Although Michigan has been hard hit in other sectors, it ranked seventh among all states in the number of patents granted in 2008, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Linda Chamberlain, executive director of the West Michigan Science & Technology Initiative, a program that assists inventors and entrepreneurs, credits the state's research universities and major industries for the high number of patents. Michigan also has fifteen "SmartZones" where technology firms, entrepreneurs and researchers cluster and collaborate.
Geoff Horst and his colleagues at Algal Scientific Corp. are hard at work inventing a new source of biofuel in an East Lansing lab. Horst, the Michigan-based company's chief science officer and a doctoral candidate in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University, is testing combinations of algae species that suck up nutrients from wastewater and are then converted into biofuel.

Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu could never imagine that they had been under Zhang Tie's gaze since they escaped by Earth-River Vehicle; especially after they came out of the underground. Zhang Tie kept a close eye on them within 100,000 m.
In this process, Zhang Tie had a few opportunities to launch a strike; however, he didn't.
At the border of Dragon Emperor Big Domain, Zhang Tie had an opportunity to launch a strike. However, as it was not far from Dragon Emperor Big Domain, if he started a battle there, the two people might continue to escape by Earth-River Vehicle. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't do it...
When the two people used that airboat as their cover, Zhang Tie could also launch a strike; however, given the innocent lives on the airboat, Zhang Tie didn't do it either.
It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that the two people would hide themselves in Brokenstars Ocean. It was a Heaven-sent opportunity.
There were only mountains floating in the air of Brokenstars Ocean, large or small where Earth-River Vehicle became useless. Additionally, it was scarcely populated here. No matter what loud noise did he make, it could hardly be discovered or involved with innocent people. It was the ideal place for killing Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu.
Previously, Zhang Tie still doubted whether he would refine and absorb the fire chakras of the two people or not in Dragon Emperor City. At this moment, after knowing that the two people had killed dozens of immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for two golden secret items of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie didn't show any mercy to the two people anymore.
After sneaking to the side of the two people secretly, Zhang Tie launched his strike. Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu who were in cultivation discovered it the moment Zhang Tie moved. However, it was too late. His heavy weapons and the kinetic strike had arrived the moment the two people started to release their protective battle qi.
The physical strength of a semi-sage level knight was one more times greater than that of heavenly knights. However, no matter how irresistible are the bodies of semi-sage level knights, without the complete protection of protective battle qi, they were nothing but sh*t in front of Zhang Tie's heavy weapons and kinetic strike. At this moment, even if their bodies were made of iron, they would also be smashed into pieces.
The space of the mountain cave was relatively small. Additionally, the two people were justing sitting face-to-face beside the bonfire. This created a condition for Zhang Tie to kill them simultaneously.
A heavy hammer, a heavy mace and a deity-killing sword hit targets almost concurrently.
With a sound "pufff..." inside the cave, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were scattered into bloody ashes utterly the moment they opened their eyes out of shock...
The aftermath of Zhang Tie's strike heavily shocked the entire mountain at once while the hard ground, where Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were, became a 3-m deep pit. The strong and extremely constrained impact wave broke out of the mountain cave along the tunnels with high airflows. With a loud sound "bang", the airflows outside this mountain went berserk, breaking the clouds and fog apart at once.
The two people, who were discussing how to take revenge on Zhang Tie just now, instantly turned into ashes together with their conspiracies, dignity, wealth and dreams of dominating the entire Motian Realm.
Kill two birds with one stone. Zhang Tie then started to refine and absorb the two people's fire chakras crazily at the same time. Meanwhile, his huge hammer and huge mace disappeared and returned to his qi sea. Additionally, Zhang Tie caught the remains of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu by hands rapidly.
Each of them left three items, namely a space-teleportation finger ring, a silver secret weapon that they usually used and a golden secret item.
All of them became Zhang Tie's booties.
As Zhang Tie had too many space-teleportation finger rings and silver secret weapons, he just put them away. As for the two golden secret items, they made Zhang Tie drool at a stroke.
At this moment, the Heavenly-Separation Sword had not turned into its real form. It was just a 3 cm-long tiny golden sword. Levitating on Zhang Tie's left hand, it looked pretty restless as it intended to escape from Zhang Tie's hand. Being as small as Heavenly-Separation Sword, the Earth-River Vehicle was like a small spiral shell which kept rotating and struggling on his other hand and looked pretty cute.
Like silver secret items, golden secret items should also recognize their owners. Closely after Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were killed, their spiritual brands on the two golden secret items had disappeared. After losing their owners, the two golden secret items became restless, especially Heavenly-Separation Sword, which kept plunging forward on this side and dashing in on that.
However, now that Zhang Tie had already caught them, he would never let them escape. Watching the recalcitrant Heavenly-Separation Sword, Zhang Tie slightly released a bit qi of his swordsmanship. Closely after that, Heavenly-Separation Sword became still like being fixed. Then, it started to hum slightly as if it was pretty thrilled. Zhang Tie then let it go. Heavenly-Separation Sword then left his hand and started to fly around Zhang Tie rapidly like a cute puppy dog. Finally, it suddenly drilled into Zhang Tie's hair and stayed inside.
Zhang Tie smiled as two drops of blood dripped out of his palm. One drop entered the Earth-River Vehicle. Closely after that, the restless golden secret item became still like a wild horse being reined. The other blood drop flew towards the Heavenly-Separation Sword inside his hair. However, before the blood drop arrived at the top of his head, the Heavenly-Separation Sword had already flown out of his hair as it couldn't wait to absorb that blood drop.
When the two drops completely entered the two golden secret items, the two golden secret items instantly turned into the light without Zhang Tie's consent. Heavenly-Separation Sword then flew into Zhang Tie's mind sea, closely followed by Earth-River Vehicle. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Zhang Tie became shortly stunned. When the two items entered his mind sea, Zhang Tie received two messages respectively. Not until then did he know that golden secret items should be lubricated by their owner's spiritual energy in their owner's mind sea after recognizing their owner.
In Zhang Tie's mind sea, Heavenly-Separation Sword and Earth-River Vehicle dived into the lake at the foot of King-Kong Mountain as if they felt pretty happy...
Zhang Tie smiled as he didn't care about them anymore; instead, he kept absorbing the two fire chakras that he had locked using his shackle of chakra.
10 minutes later, after absorbing the two complete fire chakras, Zhang Tie felt full.
As this mining cave was not suitable for lighting his fire chakra, after taking a glance at this place, Zhang Tie turned around and intended to fly out of there.
Right then, an abrupt and strange voice sounded.
It sounded calm. However, Zhang Tie was greatly shocked by the contents of the sound.
"Everyone says that the No. 1 human assassin in Motian Realm was Ye Haoran the unrivaled killer who has disappeared in Mountain Ruines 400 years ago for Nine Heavenly Immortal Spring. In my opinion, if Ye Haoran saw how you killed Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, he might also feel ashamed. A person who came from another world could become the immortal emperor of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and the most terrifying killer in Motian Realm. That's interesting..."

I got a bluetooth dongle, put it in my pc and added the 2 headphones. Trouble is, when I connect to one, it disconnects the other! So only one of us can hear the movie! What do I do!!!! Do I need another dongle? What happens if I put 2 dongles in my PC, can the software handle it, or do I need a dongle from a different make, so different software used?

I'm currently working on decorating my master bedroom and I'm starting from scratch. The walls are a soothing light gray, and I wanted something fun to go with the walls. However, my husband vetoed lavender/plum as the accent color. Flat out forbade me. He wasn't loving several other options either (nothing girly would do). But when I proposed navy/orange he was okay with it. So I'm having fun planning a room around these colors.
And that's where this project came in. I knew I wanted a cute orange pillow sham, but when I was looking at home decor fabric, I wasn't finding the right shade and pattern for the project. Enter quilting cotton. It's the perfect fabric for what I was envisioning. Did you know that Jo-Ann Fabric and Pellon are sponsoring a Sew Your Style Contest this month? Well now you do! All you need to do to participate is create something non-traditional from quilting fabric (think purses, curtains, napkins, clothing, you name it!) and submit it here.
I often use quilting cotton for other purposes, so I was super excited when they asked me to participate and share a project. (Me? Seriously? Uh, yes please!)
Are you ready to make your pillow sham?
You'll need:
- Sewing machine and thread
- Quilting fabric
- Pom pom trim
- Hook-and-loop tape (Velcro)
- 3 buttons
- Sewing tools (scissors, needle, iron, etc.)
- Cut one back and two front pieces from your fabric (mine were 26″ x 16″, 26″ x 12″, and 26″ x 8″)
- On the back piece (26″ x 16″), pin and baste your pom pom trim around the edge. Set this piece aside.
- Hem one long edge of both your front pieces (26″ x 12″ and 26″ x 8″). If you're using a serger, you can finish the edge, then fold over and press a 1″ hem. If you're using a sewing machine, fold and press 1/4″ and then fold and press again another 1″ for both pieces.
- On the shorter front piece, sew the softer loopy side of your Velcro to the hemline.
- Now evenly space and sew three buttons to the front of the hemline for decoration.
- Line up both your front pieces on top of the back piece (just to see how much overlap you have). Align the hook side of your Velcro where it will meet up with the loop side, and sew it down.
- Now stick the Velcro pieces together and place your front pieces (stuck together) on top of your back piece with right sides together. You'll also want to make sure that all the pom poms are pushed to the inside. Now pin all the edges together, and sew.
- Turn your sham, press your seams, and insert your pillow form into your pillow sham!
The Velcro keeps the pillow sham together even after it's been used so you don't get gaps, which I personally hate. You can either put a partial strip or go the whole length. Either way, you get the finished look of buttons without the gaping (and you don't have to make buttonholes either!)

The Maize Kernel is a complex mixture of starch, protein, oil water, fiber vitamins and pigments all wrapped in a package. The cirn/ Maize wet milling process increases the nutritional and economic value of this package by separating it into homogenous fractions each having its specific identity and end use.
Functional Advantages
Maize Germ(HSNcode:23031000)
This is valuable by-product being rich in oil. It has a pleasant nutty taste when fresh but can quickly become rancid if not treated within a short time after milling. Its main value is in the oil which can be extracted or it can be used as animal feed without oil extraction. For economical oil extraction the germ should have maximum moisture content of 2-3% avoid formation of free fatty acids during storage. Whole germ with undamaged cells is less susceptible to formation of free fatty acid. A minimum fat content of 14% is also required. Germ should be dried to a maximum of 4%-5% moisture for lengthy storage. It is important that germ is cooled following drying and prior to binning. The oil yield drops with extended storage prior to the expellers. Pelletting is preferred as this stabilizes the fat and improves handling.
Maize Germ once passed through an expeller results in two major products, Maize oil and Maize oil cake ,the cake provides nutritive addition to cattle feed.
Maize Oil (HSN code:15152100)
Corn oil is oil extracted from the germ of corn (maize) Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes it a valuable frying oil. It is also a key ingredient in some margarine. One metric ton of corn contains 28 kg of corn oil (2.8% by weight) Refind corn oil is 99% triglyceride, with proportions of approximately 59% polyunsaturated fatty acid, 24% monounsaturated fatty acid, and 13% saturated fatty acid. Corn oil is also one source of biodiesel: it is expected to become a greater source of biodiesel and a backup source in case of large-scale. Other industrial uses for corn oil include soap salve, paint, rust proofing for metal surfaces, inks textiles, and insecticides. It is sometimes used as a carrier for drug molecules in pharmaceutical preparations.
Maize Coarse Bran
Maize Bran or Corn fibre is produced by corn wet-milling. Along with the corn fibres, portions of the protein, oil, and starch from corn are separated with the starch from corn are separated with the fibre stream. Corn fibre is composed of approximately 12-25% starch, 10-13% protein, 33-42% hemicelluloses 15-18% cellulose 3-6% oil, and 1-2% other components, a corn fibre stream coming from dewatering presses contains about 30 to about 50% solids. Rich in nutrients it forms a major ingredient for cattle feed. It has been know to help in increasing the milk yield. However due to concerns of commodity is made available corn fibre is being used as a feedstock for the manufacture of Ethanol.
Maize Fine Bran
This is a medium protein ingredient composed of the bran and fibrous portions. It may or may not contain the condensed corn extracives. It is produced in wet or dry form both. The dried Fine bran analyzes typically as 21% protein 2.5% fat, and 8%fibra. It is a perishable product in 6 10 days and must be fed or stored in an anaerobic environment. As Fine bran is high in certain key nutreitants is widely used in complete feeds dairy and beet cattle, poultry, swine and pet foods.

words // Brandon Richard
Earlier today, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard made history by becoming the first player to win the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award in three consecutive seasons. In a landslide vote, Howard received 114 out of a possible 120 votes. A season in which a lot of attention was focused on his improving offense, Howard continued to anchor a Top 5 Magic defense that is average at best without him.
While Derrick Rose is probably in line to win the MVP Award, and rightfully so, no one player was as single-handedly responsible for their team's success as Dwight was for Orlando this season. Despite inconsistent production from highly paid teammates, a huge mid-season roster shakeup and playing a healthy portion of the season without a legitimate backup, Dwight carried the Magic to another 50-win season and homecourt advantage in the playoffs. His 23 points and 14 rebounds per night were both career highs and he made his 5th NBA All-Star appearance back in February.
Though Dwight emerged as one of the game's stars in previous years, 2010-2011 marked the first season Dwight received an official signature shoe. In fact, he was given two of them. For the first half of the season, he wore the Beast Commander and teamed up with Dr. Ken Jeong aka Slim Chin for a hilarious and highly underrated "Fast Don't Lie" TV spot.
For the second half of the season, he wore what I think is by far his best adidas sneaker to date - the Superbeast. Supported with SprintSkin panels, the Superbeast also featured large 3-Stripe branding, visible ALIVE cushioning and double-stacked Z-Torsion in the foot. Thus far, four different colorways of the Superbeast have been released, including special make-ups for the All-Star Game and St. Patrick's Day.
We've already seen a preview of the shoe Dwight will wear next season, but before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's recap the best we've seen this year. Let us know what Dwight shoes what your favorite in the comment section below.
Click here to check out Top 5 lists for other top players as well.
5. adidas Superbeast - "All-Star"
Some speculate that Dwight Howard's next destination could be Los Angeles if things don't work out in Orlando when free agency hits next summer. While that remains to be seen, here's the type of thing adidas may have in store for him if he does indeed invade Hollywood. Inspired by the glamorous life of Tinseltown, this version of the Superbeast stripes away the SprintSkin supports on the side panels for tonal 3M reflective flash bulb graphics and platinum 3-Stripe branding. Dubbed the "Red Carpet Edition," the shoe lives up to its nickname with a red velvet footbed fit for a Hollywood premiere.
4. adidas Beast Commander - "World AIDS Day"
^Photoshop Alert^
Dwight isn't a guy that puts a lot of exclusive sneakers on the court, but this pair was an attention-grabber. Unlike Derrick Rose, Howard has no red colorways in his signature line. So, for world AIDS Day back in December, adidas hooked him up with this custom red colorway of his first half signature shoe, the Beast Commander. Ironically, the Magic played the Bulls in that game and handed them a 29-point loss, their worst of the season. A lot has changed since then.
3. adidas Superbeast - White/Bright Silver "Home"
Here's the Superbeast that Dwight has been rocking for Orlando's home games since right before the All-Star Break. This clean colorway features a white upper, light silver SprintSkin paneling and fading bright blue stripes. Finishing off the look below is everybody's favorite sneaker feature, an icy translucent outsole. Possibly being overlooked about the Superbeast collection is that they all feature different materials on the upper. While others opt for nubuck and patent leather, this colorway sports a build of textured white leather.
2. adidas Superbeast - "St. Patrick's Day"
In the past, I've been disappointed by the lack of special event/holiday releases from adidas Basketball, but they stepped it up in a pretty big way this year. On St. Patrick's Day, they released special green-based colorways for their signature athletes, including this Superbeast for Dwight. Instead of just making this a typical green St. Patrick's Day shoe, adidas linked the design to a huge part of Dwight's past. In his younger days, Dwight wore green when he hooped for the Atlanta Celtics, a prominent AAU Basketball program. Stitched on the backside of the tongues is the name Wallace Prather Jr., Dwight's AAU coach and mentor who passed away in 2005.
1. adidas Superbeast - Black/White/Bright Blue "Away"
The launch colorway of the Superbeast is perched at the top. In my estimation, this shoe is the single-best shoe Dwight has even been laced with. Part of what made these so great is the fact that Orlando introduced a black pinstripe alternate jersey that matched them perfectly. Black patent leather, large white fading 3-Stripes and bright blue detailing on the eyestay, mesh underlayer, visible cushioning windows and outsole make this shoe one of my top releases of the year.

The Female Carnival: Monsters, Madness, and Masquerade
This course examines the carnivalesque representations of women and femininity in American literature and culture: from crones, witches, and madwomen to monsters, drag queens, and the hottentot venus. Reading a selection of secondary sources (including Mary Russo's "The Female Grotesque," Mary Douglas's "Purity and Danger," Julia Kristeva "The Powers of Horror," Dennis Todd's "Imagining Monsters: Miscreations of the Self in Eighteenth-Century England," and Evelyn Ender's "Sexing the Mind: Nineteenth-Century Fictions of Hysteria," students will examine the idealogical constructions of and cultural anxiety over the female grotesque.
They will consider, moreover, the various taboos and technologies that reproduce these representations as well as corporeal and moral punishments to female "deviants," who stray from the cultural norms for female beauty and feminine decorum. Reading fiction (i.e. Hannah Foster's "The Coquette," Flannery O'Connor's "Everything that Rises Must Converge," Carson McCuller's "The Member of the Wedding," Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper"), viewing films ("Freaks," "Without You I'm Nothing," and "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert"), and examining photographs and paintings (Sander Gilman,"Picturing Health and Illness: Images of Identity and Difference"), students will analyze how these grotesque images of femininity perpetuate a notion of cultural "difference" based on sexuality, ethnicity, race, region, and religion. And they will test their own assumptions about the female grotesque with field trips to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum at the College of Physicians, and Eastern State Penitentiary.

Every 51 minutes, unusual person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for nearly one-third of all fatalities.
You can locate more drunk driving statistics on the Mothers next to Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the position of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns accomplish to educate American drivers approximately drunk driving? This article will pay for a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private amalgamation groups, advocating for widespread answer of something called buzzed driving. consequently what is it?
Buzzed driving is a certainly easy concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed quickly by the bloodstream and common tests, taking into account a breathalyzer, can statute the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving in imitation of a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or cutting edge is illegal in all state. At that concentration, drivers roughly speaking invariably experience sedation and slower greeting times. In further words, its conveniently risky to drive behind that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is helpfully having a BAC humiliate than 0.08% but forward-thinking than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont amend The artifice I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One explanation from UC San Diego that evaluated accident reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than temperate drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far and wide more risky than driving sober.
The real misfortune is that American produce a result and public policy tend to look upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. below that line and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a smash increases steadily and expertly from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no short transition in the manner of comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is safe in the complete analysis.
The tally from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal outrage Prevention. You can right of entry a summary here.
The Worlds Stance on Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a true limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances authentic limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia all have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized subsequently coarse fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds lonely regions to use 0.08% BAC as its real limit.
Has The raise a fuss Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public abet announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving watchfulness campaign. on their website, they balance that their ads reached nearly one half of every American adults more than the age of 21. And that there was a significant deposit in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned roughly the situation of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And while public preparedness is entirely important, Americas legislators have nevertheless to respond to our extra concurrence of buzzed driving. In fact, in the manner of most come clean governments focus on to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers under 21 or objective usefully that they wont tolerate any driver later a BAC on top of 0.08%.
Only get older will say whether or not disclose governments follow through upon the current research. incite in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas authenticated limit to 0.05%, but no disclose has nevertheless to direct this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another tribute has been to contextualize drunk driving, to clarify it in terms of choice tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol batter and abuse. The underlying premise to this disquiet is that some drunk drivers play-act vehicles while impaired because (in so many words) they cant assist it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might consent some impaired drivers off the road in the same gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In heritage when recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more credit than contrast in the midst of alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This pedigree of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a examination released by the National Institute upon Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested determined for drugs after that had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the pain is mixed. And the solution might be, too.

(1/4 makeup if needed)
Winter 2020 Sorting League Dates;
The concept of this league is that 4 different teams ride on every date listed for every time slot. Because of the time slots being 2 hours apart its impossible to maintain the schedule if we don't keep that concept, please remember that there are many other people affected. If your team needs to make changes find another team to switch with.
League Description
10:00 AM Novice Rider, Novice Horse 2 person sort
· Only one (1) Buckle Winner per team
· A rider can't have more than two (2) buckles in a Novice Division
· A horse can't have earnings in excess of $300
· Rider has never won money (excluding any draw pot earnings)
· A rider that has limited horsemanship skills and limited knowledge of cattle or the rider who has started to improve their skills. The rating considers the ability of the horse and money won on local, regional and national levels.
· In this league, you will not get a DQ for "Trash" (cattle out of order) but will be assessed a one head penalty for each cow out of order. However, a bonus point will be awarded with a clean run.
12:00 Intermediate, 2 person sort
· A rider that has reasonable or good horsemanship and cattle reading skills. He/She places occasionally in Open, Mixed and Pro/AM Novice classes with Open riders. The rating also considers the ability of the horse and money won in local, regional and national levels.
2:00 PM Mixed, 2 person sort
2 Open riders, 1 Intermediate rider, 2 Novice riders.
4:00 PM Open, 2 person sort
· Any Rider – No Restrictions
The Intermediate, Mixed Leagues, Teams will receive bonus head as follows; Fastest time of the day, per time slot will receive an bonus 5 head, second fastest 4 head, third fastest 3 head, forth fastest 2 head, fifth fastest 1 head. These bonus head will be added to the teams total head count for that day. So the max head count for a team per date is 115 vs 100.
Payback for Open League (based on 7 teams) as follows;
1st place $260.00 /person
2nd place $175.00 /person
1. Five (5) person teams – two (2) person sort. Every team will ride ten (10) times and every rider will ride four (4) times; with all combinations within the team. All teams need to consist of 5 riders total, we will no longer accept 4 person teams.
2. Rudeness will not be tolerated, either to ranch personnel or to livestock (aka "ROUGHING").
3. Sixty (60) second clock
4. Cattle will be numbered 0 - 9.
5. You will start with the starting number and continue in numerical order. Example – the judge calls number "8", you must first sort out number "8", then "9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7".
6. The cow must completely cross the foul line within the legal time of Sixty (60) seconds to count as a "sorted" cow.
7. If any cattle cross the foul line out of sequence (except for the Novice Division), the team will be judged "No Time". A "No Time" will also be called if a sorted cow comes back and crosses the line (except for the Novice Division).
8. You will continue to sort until all cattle are sorted or until time expires.
9. You will stop sorting if judged a "No Time" (except for the Novice Division).
10. Teams are judged on the number of cattle sorted and total seconds/time.
Highview Ranch & Stable has the final determination on rider qualification and judgments.
Substitute riders are drawn from a pool of riders who volunteer to be substitutes, or are designated as substitutes when the team signs up. Subs can only ride like classes, i.e. novice for a novice, intermediate for an intermediate or open for an open. (Subs MUST be in the present league). Or as previously stated riders can move up, but not down.
Must change 2 riders for another team.
General Rules
Once a run is finished, riders from the team that completed that run, shall be responsible to regroup and settle the cattle for the next team to run. Cattle shall be settled in the center of the back wall of the pen. Cattle settlers will remain with the cattle until the judge dismisses them. When dismissed, leave the pen in an expeditious manner, riding around the team about to enter the pen, and not through the middle of the team.
When the announcer says "flag is up" the team will enter the pen, time will start and the number of the calf to be sorted first will be announced. A lap timer will be used to time each calf that crosses the start/foul line in its entirety. The whole calf must cross the start/foul line to be counted. Once the calf is counted, if it returns to the pen it will result in a DQ.
No profanity to be used during or after runs.
No spotting cattle from spectators or fellow team members not on the team running.
When your team is announced to run, be in the arena and ready to run, excessive delays will result in a DQ.
Each event will start promptly at scheduled times, any riders not ready to ride will result in a DQ.
Contact with the cattle with hands, feet, hats, ropes, bats, reins, or any other equipment, or hazing with whips, hats, or ropes will result in a DQ. Any unnecessary roughness to horses or cattle or unsportsmanlike conduct will result in a DQ. If a rider falls off their horse, they may not work the cattle from the ground, they may remount and continue working the cattle. Any attempt to work cattle before remounting will result in a DQ. DQ of a team member results in the DQ of the entire team.
Judges rule is final, excessive arguing will result in a DQ
1/4, 1/18, 2/15, 2/29, 3/14, 4/4,

[Solved] Recording podcast direct to file
I just bought and am running Rogue Ameba's podcasting suite of apps. When recording, is it advisable to specify which application to use, either with the application node output or in the system preferences?
In the basic setup, there seems to be a specific record to MP3 node even though I haven't specified a recording app in the preferences. It has a nice button to split the recording during live recording. My objective is to have the ability to break up the podcast by chapters during live recording. Is this the only way, but creating chapter files and then assembling in Fission in post? From my video editing use, I would prefer one long file with chapter markers/timecodes. In post, I would drop images at each tag as Fission lists as one of its features the ability to have pictures for chapter markers. How do other podcasters do chaptering?
The method you describe would certainly work just fine, and gives you the freedom to edit as you see fit.
I use Keyboard Maestro to log chapter timestamps to a file, and then import that into Auphonic when I'm finished. I wrote it up at https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/podcasters-chapters-timestamps-keyboard-maestro/ for anyone who wants to follow along.
Big shout out to Rogue Amoeba! I returned to my audio project to learn that Loopback had a paid update. Having just bought it I was temporarily miffed until a search of my emails for the receipt turned up a message I had missed informing me of my free upgrade. Terrific software and terrific support. Thanks for the awesome Cool Stuff!

Structured data is a tool that search engines use to better understand and get easier access to information on a website. Google, in particular, uses structured data to enhance search results pages, and other search engines follow suit to a lesser degree. Google also uses this information in Android search and location based notifications for mobile users.
This article is a technical one. It starts by going deeper in to structured data and what it is for, then it gets in to the technical details of how to implement various structured data techniques on a website so that search engines can pick it up. If you start glazing over, it is time to move to the next article 🙂 Just know that when you work with a company like AssetLab or when you're ready to dig in to this level of detail... it's here.
An Overview
In 2011 the largest of the big when it comes to Internet indexing Google, Bing, Yahoo! and Yandex got together to standardize Structured Data and create list of attributes, entries and entities which they agreed to support and is known as Schema.org ever since. Even though it has been around for quite some time, not a lot of marketers and SEO experts have decided to implement it. There is not a lot of clarity on some crucial information about Structured Data and this has kept experts wondering how, when and why Structured Data is important for themselves and their clients. A survey organized by Microsoft's Bing showed that only 17% of the marketers are using Structured Data for their websites and clients.
What is Structured Data?
As the name implies it is indeed creating a structure and its intention is organizational. If you check the data on your website and try to go through it fast, you will end up being confused not knowing which data is trully important. People might be able to understand structure by just leaving empty spaces, lines, capitalization of letters, creating of paragraphs and images, but computers need an indicator.
This is where Structured Data is intended to be very helpful of course for different purposes not generally. For example: cooking recipes can be displayed as cards on Google, Bing, Yahoo! or Yandex and it will look natural and important to the person searching for that recipe. Structured Data is created to indicate which data is important enough and should take a part of the SERPs.
Cooking and Recipe industries are not the only ones affected. Rich Snippets, Cards, Bio boxes etc. can be implemented by websites from a long range of industries having different but very specific purpose.
Is Structured Data the way you should go?
In general everything that can be done to improve your SEO is the way you should go and it's worthwhile for most people that have the time, the resources and the knowledge to implement it. However sometimes marketers wonder if it's worth prioritizing. If any of the following cases are true for your website then implementing Schema.org Structured Data is very important for you.
Here are some of the cases where Structured Data would have the biggest impact:
- Search is a key value-driving channel for your business
- You've recently audited your site for basic optimization issues and you know that you've achieved a competitive baseline with your keyword targeting, backlinks profile, site structure, and technical setup
- You're in a competitive vertical and need your results to stand out in the SERPs
- You want to use AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) as a way to show up in featured areas of the SERP, including carousels
- You have a lot of article-style content related to key head terms (e.g. 10 chicken recipes) and you'd like a way to display multiple results for those terms in the SERP
- You're ranking fairly well (position 15 or higher) already for terms with significant search volume (5000–50,000 searches/month)*
- You have solid development resources with availability on staff and can implement with minimal time and financial investment
- You're in any of the following verticals: e-commerce, publishing, educational products, events/ticketing, creative production, TV/movie/book reviews, job listings, local business
How to implement Schema.org Data Structure?
Schema.org instances are structured with different types of data, Recipe, Product, Article, Person, Organization, etc, that represent different entities or content types.
Each entity has its own properties which represents the identifying indicator for the attributes of that entity or content type. For example, a "Recipe" Type includes properties like "image," "cookTime," "nutritionInformation," etc. If you mark up a recipe on your site using those properties, Google will be able to read them and display those details visually in the SERP, like so:
When you want to mark your content using Schema.org vocabulary, you'll need to define the specific properties for the Type you're indicating.
If you're marking up a recipe page, you need to include the title and at least two other attributes. These could be properties like:
- aggregateRating: The averaged star rating of the recipe by your users
- author: The person who created the recipe
- prepTime: The length of time required to prepare the dish for cooking
- cookTime: The length of time required to cook the dish
- datePublished: Date of the article's publication
- image: An image of the dish
- nutritionInformation: Number of calories in the dish
- review: A review of the dish
- ...and more.
Each Type has different "required" properties in order to work correctly, as well as additional properties you can include if relevant. (You can view a full list of the Recipe properties at Schema.org/Recipe, or check out Google's overview of Recipe markup.)
Next step after knowing your types, properties and attributes you can start generating your code.
Code: Microdata vs JSON-LD
There are two common approaches to adding Schema.org markup to your pages: Microdata (in-line annotations added directly to the relevant HTML) and JSON-LD (which uses a Javascript script tag to insert the markup into the head of the page).
JSON-LD is the recommended approach by Google, and it is generally cleaner, simpler to implement... but it is worth noting that Bing does not yet officially support JSON-LD. Also, if you have a WordPress site, you may be able to use a plugin (although be aware that not all of WordPress' plugins work they way they're supposed to, so it's especially important to choose one with good reviews, and test thoroughly after implementation).
Whatever option you choose to use, always test your implementation to make sure Google is seeing it show up correctly.
What does this code look like?
Let's look at an example of marking up a very simple news article (Schema.org/NewsArticle).
Here's the article content (excluding body copy), with my notes about what each element is:
[posted by publisher 'Google'] [headline]Article Headline [author byline]By John Doe [date published] Feb 5, 2015 [description] A most wonderful article [image] [company logo]
And here's the basic HTML version of that article:

Article headline

By John Doe

If you use Microdata, you'll nest your content inside the relevant meta tags for each piece of data. For this article example, your Microdata code might look like this (within the  of the page):

 <meta itemscope itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" itemType="https://schema.org/WebPage" itemid="https://google.com/article"/>
Article headline

 By John Doe
 A most wonderful article
  <meta itemprop="url" content="https://google.com/thumbnail1.jpg"> <meta itemprop="width" content="800"> <meta itemprop="height" content="800">

  <meta itemprop="url" content="https://google.com/logo.jpg"> <meta itemprop="width" content="600"> <meta itemprop="height" content="60">
 <meta itemprop="name" content="Google">
 <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2015-02-05T08:00:00+08:00"/> <meta itemprop="dateModified" content="2015-02-05T09:20:00+08:00"/>

The JSON-LD version would usually be added to the  of the page, rather than integrated with the  content (although adding it in the  is still valid).
JSON-LD code for this same article would look like this:

This is the general style for Microdata and JSON-LD code (for Schema.org/Article). The Schema.org website has a full list of every supported Type and its Properties, and Google has created "feature guides" with example code for the most common structured data use cases, which you can use as a reference for your own code.

- This event has passed.
May 24, 2018$10.00
This small volcano atop the Shivwits Plateau offers a great panorama of the Arizona Strip. You can see other mountain ranges in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah as well. This mountain is named in honor of Frederick Dellenbaugh who served as artist and assistant topographer on Major John Wesley Powell's second river expedition through the Grand Canyon in 1871-72. On Powell's first exploration in August of 1869, three of his party abandoned the expedition and hiked North through Separation Canyon onto the Shivwits Plateau. Brothers Oramel and Seneca Howland and William Dunn were never heard from again and were killed before reaching Mormon settlements. William Dunn's inscription is located on the summit of Mt. Dellenbaugh.

Since there's a snow storm occurring outside (named "Nemo" for reasons unknown to me. I assume it's after the fish, but that makes it more confusing, so instead I'll pretend it was named after my friend Emily's cat Nemo, who is the HBIC at her house) and my work canceled for later, this would really seem like an awesome opportunity to get some great blogging time in. Alas, I have nothing to write about. I think it's because it's only 12:17 and I've only been awake a little over an hour, so I'm not stir-crazy enough yet to write anything. But, maybe I'll keep you posted as the day/weekend goes on, depending on how snow-bound I am inside of my house. I'm hoping that this weekend plays out like "The Shining" and one of my family members decides to kill all of the rest of my family members and we play in a giant maze together. Oh, sorry, they weren't playing in that maze in the end? They were running away from an axe murderer? Well, that could be fun, too. Hopefully it's me who goes insane, I'm already more than halfway there and I would love to freeze to death like Jack Nicholson (SORRY FOR THE SPOILER), I heard that freezing to the death is the most peaceful way to go. Or it's the worst way to go. I need to do some research.*
Maybe I'll just write about "The Shining" for a little bit because that movie is sickening (I'm using "sickening" in the drag queen slang sense here, meaning amazing [amyahzing] and excessively hot). Shelley Duvall might be one of the most unfortunate looking women I've ever seen, I'd probably want to kill her if I was stuck in a house with her, too. That sounds cruel, let me rephrase that. I wouldn't want to kill her because she's ugly, I'd want to kill her because she's annoying as fuck. Like have you heard her voice? You should probably listen to it. That's enough to drive any man to drink, and then, yes, eventually to murder. Five G's: Good God. Get a grip, girl.
I think everyone's favorite part of "The Shining" is when that guy is getting a BJ from that man in a bear suit. That literally could not make less sense, but it's one of the top scenes I think everyone remembers. Also, that's when Dick is murdered (SORRY FOR THE SPOILER AGAIN) and that's just sad because he's the one person willing to help this family and he also just drove a really long time in the snow, which I know from firsthand experience is no fun. Driving is the worst, but driving in the snow?! That's really the pits. Poor guy made it all the way to the hotel, only to get distracted by a bear giving some guy a BJ and then gets axed in the stomach. Just unfair.
Another memorable scene is when Jack Nicholson macks that lady in the bathtub, but she turns out to be really old. I will not be putting up a screen cap of that, it is too gross. Not because she is old, but because her skin is like peeling off, and that really grosses me out. Instead, I'll use this space to say that Danny's possessed finger is my favorite character in the whole movie. He has the best lines and the best voice. I really think that him and Jack could have had a great friendship if given the chance. They could have done a buddy cop movie, or solved crimes together. Two deranged maniacs, ready to cause havoc in the big city: one's a man, and one's a finger, not belonging to that man. I smell a sequel!
So there's just some thoughts about "The Shining". They were very insightful and analytical. This was in no way a waste of a post or of anyone's time. God, am I lucky that no one reads this. I'd have to feel bad about wasting people time and I'd owe them back a few minutes of their lives. Instead, I just get to waste my own time and prolong my procrastination time before working out. Really, the only person I'm hurting here is me. And I take full responsibility for that.
In any case, I hope to look like this before the weekend is over.
Wish me luck!
*That freezing to death line was taken from the new Looney Toons adventures, which I suggest everyone watches because they're hysterical. Daffy is the true star on that show.

Jess was a Canadian masters student at the University of Hohenheim, and has completed her master's degree in agriculture in the tropics and subtropics. Currently, she lives in Stuttgart far from her home, Ontario, Canada where she fell in love with the "warm" weather.
Her interest in agriculture started really early, with her growing up on a farm in Lindsay, Ontario. And after completing her bachelor's degree in environmental science, paired with a passion for helping others and interest in rural development, she knew what she wanted to do: sustainable tropical agriculture. She is currently searching for opportunities post-MSc and is super excited for the future.
This year Jess is both the editor of the Tropentag 2019 team and the team captain. This last comes naturally for her, since she already has experience from her last year, and is looking forward to collaborating with a new, diverse and fun group of people to promote Tropentag to the world.

Self-help for lower back pain sufferers
If you suffer from lower back pain, you are certainly not alone. Lower back pain is classed as a musculoskeletal disorder and as such is one of the major reasons for absenteeism from work.
A musculoskeletal disorder may affect your:
- lower limbs
- your arms or neck and
- your back
In the year between 2016 and 2017, the Health and Safety (HSE) figures show that 507,000 workers suffered from such disorders, and a staggering 8.9 million working days were lost because of these disorders.
In the same period, there were
- 84,000 people affected by lower limb disorders, amounting to 17% of the total
- 194,000 workers affected by back pain 38 % of the total and
- 229,000 with problems with their arms and necks (45%).
The sectors with highest rates of musculoskeletal disorders in the UK are: –
- construction
- agriculture, forestry and fishing
- transportation and storage
- human health and social work
Other industries also report problems with their workers, but the above account for the most workers reporting such problems.
Doctors and lower back pain
If you go to your doctor because of lower back pain, you can expect him or her to give you a sick note and some painkilling medication. If the doctor does not prescribe painkillers, there are many over-the-counter choices. However, an addiction to painkillers will only exacerbate your health problems.
In extreme cases when you have been repeatedly suffering from lower back pain your doctor might suggest surgery. There are several operations you could have, such as
- microdiscectomy for treating herniated discs which can cause back pain and sciatica
- laminectomy which takes out a layer of tissue or bone which is pressing on nerves or their roots
How to deal with lower back pain at home and at work
If you have a sedentary job, you should get up and walk around at regular (frequent) intervals. When you sit you are putting pressure on your discs. A back chair support can help alleviate this. You could choose to wear a lumbar support belt which would also help.
- You can also do bending and stretching exercises to strengthen the muscles in your lower back. Exercising regularly can help enormously.
- Yoga is also beneficial.
- A qualified chiropractor or osteopath can also help you. Massage is good for the back.
- You could choose from a variety of our products at spinalbackrack, all designed by Harley Street doctors who specialise in treating back problems.

TaxAssist Accountants continues its rise up AccountancyAge's annual Top 50 rankings, by reaching position 21.
One of the reasons behind TaxAssist Accountants' progress was its 13 per cent increase in revenue since the last survey: an increase that was heavily driven by a network that has generated £33.65m in income so far this year.
This bucks the trend of one-fifth of accountancy practices on the list who actually either saw their fee income fall, or grow by less than five per cent.
As a whole, the Top 50 firms saw their fee income go up to £12.8bn, nearly £1bn more than the £11.9bn reported last year.
Sarah Robertson, Group Operations Director at TaxAssist Accountants, said: "We are delighted to have risen three places in the survey and that our business model has helped our network to provide accountancy services to increasing numbers of small business clients.
"We have been following the Government's Making Tax Digital plans with great interest to ensure TaxAssist Accountants remains at the forefront of the industry. This has included the launch of strategic partnerships with the latest cloud technology, so that keeping their accounts organised has never been easier for our network's 63,000 clients."
TaxAssist Accountants continues to expand its network of shops and offices in order to deliver a further reach of accountancy services to the UK's owner managed businesses.
It continues its drive to attract more accounting professionals to become part of its success story.
Regular Discovery Days for anyone interested in opening their own accountancy practice are offered in order to better understand what the next steps are.

Are you looking for ways to avoid radiation from mobile phones? Well, here you can opt out of the mobile radiation and health debate. Our BlocSock anti-radiation mobile phone case reduces SAR by 96% but also protects from the electromagnetic field. It contains a unique shielding system that reduces all the radiation emissions from mobile phones that could be to blame for mobile phones being categorized as a Group 2B carcinogen by the World Health Organization. This is the key: since nobody is yet sure why there is an increased risk of brain tumours from mobile phone electromagnetic radiation, then any EMF emitted by a mobile phone should be shielded whilst retaining call quality. That in essence is what the BlocSock does!
An early testimony:
I don't know why, but I recently had a concern about the fact I keep my smartphone in my pocket for a good part of the day. Was this a "smart" idea, or was there a potential problem with phone radiation? To address this concern, I searched for answers on the Internet. There were a lot of contraptions, many of which seemed to be too good to be true. The one that looked the most promising was Blocsock, not cheap at $24 for the high-end model with the pouch, but it did say it blocked 96% of the cell phone radiation from your body by having special radiation-blocking material on one side, with the side facing away from your body regular material so the phone could still communicate with the outside world. Cheap eBay knockoffs had material on both sides, meaning when you put your phone in them, your phone could't communicate with the outside world! Others did not have the testing results that assured how well the blocking material worked.
I read the very detailed SAR test report validating the Blocsock, which I found on this site.
I also searched around to see if cell phone radiation was anything to worry about anyway. I turned up enough information from a lot of different credible sources to convince me it was worth protecting against the possible damaging effects of this radiation. IF there is no real health impact, then having a protective device would be overkill, but I figured better overkill than discover in time people started developing problems as a result of heavy cell phone use.
The Blocsock came quickly, ordered from the UK which was sent Royal Air Express at no extra cost, and fit my Motorola Triumph perfectly.
They sell different sized Blocsocks in different colors, so if you order one, make sure it fits your phone. The Amazon vendor based in the UK, Cell Phone Radiation [now EMF Protection], was very helpful, answering my email promptly so I knew what model to order for my phone.
I noticed the Blocsock hardly added any bulk to my phone, and fit comfortably in my pocket. I have a Rocketfish RF-MTVT2SP protective gel case and thankfully the phone fits the Blocsock without having to take off this case. The Blocsock is very easy to use, and is quick and easy to take out and answer the phone. Again, if you get one, make sure the size you order is right and not too tight or loose. The pouch on the Blocsock is handy when using the phone to call people so the phone can be placed in the pouch between the Blocsock and me, protecting my head from radiation while still enabling people to clearly hear me and vice versa.
I liked the way Blocsock implemented this protection and the quality of the product construction, combined with the validated test results, so I recently ordered ones for the rest of my family. I think Blocsock is the BMW-class of what I could find for products that protect against cell phone radiation.
I'm glad I spent the money to get this protection. Again, I consider this an "insurance policy" and hope cell phone radiation is over hyped. However, mounting evidence seems to indicate otherwise, so I feel more comfortable knowing I'm taking proactive steps to protect against a possible health problem I and my family might face in the future from long and close exposure to cell phones close to the body and head.
Size 16cm x 8cm
Of course. We offer 'no-quibble' returns for 30 days. Simply contact us to begin the returns process
Yes. All BlocSocks come with a one-year warranty. This does not cover against accidental damage.

Excellent product , well made and does the job
A very good product. I like that I can sheild my head while using the phone, kangaroo pocket works well. I thought it might muffle the sound but it is absolutely fine. Only gripe is that I measured my phone before ordering but this is still an extremely tight fit and have great difficulty getting the phone in and out of it, which is a real pain for answering the phone when it rings.

I went through a time after I left the corporate world where I wouldn't say "I'm a human resources person" or even "I used to be an HR person." For one thing, I didn't want to get dumped into a very fixed, rivets-on-the-corners mental box for the new person I was meeting, like "Oh. Here's an HR person." For another thing, I had drunk enough of the corporate Kool-Aid by then that my thought process was, "It's not as though I'm working in an HR capacity now. I can't very well say 'I'm an HR person' unless I actually have an HR job and a business card with the words human resources on it, at that moment.'"
Ironically, a dozen years later I berate (lovingly) the job-seekers I know who say "Well, I was a CFO, but I'm not a CFO anymore. I'm job-hunting now" -- for their quickness in dropping a brand that they have every right to carry forth into their new adventure. They still have the years of experience they gained in their old jobs. They still have the stories, the talents, the instincts and know-how they accumulated over the years. It's strange how when we lose our jobs, we begin to believe that the company we used to work for has the ability, as they hand us a pink slip, to wipe away our credibility and professional credentials, too.
But in the conventional worldview on careers and job-hunting, that's exactly what happens. When you lose the job, you lose the brand "CFO" or "marketer" or "customer service agent." You're not working, so you aren't any of those things. (I guess that means you're nothing.) You lose your mojo, because you've begun to think without being aware of it, "This job is me. This is my calling card. My self-esteem comes from here."
When I was leaving U.S. Robotics a few days after the company was purchased some years ago, my friend and administrative partner-in-crime, Amy, and I walked down the hallway together, on my last day of work. Amy pushed an office chair on wheels, laden with company-logo swag, next to me while I carried a box full of memorabilia out to my car. Amy and I had had fun together. It was a wistful moment. We didn't speak for a second. Finally Amy said "I've got it! It just hit me, who I feel like. I feel like Susan Sarandon in Dead Man Walking.
I'm still an HR person, but I'm on the outside of it now and so people say "You don't understand what it's like, now." There wasn't any question, over the 20 years I led start-up and corporate HR groups, what the job of an HR chief was about. The job was to get the people on the field excited about the game, and keep them that way. The job was to figure out how to make sure that great people got hired and that they got what they needed once they came on board -- from information about how to do the job to feedback on what people were doing elsewhere in the company to proper tools and training and ethical and competent leaders. Like most assignments, running an HR shop is an easier thing to explain than to do, because the minute-to-minute issues and conversations and priorities can be subtle and interwoven with one another and laden with cultural and political and philosophical weight, apart from the straight-up business issues. But at least's it's simple to explain:
An HR person's job is to create a vibrant, human culture in a place where people work. That's the job. It's a right-brained job, no matter what anyone tells you. An HR job is a cultural job. The HR chief in any organization is the minister of culture, but in order to do that job, we have to believe that there is culture and that it matters. Policies and guidelines will not get us there. Forms and processes won't, either.
Bureaucratic policies and forms, in fact, are exactly the things that will drive away what we HR people need to be cultivating: energy and clarity of purpose and cohesion and what we used to call "morale." The job of an HR leader, and every HR person, is to make sure there's pixie dust circulating all over your workplace, and I don't use that Tinkerbell word in order to suggest there's anything soft and fuzzy about the stuff. An HR leader's job is to staff the pixie dust machine, because the pixie dust is what makes the organization worth working for and what gives it life and energy. You could call it mojo, strength, good feeling, belief in the cause and the team. It doesn't matter what you call it. People who need pixie dust in a workplace won't work in a place that doesn't have it, or for people who don't see it and value it. Of course, these are the people who will have the best ideas, push the hardest for a marketplace victory, and generally live and breathe your business objectives. They'll do it when you let them participate and value what they bring you, which is pretty darned easy when you drop the command-and-control nonsense.
An HR leader's job is to remove the fear that keeps us (not just officious supervisors, but CEOs and their teams, maybe most of us) from letting the workplace be the human-powered place it wants to be.

Civitella in Val di Chiana, Arezzo
Historic villa for 5 with pool near Civitella in Val di Chiana
- Sleeps 5
- 4 bedrooms
- Private Pool
In the remnants of a watchtower that had seen six centuries of history unfold in the countryside south of Arezzo its present owners respectfully restored as much of it as authorities allowed and created a home that gives a family or group of friends the chance to learn what relaxed country living is all about. Sitting above their organic farm and surrounded by 43 hectares of olive groves and forestland, the tower overlooks the Trove valley and across to the medieval village of Civitella where the ruins of its ancient castle etch the skyline.
Being a witness to history is not always easy, as the tragic wartime story of Civitella testifies; yet the present panorama from the furnished pergola and infinity edged pool is the stuff of dreams. Lavender and rosemary edge the massive tower walls and the furnished terraces that surround them, and sunset reflected in quiet waters seems an evening doubly blessed....
Though there is an external staircase to the upper floor one spots from the drive in, the main entrances are either side of the ground floor, both leading into the main room running the width of the house and offering a sitting/dining room with sofas in front of an open fireplace and a dining table for 6. At one end of this room, separated by a partial divider, is a compact but complete kitchen with oak counters as well as the modern appliances one relies on.
A few steps down from the dining area is another small sitting area at the bottom of the internal staircase, off of which is a single bedroom with independent outdoor access and a small ensuite shower room. The open tread stairway leads to a landing and three bedrooms; the smallest has a French double bed that may best be used by a guest that likes to stretch his limbs and an ensuite shower room. The other two, which share a shower room, both have queen-sized beds and attractive country antiques.
There are several places outdoors to bring a cup of tea or a glass of wine or set up a family dinner; one can choose between the wrought iron table under the vine-draped pergola, a small table outside the kitchen door, or the newly converted upper floor of a hay barn that now sports a sofa, a large dining table and chandelier lighting. All have the view one is happy to look out upon, as does the fenced swimming pool on a yet higher level that is furnished with sunbeds and a shaded pergola.

αμαρτία is a noun. The verb is αμαρτάνω. In ancient Greek the meanings were:αμαρτάνω = αστοχώ (I miss the target)αμαρτία = αστοχία (miss, failure)
The meaning of the word αμαρτία changed with Christianity: it is the act of braking the law of god by humans.
Here is a very famous ancient Greek quote :"Το δις εξαμαρτείν ουκ ανδρός σοφού"
Meaning: Making the same mistake twice is not a behavior of a wise man (ie it is not smart to repeat your mistakes).
