The digital age is constantly evolving, and mobile platforms have opened up new ways for us to connect, from anywhere at any time. Mobile platforms are driving new levels of accessibility, allowing more and more people to tailor their work schedules to their liking. This has made us more attached to our devices—with information and our social circles constantly at our fingertips—but this has also made it harder for some people to detach from their work. I've already discussed how augmented reality will change how we work; add to that IoT and VR, and we are headed toward a brave new world.
We are heading toward an always-on, always-connected digital world; in fact, if we're not careful, the line between life and work might move beyond blurred and straight into the nonexistent. While this can be both a good and bad thing (being "always-on" can add a lot of extra stress), one area where the digital transformation is definitely a good impact, and a huge one, is in corporate hiring practices.
Rise of the generalist
Business rapidly changes course with the advents of new technology. Virtually every type of industry worldwide has transformed their business practices in the face of new breakthroughs in connectivity and how people work. Hiring practices have changed drastically as well, and a new type of talent is in high demand. I like to call them generalists.
While generalists may have had traditionally accepted roles in the workplace, there has been a huge shift in terms of what traits are desirable in the modern hiring process. Agile, adaptable, and quick-learning employees are crucial for businesses that want to adapt at the pace of the rest of the business world.
A good generalist will familiarize quickly with new tech and business models, while knowing where to find the best information available today. Sifting through the mind-boggling amount of available information today may seem like an impossible task for the person who doesn't know where to look, and that's where generalists come in. Human resource professionals want talent who know where to find what they need to adapt at the breakneck pace of change.
Embracing change in hiring practices
The white collar landscape is shifting rapidly with each new innovation in tech, and human resource professionals are changing up their tactics in terms of finding—and retaining—the best available talent. Some of the sweeping new concepts taking root in human resources include:
- Shifts toward contemporary business cultures. Digital talent is looking for fast-paced, rewarding work, and the flexibility to do it. The slightly old-fashioned concept of a full-time job with long-term security and big benefits packages are waning in popularity (and availability!). The independent contractors of today are looking for fun, agile work that gives them a sense of purpose.
- Expanding the scope of accepted business practices. Flexible schedules, work-from-home options—the traditional departmental approach to managing a company is falling by the wayside. Provide the tools for collaboration across all departments, and all types of talent will flourish.
- Maximizing the potential of new tech with the concepts they drive. Mobile connectivity has created several new concepts that are vital to businesses keeping pace with the shifting demands of the business world. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies add fluidity and agility to any workplace, and mobile devices will continue to shape how we do business.
- Reinforcing skills with intelligent behaviors. Embracing new trends of the digital age will only reach their full effectiveness when a collaborative culture is established. Cross-functional learning and creating spaces for motivated talent to make empowered decisions are vital to embracing new business concepts in the digital age.
- Leading through inspiration. Talent retention is easier for HR when they can inspire change. Collect feedback in engaging, personal ways, and encourage avenues for digital work to attract the best talent to your organization and keep them there—because they want to be there.
Mobility continues to drive the importance of connectivity and collaboration in the business world. Human resource professionals today need to fully appreciate the value of generalists who can shift gears as fast as technology. They must engage and adapt to the demands of an ever-changing business culture to successfully harness the talent of a new breed of workforce.

(United States/France/United Kingdom, 2003, 96 minutes, color, 35mm)
following film notes were prepared for the New York State Writers
Institute by Kevin Jack Hagopian, Senior Lecturer in Media Studies
at Pennsylvania State University:
Was it Paul Goodman who said, "The young are always beautiful and cruel?" They are in The Shape of Things. Evelyn (Rachel Weisz), the art terrorist, is a classic Neil LaBute character, beautiful, young, and filled with bile, an Aphrodite with a switchblade. She forms an unlikely partnership with the hapless student and part-time guard Adam (Paul Rudd), and joins his circle of friends, Jenny and Philip. Evelyn's love is like hate, passionate, bitter, and obsessive. Her quick temper burns like magnesium in a dark room. Adam is soon scorched. Jenny and Philip notice that he seems to be bursting out of his cocoon, metamorphosing before their eyes into a man both more buff and ballsy than before. The shy Adam recedes, and a striking and confident Adam emerges. But like other psychologically costly transformations (David Cronenberg's The Fly, everyone's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) Adams's is a Nietzchean makeover. He will lose more than he could ever hope to gain.
LaBute's films are uncompromising. For LaBute, the task of his films, often sardonic and darkly comic, is to be "socially observant and willing to be true to itself, true to its subject, rather than just worrying about how to get the audience to like it… when someone says, `Who do you find in the movie to be likable?,' I've never found it to be a requirement of writing that I have to provide people the audience would want to get a poster of, or would want to see a sequel to their story. I'd be hard-pressed to see who was so likable in The Godfather that people would want to see them again."
Along with Mike Leigh and David Mamet, LaBute is bringing back an affirmative, proud theatricalism to the movies. In sweeping long takes, withholding the parade of close-ups so beloved of directors who can't trust an actor's face to do its job, LaBute's most personal films, including In The Company of Men, Posession, and Your Friends and Neighbors, reconnect film with the art of the actor. In a dozen interviews, LaBute has loudly rejected the artifice of computer graphics and showy editing. The emotional intensity his portraits of loathing demand of actors like Rudd and Weisz, Gretchen Mol and Fred Weller, his ensemble from The Shape of Things, are special effects in themselves.

Muriel, 53, joined Bump Buddies three years ago. Born in Jamaica, Muriel came to the UK many years ago and lives in Hoxton with her two children.
"I found out about Bump Buddies when I got talking to someone from the project in Shoreditch Park at an outreach event. I thought it sounded interesting working with mums and it appealed to me the idea of getting to know more people locally.
When I had my first child, I didn't have family or friends here and it was hard. It was a struggle and it makes me sad if I think about that time. But when you've young children, you have to go on and look after them no matter what. You don't have time to be pitiful.
I understand what it's like for women who are in a similar situation, who are maybe newly arrived here and don't have people who can help.
I've worked with three pregnant women so far. I helped them with housing problems, directed one to the Food Bank, and helped with getting clothing and practical issues. Two of the women have had problems over their immigration status and were having to stay with friends through their pregnancies. The other one was living in a hostel room.
People can be very private. They don't want to be judged or for people to know their business. It can be hard to get the women to be open. So the most enjoyable thing is seeing the women become closer to me and starting to trust me so that I can help – that's been the most important thing.
One of the clients asked me to be her birth partner. There was no-one else supporting her, just me. It was exciting. I cut the cord and was the first one to hold the baby, a little girl. I felt really proud – both of her and me – and so happy that it was all OK in the end.
I've changed through doing this. Before I started I wasn't confident and found it hard to talk to people – I felt shy. But this has helped build my confidence, I feel like I can do anything now. I realise I'm a people person – that's why I especially enjoy doing the outreach work, meeting and interacting with new people, talking to them about Bump Buddies – I believe in it and that makes it very easy to talk about!"
Vanessa, 35, is from New Zealand and moved to London a few months after having her first child. She started volunteering as a Bump Buddy in 2012.
"Having kids changed my outlook in life. When I was pregnant with my daughter Lily I was living in New Zealand. I really thought I'd have the baby and then put her in daycare after six months or so and just go back to work. I hadn't realized how protective I'd feel and that I wouldn't be able to part.
After moving to London I had to learn how to integrate into the community, find baby groups I could go to and make friends. But I had no idea of how to integrate with a child. I just didn't appreciate how hard that would be, and that's part of the reason Bump Buddies appealed to me because I thought my experience of going through that integration might help others doing something similar. It takes a lot of confidence to walk into a room of new mums when you know nobody and may be new to the area - or country. Everything feels completely different.
I've befriended two women so far through Bump Buddies. Both have been women in my kind of situation with no extended family network around to help. In one case, the lady's mother had recently passed away and she was emotionally vulnerable.
After she had her baby I helped her with breastfeeding. We talked about how it's normal to have arguments with your partner– it's a stressful time – and also that it's OK to feel exhausted, that's totally normal too! She didn't have anyone telling her she was a good mum so that's what I tried to do – give her some acknowledgement and feedback so that she could start to build confidence in herself.
I'm helping a Polish lady currently. We talk about how she's doing, go to the midwife appointments and also plan to visit some children's centres. I usually take my son Jack along and sometimes we go to the park.
I really feel for the women I'm working with, but I am able to emotionally detach myself. At times it can be frustrating when I've taken time to work through an issue with them and they then don't take the steps we talked about. But I guess sometimes they just need to vent and air concerns without necessarily solving anything.
The most enjoyable part is seeing the positive change at the end of it all – seeing them become confident, happy mums rather than anxious, isolated and depressed.
I trained in social work and am now looking to go back into social services, working with families. It's been five years since I've worked – becoming a Bump Buddy has helped my confidence around applying for jobs. I've found the training and knowledge I've gained beneficial, and it's nice to be in a working environment with other like-minded individuals."

No. 8 Romain Grosjean at the 2017 Spanish Grand Prix (Credits: Haas F1 Team)
May 14, 2017
2017 Spanish Grand Prix (Round 5 of 20)
Haas F1 Team earned another point-paying result when driver Romain Grosjean finished 10th in the Spanish Grand Prix Sunday at Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya. It was nearly a double-points effort for the American outfit, as teammate Kevin Magnussen ran among the top-10 before a cut tire on the penultimate lap forced him to pit. He finished 14th.
Both drivers made the most of the start when the typical chaos of turn one unfolded. With Scuderia Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen and Red Bull's Max Verstappen making contact, along with Williams' Felipe Massa and McLaren's Fernando Alonso coming together, Haas F1 Team's drivers seized the opportunity.
Magnussen and Grosjean picked their way through the carnage to rise to eighth and 10th, respectively. After Magnussen left the grid in 11th and Grosjean in 14th, both drivers were suddenly in the top-10.
Joining them in the top-10 was Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz Jr., who twice mounted spirited charges on Magnussen – the first on lap four and the second on lap 10 – only for Magnussen to close the door each time.
Sainz remained sandwiched in ninth between eighth-place Magnussen and 10th-place Grosjean, even after Magnussen and Sainz pitted together on lap 13. Sainz made another attempt to get around Magnussen when he put his right-side tires in the grass as the duo came off the pit lane and onto the track. Again Magnussen remained out of reach.
With a new set of Pirelli P Zero Yellow soft tires on his Haas VF-17, Magnussen held steady and returned to eighth as pit stops cycled through, creating a two-second gap over Sainz by lap 26. Grosjean, meanwhile, was only a second behind Sainz in 10th after emulating Magnussen by pitting for used softs on lap 19.
The chance of a double-points finish began to unravel when the Virtual Safety Car (VSC) deployed on lap 33 for Stoffel Vandoorne's stricken McLaren in turn one. Magnussen's advantage over Sainz was gone and after making their final pit stops, Sainz emerged ahead of Magnussen. Grosjean pitted a lap later.
When the race went back to green on lap 37, Magnussen and Grosjean, each of whom were shod on new White medium tires, were 10th and 11th, respectively. Sauber driver Pascal Wehrlein, who was on a single-stop strategy, was the other driver ahead of the two Haas F1 Team pilots.
A rare mechanical problem sidelined the front-running Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas on lap 39, allowing Magnussen to climb to ninth and Grosjean to return to 10th.
However, Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat was rising, and he passed Grosjean for position on lap 43, dropping Grosjean out of the top-10. Then on lap 65 of the 66-lap race Kvyat made contact with Magnussen, cutting the left-rear tire on Magnussen's VF-17. Forced to the pits to make a quick change and finish the race, Magnussen dropped to 14th and Grosjean inherited 10th, picking up a single point.
Winning the Spanish Grand Prix was three-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton. It was the Mercedes driver's 55th career Formula One win, his second of the season and his second at Barcelona. Hamilton's margin of victory was 3.490 seconds over Scuderia Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel. The victory cut Vettel's lead in the championship standings to six points with still 15 races remaining.
Five rounds into the 20-race Formula One schedule, Haas F1 Team is eighth in the constructors' standings with nine points, five behind seventh-place Renault and four ahead of ninth-place Sauber. Grosjean is 12th in the driver standings and Magnussen is 14th.

Andy Murray, (born May 15, 1987, Glasgow, Scotland), Scottish tennis player who was one of the sport's premier players during the 2010s, winning three Grand Slam titles and two men's singles Olympic gold medals.
Though clearly blessed with an unusual talent from an early age—with speed, power, and a light touch—Murray often battled himself as much as his opponent on court. His childhood was scarred by tragedy in 1996 when a gunman shot 17 people at Dunblane (Scotland) Primary School, where he was a pupil. (Murray survived the massacre by hiding in a classroom and thereafter rarely talked about it.) Guided by his mother, a professional tennis coach, he left Scotland as a teenager to further his tennis education in Spain, where he learned to play on clay and to fend for himself.
Murray won his first significant title, the junior U.S. Open, in 2004, but his route to the top, like many of his matches, was not straightforward. Having cracked the top 10 in the world in April 2007 and the top 4 two years later, he could not break the stranglehold on the Grand Slam titles exerted by the "Big Three" players of the time—Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. Murray lost four Grand Slam finals between 2008 and 2012, often badly and sometimes ungraciously. At the start of 2012, he tapped former Czech star Ivan Lendl, an eight-time Grand Slam champion, to serve as his coach, and the partnership proved fruitful for Murray. The inscrutable Lendl, who had also lost his first four Grand Slam finals, taught Murray better self-control and self-reliance.
Murray's breakthrough came in August 2012 when he at last beat Federer on Wimbledon's centre court to win the men's singles gold medal at the London Olympic Games, a victory that erased his tearful defeat by the same opponent in the Wimbledon final on the same court the month before. Barely a month later, at the U.S. Open, he claimed his first Grand Slam title after a hard-fought final against Djokovic. In July 2013 Murray beat Djokovic in an unexpectedly one-sided Wimbledon final and became the first British winner of the men's singles title at that tournament since Fred Perry 77 years earlier. In June 2014 Murray replaced Lendl with Amélie Mauresmo—herself a winner of two Grand Slam tournaments during her playing days—becoming one of the few top-tier men's players in tennis history to hire a female coach. Murray won his second Wimbledon men's singles title in July 2016. At the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games the following month, he won another gold medal in men's singles tennis.

High School Sports
York Cougars defeat Gaffney
Friday night's game between York and Gaffney was played on the Cougars' field, but make no mistake, it was played in Indians' territory as the Cougars defeated their guests 38-13. In the first half alone, York got the ball on the Gaffney side of the field on six out of eight possessions. The Cougars were able to score on four of those six and effectively put the game away at the half with a 24-0 lead.
The way the game was won on the stop side of the ball was also more to defensive-minded head coach Bobby Carroll's liking.
"We got our nose bloodied last week and it would've been easy for 15-year-old kids to come out here and lay down but they didn't," Carroll said. "Coach Prince had the defense ready to play. A little discouraged by all the offensive penalties but a great job by our defense. Luc does that in practice all the time. We run a ton of screens at him and he picks them off. I think he's leading this team in interceptions. Real proud of Luc. He's not a big rah-rah guy, he leads by example."
Sixth-ranked York (7-1, 2-1) was coming off their first loss of the season last week to Northwestern after spending two weeks ranked number one in the state. The Indians had won two straight to start the Region 3-4A slate after starting the season 0-5.
Things got started on the wrong foot for the visitors on their first offensive play from scrimmage as the quarterback-tailback exchange was fumbled and senior linebacker Luc Greene recovered. The hosts capitalized on the very next play as quarterback Deshaw Andrews hit sophomore receiver Shandon Cobb with a 16-yard touchdown pass at the 10:20 mark.
Two possessions later for the Indians, Greene stepped in front of a third down screen pass for an interception that set York up at the Gaffney 32-yard line. Six plays later, Kyron Schrouder ran in from 5 yards out to put the Cougars up 14-0 with 3:22 left in the first quarter.
Two possessions and two Indian three-and-outs later, the home team set up shop at the Gaffney 42. York drove nine plays before Andrews hooked up with Schrouder for a 22-yard score and a 21-0 lead. The Indians got their initial first down on their next possession with 8:14 remaining in the first half, and that first down came by penalty. Gaffney had 41 total yards in the first half of play.
The Indians did not earn their initial first down from scrimmage until their second possession of the third quarter. Senior placekicker Buddy Anderson ended the first half with a 29-yard field goal as the clock hit triple zeroes for the 24-point halftime advantage. In the third, it was more of the same as the Cougars continued to live on the Indian side of the 50 yard line.
After the second of two consecutive muffed punts started a York drive at the Gaffney 32, it only took two plays for Andrews and Schrouder to hook up again for a 27-yard touchdown and a 31-0 lead.
Schrouder had two touchdowns through the air on the night and 127 yards receiving on eight catches. He also had five carries for 21 yards and a touchdown.
Andrews finished 25-for-39 for 287 yards passing and four touchdowns in total. The fourth came on a 2-yard keeper with 9:41 remaining in the game. Fittingly, the Indians' last gasp ended with Greene pulling in his second interception of the night with 24 seconds left. Of course, it was in Gaffney territory.
"This will boost us back up and give us more confidence," Greene said

As of tomorrow, former poet laureate Robert Pinsky undertakes the duties of the Washington Post Book World Poet's Choice columnist. His inaugural column presents for consideration the claims of "our national poets [Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson], both writing about poetry." Contrasting Dickinson with Whitman, Pinsky writes:
Dickinson takes what seems to be a different view of the poet, and of how poetry works across the generations. Her image is not the voice of a swooping hawk, but a lamp, even a part of a lamp. But her terrain, like Whitman's, expands to the largest proportions and her vision too extends into the future:
The Poets light but Lamps —
Themselves — go out —
The Wicks they stimulate —
If vital Light
Inhere as do the Suns —
Each Age a Lens
Disseminating their
Circumference —
Dickinson's "vital Light," like Whitman's "good health to you nevertheless," projects itself beyond mortality. You could argue that of the two she makes the grander claim: Whitman shakes his white locks at the runaway sun, whereas Dickinson imagines a genuine poem ("If vital Light") emulating the sun, with a radiant optical precision, infinitely enlarged. Both poets, in their radically different manners, declare that the poem endures on an immense scale — and yet lives on an intimate scale in the reader.

Baking soda for acne is one of the cheapest treatments you can use. Some people swear by it, preferring it over anything else. Baking sodas a great add-on treatment if you don't have the money to buy expensive extra products or more active cleansers. Adding some to your usual cleanser can give it an extra boost, with mild exfoliant and anti inflammatory properties it can help clean and calm your skin.
How to use Baking Soda for Acne Treatment:
Baking Soda with Cleanser
In the beginning the best way is to mix some baking soda into your normal cleanser, preferably a gentle product. This gives your skin a chance to get used to it and the results will be better. Add 1/2 a teaspoon to your cleanser and mix in your hands. Apply to face and massage gently for at least 30 seconds. Concentrate on oily, congested areas or any scars. Rinse off with plenty of cool water. Apply moisturizer straight away - this can be drying and may leave your skin feeling tight.
Baking soda Face Mask
Whether you experience it on a 'per pimple' basis, or your whole face becomes red and irritated, a baking soda mask is a good way to sooth it. Use this mask 2 - 4 times a week for best results. Cleanse and dry face with a gentle cleanser. Mix approx. 2 teaspoons of baking soda with enough water to form a wet paste - in your palm (most simple) or a cup. Leave on skin for at least 15mins - if it stings too much (a little is normal and a sign it's working) take it off. Remove with plenty of cool water and pat dry. Apply moisturizer straight away - skin will feel tight and dry.... but look bright and very clean!

Whether youre living in America or not, were all surrounded by chips. But Im not talking about poker chips or potato chips, today I want to discuss the RFID chip, and how you can control your privacy with RFID blocking devices.
what is a RFID Chip?
RFID chips (also referred to as RFID tags) carry Radio-Frequency Identification technology (RFID) that shoot a data signal from an electronic chip to a computer, or anyone with an RFID skimming device.
That information can then be processed, changed, updated, and locked. And it all happens in far less time than it took you to read this sentence.
They also come in many various sizes: such as really small or teeny-tiny.You can probably even fit like fifty of them in your hands and still have room for a hundred or more
As a matter of fact, theres probably one in your ID card, keys, hotel pass, smart phone, or credit card right now.
You just havent noticed it yet.
To learn more about RFID chips and how to protect your identity and data, meet me on the next page!
how does this effect me?
In SO many ways!
RFID technology allows us to perform many tasks at a quicker pace than ever before.
Think about it for a second
Since RFID can read and write information, with a single flick of the wrist, you have the extraordinary ability to:
Yet these are only a few examples of how RFID chips can positively effect you on a day-to-day basis.
But its also important to note that there is a dark side to this, quick and invisible exchange of personal information flying through the air. RFID has quietly become one of the main resources available for identity theft and credit card freud.
Voltaire once said, With great power comes great responsibility.
Yet nowadays, its easy for anyone to go online and buy a cheap RFID reader and steal your identity or access your credit card number, without even having to pickpocket you. If youre carrying an RFID chip, then youre vulnerable to thievery and exploitation.
How easy is it to be targeted?
Way too easy. You simply must cross someone with an RFID skimming device so they can scan you in a manner of seconds. Its like fishing, but for criminals.
All it takes for you to become another victim is to be in the wrong place at the right time.The most common places these RFID hackers choose to find their next prey are in highly populated areas,where people are packed in close.
Five places youre most vulnerable are when youre:
Well is there any way I can protect myself?
Yes! Thankfully, RFID blocking devices can keep your information safe by blocking readers from finding your signal.Once your ID, passport, ticket or keys are stored inside these RFID shielded devices, your information cant be read without your permission.
With media outlets buzzing on the Student Locator Project being implemented in Texas School Systems lately, these RFID holders are becoming more popular than ever before, as people are trying to protect themselves from this ever increasing technology. Theyre the safest measure you can take if you want to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Banks, hospitals, correctional facilities, and other places where employees carry photo IDs with sensitive information stored on them have chosen SkimSAFE RFID Badge Holders to outfit their staff. However, if you have a credit or debit card, then you could also benefit from using an RFID shielded badge holder.
All of these RFID Shielded Badge Holders are FIPS 201 approved to fit the specific personal identity verification standards for federal employees and contractors. You can choose eitherSingle or Skim Safe Dual RFID Badge Holders for carrying two cards in one badge holder.
The dual card holders are great for people that carry two IDs at a time, but dont want to carry two ID badge holders. These will allow you to fit 2 cards in 1 holder (one on the front and one on the back) and allow each of them to face forward. All youd have to do is flip it over on the other side.
Our rigid plastic RFID badge holders are extra stiff and sturdy to prevent the ID card from bending while also protecting the data on the ID card. Although the vinyl RFID holders will bend, theyre less bulky and will still protect your card from water, grease, and smudge. They all come in either black, blue, clear or vinyl.
To use your RFID card holder, simply slide your favorite lanyard through the slots and feed your card(s) into the badge holder. You can choose to display your ID either vertically or horizontally
You can also use our SkimSAFE RFID blocking sleeves for your passports, keys and credit cards.
If you have any other questions about the RFID Shielded Badge Holders, the items we carry, or comments on this article, please leave us a note below and well get back to you at our earliest convenience.

THE acquittal of a 42-year-old Buhera man on charges of raping and impregnating his two juvenile daughters drew an angry reaction from child-rights activists who demanded that paternity tests be done since one of the victims has given birth. The elder victim, who is now 16, gave birth recently to a baby boy.
Their case proved a hot potato last Friday during the Victim Friendly Unit monthly meeting, which was held in a courtroom at Rusape Magistrates' Court, which coincidentally is the same building where the man was acquitted.
Last Friday, participants from Makoni, Buhera, Nyanga and Mutasa expressed shock at the court outcome and Mr James Wirima, who prosecuted and was chairing the meeting, was grilled over the matter with distraught participants, mostly teachers and women and girl child rights activists, telling him to appeal against the ruling.
Mr Wirima told them that without fresh evidence, the appeal cannot succeed.
"The evidence we had was not exhaustive, especially the time lapse and refusal by the victims to disclose the rapist and under such circumstances the magistrate could not convict. There were lots of grey areas, but from a prosecutorial point of view, that does not mean that this man did not commit the offence," said Mr Wirima.
This resulted in the house proposing that the father and the elder daughter undergo paternity tests.
According to research, patrilineal testing. A man's test results are compared to another man's results to determine the time frame in which the two individuals shared a most recent common ancestor or MRCA. If their test results are a perfect or nearly perfect match, they are related within genealogy's time frame.
"We understand that one of the victims has given birth, and the court has acquitted the father on technical grounds, is it not best that this man and his daughter undergo paternity tests to establish whether or not he is the 'father' of her child? I want to believe that if child rights activists should pool resources and glean such scientific evidence, only then can we either link and nail this man or absolve him of any wrong doing completely and forgive him as a nation," said one of the participants.
Mr Wirima said the process should be done expeditiously so that if the results point to the commission of the offence, the State could appeal within three months.
"That is probably the surest way of getting indisputable and fresh evidence which if it comes out in the affirmative can form fresh basis for our appeal against the court's ruling. The challenge is that as the State, we do not have the resources for that, but we remain open for assistance from well-wishers," explained Mr Wirima.
To initiate the process, a victim will have to approach the civil court and sue for maintenance. If the man disputes the claims, denying paternity, the court can then grant an order for paternity tests to establish the true father of the child.
"We need to put our minds together and come up with a way forward. The issue at hand involves highly traumatised, emotionally injured and uniformed rural girls who require all the assistance that the nation can offer to arrive at justice.

Olympic gold medalist and 2011 Travel & Training Fund winner Anna Tunnicliffe has won the women's 2011 ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year award. The award, considered to be the sport's highest honor, has only been awarded to two other American sailors in its 17-year history. This was Tunnicliffe's fourth nomination and second win, having been presented with the prestigious award for the first time in 2009.
Tunnicliffe and her crew recently won the 2011 Olympic Team Qualifying Regatta, the first of two selection events to determine the U.S. representative in women's match racing, which will make its Olympic debut in London next year. They are No. 1 in the world rankings and won the overall gold medal for the 2010-2011 ISAF Sailing World Cup season.
Fighting off stiff competition from Dee Caffari (Great Britain), Sarah-Quita Offringa (Aruba) and Alexandra Rickham (Great Britain), Tunnicliffe took to the stage in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the International Sailing Federation's Annual Conference, to receive the award.
"It is so amazing to win the ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year award again, and I truly did not expect it this year, as I was up against so many great competitors, and so many fine accomplishments. When I first read the bios of all the competitors, it is pretty impressive and then when they showed the videos of everybody it puts it all into a new perspective – you know you are up against great competition," said Tunnicliffe of her achievement.

And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making everything new!" And then he said to me, "Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true."Revelation 21:5...."If we have not yet gotten to that point of laying ourselves on the altar before Him - without reservation - we have not yet encountered the living God." Chris Tiegreen
We're, as I write this, in the second day of another new year. As I contemplate that, I have to ask a question of both you and myself; just what new thing in the past year was He able to do in our lives? I'm not talking about a new job, new relationship, new home or car. His Word says that in Him, the old has passed away, and the new has come. What of the old, fallen aspect of your life has passed away, and what newness in Christ has come? What is really new, and what has remained the same? What new spiritual ground have we stepped out on, and in how many places do we continue to stand on the borderland of His promises? How much of the just passed year looked just like the years that preceded it? How much of the coming year will be the same?
The new year is always a great time for making resolutions, and we make a lot of them. We also fail to keep most of them. Why? Because it's so easy to make resolutions about our issues instead of taking the steps needed in resolving them. In short, we make resolutions about everything while almost never resolving anything. What have been our major "issues" in the last year(s) continue to be so in the current one. Why? Because it's easier to make a resolution than to confront the issue in Christ, and in His grace and power, overcome it, resolve it. Turning our weakness in the flesh into our strength in Him. As someone said, if we don't deal with our issues today, they will surely deal with us tomorrow. And they do.....again and again. Resolutions made in our own strength always allow us to slip back into our own spiritual lethargy. We keep standing on the borderland of His wonder, held captive there by our own weakness and fear. Only when we resolve in Him to take hold of the promise, do we enter into it, and we behold and lay hold of the victory that He's already given us.
Speaking of issues, what greater one could we face than that of the masquerade we can so easily be a part of? That is the issue of our masquerading as dedicated followers of Christ when so much of our lives are not dedicated to Him at all. We give a tithe of our money, time, talent, but we "spend" the rest of that in ways that we see fit. God has His part and we have the rest. We place some of ourselves on His altar, and then worship at the altars of pleasure, material things, success, ambition, applause, and self-fulfillment. We dedicate a few moments in pursuit of Him and the rest of our time in the pursuit of what most pleases us. Along the way He pricks our conscience about it, and we say we'll do better, but it doesn't last, and we slip back.....and the masquerade goes on.
There's one more issue to cover and then I'll stop. It's an issue each of us must face. We as His people must cease to declare that we wish for His Spirit to be free in His Church when we are not allowing Him to be free in our own lives. This issue more than any other is what has caused us to depend upon pastors and worship leaders to create an atmosphere that may feed emotions and make us feel like we're in His Presence, but in reality never lays hold of His Person. We know the superficial, we don't experience the supernatural. Only when we are experiencing Him in our moment by moment walk will we know the true wonder of what it is to gather together in Him. How badly do we want this? How passionately will we pursue it?
Issues. We have them. Our fellowships have them. You and I have them. Do they go on, or are they resolved? Do the masks come off, or do they stay on? Are all things really new.....or is it just going to be "second verse, same as the first?" Will the new year really be new?

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca; ca. 4 BC – AD 65) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and in one work humorist, of the Silver Age of Latin literature. He was tutor and later advisor to emperor Nero. While he was later forced to commit suicide for alleged complicity in the Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate Nero, the last of the Julio-Claudian emperors, he may have been innocent.

Weirdly Interesting 14 Absolutely Insane Facts About Weather On Different Planets
List Rules Vote up the wackiest intergalactic weather patterns.
It really is raining diamonds on Jupiter, as actor Jaden Smith was so keen to point out, but in reality, that small tidbit is but a single gem in a treasure trove of weird space weather facts. Envision a place where temperatures are so hot that they melt fool's gold on towering mountain tops, a destination where storms rage on for centuries, and gemstone covered glaciers glide across the surface. Can you take the heat of a 900-degree-Farenheit planet? Do you know of the gas storms that happen every time a star dies? Can you imagine a place that storms so many magnetized crystals that you can see its surface glow for actual light years?
These occurrences are far from fiction. They're a description of some of the wackiest weather in outer space. These climates are hostile to say the least, but there's a chance that, somewhere out there, some microorganism sees this weather as just a regular aspect of their environment.
Could it be that someone lives out there in the eye of a great space storm? We study space weather so thoroughly because it is one of the keys to finding out if we are, in fact, alone in the universe, or if we have... shall we say, company. Here's a look at the zaniest intergalactic climates we've come across so far and what they say about those endless possibilities.
The next time you gape through the hole of a telescope, keep your eyes peeled for the cerulean celestial body that gets its indescribably beautiful blue hue from its rain. As it turns out, this exoplanet is raining horizontal glass shards at a rate of 4,349 miles per hour.
As this glass pours from the sky at unfathomable speeds, the light reflection makes the planet look like it is covered in water. What a terrifyingly deceptive space storm.
So it turns out that it really does rain diamonds on Jupiter; however, diamond storms aren't restricted to that planet alone. Diamond showers are extremely common in outer space. In fact, NASA JL representative Kevin Baines told BBC News that it rains about 2.2 million pounds of diamonds in space every year.
How do diamond rainstorms happen? Well, the lightning on other planets converts methane gas into carbon, and, when that carbon hardens, it eventually takes on the form of a diamond. What makes Jupiter (and notably Saturn) different is their sheer inability to melt the hard constructs of the gemstones. For this reason, it is suspected that the aforementioned planets might have diamond oceans flowing and diamond glaciers gliding through their atmosphere, making them possible treasure troves for future space pirates. It gets stranger...
Planet Vesta, the second largest minor planet on the asteroid belt, is believed to be covered in magnetized crystals that make it glow in such a way that it can sometimes even be seen from Earth. Meanwhile, 1,350 light years from our dull-in-comparison planet, emerald peridots fall from the stars in the constellation Orion. Is it any wonder that the mysteries of the universe are literally hidden gems?
The atmosphere on Venus is 100 times denser than the atmosphere on Earth. If you were to visit Venus, the air around you would be so stiff that you would feel like you were moving through an ocean rather than maneuvering over a solid surface. What's most bewildering, though, is that the pressure of the everyday air on Venus is comparable to or even exceeds the pressure Earth-dwelling deep sea divers experience when they reach the lowest depths humanly possible in the ocean.
This hostile atmosphere keeps Venus burning at approximately 900°F, a temperature so hot that the sky itself explodes from time to time.
Scientists call this phenomenon the Great Red Spot. It's the biggest storm in the recorded history of the solar system. So just how big is it? Well that depends on whether you're measuring its size, temperature, wind strength, or duration. All of those components are extremely colossal, but, when combined, its sheer magnitude is the epitome of zany space weather.
Due to Jupiter's idiosyncratic composition, the average storm on this planet rages on for approximately 150 years. That's light work in the eye of this storm, though. The Great Red Spot has been going strong for 400 years and counting. Anticyclonic in nature and complete with tornadoes and acoustic waves, it is three times the size of Earth. It swirls counterclockwise at a speed of 120 meters per second.
To be fair, this is just one red hot scorcher of a storm, but researching it serves several scientific purposes. Upon more recent observation, it has become apparent that sound waves from this great space anticyclone are heating its upper atmosphere to the tune of over 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit. This newly discovered piece of the puzzle could explain why some planets appear hotter than any temperature sunlight alone could achieve. Some scientists speculate that the heat from this storm is warming the entire planet of Jupiter.

The address appeared yesterday on Swamplot's Daily Demolition Report, but the Google Street View link just showed the side of the building, which did not look very special. The facade that faces Harrisburg, not Stiles, is very interesting though. It features an art deco canopy and clock tower! The building sold as an artist live/work/gallery just a few years ago for under $200k. Now the land is being cleared for METRO's new East End Light Rail line.
Architectural historian Stephan Fox said, "The Sterling Laundry & Cleaning Co. Building, was built in 1935 and designed by the architect Sol R. Slaughter. In the 1980s and '90s it was the residence and studio of the Houston artist William Steen, who died last year. It is illustrated in Jim Parsons and David Bush's book, Houston Deco, on page 37."
Eastwood resident Steve Parker said, "METRO pledged to save the facade of the building with the clock on it, across from Eastwood Park. They preferred to have someone else buy it and move it, but if that didn't happen, they were going to move it back on the property and reattach it behind the new setback."
Steve added, "I am very disappointed that METRO has decided to demolish an East End landmark that we had worked with them to save. They changed their mind without letting the community know. It just showed up on the demo list yesterday. Now we only have a couple of days to save it.
The neighborhood has alerted their government representatives and local preservationists.
More at Art Deco Slaughter on Harrisburg: Is METRO Taking to the Cleaners?
and Neighbors Say Metro Promised to Save a Building it Now Plans to Demolish,
and Facade Value: Saving the Skin isn't the Same as Saving the Building. But at least it's Something.
Neighbors and concerned citizens met with Houston City Council members and Metro officials today to discuss preservation options. Below are photos of the interior and roof condition.

Israel made sure of UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying round Group 8 second place with a comfortable win against the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in Skopje.
Portugal have already clinched the automatic play-off place from this section but Israel cannot now be caught by Norway for second position thanks to tonight's result. Israel will now look to win their 100th game in this competition in Azerbaijan on 3 September and then the return with FYROM four days later in their bid to be one of the four runners-up with the best record against the teams first, third, fourth and fifth in their sections.
The visitors attacked from the off and Roi Kehat's shot from the edge of the box on five minutes was only just off target. In the 18th minute Kenneth Hassan Saief managed to break clear but put his effort wide and on the half-hour was agonising close with a fierce strike.
Three minutes later it was 1-0 when Ofir Mizrachi scored a wonderful lob from the edge of the box. Mizrachi then doubled the visitors' advantage in the 41st minute after a great pass by Dor Mikha, when he managed to beat Damjan Siskovski one on one, and placed the ball in the net.
Mizrachi could have been rewarded for his great night with a hat-trick but this time Siskovski managed to save his lob in the 51st minute. FYROM had a chance to reduce arrears when Daniel Avramovski's header past the post but Israel responded, Mikha hitting the woodwork then substitute Shoval Gozlan making certain of victory from the edge of the post with nine minutes left.

Starting a new business is a risky and exciting venture. Whether you're a serial entrepreneur who is constantly coming up with new ideas or trying to turn your skills and hobbies into an income generator, starting a small business is a big task. It's a well-known fact that a majority of small businesses fail in the long term. Over 50% don't make it past the first 5 years. In order to keep your business out of that 50% and to help you succeed, here are some of the Do's and Don'ts for small businesses.
Do make sure you research your industry
All too often, aspiring small business owners think that starting a small business is as simple as filing for an LLC and opening up shop. This is one of the leading causes of small business failure. It's very important that you perform research on the industry you're looking at getting involved in. Some of the things you should look into are:
- Competitors
- The market demand
- Do you need special licensing?
- Are there any legal concerns?
- Is the industry growing or shrinking?
- How many similar businesses are there in your area?
After doing some research you might conclude that the industry is currently in decline and isn't expected to rise for another 10-15 years. You might discover that you need special licensing that takes 6-12 months to acquire. All of these factors will play a role in the success of your business because they could cause your business to fail right from the start.
Don't act spontaneously
The excitement of starting a small business is a lot to deal with. You might have hundreds of ideas buzzing in your head and just want to get started. However, when you act spontaneously, you might also be making irrational decisions. When it comes to starting a small business, every decision should be properly planned and analyzed.
For example, you don't want to just order new inventory because there was a sale. You have to research and figure out the potential profit margins and determine whether or not the product will even sell. Make sure you do proper research on any major business decision because making the wrong choice could result in lost revenue. If you make enough of these bad spontaneous decisions, you'll find yourself in that 50% of failed small businesses.
Do seek out a mentor
One often overlooked tool that can be very beneficial is to ask for help from someone who knows about the industry you're entering. Obviously the competitor down the street isn't going to help you run them out of business, so you're going to want to seek out someone that has no stake in your business and won't be affected by your success or failure. You can find mentors at networking events, trade associations, or take part in a government sponsored mentor program such as SCORE. There are plenty of industry executives that are more than willing to help new small businesses succeed.
You want to make sure your mentor has experienced success in your industry before, and is not simply someone who makes money by coaching others.
Don't rely on gentlemen's agreements
One of the number one rules in business is to make sure you get everything in writing. Legal issues can kill a small business, and often times the issues are 100% avoidable. Any type of agreement, deal, or negotiation, needs to be in writing. The practice of a gentlemen's agreement does not hold up in court.
Having all business dealings in writing also helps to give you a reference point for past agreements. If one of your suppliers increases their prices on you, you can go back and check your contract to see under what circumstances a price increase can occur. Written documents help solve a majority of the disagreements that your business will run into with other parties including customers.
Do use the internet
Countless studies have proven that companies that adapt to technology and utilize it are more likely to succeed than those who don't. Not only does putting your business online give you further exposure, it also gives you the opportunity to interact with customers through social media. Consider this statistic from Single Grain, 70% of local businesses are on Facebook. That means that there is a strong chance that your competitors are utilizing internet marketing to reach customers. This puts your small business at a huge disadvantage if you're not doing the same.
In addition to this, aside from word of mouth, your business' reputation will be spread online. You need to monitor what is being said about your business and address customer issues.
Don't start your business with insufficient funds
Starting a small business requires money. Some businesses may require very little startup capital such as an internet magazine, and others might require a significant amount such as starting a new restaurant. Unfortunately many aspiring small business owners do not know how to fund their business properly.. Consider venture capitalism, getting a small business loan from a credit union, raising the funds yourself, or seeking investors.
Be careful about borrowing money from friends or family to fund your business. It can lead to building bad blood and straining the relationship.
Do make a business plan
Wrapping up our list is making a business plan. Every business should have a written business plan that outlines their entire business. This will help when seeking investors, analyzing your business idea, and many other factors that will determine the success or failure of your business. I can guarantee you that no legitimate venture capitalist, bank, credit union, or other investor will give you a dime without seeing a business plan. According to business coach Paul Fagan, 80% of business that do not create a business plan fail within the first 5 years.
A business plan outlines all of the aspects discussed in the research section of this article as well as other crucial aspects such as your company's exit strategy, growth plan, financials, and more. If you want to increase your chance of success, create a business plan.

As expected, Dell is now offering Inspiron notebook PCs with the Intel Core 2 Duo "Penryn" chip as an optional configuration. This is the first time that Dell has included the 45-nanometer processor as an option in the consumer-oriented Inspiron line.
An Inspiron 1720 with a T9300 (2.5GHz, 6MB cache) processor, 17-inch (1440x900) screen, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, 2GB shared dual channel DDR2 memory, and a 250GB SATA hard drive (5400RPM) is priced at $1,299.
An Inspiron 1420 with a T8300 (2.4GHz, 3MB cache) processor, 14.1-inch (1280x900) screen, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, 2GB shared dual channel DDR2 memory, and a 160GB SATA hard drive (5400RPM) is priced at $1,024.
For an extra $200, a 256MB Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT video card is available with the 1720. On the 1420, a 128MB Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS is available for an additional $100.
Launched last month, Intel's 45-nanometer mobile processors generally pack around 400 million transistors. One of the most salient features is the larger cache. The higher-end processors integrate 6MB of cache memory versus 4MB for the older 65-nanometer "Merom" generation, and the lower-end chips integrate 3MB vs. 2MB for the Merom-class processors. A larger cache generally means better performance.

High process reliability, for many years and around the clock
At no other place in the steel mill is process reliability as important as at the blast and arc furnaces. For once it is commissioned, a blast furnace is used around the clock over the course of years.
Continuously and reliably managing high temperatures and magnetic fields is a top priority for every steelworker. Some of its important tasks are water cooling, safe supply and discharge of gas when producing pig iron in a blast furnace and positioning of electrodes in an arc furnace. With a full-range assortment with all effective principles, Balluff provides sensors and systems that solve a wide variety of applications in the steel industry.
Sensors for detecting color and contrast support the positioning of electrodes in the arc furnace. The sensor, which is protected in the gripper checks whether it has been gripped correctly using color markings on the electrode.
Balluff BES inductive sensors deliver convincing performance, particularly in the rough conditions of the steel industry. Weld field immune and insensitive to magnetic fields, they are extremely reliable in ensuring the correct electrode position at the arc furnace.
Our BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors are excellent for the control of valves and flaps at the blast furnace. They help to reliably regulate supply and return air in pig iron production. Alternatively, you can use inductive BES standard sensors. A temperature sensor is integrated in the electronics head for all BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors with a bus interface. This guarantees the correct temperature measurement.
Balluff BSP pressure sensors are optimally suited for use in steel mills. With their extremely low drift, they can guarantee a long, stable pressure measurement process during water cooling at blast and arc furnaces.
Balluff BUS ultrasonic sensors are perfect for monitoring stack heights on conveyor belts as well as fill levels in silos. Under the harsh conditions of the steel mill, they detect objects made of many materials. This means that they guarantee that the blast furnaces are always reliably charged, even if there is dust and dirt caused by charges and coke.

Small Business Website Design | 5 Web Design Tips for Creating….
New York designer's surprising new angle on flat design | Webdesigner Depot.
Most small businesses could and would benefit from a website, even if it is just a basic site.
Basic site map:
- landing page, aka splash and/or index page, the first page you land on needs to fulfill some basic requirements, an introduction to the business as a whole, what do you do, what do you sell, what service do you provide, it should be reasonably quick loading and it should spark some interest in your potential customers/clients, it should be attractive in some way, shape or form
- about us, here you can give a fuller and better description of what you are about, where you have come from as a business, where you see yourself going, how you can help, what is it that is new or different about you, your selling point, unique or not, singular or just plain good-looking
- contact, if you have a shop or office where is it, can they phone you, perhaps an e-mail address, how can you contact them – a contact form will allow you to set up a database, a potential customer/client list fuelling further marketing efforts be it via phone, e-mail or post
If, in addition to all of the above, you give your visitors more content it will help with your site rankings – it is so much better to be well up the list. That content also says a lot more about you – it adds to and deepens your branding efforts.

Toyota Charges After Tesla With Electric Sports Car Plans
Wonder how long before someone posts a comment on the blog about the "Fesitval".
Good luck w/ that (manual transmission EV). It's just a way to cover for a poorly designed system and/or cheap components. I have the same problem w/ electric motorcycles. I will never buy one w/ the transmission. Does away w/ the whole reason for going electric.
Gotta love big companies - this person probably has no idea what's going on in the RAV4 program....
Agree. A manual transmission - in an ICE or an EV - is just covering up design weaknesses. The design weaknesses are inherent in an ICE, what's the excuse for screwing up an EV that way?
How cool is it that Tesla got mentioned in the first sentence of an article about something only vaguely related to Tesla?
Definitely of industry leader, imho.
A transmission, prolly with computer assist, might work out OK. I don't mind Toyota trying such a thing out -- if it works well, then it solves some problems and creates a transmission hybrid.
Reminds me of Jessi Lang's Audi coverage. Bet it's annoying for both Toyota and Audi.
What is that???
For a dozen years I drove a manual Honda Civic. I did think that the manual transmission was more fun than an automatic. Why did I feel that way? Probably because it felt like I was in control of something more than the pedals and the steering wheel. And I could do something that an automatic would not have done: Choose the shift point to fit the conditions. More torque when I wanted to accelerate, or better FE when I was not in a hurry. Then I got the Prius and quickly learned to enjoy the ease of city driving without having to shift all the time. And now the Roadster just doesn't have the shortcomings that make some sort of transmission necessary in an ICE.
I can see how a race car might benefit from a transmission, since the Roadster's top speed would not make the grade in a race where cars have faster top speeds. But I differentiate between a race car and a sports car. A sports car does not have to go faster than the speed limit, as long as it has good acceleration at the top end. In fact, IMO the Roadster's top speed is 20 mph higher than necessary. I'd have lowered the gear ratio a wee bit to give it more acceleration at the cost of a lower top speed.
No transmission needed. A transmission just slows down the car for the ordinary (non race car) driver.
You have clearly never driven on the German Autobahn.... I was glad I could coax 137mph out of the Roadster.... without that I would have looked very silly with all the BMW's cruising at 155mph.
We are discussing sports cars in this thread... IMO 100mph top speed might have been acceptable 100 years ago but today that would be a marketing disaster.
If we focus on street-cars v track-cars, there's no need for a transmission on any EV that never sees a track. And that's maybe 99.44% of the sales. Adding the complexity, weight, and cost of a transmission just to address a commercially tiny market isn't a good business call, IMO.
This thread might shift over to the "which direction?" thread where opposing views on this were thoroughly aired, so let's not rehash that debate. Some feel having a super-car that can post world-class Ring times is important for Tesla, and others want to focus on selling volume of in-house made vehicles. Given that Tesla has chosen the second track, it is wise to steer clear of transmissions. Toyota has profits to burn playing around with such misadventures.
haha, hadn't even noticed that -- and it's still not corrected!
Lack of transmission or single speed is one of the maintenance advantages of the BEV right now. If some manufacturer started introducing BEVs with a transmission then the extra complexity should be denoted in the name. Since ICE + EV = hybrid, I figured BEV + transmission = transmission hybrid.
Yes but the Autobahn's days are numbered. There are already very few places you can drive those speeds (My family is from Saarland and the roads there are often clogged w/ French caravans avoiding the toll roads - and there are limits near towns which are growing, etc.). Also, efficiency is dreadful at those speeds ICE or EV.
But we'll find out as Model S is competitive w/ an M5 in every way except top speed. Buyers will appear or they won't.
Hmmm... I cannot be the only one wondering if such a Toyota would have a Tesla-sourced drivetrain? The reporter was clearly not savvy enough to ask or speculate about that! It is going to be very interesting when Toyota and Daimler (Mercedes) start overlapping with Tesla end-product cars in target market, specs and function.
sorry, but not my experience this year... lots of clear Autobahn as we travelled to and from Geneva.
