The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and Rawlings Sporting Goods recently announced that junior Aaron Singh of the Redlands baseball team was selected as the NCAA Division III Gold Glove Shortstop.
Singh is the sole representative from the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) to be included among the honorees. He follows in the footstep of teammate Rainier Aguilar, who garnered this distinction as a catcher in 2017.
Determined at nine divisions of amateur baseball, from college to high school, the ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove awards recognize the players who have exhibited superior fielding performances at their respective positions. The first ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove teams were recognized in 2007, making this the 12th year.
During the 2018 campaign, Singh saw action in 46 games as the Bulldogs' starting shortstop. With stellar footwork and impeccable coordination, Singh recorded 150 assists and 65 putouts for an awesome .982 fielding percentage. He also contributed to 29 double plays during the Bulldogs' conference co-championship run. Offensively, he led the team in two categories with 29 extra-base hits and five triples. He also ranked eighth in Division III with 21 doubles.
Earlier this season Singh earned a spot on the D3Baseball.com All-America team and the ABCA/Rawlings All-America team. He also received First-Team All-Region nods from both associations and garnered an All-SCIAC acknowledgment to accompany this latest accolade.
For a complete list of the Gold Glove teams, please visit the ABCA/Rawlings website.

Wearing: Alice McCall Waiting for the Sun dress | Dream catcher necklace from Singapore | Salvatore Ferragamo mini tote (similar here, available in black here) | Gorman bag charm (similar here)
New Alice McCall is about to hit stores and here's a peek of what's to come. This high neck, ruffle trim silk dress is one of my favourites from the collection. I love the muted colour tones and the criss-cross detailing on the back. It's got that summer feel that also carries itself well into Autumn. Shot in and on the way to the bamboo forest at Padma Resort Ubud, Padma really is the perfect backdrop for everything.

On Thursday 12th, we went to the Ashmoleon museum in Oxford. The instructor took us to a statue art room with loads of ancient statues made by Ancient Greeks. None of them were copies and I thought that was amazing! Our first activity was where we had to get in a pair and we had to find a certain model and a fact. After that, we went into a roomful of objects such as armour, pots and jewellery. I recommend it because we got to hold real ancient artefacts- not copies but real! We went round the museum and found more things we didn't know about so on the way back, we had LOADS to talk about. I personally recommend this trip for next year's year 6.
Other comments from year six:-
"I learnt a lot of new things" Alex
"I loved holding real Ancient Greek objects" Duncan
"I thought the activities were fun" Gem
"I loved the museum, it was really fun" Zayn
"I enjoyed looking at the statues of the Gods" Ellie

Thought to have originated in the area known as Asia Minor, fig rolls have been consumed for thousands of years. Early fig rolls could be as simple as rolled dried figs, at times combined with fruits such as apricots or dates, which were commonly eaten by travelers. Spreading around North Africa, the fig roll is believed to have been developed into a pastry in Egypt when flour, spices, and honey were added to the dish.
Fig rolls are a rich source of concentrated nutrients, including calcium, iron, and potassium. They also have a lot of fiber, no sodium, no fat, and no cholesterol. Readily available and calorie-rich, they can be used as a snack food to provide quick energy or they can be a regular part of the diet as part of sustained general nutrition.
While early fig rolls were shaped by hand, commercially prepared fig rolls today are generally made by using modern baking machinery. Many of these commercial preparations use some form of fig paste wrapped in dough, which is then baked and packaged for mass consumption as cookies. Some use other fruits in combination with, or in lieu of, figs to serve as the filling for the cookies.
The fig roll remains a featured delicacy in Egyptian cuisine, as well as in the cuisine of numerous other countries in the Middle East and Mediterranean. It tends to retain its authentic characteristics in these areas. A fig roll can be eaten throughout the day — from early morning with tea, to an afternoon snack, to an after-dinner dessert.
The distinctive taste of a fig roll can be varied by adding any of a number of different types of ingredients, such as dates, honey, and nuts. A variety of seeds and spices can also be added to a fig roll, such as cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. Rosewater can be added for a delicate aroma. Some dessert fig rolls are made by adding chocolate and marzipan. The shape can vary as well, such as being shaped into small balls or thin flat bars called fig cakes.
Many home recipes also exist for making fig rolls. These recipes tend to be very easy to follow and can produce outstanding results with a minimum of effort. Labeled with names such as fig bars, fig cookies, or fig cakes, these recipes can be found on the Internet and in general cookbooks.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Comic Review: John Carter, Warlord of Mars #4
A few weeks late but better late than never.
As part four of "Invaders of Mars" opens we find ourselves in Manassas, Virginia 1861 and see the back story of one Captain Joshua Clark-here a violent but determined Union solider-and his first encounter with Captain Jack Carter of Virginia. Barely surviving that meeting, Clark vowed to seek revenge against Carter and when abducted by the Kahori, he finally tracked him down to Barsoom. Oh and Dejah Thoris is about to be executed for failing to help Clark track down her husband! But never doubt John Carter, who puts his leaping and sword abilities to good use and finally discovers who is behind the invasion of his adopted home.
Pretty much this issue is all back story, finally providing glimpses of Clark's character and his background with Carter. It's an interesting turn, showing Clark as a vicious, almost bloodthirsty soldier and Carter as that gentleman we all knew from the books. Beyond that Ron Marz spends the rest of the issue just moving pieces around until the final face to face.
Helping keep interest is the excellent art by Abhishek Malsuni. From the opening-which is the most realistic (so to speak) to the arid lands of Barsoom to his fetching princess design, Malsuni keeps the reader's attention even when the story does slow down. I hope he remains on the title for the duration as his work is becoming the best thing about the new series.
So Barsoomians if you haven't picked this up yet do so. Just be prepared for setup not payoff. Until next time faithful readers.

'The Force Awakens' Trailer 2 Set for May 1
OK mark your calendars! Collider is reporting that the next trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens will hit theaters May 1 in front of Avengers: Age of Ultron. That's probably not much of a surprise considering Disney now owns both properties but at least it's some confirmation. However we might get to see it earlier since the trailer will be shown at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim which starts April 16 and Lucasfilm and Disney might want to get it online before poor copies flood Youtube. For more check out http://collider.com/star-wars-force-awakens-new-trailer-avengers-2/.

Retro Comics: John Carter, Warlord of Mars #17
I know. I have no excuses for falling behind here except work, weather and computer issues. While at some point I will review the last few issues of the new series, here's the latest from the classic John Carter, Warlord of Mars series that asks the question "What Price Victory?"
Surviving their crash from the last issue, John Carter finds himself under siege from mysterious white men...with wings! When one carries off Dejah Thoris, Carter fights harder but eventually is knocked unconscious. When he wakes he discovers he is a honored guest in the city of Karanthor, inhabited by Orovars, the fabled ancient race of Barsoom. But when attends dinner with the jedwar of the army Gar Karus, Carter also finds himself at a slave auction...with Dejah the prime prize!
Digging into the past of the Orovars and Barsoomian history, Chris Claremont presents an intriguing idea, especially considering Burroughs' own exploration of the fabled races of Mars in several of the novels. Where I do have problems is the idea of them suddenly being basically Hawkmen from Flash Gordon. Not that flying humans is a bad concept, it just seems a little off here. Still the issue is a fast paced read, with Carter for once being helpless and not knowing what to do, even though he does seem to yell a lot here.
Ernie Colon handles art duties and he does a good job with the characters, especially since once you move past the opening there isn't much action. Again though the Hawkmen still look too Alex Raymond-like but they stand out well. All in all pretty good, just not a home run.
So there you go folks. Next time "Tars Tarkas Fights Alone!" Finally the Thark gets his moment in the comic book spotlight.

'Star Wars: Rogue One' Set for 2016
I'll just cut to the news here. With The Force Awakens approaching, news has finally been revealed on Disney's upcoming Star Wars films, in this case courtesy of Disney President Bob Iger. The first piece is that director Rian Johnson is now confirmed to be directing Episode VIII and that the film is set to hit theaters May 26, 2017, a good forty years and a day after the release of the original film. The second-and for the moment bigger-news was the announcement of the title for the first spin-off film, Rogue One, as well as confirming that recent Oscar nominee Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) has joined director Gareth Edwards for the film. The plot? Well if that title is an indication it might involve the formation of the X-Wing Rogue Squadron, whose past was explored in the now discarded "Expanded Universe." Or it could be still tied up the rumor of a group of bounty hunters who steal the plans for the first Death Star. We'll find out on December 16, 2016 and for more check out http://www.starwars.com/news/rogue-one-is-the-first-star-wars-stand-alone-film-rian-johnson-to-write-and-direct-star-wars-episode-viii

Retro Comics: John Carter, Warlord of Mars #16
Still no new John Carter review (a combination of work, bad weather and moving) so let's head back to the previous series as this one delivers a shock..."JOHN CATER IS DEAD!"
On the second anniversary of their wedding, Carter and Dejah Thoris are celebrating when Carter collapses, the victim of a deadly d'ath spider poison. His killer, a female slave named Daria, reveals she is working for the Guild of Assassins and with her mission complete attempts to escape only to jump to her death when caught. With her husband dead, Dejah vows vengeance and departs to track down the Guild and infilitrate their ranks. But thanks to that Jassomian metabolism Carter lives and leaves to save his wife. But when he does catch up with her a downdraft forces their craft down and the two pass out unaware of approaching figures...
As mentioned last time, a new team takes over with this issue and they start off with a bang. Taking over writing duties is Chris Claremont (a few years from his legendary run on Uncanny X-Men) and he shows a knack for capturing Burroughs' style, from the opening to Carter's first person narration, he manages to setup a fast paced tale while keeping things clear and fresh.
Art duties are being handled here by Ernie Colon and his work is good, especially in the opening sequence and chase of Carter's killer. Later pages show some offbeat touches (like why does Carter leave Helium in nothing but purple undies?) but he manages to capture some impressive visuals and offers up some nice imagery.
So with chapter one of "The Master Assassin of Mars" underway we have a gripping opener and some interesting twists ahead. Stay tuned...

A Peek at Bif Bang Pow's 'Flash Gordon'
I am still catching up with news I missed and well here some more: At the recent Toy Fair manufacturer Bif Bang Pow announced a new 3 3/4 inch action figure line based on the camptastic 1980 epic and here's a preview. So far it looks like Flash, Ming, Barin, Vultan and Princess Aura will be getting the plastic treatment. I just like the cool Kenner Star Wars inspired packaging.

Retro Comics: John Carter, Warlord of Mars #15
Sorry again for the lack of updates and reviews. I'll try to have reviews of the new John Carter, Warlord of Mars soon but for now we get a two for the price of one retro review as we dive into "The History Holocaust!" and "Tales of Barsoom!"
The first story finds disgruntled scientist Tallus deciding that Barsoom would be better off without John Carter. Inviting Carter to a demonstration of his latest invention, he traps Carter inside a huge computer that projects false lives into Carter's mind, making him believe he is both Theodoric, the man who fell before Attila the Hun, and Antigonous, the one-eyed adviser to Alexander the Great. Knowing his real life alter egos were doomed to die, Carter must struggle to remember who he is or suffer the same fate!
In the second story, Carter relates the history of Barsoom that he learned from Black Pirate Xodar, going from the Big Bang to the Tree of Life and the eventual evolution of every species on Mars.
Wrapping up his run on the series, Marv Wolfman crafts a pretty efficient tale in "History Holocaust" with some tried and true conventions (mad scientists, action and a beautiful woman) that while fun won't be remembered as one of the highlights of the entire series. Still there is some interesting ideas (including the idea of a machine broadcasting fake lives into a living person's brain, owing to Phillip K. Dick) and a rousing ending where Carter does his best Hulk impression. "Tales of Barsoom" meanwhile is a nice addition that provides history for those unfamiliar with the books and it's a shame that Marvel did not carry this over into the future issues.
Picking up art duties for this issue are Walt Simonson (the legendary artist best known for his great run on The Mighty Thor) and series regular Rudy Nebres. Both work well together crafting some nice visuals and character designs that carry the story along. "Tales of Barsoom" boasts layouts by Ross Andru and it does clash with the first story but is still nicely done, helped by eye catching color.
With that we bid farewell to the original team and wait to see what the new one does on Barsoom. Until then folks, Kaor!

I found a very rambling version of this poem while reading through my journal from February/March-ish. I think I never really edited it and put it up because I ended up stealing from it for a bunch of different poems – there were several parts that I like, which I ended up recycling into other things. So I never put up the original. But when I found it today I thought I might as well!
Also – I have been not great at writing poetry for the past few months. I just haven't been focusing on it as much as I want to be. I was thinking of starting up the "poem every day" thing again – especially since I'm going to be a camp counselor for two weeks starting Saturday, which should give me plenty of observational material to work with, if nothing else.
*ahem* okay, here's the poem:
he moved in beneath my eyelids 8 days ago –
i could have picked any part of me to use for this metaphor.
his residency beneath my fingernails (a weak
explanation for the lack of chewing – I am growing
him room to set up his bed frame),
a nest in the pocket of my cheek (count his parts
like watermelon seeds, taste him before i wake up).
i could explain the terms of tenancy – see the lease
in the bones of my back.
i could have said he inhabits the hourglass between breasts,
how he hesitates to touch me but doesn't wait
to make a home out of a woman.
when do you ask an overstayed guest
to start paying rent?

CERN recently put up a series of talks from their latest Open Days: "The lectures cover more than 20 topics from the invention of the World Wide Web and the discovery of the Higgs boson to CERN's antimatter experiments and the Large Hadron Collider." And, StackExchange saw a superb series of answers to what might seem like a relatively simple question: What's inside a proton? Whilst it's sort of true to say they're composed of two up and one down quark, the question then develops rather interestingly. Consider this chart, showing the internal appearance of a proton, based on collision energy on the Y axis, and "resolving power" of the "probe" particle on the X.
If you've experienced difficulties getting your parents online, how have you worked with that?

Blue River has published a new appendix to the Mura 7 documentation, titled "Mura UI Markup Conventions". This in-depth guide explores each of the common interface elements used in Plugin UI such as tabs, tables, forms, alerts and icons, along with some general information about page layout and the new responsive grid system used in the admin. Patterns for creating Custom Display Object Configurators are also covered, complete with working examples and links to additional references.
For the release of Mura 7, the admin interface was redesigned to be more intuitive, fluid and future-proof. This required some changes both major and minor to the way the admin pages are structured.
It also included an overhaul of Mura's admin form structure, and the addition of some extra functionality. For example, form input groupings have been greatly simplified, while the new responsive tables with built-in selection menus are an updated twist on a basic html table, with markup conventions varying somewhat from those in previous versions. In addition, Mura 7 introduces major enhancements to the browser-based workflow, most notably the robust "inline edit" mode which allows for content and components, in the form of display objects, to be placed visually on the page, with configurable options managed from a user-friendly side toolbar.
When extending the admin functionality through Mura plugins, or adding custom display objects to the inline editor, there are a few standards which must be followed. While it is possible to explore existing code in order to figure out the basics of these patterns, there are a few crucial details when working with each html object type which can make or break an attempt at customization.
To that end, Blue River has published an appendix to the Mura documentation, titled "Mura UI Markup Conventions". This in-depth online guide explores each of the common interface elements used in Plugin UI such as tabs, tables, forms, alerts and icons, along with some general information about page layout and the new responsive grid system used in the Mura 7 admin. Patterns for creating custom "display object configurators" are also covered, complete with working examples and links to additional references. (Display object code conventions were also outlined in a previous post on the Mura CMS blog.)
As with any documentation, details will be added as features are expanded or suggestions are made for improvement. The current published version of the new Mura UI Markup Conventions section includes basic examples of usage for each listed element, along with working code snippets to jump-start custom UI creation and maintain consistency with the overall theme and behavior of the Mura 7 admin area and inline editor.
To facilitate adoption and understanding of these new conventions and concepts, Blue River has published an on-demand webinar titled "Super Fast Application Development with Mura 7". This online class is presented as an introduction to new features, with a focus on demonstrating ease of use and overall development workflow concepts.
Another excellent reference can be found at https://github.com/stevewithington/cfsummit-2016 . Steve Withington's presentation at the 2016 Adobe ColdFusion Summit explains many of the new concepts in Mura 7, and provides useful tips and code examples as part of the downloadable pdf document.

The year lies, insults, threats and fat shaming supplanted civil discourse
Let's just make it official: the Year of the Trolls.
Mark down 2016 as the unseemly epoch when the online mob murdered civil discourse.
They slathered the internet with their racist and xenophobic and misogynistic suppositions. They disseminated outrageous lies. They slaughtered reputations. They slandered innocents. They posted their targets' home addresses and phone numbers, along with embarrassing photos. They nurtured lunatic conspiracy theories. And they brutally harassed those hapless souls who questioned their veracity.
And oh how they fouled our politics. It was no longer enough to question someone's political ideology. The trolls had to insist their perceived enemies were outright evil, that they were unpatriotic traitors or criminal operatives or secret saboteurs, in league with Muslim terrorists, who — in their spare time, when they weren't busy conspiring to seize the guns of law-abiding Americans or plotting a UN takeover — were running child sex rings in the basements of pizza joints.
It was the year the trolls managed to elevate one of their own to higher office, a serial tweeter and unabashed fabulist, a man who employed insults, personal attacks, fat shaming and outright lies to denigrate his political opponents. This was someone who rose to national prominence in 2011 by peddling a mendacious claim that the president was not born in the United States.
So the King of the Trolls was elected president of the United States.
Maybe the boys behind gamergate weren't far off when they took credit for Donald Trump's election. (The #Gamergate profile photo on Twitter is Trump in a purple and green Make America Great Again baseball cap.)
Gamergate, flogged into the nation's consciousness by Breitbart's notorious provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, was the online harassment campaign that disgruntled boy gamers waged against women ("feminist bullies," Yiannopoulos called them) who trespassed into their netherworld. Boston magazine reported video game designer Zoe Quinn's account of what happened after her ex-boyfriend sicced the online gang on her. "I have received numerous death and rape threats from an anonymous mob that [her ex] had given details to. My personal info like my home address, phone number, emails, passwords, and those of my family has been widely distributed, alongside nude photos of me, and several of my professional accounts and those of my colleagues have been hacked."
All that, of course, accomplished in furious anonymity. That's how we roll here in our not-so-brave new world.
(Yiannopoulos, who says he's writing a book about his Gamergate exploits, was permanently banned from Twitter in July after leading a racist online campaign against "Ghostbusters" actor Leslie Jones. But at least Yiannopoulos, who revels in his notoriety, can't be accused of hiding in the shadows.)
Gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas might have been an Olympic hero last summer in Rio, but the trolls were relentless when they noticed she hadn't placed her hand over her heart during the national anthem. The Washington Post described "a steady stream of hate" roiling out of the internet.
The Pew Research Center has documented an epidemic of online harassment, intimidation, threats, stalking or attempts to embarrass someone. At least 40 percent of adult internet users reported some kind of harassment in Pew's survey. Cyber bullies, of course, prefer young women. Pew found that 70 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds have experienced harassment.
It was during 2016 that many of us first became familiar with terms like "doxxed" — the dark art of posting hacked private information like Social Security numbers or home addresses, etc. online. Or worse, "swatted," when harassers falsely report an armed emergency at their target's address, hoping a police SWAT team will come barging into the home.
The left has its nasties, for sure, but 2016 was the year that trollers from the so-called "alt-right" went berserk. (In July, a headline in the alt-right online publication Breitbart suggested, "The solution to online 'harassment' is simple: Women should log off.")
Far-right trolls despised liberals, feminists and the Black Lives Matter crowd, of course, but they were furious with Never-Trump Republicans. David French, a staff writer with the conservative National Review, wrote about the torrent of sexually explicit abuse aimed at his wife and the racist denigration of his adopted 7-year-old daughter. "I share my family's story not because we are unique or because our experience is all that extraordinary, but rather because it is depressingly, disturbingly ordinary this campaign season," French wrote. "The formula is simple: Criticize Trump — especially his connection to the alt-right — and the backlash will come."
Meanwhile, the Anti-Defamation League reported that some 800 journalists had been subjected to anti-semitic online attacks, most of them by Twitter. (I've received a few anti-semitic missives myself. Doesn't matter that I'm not Jewish.)
This was the year NPR joined CNN, Reuters, the Toronto Star and other publications who've stopped allowing reader comments, which have become so laden with anger, threats, racism, insults that they've stifled civil conversation. As the Brattleboro (Vermont) Reformer reported in September, the abusive comments had a "chilling effect on people's desire to contribute meaningfully to a productive discussion of the issues."
Two weeks ago, a 57-year-old woman named Lucy Richards appeared in federal court in Fort Lauderdale after she was sending anonymous death threats to the parent of a child murdered in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre. Richards, prosecutors charged, had reacted to online trolls who claim the killings never happened and that the parents were actors in a giant government conspiracy.
The Sun-Sentinel described this operative from the dark side of the internet, this emissary come in from the troll universe. Richards shuffled into the courtroom in a flowery blouse and furry black bedroom slippers, pushing a walker.
It was that kind of year.

As a Fitness Professional, we accept that most of our coaching is client centered. We hope to develop a trusting relationship with the individual so as to build the foundation for change. We provide a program, training, nutrition coaching and our own support all with the goal of helping the client achieve whatever goal they have set out for themselves.
We do all we can to provide a positive, informative, safe and fun environment for our clients. What happens, though, when your client leaves the gym? When they leave the comfort of your support and expertise?
This is where your clients support system comes in to play. Are the clients loved ones; friends, family, spouses, parents, coworkers etc. providing the same support you provide them?
Over the past few years of "dealing" with high strung parents and spouses, hearing horror stories involving family and coworkers I see a disappointing trend. The overwhelming majority of the "support systems" I see are doing more harm then good for their loved ones.
We've all been there. The overbearing parent who feels the need to speak for their child as they sit in the corner with their head down dreading every second of a consultation. A spouse who, being so "into fitness", just "doesn't understand" why their stressed out, overweight husband won't get up early to run 5 miles with them every morning.
The fact of the matter is that these are the individuals who will influence your client the most. So what then is a coach to do to help improve their clients support system to provide a better environment to keep them motivated and on the right track? Well, you could just provide them with these simple yet crucial tips for becoming a better support system.
A positive change requires positivity. During a disturbing and admittedly slightly inebriated (not on my part!) recent conversation with the fiance of a new client, she made the half sarcastic comment "you mean I shouldn't call him fat and lazy?!"
Shaming someone into change will yield nothing but the individual completely shutting down and avoiding any suggestion following out of spite.
Now that is an extreme. What about when the client decides to make a less than stellar food choice and you roll your eyes or even say "are you really going to eat that?"
Still, obviously negative.
What about an innocent gesture such as packing the clients gym bag so they are prepared to go to the gym the next day? Often times this may be misconstrued as "you're fat and need to go to the gym while I go out shopping or to play golf".
Negativity also leads to negative self talk. Feelings of inadequacy or that "they can't do it". This is something you, as a loved one don't see and is crippling for success and must be avoided at all costs.
Instead, keep an aura of positivity surrounding all things health and fitness. Obviously avoid degrading your loved one. Make subtle suggestions as to what may be a better option to eat (if you are qualified to do so). Offer to join your loved one at the gym so they don't feel alone or as if they're being punished.
If all else fails, the rule of "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it" applies. If you cannot provide a better actionable step or if you have nothing positive to add to a situation say/do NOTHING.
This is a shot at the person who "just doesn't understand". Guess what…
You don't have to!
While you may be an important cog in their change, it is ultimately about them. The client; your loved one. As well as you think you know them, you can never understand their individual struggle. Often times they don't even understand it themselves.
Don't apply your habits, lifestyle etc. to your loved one. Just because you eat a certain way or enjoy a certain activity doesn't mean they will enjoy eating the same way or enjoy the same activity. Furthermore, just because something works for you doesn't mean it will work for them.
Managing choices on a day to day/moment by moment basis is an important part of any road to change. Notice I said MANAGE…not MAKE. There is a distinct difference.
MAKING a choice implies a split yes or no decision in a moment where impulse and pressure are abound. For someone who struggles with will power this often times leads to failure. This is akin to going out to your favorite Italian restaurant and struggling between the grilled chicken salad and penne ala vodka when you're trying to adhere to a certain diet. Yea, you already made the "wrong" choice.
Oh is everyone having desert? Well I'm not going to be the only one without a creme' brule!
MANAGING a choice starts with the understanding that the choice to not cook dinner, will lead to the choice of deciding to eat out, which will lead to the choice of the Italian restaurant, which will inevitably lead to the will power draining decision I just described.
Best case scenario; your loved one made the "right decisions" in that situation but now they are so drained from the internal fight that they will be more likely to make poor decisions thereafter. Worst case; bad decisions lead to feelings of inadequacy and more bad decisions. Failure is a slippery slope.
What are you to do in that hypothetical situation then? Use your 2nd grade foreshadowing skills and encourage eating in before they get to the edge of that slope!
This also includes work schedule/stresses, parties/events etc. If the situation does not allow for good choices, the situation must be changed or steps must be taken to manage choices before they become overbearing. Understand their struggle and help them avoid situations where failure is a high probability.
So, you've done a bang up job managing choices or you've gotten yourself and your loved one into a situation you just cannot avoid. Dinner with the in-laws who choose the restaurant because they're paying? A child's birthday party that you were forced to host perhaps? So, they end up choosing the crazy past dish, drinking too much wine and have more than their share of ice cream cake. Failure is inevitable from time to time but that doesn't mean they fell off the wagon or that everything they've done up till now is a waste.
This is a hard pill to swallow but humor me for a second. If the client plans never to fail (i.e. makes less than stellar nutritional choices, misses a training session etc.) then what happens when they do? And they will! This, again will lead to feelings of failure or inadequacy and whoops, there is that slippery slope again.
I, on the other hand, make it a habit to prepare my clients for this inevitability. As stated before, situations don't always allow for the best choices. Fortunately, one poor decision doesn't break progress anymore than one good decision makes it.
Just this simple knowledge allows the client to get back on track soon after without feeling guilty and impeding progress.
Furthermore, just because your loved one succumbs to prior poor habits once in a while doesn't mean it is open season for you to drag them down into more bad decisions. At its worst I've seen loved ones hold on to clients failures and use them as ammo later on in an effort to coerce them into "letting loose" more often.
At the very least, understand that mistakes happen but they by no means are the deciding factor in their success, unless you/they allow them be so.
Last but certainly not least. Too many people feel they know what's best for their loved ones. Whether it be a parent telling me their middle school daughter needs to work on their "foot speed" with ladder drills or an overbearing spouse who thinks Vegan is the best way for their hubby to shed some bodyfat.
Even if this is not you; if you are well informed or even a coach yourself anyone can tell you that it is almost impossible to coach a loved one for a host of reasons. That is why they have solicited the help of someone like myself instead of you in the first place.
Furthermore, as a coach, we like to deal with "big rocks" first. Understand that the route to success as determined by the coach and client may not seem like much. In fact, they may seem insignificant, trivial or downright backwards. Make no doubt about it, though, any positive, lasting change is progress. Any change that doesn't last is failure.
For example; for a previously sedentary individual 2 days of strength training, while not ideal for body composition change, may be all someone can handle physically or more importantly mentally.
Most importantly, if you have done your due diligence in hiring someone like myself you are instilling a certain level of trust. A trust that as a fitness professional, we are equipped with the knowledge to help your loved one achieve THEIR goals (not yours) in the most effective, safest and most fun manner possible.
In addition, you must trust and expect that if a fitness professional does not possess the qualifications necessary that they will refer out to someone who does or pursue the necessary knowledge moving forward.
If necessary, contact the coach and ask for an explanation on a certain issue. Get on the same page as them. You are just as much a part of the team as the coach and deserve to know the plan and how you can help.
At the end of the day, however, you have to let go and trust the process as well as those who are determining it.
There you have it. A few tips for those sitting on the sidelines as their significant other, child, friend etc. attempts the extraordinary. You are an integral part of the change they hope to make. All I ask is that you remain patient, be supportive and do all you can to help them succeed…They need you!

Note : This post has been long overdue, but was delayed primarily because of the lack of decent internet connectivity in the past week. Nevertheless, here it is... :)
As part of this year's Shaastra, the folks at IITM decided to include a Hackfest (a glorified version of last year's installment, if i have my facts correct), with the noble aim of getting students and enthusiasts started with code contributions to Open Source. At KStar's behest, I dropped in to do a track on FFmpeg which was IMO quite successful. I'll attempt to summarize the proceedings.
The "story" starts way before the hackfest days. I spent _a lot_ of time trying to come up with things students would even remotely find interesting. Sadly, we dont have any "Easy first bugs" or other such low hanging fruit (with the added constraint of the program schedule). Most bugs require a fairly decent amount of knowledge of format specs, multimedia concepts in general, audio/video coding theory etc. So fixing bugs was (mostly) out of the picture. Code cleanups and documentation, though important and useful, didnt seem like a good idea because I personally feel functional patches > cosmetics :)
So I finally settled on a simple and modular task of writing playback support for a format we dont support yet. Obviously, there were quite a few candidates, so I randomly selected Psygnosis YOP and HNM.
To start things off, there were a bunch of talks. I did one too (though I usually suck at these things). To my surprise, a lot of people in the hall that day actually knew about FFmpeg and some had actually used it too :)
Slides here
Moving on, Yadu and Noufal hacked on FFmpeg during the hackfest days. Day 1 mostly consisted of wading through the codebase and understanding the format and the other days were spent hacking together some patches. I'm quite happy to report that we did manage to get these patches posted as well :) Upvotes for you guys.
The other tracks were pretty successfull too. While Kstar tried to get dev builds of KDE ready, Kashyap and Prakash (KDE GSoC students for Kalzium and KStars, in that order) gave introductory talks and helped the participants get started with Qt and the KDE codebase.
Sid0 handled the Mozilla track impressively, to say the least ;) He managed to get in a decent coverage of JS _and_ got the participants started with writing stuff in Jetpack, the shiny new add-on writing API from Mozilla Labs.
Vamsi's Sugar hackfest went superbly well and from what I hear, Sugar got a long term bug wrangler/contributor :) This is probably one of the coolest things to come out of the hackfest, other than the usual slew of patches and bugfixes :)
Vimzard handled the GTK and GNOME sessions which I'm pretty sure turned out quite well (I couldnt be there because these were held in a separate lab).
(Its hard for me not to make a BloodNinja reference here, but I'll give it a pass..)
The hackfest organizers also managed to get in some improptu BoF sessions which were quite good too. The one on GSoC was quite well attended and was followed by similar discussions on version control systems, a brief rant on llvm (and parallels to gcc) and some more stuff I'm probably forgetting.
So overall, it was an awesome and productive 3 day nocturnal coding experience (though most of us arent strangers to the idea ;) ) Big ups to the Shaastra hackfest organizers, especially (and in no particular order) KStar, Kashyap Garimella, Vinay Hegde, Kashyap2 and all the fellow hackers who made the event a memorable one.
And yes, I dont usually blend FOSS with real life etc but I really did have a fun time. Just the very opportunity to put faces to IRC nicks makes it worth it. Infact, I just might change my mind and go to FOSS.IN :)
Pics courtesy Kstar here
Gotta go and listen to some awesome music I siphoned off sid0 a mile high ....

Baseball Falls To Oregon State 12-4
Feb. 17, 2007
SURPRISE, Ariz. - For a second straight game in Surprise the Sun Devils offense struggled, as they could muster only five hits in a 12-4 loss to Oregon State in a non-conference tilt in the Coca-Cola Classic. Beavers starter Joe Paterson lasted 6.2 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits to pick up his second win of the year. The loss drops ASU to 6-3 and is their sixth straight loss at Surprise Stadium. 5,582 fans packed Surprise Stadium, the largest crowd to ever watch a game in the five year history of the Coca-Cola Classic.
The Beavers got to ASU starter Joey Parigi early, touching him for a run in the top of the first. Arizona State was able to even things up in the bottom half of the inning when Brett Wallace scored on a ground out by Ike Davis to make it 1-1.
The Devils would take a 2-1 lead in the third when Andrew Romine scored on a ground ball from Eric Sogard that was misplayed at shortstop. They pushed it to 3-1 when Wallace scored on a Kiel Roling RBI groundout.
The Beavers jumped ahead in the fourth, scoring four times to make it 4-3, then added another run in the sixth to push the margin to 5-3. That would end Parigi's afternoon after six innings. He allowed five runs, four earned, on six hits with five strikeouts and took the loss to drop him to 1-1 on the year.
Oregon State would put some insurance runs on the board in the seventh off Dustin Brader. After the Beavers loaded the bases with one out, Brader hit Mitch Canham to force in a run and make it 6-3. Matt Trink came in for Brader and promptly gave up an RBI single and then hit a batter to force in another run. The Beavers would make it 11-3 after a sac fly and a two-run single up the middle before the inning would come to an end.
That seventh inning proved to doom the Devils as they fell 12-4. It is the second straight loss for ASU and drops them to 7-7 all-time in the Coca-Cola Classic. Prior to 2006, ASU had been 7-2 in the tournament.
Earlier in the afternoon, Missouri defeated Gonzaga 10-3.
The Sun Devils close out the Coca-Cola Classic tomorrow afternoon when they face the Gonzaga Bulldogs at 2 p.m. at Surprise Stadium. Oregon State and Missouri will play at 10 a.m.

Tracy Jed, 44, of New Baltimore, isn't a typical soccer mom.
While she's a big supporter of her two soccer-playing sons, 8 and 15, Jed also plays soccer herself and runs, participating in 5K and 10K races with her oldest son and good friends.
About 12 months ago, pain and intense fatigue in her right leg started putting Jed on the bench and sofa.
"My right leg just felt really, really heavy, I could barely cross the finish line anymore," Jed recalls.
Jed's primary care physician, Parag Patel, M.D., provided her with a referral to board-certified interventional radiologist, Michael Bischoff, M.D., founder and director of the Beaumont Vein Center in Sterling Heights.
"Tracy's case wasn't typical," says Bischoff, who has more than 20 years of experience performing and interpreting ultrasounds and ultrasound-guided procedures. "Though she was experiencing significant insufficiency in her great, small and intersaphenous veins, she did not have visible varicose veins to indicate this."
A lower extremity ultrasound revealed Jed's veins were unable to properly deliver blood from the ankle, lower leg and thigh up toward the heart, due to incompetence of the valves of her saphenous veins, which runs down the leg. Failing vein valves let blood flow backward and pool in her leg, causing poor circulation, pain and fatigue.
Bischoff successfully addressed the problem in May with an endovenous laser ablation. This minimally invasive procedure destroys the damaged vein, causing it to shrink, collapse and disappear. Afterward, the patient wears a support stocking for one week to minimize pain and promote healing.
To eliminate unsightly spider veins — a cosmetic issue, but potentially a sign of underlying venous insufficiency — Jed received sclerotherapy. In this outpatient procedure, a medicine is injected into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade.
"I feel so much better, more energetic, and I can run again," says Jed, who ran her first 5K in a year on June 24. She also looked forward to returning to the soccer field this summer. "I'm glad I had this procedure done and would recommend it to anyone who wants to continue to enjoy an active lifestyle."
Vein Center patients such as Tracy usually are able to return to work immediately following their procedure, Bischoff says.
"We make people look a lot better and feel a lot better, with minimal discomfort and the ability to return to their busy lifestyles right away," he explains.
Treatment plans are developed in a one-on-one physician consultation, based on ultrasound scans, which assess damage. In addition to saphenous ablation, the Beaumont Vein Center, located across the street from Beaumont Hospital in Troy, offers perforating vein ablation, microphlebectomy and ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy.
Endovenous laser vein ablation and most other procedures can be completed in less than an hour and are covered by most insurances. In addition to the Beaumont Vein Center in Sterling Heights, Grosse Pointe Farms and West Bloomfield, Beaumont offers vein treatment in Berkley, Farmington Hills, Royal Oak and Westland.

The movement's founders, Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, outlined a three-part program focused on houses of hospitality, round table discussions for clarification of thought, and farming communities. The movement is deeply rooted in a commitment to non-violence, voluntary poverty, and personal responsibility, which has inspired many to seek solidarity with their poor and marginalized neighbors in hopes of building peace in their local communities. The founders of the Worker envisioned the creation of "A new world within the shell of old, where it is easier for people to be good." Over the last eight decades, the Worker movement has spread from New York City, across the USA, and beyond. For more information about the Denver Catholic Worker, see the link below.

- While Economist may sometimes have a too liberal/Western slant, reading other media like Project Syndicate can help to correct that bias
- The CIA Factbook(latest edition is 2011) is a good one stop solution for facts, while Google Public Data Explorer helps to easily collect and visualize other data sets as well.
- Lonely Planet also gives a good overview of the country from the travel/linguistic perspective, and would help the travel minded people make up their minds.
- Of course, speaking to/connecting with real people really has no substitute and that is where networking(both real world and social) has its place, for uncovering the ground realities. While the sources I outlined have been largely accurate and objective, nothing beats understanding from someone who has been there/done that.

Look beyond BRICS to BASIC/CIVETS-know your geopolitics
Even the best bschools are sometimes behind the times. In 2years of solving cases based on BRIC countries, one may be forgiven for thinking that emerging markets stop and end with the heavily hyped BRIC countries. That flawed world view(once you read the resources below and think critically, you will understand why it is flawed) may read you to ignore countries like Indonesia, Nigeria, South Africa, Turkey, Canada, Australia where history is being shaped as we speak. Internships, job opportunities, student exchange programs could all be available in those countries for IIM alumni in the near future(if not already), so do not form decisions based on uninformed conjecture. In the finance world, BRICS is rapidly getting passe and changing to CIVETS/BASIC as people realize that countries like India belong more in the developing/emerging world than to be classed as powerful etc. Anyways, without much ado, some useful resources to be more geopolitically aware are below. So next time, before you laugh at the survey which shows X% of Americans are ignorant about world affairs, think hard about how much you yourself know. That random history/geography learnt in school is changing before our eyes, so that is not too reliable either.

Books placed on reserve for courses can be found in two different Caltech Library locations. The Geology Library will house some course reserves, while the Sherman Fairchild Library (SFL) will have most of the reserves.
Course reserves typicall check out for 3 hours though there may be some with a longer loan period, at the discretion of the instructor.
There are two types of SFL course reserves; open and closed:
- SFL Open Reserve means the book is located on the 1st floor of SFL and can be browsed in the library. If you would like to use it outside of the library, you can check it out, typically for 3 hours.
- Closed Reserves or SFL Circ Reserves means the books are located behind the SFL circulation desk. These must be checked out to look at them. The loan rule is typically 3 hours.
Course reserves can be highly popular so we ask that you return the book when it is due as other students from the class may need it. Please return the reserve book to the library you checked it out.

"Gotta Catch 'Em All!"™ - Pokémon™ Go Gives Rise to New Class Action Suits
The latest smartphone sensation, Pokémon Go, has led to a new series of class action lawsuits concerning private property rights. Pokémon Go, released in July by creator Niantic, is a GPS-based game that allows players to "catch" virtual creatures known as "Pokémon." Participants explore their towns and neighborhoods looking for over 150 kinds of Pokémon and items at depots called "Pokéstops." The app even allows competitors to battle other players' Pokémon at locations called "Gyms."
Niantic has programmed the app to spawn virtual Pokémon, Pokéstops, and Gyms at countless locations around the world. The app blends reality and virtual reality, using a smartphone's camera to show the "real world" on the phone screen and to populate virtual creatures, depots, and battle arenas. However, the app fails to distinguish between public and private property, meaning a personal residence could be the home to a popular Gym, a Pokéstop, or a rare Pokémon.
Days after the app debuted, some homeowners began to notice people of all ages lingering on their property, trying to be the first one to "catch 'em all." They watched helplessly as players peered through their windows and trekked across their lawns to catch Pokémon, battle other players at Gyms, or collect items from Pokéstops.
In response to these Pokémon "trainers" invading their property, homeowners in North America have filed lawsuits to enforce their property and privacy rights. For example, in July 2016, a New Jersey man filed a proposed class action suit in California federal court against Niantic, The Pokémon Company (the marketer and licensing agent of the Pokémon brand), and Nintendo Company (32% owner of The Pokémon Company). Marder v. Niantic, Inc. et al., Case No. 4:16-cv-04300 (N.D. Cal. July 29, 2016).
This suit alleges a claim for nuisance against Niantic. By placing Pokéstops and Gyms on or near private property without the permission of owners, the complaint argues that the game and Pokémon "trainers" are invading the use and enjoyment of their property. The plaintiff also alleges a claim for unjust enrichment against all three defendants, explaining that the private property of the proposed class has contributed to the game's prosperity and popularity.
As the game becomes more prevalent and the number of players grows, more disputes have arisen. For instance, a Michigan couple filed a proposed class action suit in California federal court in July, and members of a Florida condo association did the same in late August. Dodich v. Niantic, Inc. et al., Case No. 3:16-cv-04556 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 10, 2016); The Villas of Positano Condominium Ass'n v. Niantic, Inc. et al., Case No. 3:16-cv-05091 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 2, 2016). Another proposed class action case was even filed in Alberta, Canada. Schaeffer v. Niantic, Inc. et al., Case No. 1601-01491 (Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta Aug. 10, 2016). Each suit contains allegations similar to the New Jersey case; they claim that Niantic has created a nuisance by placing Pokéstops and Gyms on or near private property and that the defendants are wrongfully profiting from the success that using the private property has created.
Each case is still in the early stages of litigation, making outcomes difficult to predict. Still, they show that as technology advances and further permeates society, the law continues to evolve. Companies with similar technology should consult with counsel to evaluate their legal risks.

Room occupancy in London hotels hit a staggering 94.1%, with year-on-year profits growing by 31.3% in July, according to the latest figures.
As reported by Meet Pie, the latest HotStats survey suggests that the record-breaking levels of occupancy is a result of booming tourist numbers. The demand for hotels in capital is such that it is outstripping rival cities in Europe. In fact Paris, which is London's closest rival, has a 50% lower gross operating profit per available room than London.
Bolstered by the capital's plethora of high quality event venues, attracting thousands of business visitors to the city, London hotels have achieved the highest priced room rates since November 2007.
"The weight of this record-breaking achievement by London hoteliers cannot be praised enough," said Jonathan Langston, managing director of TRI Hospitality Consulting, who conducted the survey. "Although volume is necessary to achieve high room occupancy levels, the management of demand to fill the empty bedrooms during shoulder and low periods is also essential."
Low payroll costs have also been thanked for the incredible business year seen by hotels in the capital. In Paris, payroll costs are over a third of the total revenue of Parisian hotels; in London it's just 20%. The difference in profit conversion between the two cities has now reached over 20%.

Bollywood Buzz
Meet the frenemies of Bollywood
A leading Mumbai tabloid reported that Arjun Kapoor & Ranveer Singh have had a fall out. The rivalries between both young actors came to the forefront when both had to accommodate their shoot dates for a new ad.
However, a source from the Yashraj business team said "There's been no fall out. The two are good friends." Arjun Kapoor is busy shooting for Tevar and Ranveer Singh for Dil Dhadhakne Do.
Consequently, their dates for this elaborate ad shoot are clashing. No doubt, Arjun and Ranveer are fiercely competitive with each other, and they did share some cold vibes over Anushka Sharma. But their male bonding supersedes such feelings. Now the ad is being planned for Mid July, when both men have breathing space from their shooting schedules.
The other Frenemies who have hugged and made up, are Srk and Ajay Devgn. On the sets of Singham Returns, SRK swung by while driving past and gave a bear hug to Ajay, wishing him all the luck for his film with Rohit Shetty. But our sources say, Devgn isn't thrilled to be 'surprised' like this, and while he won't put up a fight with King Khan, he is no mood to be BFFs either!
Frenemies, who aren't going to bridge the gap soon, are Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Once friends enough to gossip about Ranbir Kapoor of KJo's couch, Deepika and Sonam have had a fall out over PR planting strategies by Deepika's hyper active PR team. Sonam, who used to work with the same team in the past, was so miffed that she replaced them within flat 2 days. The beauties have sparred over these differences through comments in the press, though to be fair, they have been asked quite often about their mutual issues.
Friends turned enemies are also Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala. Something happened during the making of Housefull 2, perhaps the fact that Nadiadwala didn't make a sizeable amount of money as the comic caper over shot it budget. But the two Sajids are not on speaking terms, and keep themselves to themselves.

You'll be able to take into consideration Fidel Castro whatever you want, but I believe he proved the speculation of a Great Man. For higher or worse, he made a difference. I think Che Guevara was much less profitable than Fidel, however he additionally left his legacy and a legend which I like for its romanticism.

With two draft picks, the Bears might have found replacements for Tommie Harris and Anthony Adams.
The catch: Both picks were used on one player.
Stephen Paea is half Harris, who was released in March, and half Adams, who turned down a contract offer from the Bears and is expected to become an unrestricted free agent if free agency ever begins.
To get a chance at the Oregon State defensive tackle, the Bears moved up nine spots in the second round, giving the Redskins their second-round pick and their fourth — the same fourth-round pick the Bears tried but failed to trade to the Ravens one day earlier.
The Bears were willing to deal for Paea because they feared two or three teams could have chosen him once North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin went off the board to the Giants. Prime suspects were the Eagles and the Seahawks.
The Bears were so enamored with Paea that if Gabe Carimi had been off the board when their turn came up in the first round, Paea might have been their highest draft choice — perhaps through a trade-down. Bears player personnel director Tim Ruskell said there was a draft room consensus on how well Paea fit what the Bears needed.
What appealed to the Bears about Paea was his versatility to play the three-technique, Harris' position, or the nose, which Adams often has played.
"The great thing about him in talking with (defensive coordinator) Rod (Marinelli) is we feel he's capable of doing both," Ruskell said. "That's what we liked about him, that's what a lot of people liked is his versatility. And he's a guy that's very strong and very quick, two different traits that we look for in those positions."
Paea did not have a lot of sack production at Oregon State, but the Bears weren't considering numbers as much as they were looking at game tape.
"We just don't worry about sack numbers," Ruskell said of Paea, who had six sacks as a senior. "We worry about the quarterback pulling the ball down and getting flushed out of the pocket. When you can team him up with a guy like (Julius) Peppers, that's key. Get the quarterback out of the pocket, then you have a chance. This guy really affects what the quarterback is doing, what they are trying to do with the passing game."
They also wanted a player who could be a force against the run. Paea does not have great bulk at 6-1, 303, but he plays like a bigger man. He gets low and uses leverage to his advantage.
And he is exceptionally strong. At the combine, he bench-pressed 225 pounds 49 times, the most by any player in a dozen years.
"If you didn't see that on the film, that would just be a sideshow," Ruskell said. "But he plays that way, he gets people off him."
Said general manager Jerry Angelo, "He's been blessed. He has weight-room strength that translates on the field."
The Bears targeted Paea ahead of a number of others in the second tier of defensive tackles. He was a cleaner prospect than Austin, who went one pick ahead of them to the Giants. They preferred him to South Florida's Terrell McClain, who was chosen by the Panthers 12 picks after them. They liked him better than Clemon's Jarvis Jenkins, who went 12 picks ahead of them to the Redskins.
Paea also stood out to the Bears because of his quick first step.
"Not all those guys that we looked at, especially for the three-technique, had that," Ruskell said. "They did some other things athletically with their feet, but he had that; and then the strength ability to be able to hold off the double team with his upper body. … When you combine that with his effort level and his passion for the game, it was kind of a no-brainer for us, whereas all of those other guys had something missing here or there."
The only way Paea could have been more appealing is if he could have replaced an offensive lineman too.

Not all superheroes wear capes. But you can be sure that the ones who do probably have a Stuck On You name label attached to the inside.
Name labels are a great way to kickstart a more organised Back To School routine. Labelling items like school uniforms, hats, coats, shoes, swimming gear, lunchboxes, backpacks, stationery and sports equipment means less time spent rummaging through Lost Property and more time spent listening to stories about your child's day.
At Stuck On You, we want to help you avoid the chaos of Back To School. Sit down with your kids over the school holidays and order your name labels early. You won't believe how excited they are when a big parcel arrives full of labels printed with their name! Allowing your child to choose their favourite font and design icon gives them a real sense of pride, and they'll love sitting down to label new school books and stationery over the holidays.
It can be overwhelming trying to decide what you need, so we recommend starting with a big Value Pack and labelling everything that could possibly go missing. Grab a combination of Iron On labels, Shoe Dots (sweat-resistant, great for sports shoes) and Write On Labels (great for labelling lunches before popping in the freezer).
Our range of backpacks can be personalised as well, ensuring your child will instantly recognise theirs in a pile of bags. Browse our range of backpacks, dance bags, sports bags, book bags and duffle bags (great for school camp). Help your child identify their bag with a personalised Bag Tag. Choose from a classic round button shape that attaches like a keyring, or a durable plastic bag tag shaped like a cupcake, a robot, sports icons, a love heart and more. Don't forget to grab a personalised lunchbox with an insulated foil lining to keep all their food and snacks fresh.
This should be enough to get you started, and then you can simply top up your label supplies throughout the year as they start to dwindle.
Our clever website means you can type in your child's name, choose a font and your favourite design icon then preview how your labels will look before placing an order. Our unique scratch-resistant coating means your labels won't fade or smudge. Just make sure the surface is clean and flat, as sticking these labels to a dimpled surface means water can sneak in and cause it to peel off.
We're helping you beat the Back To School chaos with a great offer on our Classic Super Value Kit. The kit includes 9 Large Name Labels, 20 Shoe Labels (10 pairs), 100 Mini Pencil Labels, 100 Mini Clothing Labels and 1 classic Bag Tag. Label your child's lunchbox, school uniform, school shoes, backpack, stationery, technology and more. Visit the website, enter your child's details, choose a font and a design icon then enter the code MOJO10 to get £10 off our Classic Super Value Kit.

Probate & Trust Administration
What you need to know...
We come into this world easily, yet we do not often leave as easily. Most of the time, we leave behind friends or loved ones who are uncertain as to how they should proceed in handling your last expenses, submitting beneficiary claims, and administering your estate. In these circumstances, it is very important to consult an attorney experienced in probate and trust administration so as to obtain the most comprehensive advice and guidance as possible. If you plan in advance, the persons or entities you select will pay your final bills and distribute your assets to the beneficiaries you choose using powers granted to them in a legal document such as a will or a trust. This, in and of itself, is a gift.
Probate is a statutorily designed process to ensure that all your creditors are paid and all assets pass to your designated beneficiaries upon your death. Probate may be necessary when anyone dies with assets in their sole name, whether they either have a will or not. There are numerous reasons that avoiding probate may be desireable: (1) your will and all of your assets and debts become a matter of public record; (2) unless everything you own goes through probate, your planning may be "imperfect"; (3) probate is time-consuming and can be lengthy; and (4) probate can be expensive. There are many techniques that may be instituted to avoid probate such as owning assets jointly with others, naming beneficiaries on all insurance policies, IRA's 401Ks, 403Bs, and annuities, putting transfer-on-death designations on all assets, or putting your assets in a trust.
Your Last Will and Testament will be filed with the probate court in the county in which you resided at the time of your death, and should be filed within one year after the date of your death. Filing a will does not create a probate in Missouri; yet if an individual passes away with assets in his or her sole name, and without any beneficiary designations, a probate will need to be opened to determine the individual(s) to whom those assets will be distributed pursuant to the individual's Last Will and Testament or as designated by to the intestate succession laws of the State of Missouri if no Last Will and Testament is admitted to probate within the one year time frame.
It is especially important to check with your legal and/or tax advisor(s) prior to submitting any beneficiary claim forms for qualified plan assets such as 401Ks and/or IRAs. The benefits of proceeding with any particular course of action with respect to such assets can only be determined at the time of death as it is impossible to predict with absolute certainty: (1) what the applicable tax laws will be at the time; (2) what the total value of the deceased individual's taxable estate will be; and/or (3) which family members and/or beneficiaries will survive the plan participant (and what any surviving individual's personal estate and/or income tax situation will be at the time).
Investing in a trust-based estate plan often yields the most benefits during life and after death, so long as such a plan is suited to your circumstances and facilitates the achievement of your goals. A revocable living trust, for instance, is like a bucket that holds all of your assets during life. Upon your death, all the assets in the bucket will be poured out to the people or entities you designate after the payment of your final bills and expenses. Seeking the advice and guidance of an attorney experienced in trust administration is very important as such an individual will be able to facilitate and guide your family through the process whether you have a trust-based estate plan or a will-based estate plan.
The attorneys at Legacy Legal Group are not only experienced in the areas of probate and trust administration, they also understand that you or your family has suffered a loss and will guide you through an otherwise unfamiliar and often confusing process. Contact us today for assistance in seeing your loved ones' affairs resolved and their final wishes fulfilled.

Lawrence Lessig – Director, Edward J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics, and Professor of Law , Harvard University
A suitably entertaining and informed presentation about the inadequacies of current copyright law in relation to education and science in front of a sizeable audience in the huge Wells Fargo theatre. Lessig highlighted the need for a better model of copyright in and the responsibility that sits with the community to question and demand change. It was perhaps not surprisingly a strong call for open access and peer review to deal with the problems of ever increasingly expensive and prohibitive copyright around publications and scholarly communications and of course the promotion of the Creative Commons models.
It was an extraordinary presentation; emotional, logical and forward looking with exemplary use of Keynote contrasting with the welter of nasty Powerpoint presentations this show. A presentation that was met with a standing ovation.
The presentation can be seen here, but I suggest you fast forward to about 26 minutes to avoid the awards part (despite Nicole Harris being on stage as one of the Catalyst Award winners – well done her!)
