Shackleton's Way : Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer Paperback
by Margot Morrell, Stephanie Capparell
Sir Ernest Shackleton has been called 'the greatest leader that ever came on God's earth, bar none' for saving the lives of the twenty-seven men stranded with him on an Antarctic ice floe for almost two years.
Written by two veteran business observers, Shackleton's Way details universal leadership tactics set against the thrilling survival story of the Endurance expedition.Whether it's hiring good workers, supporting and inspiring employees to do their best, managing a crisis with limited personnel and resources, creating order out of chaos, or leading by personal example with optimism, egalitarianism, humour, strength, ingenuity, intelligence and compassion, Ernest Shackleton set an example we can all follow.
Illustrated with photographer Frank Hurley's masterpieces and other rarely seen photos, Shackleton's Way is filled with fascinating and practical lessons of a leader who succeeded by putting people first and triumphing brilliantly when all the odds were against him.

Review by Steve55
The subtitle to this book is 'Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer'. I have to confess that I knew very little of the life and exploits of Ernest Shackleton but my interest was stirred by a conversation some months ago with a friend Richard Coles who extolled Shackleton's strengths as a leader. When I came across this book it seemed the perfect opportunity to find out more about a real explorer and I was not disappointed.Ernest Shackleton is less well known than his contemporary Scott perhaps because his greatest achievement was a failure, but it's how he dealt with the situations that the failure threw at him that mark him out as an extraordinary leader, in many ways ahead of his time. The book tells the story of the Endurance expedition to Antarctica which set sail in August 1914. By January 1915 Endurance had come within one days sailing of its planned landing spot when it became frozen in. At first the team holed up in the Endurance to live out the Antarctic winter, itself not a particularly attractive proposition but when in October 1915 the shifting Ice began to crush and eventually sink their ship the story changes from one of exploration to one of survival on the floating ice. The men were more than a thousand miles from any other human beings and hundreds of miles from terra firma.The book reveals the astonishing story of how Shackleton led his team of 27 men on an incredible journey to safety. It gives a sense of the incredible hardships faced by the men in a truly inhospitable environment. The story is laced with anecdotes and quotes from the diaries of the men which reveal that even in these incredibly difficult conditions Shackleton's undimmed optimism and leadership skills created the confidence and support from his men that was was essential to their survival and a loyalty that lasted throughout their lives. Note that this is not a modern story of sitting it out and waiting for rescue. Only through this inner strength could they have made their own astonishing journey to safety using makeshift lifeboats and an incredible trek across the ice. Their triumph was that not one man was lost.In telling the story the book is structured to pick out aspects of Shackleton's leadership to underline the leadership lessons. Divided into nine chapters which follow the phases of the expedition, from selecting the crew through to achieving their goal of reaching safety, each chapter provides a summary list for reference of Shackleton's approach and then relates the stories of people inspired to use these lessons in a modern situation. These reflections include views from an industrialist, scientist, military leader, educator, internet pioneer and one from Capt, James A Lovell Jr who faced his own challenge of survival as the commander of the stricken Apollo 13 space craft.Though the Endurance expedition took place in a dramatically different world to ours, and the hardship faced can only be glimpsed through the words of the book, the lessons of leadership have a remarkable relevance to today. This is a good source of practical guidance on leadership but perhaps for me serves to put in perspective some of the challenges that we face today and illustrate the incredible power of effective leadership.Throughout the book the influence of the then new ideas of psychology can be seen in Shackleton's thinking and behaviour. 'Shackleton was frustrated that never got to write a book about 'the mental side' of his leadership - what we would call today strategy. "That is the side that interests me the most." he said.'I believe that this book goes some way towards writing this on his behalf. In summary a fantastic tale of an incredible achievement from which we can all extract lessons, encouragement and energy to improve our approach to leadership and change.

PS Audio: Plenty to see at RMAF!
First active demonstration of BHK Signature Preamplifier
Boulder, CO: 9/25/15: Autumn is gorgeous in Denver, and veteran audio manufacturer PS Audio is excited to invite you to the first active demonstration of the BHK Signature Preamplifier at the 12th annual Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, October 2-4, at the Denver Marriott Tech Center. PS will be exhibiting in Room 1107.
Hot on the heels of the BHK Signature 250 and 300 amplifiers introduced earlier this year, the BHK Signature Preamplifier is the culmination of a lifetime of research and design work on the art of analog preamplification by legendary designer Bascom King. Bascom's longtime collaborator Arnie Nudell was actively involved in the voicing of the preamp, just as he was with the BHK amps. Arnie will be present in the PS room during RMAF.
The preamplifier is a full function line stage, featuring five single ended and balanced inputs, a discrete Class-A MOSFET headphone amplifier, all classic through-hole construction, PRP resistors, assignable home theater bypass, and a fully balanced design. Based on a pair of zero feedback 12AU7 current sourced vacuum tubes feeding a class A MOSFET output stage, the BHK Preamplifier enjoys extreme linearity with a rich and open sound.
Unique to the preamp's design is its multi-stage stepped attenuator. High voltage analog switches and gold contact relays are incorporated in a two-stage process of linear attenuation. The first stage uses a classic, single element, variable shunt attenuator feeding the vacuum tube input. Finer adjustments are made through varying the actual gain of the vacuum tube and together, form a sonically-invisible attenuator. Release of the BHK Preamplifier is scheduled for Q2/16 (MSRP TBD).
The remainder of the demo system consists of the following PS Audio components:
* PerfectWave Memory Player transport (MSRP $3,999)
* DirectStream DAC (MSRP $5,999)
* P10 Power Plant regenerator (MSRP $4,999, 3 in use)
* BHK Signature 300 Mono Amplifiers (MSRP $14,998/pair)
Paul McGowan's custom-built Mac Mini will be used as an additional source, and we are pleased to be using the extraordinary YG Acoustics Sonja 1.3 loudspeakers (MSRP $106,800/pair), and equally-extraordinary cabling by MG Audio Design. Like PS Audio, both YG Acoustics and MG Audio Design are Colorado companies..
Elsewhere at the show, you'll find our all-in-one integrated amp Sprout at a demo table in the lobby near the main entrance. Feel free to play with Sprout with a variety of inputs, and listen through GoldenEar Aon speakers or Master & Dynamic headphones. Sprout's price was recently reduced to $499, and show attendees will have the opportunity to win one unit per day, given away by a drawing.. Those not lucky enough to win will be able to buy a Sprout at special RMAF pricing.
PS Audio founder and CEO Paul McGowan will be part of the Legends of High-End Audio panel, as he was in May at THE Show-Newport. Moderated by TAS Editor Robert Harley, the panel also includes our friend Arnie Nudell (Infinity/Genesis) , as well as esteemed colleagues Richard Vandersteen (Vandersteen Audio), and Bob Stuart (Meridian Audio). The panel will be held Saturday, October 3, 2:30-3:45 PM, in the lobby-level Aspen Amphitheater.
Finally--and some might say, most importantly--we want to invite you to a get-together, just to share drinks, food, and each other's company. Please join us Saturday, October 3, 5-8 PM, at Baker St. Pub & Grill, 8101 E. Belleview Ave., Denver 80237. It's not far from the Marriott, as the crow flies, and is a reasonable walk.After they complete their live recording demo at the show, Cookie Marenco will present Blue Coast Records recording artists Maria Quiles & Rory Cloud. Whether you stay for 10 minutes or the whole time--do please come and join us!

Emily C.wrote a review of Zero RH + Powerlogic Olympic Frame Bib Short - Women's on December 8, 2011
Too much padding and complicated straps
I passed up buying a pair of men's Zero RH bibs in Italy this Fall and went on a mad search for the brand when I returned to the U.S. Unfortunately, the straps were really complicated and the chamois was way too think and padded. I've had problems the past year with chamois that are too padded as I find they bunch and create saddle sores. I wish there were other bib models as the quality is excellent and I loved the design.

Solve the Cyprus Mortgage and Money Crisis
- Target:
- Region:
- Cyprus
Despite residential (or NON-residential now, as the case may be!!) local, and international awareness, nothing is being done about the crisis affecting integration, tourism, livelihood, financial security, accommodation, and properties - to name but a few - in Cyprus.
The collapse of the housing market and lending schemes has left many people- mainly British ex-pats homeless, or/and in financial turmoil.
All the initial promises of a better life in Cyprus have been quashed under the continuation of the decline or even stability in prosperity. The fact that this has been a slow and arduous event has resulted in a sever lack of interest and too much confusion from people.
These are people that invested in Cyprus, through buying property here, hence advocating the positive aspects of the country to tourists, businesses and residents. The already tarnished reputation of living in Cyprus, is getting worse.
What happened to the word 'union' in 'European Union'? When did financial instability result in good people losing their home, pride and life? Why is it that those who are of the norm financially are left to fight their own small yet significant battles?
The blame can be pointed to many things, the Swiss Franc, the exchange rate, the Euro or the lack of attention to detail made by the homeowner, or the false promises of the lenders? (we could go on) yet this lottery of options only ferments the fact that people are financially crippled.
How can you help save, protect and remedy a whole country's monetary mistakes - E.G Greece, when you're unable or unwilling to aid the average person, who through no fault of their own are being punished.
Countless people who have worked hard all their lives, and sold everything to reside in Cyprus had previously extended and expressed their passion for Cyprus, the policies and people encouraging others to visit and spend money. Little did they know that sooner or later their mortgage would double, the price of food would become extortionate, and their once thriving happy village would become a very sad place; full of derelict businesses, houses, and melancholy pessimistic frustrated people.
In short, this economic situation needs to be resolved. Are you going to help thousands from losing everything including their house and dignity before
its much too late?

Hermann of the University Hospital Essen, Germany, and colleagues noted that previous research had suggested a link between sleep disorders and stroke risk and recovery. In order to gain a better understanding of this association, the team conducted a meta-analysis of 29 studies that assessed how sleep disorders – such as insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) – may be associated with stroke and stroke recovery.Dr Hermann and colleagues noted that sleep disorders could usually be categorised in one of two groups: sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) – such as OSA, where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep – and sleep-wake disorders (SWD), such as insomnia, which reduces sleep duration. SDB was most severe for patients with ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke, and these disorders persisted during stroke recovery.However, the team noted that such problems improved with treatment, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which provides the patient with a constant flow of air through the nasal passages during sleep. Overall, the researchers concluded that the evidence to date strongly suggests that SDB increases the likelihood of stroke and, without treatment, can hamper stroke recovery.The authors found evidence that SWDs was weaker for insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and hypersomnia – increase stroke risk and harm stroke recovery. While the study does not pinpoint the exact mechanisms by which sleep disorders may lead to stroke and hinder recovery, Dr Hermann told Medical News Today about one possible pathway."Sleep has important restorative functions in the brain," he explained. "Sleep enables neuronal plasticity processes, which are required for stroke recovery." Based on the evidence, the researchers believe individuals who have had a stroke should be monitored for sleep disorders.Dr Dirk M Hermann mentioned that although sleep disorders are common after a stroke, very few stroke patients are tested for them. "The results of our review show that should change, as people with sleep disorders may be more likely to have another stroke or other negative outcomes than people without sleep problems, such as having to go to a nursing home after leaving the hospital." While there are a number of drugs that are available for sleep disorders, the research team is cautious to recommend them for stroke patients, due to insufficient evidence of their safety in this population.Separately, a recent study has identified a higher risk of heart disease for individuals who have hidden tooth infections.Researchers from the University of Helsinki in Finland have uncovered a link between dental root tip infection, known as apical periodontitis, and greater risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) – an umbrella term for conditions that involve blocked blood flow to the coronary arteries.Study co-author John Liljestrand of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases at the University of Helsinki and colleagues published their findings in the Journal of Dental Research. Apical periodontitis is a condition characterised by inflammatory lesions of the pulp in the centre of the tooth, most commonly triggered by infection."While the condition can cause pain, this may not present until later on in the infection, meaning some people who have apical periodontitis are unaware they have it; most cases are uncovered unexpectedly through X-rays." The results revealed that patients with apical periodontitis were more likely to have CAD or ACS; this association was strongest for patients whose apical periodontitis was untreated and required a root canal, with a 2.7-times greater risk of ACS.These results remained after accounting for a number of possible confounding factors, including patients' age, sex, smoking, type-2 diabetes, body mass index (BMI), and number of teeth.Based on their findings, the researchers believed apical periodontitis could be considered a risk factor for heart disease. "Our findings support the hypothesis that ELs [endodontic lesions] are independently associated with CAD and in particular with ACS. This is of high interest from a public health perspective, considering the high prevalence of ELs and CAD."Additionally, the team found that patients with apical periodontitis had higher levels of antibodies in their blood that are associated with other common bacteria, further suggesting that oral infections can affect other areas of the body.

1.The first important point of chicken pox diet is that the patient should be served food which are easily digestible. During this time the patient is unable to digest food properly and thus, easily digestible food like kichri, plain rice and dal, poppy seeds etc are advised. Non vegetarian diet should be strictly avoided.
2.The diet mostly consist of fluids like fruit juice, coconut water,vegetable soup etc. Fluid diet helps the nutrients to be observed faster. During this disease the ability to absorb nutrients by the body is also lost.
3.Blisters appear inside the mouth and throat as well. Thus, one should avoid intake of spicy, oily and crunchy food. It might make the blisters burst and burn more. Bursting of the blisters leads to increasing spreading it in the whole body.
4.Include Zinc, magnesium and calcium supplements in your diet to enhance the immune system. Enhanced immune system help in quick cure.
5.Chicken Pox diet should include coriander and carrot soup. Chop one carrot and one cup of chopped coriander leaves and boil it in two cups of water. Strain the water and drink it as soup once everyday.
These guidelines of chicken pox diet will help quick recovery and healing of the symptoms and scars.

Responding to Anna Hazare's complaint against her "colleagues", Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday assured him that she does not support "politics of smear campaign" and she was strongly committed to the institution of Lokpal.
Writing to Hazare, the Chairperson of National Advisory Council (NAC) said she believes there is "urgent necessity" to combat graft and corruption and he should not "doubt my commitment in the fight for probity in public life".
She pointed out that the Lokpal bill is very much part of the agenda of the NAC and a Working Group has been formed to evolve broad principles for discussion and approval in the next meeting of the Council on April 28.
"As for the statements appearing in the media, let me assure you that I do not support nor encourage the politics of smear campaigns," Gandhi said in her letter to Hazare.
She was replying to Hazare's letter sent on Monday in which the social activist said a "smear" campaign had been launched against civil society members of the joint drafting committee on Lokpal Bill and asked her to advise her "colleagues" not to try to derail the process of drafting of law.
He particularly complained against an unnamed minister, who is part of the 10-member joint drafting committee and a party General Secretary, believed to be Digvijay Singh who has been attacking his campaign.
"Let me reiterate what I wrote to you earlier, that I believe there is an urgent necessity to combat graft and corruption," Gandhi told Hazare.
"You should have no doubt of my commitment in the fight for probity in public life. I strongly support the institution of a Lokpal that is consistent with the practices and conventions of our Parliamentary democracy," she wrote.
Noting that Lokpal Bill was part of NAC's agenda, Gandhi said the Council's Working Group on Transparency, Accountability and Governance under the convenorship of Aruna Roy had held consultations on this subject on April 4 with several representatives of civil society including Shanti Bhushan, Santosh Hegde and Prashant Bhushan are are in the joint committee.
Swami Agnivesh and Arvind Kejriwal were also involved, she said.
"This is the very course that the NAC was following until the process was, as you know, overtaken by the subsequent events," the NAC Chairperson said, apparently referring to the agitation by Hazare and the following developments.

Perth: Australia batsman Matthew Hayden wiped Brian Laras record of highest individual score in a Test innings with a spectacular 380 on the second day of the first Test against Zimbabwe on Friday.
Haydens mammoth effort beat the previous mark of 375 set by Lara against England in 1994.
The Queenslander pushed left-arm slow bowler Ray Price for a single to long on in the last over before tea to reach 376 before swinging his bat above his head in celebration and raising both hands to the cheers of the crowd.
Hayden then kissed his Baggy Green and was bear-hugged by teammate Adam Gilchrist.Hayden was finally caught at deep square leg by Stuart Carlisle off Trevor Gripper shortly after tea.
Australia declared on 735 for six immediately after Haydens dismissal with Gilchrist unbeaten on 113. Hayden struck 38 fours and 11 sixes from 437 balls in 622 minutes at the crease.
Each member of the Zimbabwe team also congratulated Hayden as he walked from the field at tea on 376 not out.
The 31-year-old had resumed on his overnight score of 183 after blazing 107 in the evening session on Thursday.
The powerfully-built left hander reached his 300 with a single to mid-off off Heath Streak.
Hayden took a single to long-off to reach 335, passing the previous Australia record of 334 shared by former captain Mark Taylor and the great Don Bradman.
Dropped at long-on on 335, Hayden then smashed his 10th six as wicketkeeper Gilchrist slipped almost unnoticed into the nineties.
Hayden shared partnerships of 97 with Damien Martyn (53), 207 with captain Steve Waugh (78) and 96 with Darren Lehmann (30) plus 233 with Gilchrist. Gilchrists hundred, his ninth in 46 matches, was also a powerful knock but was completely overshadowed by Haydens heroics. But Zimbabwe began their reply well and were 79 for one at stumps, 656 runs behind Australias daunting total

Awesome work. i mean in both pics. In fact, i like dress in first one, but the girls face, hair, and pose- in second. Awesome
yes, the dress in the second is , for me, more refined and simple; the detail is smaller; and less pompous than first
hm.. i gotta say i like the old one
I love it!! Great job!!(=
wooow amazing improvement!! <33
I honestly like the left panel better... It's more detailed, a little bit more honest and raw. :3
you aren''t the first that said something like this ...everyone have them taste ^^
I love raw, ameture work... Imperfections are beautiful to me. I purchased an Evanescence CD called "Origin", a pre-released CD to their debut album "Fallen" (the one that really launched their career). Origin has many mixing and vocal flaws in it, it easily became my favorite Evanescence album. (I'm just using this as an example)
But yeah... back to my point... I love flawed art, and yours is really great. :3
But yeah... back to my point... I love flawed art, and yours is really great. :3
They're both different but I can't decide which one is better!

Fashion sense keeps changing every year. Fashion that is in today may be ridiculed tomorrow. Fashion is a thing of change and is never constant.
Some people are very fashion conscious, whereas others don't give a damn and they usually make their own fashion statements. Come what may, we need to be up to the marks of the current fashion trends and present ourselves well in the current fashion scenario.
We all love to try new fashion trends or styles followed by celebrities and want to look outstanding. However, what if a fashion trend costs you some effort, gives pain and seems weird. Thats why people in the past had their own fashion statement and had a unique fashion sense of their own.
In the past, fashion was an obligation and not a matter of fun. People in the past would go to any extent to define their fashion sense. How strange! Their fashion was not very flexible with not much etiquettes and was an extreme torture in few cases.
Its not many years ago that things were different. Listed here are 10 old beauty standards from the past, which were weird and hard to believe.
Hairy Legs And Armpits
Do you know that before the 20th century there was no concept of body hair removal. Shaving body hair was not popular, and people would not remove hair on legs, arms and arm pits also. It was only when few companies released razor blades into the markets that introduced shaving for women, ladies got to know the power of clean skin!
Twelve Inch Waistlines
Can you imagine that girls used to shrink their waist line up to 12 inches by wearing tight corsets during the Victorian times? Girls used to faint or even ended up breaking a rib, while trying to tighten their waist line into their corsets.
In the early 1700's, moles were considered to be a sign of beauty. Girls used to put artificial moles, available in the markets in different shapes and sizes, on their faces. Even the shapes of the moles would be different such as stars, moon, hearts, etc.
No Bikini Wax
Women had no idea of a bikini wax in the early 60's. The models in the glamour magazines would appear with a full bush of pubic hair. It has only been in practice from the last 30 years, where removal of pubic hair is considered more to be for hygiene purposes than beauty. This is one of the most weird beauty trends from the past.
No Shower!
Now, this might really shock you! Queen Elizabeth the first was once heard saying that she takes a bath four times in a year. Women rarely used to bathe in the early 50's and used to put a scent over their body to hide the smell. There was no idea of having a regular shower, and a weekly bath was more in the norm. Unavailability of baths and shower rooms was also a reason.
Pale Skin
While talking about tanned skin nowadays, a pale skin was in fashion during the past. In the early 1900's, women used to make their skin look pale. There is a reason behind this. The workers during that time used to work hard in the sun, which made their skin get tanned easily. Sun tan was a sign of the labourers, so the fashionates used to colour their skin pale to avoid being mislead by a labourer. Some would go to an extent of drawing purple veins on to their skins, in an effort to prove they had a tan.
Straight Hair Was A Scary Thing
In the early 1950's, women never would keep their hair straight and would keep the curlers on their head for a full day, so that they would never have straight hair!
Undone Eyebrows
It is only during the 20th century that eyebrow trimming came in to fashion. Before that, girls never used to bother about their eyebrows. They kept their brows untamed and untrimmed. However, in the early 80's, girls used to trim their eyebrows dramatically and would make a semicircle shape with a dark black pencil.
Trimming Eyelashes
On contrary to the thick, long and lustrous eyelashes of today, girls of the 19th century used to trim their eyelashes. It might seem as a horrible and scary thing to do today, but it was in fashion those days. Women used to trim their brows to make them shorter and would apply some oil to make them look shiny.

Stoke sub Hamdon is a civil parish in South Somerset in Somerset, England, and is one of the largest villages in the district. It's situated near River Parrett and is around 8 kilometres west of the town of Yeovil.
A Look into the Past of Stoke sub Hamdon
The area near Stoke sub Hamdon seemed to have been occupied by the Durotriges tribe in the Bronze and Iron ages. Evidence of Roman occupation has also been found in the area.
Like many other towns and villages in the UK, Stoke sub Hamdon had been passed from one owner to another in its early years. Its estate was owned by the Glastonbury Abbey in the 10th century, but it was given to Robert, Count of Mortain after the Norman Conquest and later on to the Beauchamps of Hatch. It was eventually acquired by the Duchy of Cornwall, which still holds it until today.
Stoke sub Hamdon was mentioned in the The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland in 1868. The author noted that many of the residents earned a living by making gloves, although agriculture was the primary industry during the time.

MARYVILLE (WATE) – A Seymour woman says she and her husband were told to leave a Maryville business because of their service dog. They've now filed a complaint under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Jody Harrison-Grabber says she has taken her service dog Daisy with her everywhere.
"She goes with Jody to the cancer center; we have gone to doctor's offices," said Jody Harrison-Grabber's husband Jim. We have gone to hospitals."
Jody Harrison-Grabber lives with a disability that causes her movement to be unstable. Her two-year-old service dog Daisy allows her to be able to walk. She went with her husband to the Shanks Oral Surgery in Maryville. The couple says they encountered a problem they had never had.
"The receptionist stood up out of her chair, looked over the counter and said, 'Oh no you can't have that dog in here. You've got to get her out of here,'" said Jim Grabber. "Jody said, 'She's a service dog; she's got her vest on; she's under control."
Jim Grabber says the receptionist still made them leave.
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act website, service dogs are allowed in any area the general public is allowed to go.
"Under the ADA, State and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go. For example, in a hospital it would be inappropriate to exclude a service animal from areas such as patient rooms, clinics, cafeterias, or examination rooms. However, it may be appropriate to exclude a service animal from operating rooms or burn units where the animal's presence may compromise a sterile environment."
The Grabbers say they left the building but were denied access to the only exit without stairs.
"She was able to lean on a post and hang on to Daisy and I had to get down one step and she had to basically fall over on me to get her off the steps," said Jim Grabber.
WATE 6 On Your Side contacted Shanks Oral Surgery multiple times by phone and in person to try to get their side of the story, but was they did not want to talk at this time. A representative on the ADA hotline says they cannot determine whether Shanks Oral Surgery had the right to make the dog leave without a formal complaint.
Jody Harrison-Grabber says she has already filed the complaint and should hear back in three months.

Messi - No Maradona row
Argentina star Lionel Messi insists he has a 'fantastic' working relationship with Diego Maradona.
By Lucas Brown
Last Updated: 23/09/09 2:38pm
Argentina and Barcelona star Lionel Messi insists he has a 'fantastic' working relationship with Diego Maradona and has hit back at critics of his international form.
Messi has been infuriated by accusations that he has fallen out with national team boss Maradona during a stuttering World Cup qualification campaign.
After two defeats in September, Argentina have slipped to fifth in the South American qualifying zone and reports have surfaced that Messi and Maradona are not talking.
But Messi is adamant that he is still on good terms with Maradona and that the manager works well with the rest of the squad.
"It is not true that he does not speak to me," Messi told Argentinian radio.
"Our relationship is fantastic and he is great with all the players."
Cynics have accused Messi of not producing his club form when he plays for Argentina, but the playmaker says that a lack of practice hinders the team.
"You cannot compare because at Barcelona we train together every day and with the national team it is difficult to come together for two games and play very well," he said.
"It is true that at Barcelona I have great players next to me but there are also great players in the national team who can play like we do at Barcelona.
"But I cannot win a game on my own, far from it. It is the responsibility of the whole team and we have to go out to win every match."
Accusations that Argentina's European-based players are only motivated by money and are letting the national team down have also angered Messi.
"To say that is horrendous. We all feel the shirt and nobody likes to lose, even less so with the national team," he added.
"Saying it has to do with money is wrong. If we did not feel the shirt then we would not make the effort to play for Argentina and travel to Australia or wherever the team is playing.
"If it was an economic thing then every player would stay at home. The players in Europe all travel to play.
"Sadly the results are not going well and we are not playing well, but that will change.
"We cannot continue to talk all this rubbish. We have to remain calm. This is a country that loves football and we have to stick together."

Man Who Drove Teenage Girls to Prostitution, Drugs Sentenced to Five Years Behind Bars
Judges said the teenagers 'came from difficult backgrounds and were having trouble surviving,' and the defendant exploited them 'shamefully for his own needs.'
The Tel Aviv District Court yesterday slapped a five-year prison sentence on Shai Arbiv, who was convicted in a plea bargain of pimping three underaged girls and of hooking both them and four other girls on drugs. He was also fined NIS 10,000.
"It seems there's no need to waste words on the severity of the defendant's acts," the judges wrote in their verdict. "These are minors who came from difficult backgrounds and were having trouble surviving, yet the defendant did not hesitate to exploit them shamefully for his own needs."
Arbiv did not use force to get the girls to engage in prostitution, the judges noted; rather, he gained their consent by splitting the profits with them. But the very fact that he used girls aged 15 to 16 in such a fashion is sufficient testimony to the severity of his crimes, they said.
And as if all this were not enough, they concluded, "he pushed these girls, and other girls, into drug use." This combination of pimping and drug crimes "demands a painful and severe penalty."
Nevertheless, they acknowledged, there were some mitigating factors: that Arbiv's apartment served some of these girls as a refuge from terrible family or institutional situations; that he never used violence or force against them; and that he took responsibility and expressed regret for his actions.

Using the lake and its surroundings as props, lots of lights and hundreds of actors create a dazzling performance. Film director Zhang Yimou, who developed the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing has produced Impression West Lake. Similar performances are staged in Yangshuo and Lijiang.
Staged entirely upon the lake itself (a stage has been built 3 centimeters below the surface), Impression West Lake is a performance of light, music, dance and theater. Drawing on classical myths and legends of West Lake, the show follows a thousand-year dream.
A special auditorium and state of the art sound system make the performance easy to see and hear. If you are looking for a special evening activity this is highly recommended.
Average time for this activity : 1 hrs
Opening hours : 7:45pm until 8:55pm with last admission at 9:15pm

Jayce Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello, I'm just a noob testing Mobafire. Use this build if you like it; it works for me.
This build is kind of like a Solo-top / Support / Tanky build. It has damage, aura, and armor/health all in one and is very effective. It's useful for team fights and 1v1's.
Pros / Cons
- Easy to pick off vulnerable opponents
- Great in team fights
- Great starter
- Easy to farm due to your AoE
- No problem escaping from tight situations
CONS- Mana hungry
- Low range in cannon form
- Not really tanky at the start but progresses

Bears vs Packers: Five Questions with Lombardi Ave
To help us prepare for the 193rd meeting of Bears vs Packers, we enlisted the help of Josh McPeak of Lombardi Ave for our weekly Five Questions post.
It's the 193rd meeting of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, the oldest rivalry in the NFL. On paper, it looks like this should be an easy win for the 3-2 Packers, but the Bears are winners of two of the last three at Lambeau, so you can throw out the records for Bears vs Packers on Thursday night.
With the First Pick 4w
Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Chicago Bears
More headlines around FanSided:
4w – College Football Game Preview: #11 Texas vs Cal7w – Jeremy Langford: A legtimate fantasy football force in 20169w – Nick Chubb Belongs on the Top Running Back Prospect Radar10w – The Biggest Pro Football Hall of Fame Snub From Every Team13w – College Football Preview: Baylor Bears
There are rumblings that Aaron Rodgers is on the decline with the Packers ranked 25th in yards per game while the Brian Hoyer-led Bears are ranked 7th with over 375 yards per game. Is this the game where Rodgers turns it around or does the Bears 11th ranked defense stifle Rodgers and the battered Packers offense, who will rely on recently acquired Knile Davis and receiver-turned-running back Ty Montgomery to hold down their running back position with Eddie Lacy and James Starks set to miss the game?
On the other side of the ball, it looks like the Packers will be without their top three cornerbacks. Can Brian Hoyer and Alshon Jeffery cash in on some opportunities to exploit a battered Packers secondary? It's a bummer that former Packer Josh Sitton will miss the game with a bum ankle. What really happened between Sitton and the Packers that led him to be cut and scooped up by the Bears? Who's an under the radar player who might have an impact on Thursday's game?
To help us answer these questions and get a Packers insider's point of view, we enlisted the help of Josh McPeak from our FanSided sister site Lombardi Ave. Check out his answers to our Five Questions.
1. Are we all witnessing the decline of Aaron Rodgers? What's up with the Packers offense? How will they attack the Bears defense?
A decline from recent years past -yes. An overall career decline -no. Everything up to this point has been somewhat easy for Rodgers. That is, once he was out of Brett Favre's shadow. Rodgers has also been on the short side of benefiting from a dominant run game. Teams are obviously trying to keep him in the pocket right now and enjoying some short term success.
If Rodgers is as smart as he claims to be, he should figure it out. I mean after all he scored a 35 on his Wonderlic Test compared to the 22 of Brett Favre. It also looks like Knile Davis will be the starting running back due to a rash of injuries at the position. It should be interesting.
2. The Packers are pretty banged up in the secondary. How will the Pack line up on Thursday night? Can Brian Hoyer and the Bears passing attack take advantage of the battered Packers secondary?
You will likely see a strong dose of Demetrius Goodson and LaDarius Gunter. Sam Shields is officially on the IR and both Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins are dealing with injuries. If there is ever a week for Brian Hoyer to take advantage of, it's definitely this week. Look for the Packers to apply heavy pressure from Clay Matthews, Nick Perry and Kyler Fackrell to compensate for the depleted secondary.
More from Bear Goggles On
3. It looks like the Bears will be without Josh Sitton on Thursday night after suffering an ankle injury late in the last game. He's been really outstanding since being a surprise cut by the Packers. What happened between the Sitton and the Packers? In hindsight, do you think they regret the move?
It depends on what you want to believe with Sitton. Was he last in the terms of upcoming contract negotiations, maybe. Was he on overly expressive veteran in a fairly young locker room, maybe. Some reports even have him saying completely unearthly things to Davante Adams. I honestly have no idea why they released him. Do they regret it? Absolutely not.
Lane Taylor could be the unsung MVP of this team. The struggles of Aaron Rodgers has nothing to do with the line play. At times it looks like Rodgers could make a sandwich and still get off a pass. This is not to mention the cap space it saved. Too bad he might miss his homecoming.
4. Who's an under the radar player who will have a big impact on Thursday night's outcome? Maybe you have one of offense and one of defense?
The Packers will be without Davante Adams and starting brand new running backs to the system. Hopefully a tight end steps up. More than likely it will be a receiver who receives extra opportunities. While given few chances this season after suffering a broken hand, look for Jeff Janis to step up. The Packers will look to stretch the field and he may be just the guy. As for the defense, I will go back to a guy I mentioned earlier. With a depleted secondary look for Kyler Fackrell to come after the quarterback early and often.
5. What's your prediction for the game? Please include a final score.
I think we both agree, Thursday night games need to go. After Sunday, it gives the teams virtually zero time to heal. Not to mention the Packers will be in all white. Aaron Rodgers has been struggling and will have to hand it off to brand new running backs. It has all of the makings for very ugly TV. The Bears are 1-5 while the Packers limp in at 3-2. This game might come down to the kickers.
I'll go Packers 20 Bears 17
A big thanks to Josh McPeak over at Lombardi Ave for his insight. Be sure to check them out for a look behind the Cheddar Curtain.

Shopping with Google Glass
Escrito por // Editor-in-Chief
ConAgra Foods, makers of Healthy Choice and Marie Callender's meals, created the video below to show what the future of shopping may look like from behind Google Glass. This is clearly not possible today but is within the realm of possibility for the near future.
I was annoyed they chose to follow two people instead of just one. I assume they did it to illustrate the conversation between the women, but it distracts from the overall shopping theme. If the conversation was that important, it would have been better to ask for product advice. I was more impressed with the voice response than the augmented reality aspects. Being able to direct commands to Glass vs people in the room is tough — usually you need to preface commands with a keyword or press a button.
Being able to overlay text on products is pretty tough as well. Today you'd need to use a barcode or marker of some sort because image recognition is just too unreliable, especially when all the products look similar. At best you can count the number of facing items and possibly recognize the brands.
Checkout was certainly fast! Surprised they didn't have to blink Morse Code for their PINs. All in all I thought most of what they accomplished would have worked well on their smartphones without Glass. It certainly has me thinking about the future.
Would have been funny to see one of the women run into an endcap because spam blocked her vision. Maybe next time.

Acorns taste like a cross between hazelnuts and sunflower seeds and were nearly as important a food to Native Americans as corn, squash and beans. Cherokee, Apache, Pima, Ojibwa, and most all other Native Americans tribes across the oak growing North and South America routinely harvested and used acorn nuts from oak trees and they taught early settlers how to harvest and use acorns, corn and other traditional foods too.

This hearty side dish includes pine nuts, which are a waist slimming MUFA. As a side dish, halve each half to yield 8 servings. Also yummy all by itself as a complete meatless meal! You can reduce the calorie count if you leave out the cheese or use reduced fat cheese, and it still tastes great!Submitted by: KKS5369

I was at the store and couldn't resist buying some beautiful squash while I was there. DBF loves pies so I made him this special treat. It was very well recieved and I can't wait to make this during Christmas when I go home to see my family. It takes a long time to make, but it is worth it.

Aboriginal Bicycle Safety Program Riding In To Condobolin and Lake Cargelligo
Pump up your tyres and dust off your seats, as Cycling Australia will be a hosting a number of free Aboriginal Bicycle Safety Programs across the region over the next two weeks.
Using Cycling Australia's successful Let's Ride program, these 3 hour sessions are designed to give participants a fun, interactive learning experience that teaches them to ride safely by developing their bike riding skills, knowledge and confidence.
These FREE programs will be instructed by Damien and Jenny Enderby, from the Let's Ride Newcastle Delivery Centre, and is targeted at Indigenous children aged 5-12 years old. Both Damien and Jenny have had extensive experience with bicycle education and were involved with the delivery of the program last year in other remote areas of NSW.
This year's Aboriginal Bicycle Safety Program will be held at 10 different locations across the Western Region, including Parkes, Peak hill, Condobolin, Lake Cargelligo and Forbes.
The Condobolin program will be held at Condobolin High School under the COLA, with access off Busby St, Sunday 22 January, 9am - 12pm and the Lake Cargelligo program will be held at the Lake Cargelligo Netball Courts, Monday 23 January, 9am - 12pm.
Parkes, Forbes and Lachlan Shire Councils' Road Safety and Injury Prevention Officer, Logan Dolbel said "During the three hour sessions, children will learn to recognise the importance of visibility while riding, where safe places to ride are and progressively develop and reinforce skills used in cycling".
"Additionally, kids will learn to recognise and follow road signs and road rules, correctly fit and wear a helmet, and be introduced to basic bike maintenance in keeping a bike road worthy," said Mr Dolbel.
Children are encouraged to bring along their own bikes, as a bike mechanic will be present at each venue to service the bikes, looking at common issues such as brakes, tyres, handle bar grips and pedals. A fleet of bikes will also be available for participants to use if required.
Each child will receive a free Indigenous designed helmet that will be distributed to the participants at the venue. Please remember to wear appropriate cycling attire, enclosed shoes and sunscreen.
For further information please contact Parkes, Forbes and Lachlan Shire Councils' Road Safety and Injury Prevention Officer, Logan Dolbel, on (02) 6861 2364.
