Fun way to profit
Posted By The Denver Post On May 30, 2007 @ 4:47 pm In In General | No Comments
A cardinal rule in showbiz is to never follow a child or an animal act.
Good thing there wasn't any big-name entertainment at the 2007 Youthof the Year Dinner because members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver stole the show — as did the purebred Labrador puppy that was on the auction block.
Dozens of young members performed dance routines for the 750-plus guests who'd gathered at the Donald R. Seawell Grand Ballroom on a recent Saturday night. And when the out-loud auction began, Labrador pup was in much demand, eventually selling for $4,000.
The auction, which also featured private-jet trips to Washington [1], D.C., to dine with Colorado [2] legislators, contributed $175,000 to the evening's $600,000 profit.
David and Bonnie Mandarich chaired the dinner event with John and Katy Shaw [3]. VIP guests included U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter; U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar and his wife, Hope Hernandez Salazar; and Steve McConahey [4], founder and chief executive of SGM Capital [5] and chairman of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver board.
In addition, Realtor Hanne Lichtenfels to help present a scholarship named for her husband, the late attorney and club supporter Reid Lichtenfels.
Youth of the Year honors went to 17-year-old Alexandria Batiste, who wowed the crowd as she saluted both her mother and grandmother and gladly accepted a challenge to mentor other young people. She spoke with poise and grace, then joined dozens of other club members to perform an interpretive dance that was part of the evening's entertainment.
The Champion of Youth award was given to Patrick Hamill [6], the founder, president and CEO of Oakwood Homes and a long-time supporter of the clubs. He is a past chair and current member of the Metro Denver board and has helped raise millions of dollars for the organization that serves 8,000 kids from low-income families.
Hamill was praised for his good corporate citizenship by Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter and McConahey.
"The continued growth of this event, both in attendance and the money we raise, is reflective of the growing realization by the good folks of this community of the huge need served by Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver," observed president and CEO Tim Sheahan.
Staples [7] was the event's Presenting Sponsor. Oakwood Homes was the Platinum Sponsor; Berenbaum, Weinshienk & Eason was the Diamond Sponsor; and CW2 was the Media Sponsor.
Gold Sponsors were the Alpert Corporation, Anschutz Foundation [8], Denver Broncos Football Club, First Western Trust Bank [9], FSN Rocky Mountain, the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado, Howell Construction, M.D.C. Holdings, Inc./Richmond American Homes, Steve & Kathy McConahey [10], and Wells Fargo Bank.

I live on the property and have my art studio here. I am around some days but also travel quite regularly.
The Neighborhood
We are located 5 minutes drive, 20 minutes walk out of the hustle and bustle of Ubud's thriving town centre, rich in culture and tradition. A quiet hideaway with breathtaking views, just a few doors up from the world renowned Indus Restaurant, one of the many sumptuous restaurants, warungs and cafes available to satisfy all dining requirements all within walking distance. If you are an art enthusiast, stroll the many neighbouring antique, artefact, art galleries and designer outlets.

There is plenty to see and do right on your doorstep, but if you want to take a trip into the centre of the spiritual arts culture that is Ubud, we can help you with a driver for a quick trip or all day tours or we can help you to rent a motorbike. Our friendly, easy going staff are more than happy to help.

We would appreciate an estimated arrival time. Please let me know if you would like airport pick up, charge is 350,000 rupiah for this service. You will need to give me your flight details and arrival times and you can pay our friendly and safe driver directly.
Sunrise Villa is a quiet, peaceful getaway, we kindly ask you to respect the beautiful tranquil vibes and refrain from anything that may disturb the peace.
No smoking in the rooms, but on your verandah is fine.
Sunrise Villa was a dream!!! The pool is set in paradise... The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is delicious!!! I loved every minute of it and didn't want to leave. I highly recommend this place. The location is away from all the hectic traffic in town so it's nice and peaceful :-) the perfect place to unwind. And there are lots of nice restaurants and spas within walking distance. I'll definitely be back!
Despite the late hour of our arrival, we were greeted warmly by the young Balinese man awaiting us. The room was very clean with tasteful decor. Beautiful views through the trees from Bamboo 4, with a peaceful setting. There are stunning views from Bamboo 2 (upstairs), though this room is close to the road with traffic noise.
There are no mosquito nets, so make sure the room is sprayed on arrival.
The staff are friendly, helpful and caring. We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Villas very much.
Superbe appartement a Ubud. L'équipe est géniale et très attentionné. la décoration de style balinaise et les équipement sont juste parfait ! La piscine est incroyable et disponible a toute heure.
Le petit déjeuné est parfaitement dosé et tout est fais pour un totale dépaysement et un relaxation totale.
Pensais a loué des scooter pour vous déplacer.
beautiful view!good for people who travel seeking peace. Room is very large. Better come with family or in couples.i am with my mom so feel kinda too spacious! Putu and Donna helped a lot. We really enjoyed staying there.
This place is amazing! Everything is exactly as described and photoed. The driver at the hotel is v friendly, professional and always gives great suggestions. The staff are friendly, the room is well kept and clean, the pool and garden is beautiful. Wonderful experience.
Sunrise Villa, overlooking the Campuhan valley is accommodation at its best. The villas nestle into the hillside surrounded by tropical gardens.Rooms are large with exquisite furnishings, beautiful four poster beds draped in mosquito nets, verandahs complete with day beds and the bathrooms have vast bathtubs. It was replenishing for body and soul to soak in the infinity pool looking out over the valley, surrounding frangipani trees dropping flowers into the pool.
The team at Sunrise are the best.They take so much pride in their work and environment and have created a beautiful haven. Breakfasts, served on the verandah were always thoughtfully presented and delicious.
The combination of the beautiful surrounds, exquisite villas and the friendliness and dedication to their work made this a special place to stay in Ubud.
Sunrise Villa is a 5 minute drive into Ubud or a 20 - 30 minute walk. If quiet and privacy is a priority this is a haven away from the busy centre of Ubud.
We had the most wonderful stay at Sunrise Villas! The room was huge and clean, the bed comfortable, all the staff incredibly friendly and helpful, the breakfasts tasty, the view beautiful and the pool picturesque.
At one point we got a flat tire 30 minutes out of town and someone from the Villas drove out to help us sort it out.
It's a beautiful location, reasonably priced and the staff go above and beyond. Get onto it!

I am an artist and I manage, book rooms, organise retreats and live at Sunrise Villa Bali.
We have a total of 11 rooms on a property that meanders down the valley to a jungle infinity pool, they vary in prices and style.
Until July 2014, the place was an ashram for the last twelve years, you can really feel that on arrival, its peaceful and with the traditional spacious houses with a feel of old Bali and bounty of nature all around, you can't help but to be inspired.
I love Ubud, the people, culture, art, spirit. It inspires me.
Sunrise Villa Bali is a natural, peaceful place.
I am passionate, dedicated, enthusiastic about the place and the staff that work here.
Bali is so good for me, because it makes me slow down and enjoy the moment!
I also like to practice yoga and meditation and learn alternative healing modalities.
We create our own reality, so lets make it beautiful!

As the nation celebrates their Independence today, Americans every where are heading to barbecues, picnics, parties, parades and firework shows. As the whole nation celebrates the 4th of July, NFL players are celebrating as well. On the 4th of July, some people like to wear their best red, white and blue stuff to show off their American spirit. One player wearing his American pride is Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden. Weeden took to Twitter earlier this morning to Tweet out this picture of his red, white and blue gear. It'd only be right to post this on this great American holiday!! Happy 4th of July to everyone!! pic.twitter.com/aYsorQB2Iq — Brandon Weeden (@bweeden3) July 4, 2013 On the 4th of July, as much as I love to be outside grilling, I love watching people in their red, white and blue stuff even more. Nice to see Weeden is having fun during the 4th of July holiday. The post Brandon Weeden shows off his American pride appeared first on DOWN & DISTANCE - Presented by Sports-Kings.

I was walking along the road on a Sunday morning with an elderly home, school and supermarket beside it. This small, white car slowed down beside me with it's windows rolled down and the young driver inside wasn't wearing any pants. He was masturbating and flashed his erected penis and smiled at me at the same time. I looked at him, wasn't shocked at all( I don't know why), looked away and kept walking. He drove back from the roundabout and smiled at me from the opposite direction of the road. This happened in Lucerne, Switzerland.
A year ago last September I was on a freshers night out and I kissed a guy a little older than me on the dance floor. I went to the toilets on my own, he followed me into the toilets and pushed me into a cubicle and locked the door behind him. He started trying to kiss me and tried touching me. I remember crying and women comforting me in. This happened in Pop world night club in Swansea, Wales.
I was working a small event at a park registering people to vote, and our local football grizzly bear mascot Monte slapped my butt. Because I was working I didn't say anything, considering the fact that my job was to appeal to those at the event. I wish I did though. A mask is not an excuse for assault!
I always wanted to be the progressive man— strong enough to open all of the pickle jars yet sensitive enough to cry during Toy's Story 3. I joined the Men against Patriarchy group on my college campus, attended panels about the experiences of women, was one of two men in my Feminist Psychology of Women class, and wrote my senior thesis on the destructive properties of Black heterosexual masculinity in American society. By any definition, I was on track to become an ally, or at least a man that feminists love.
However, social change cannot occur without action. Even though I have attended panel and read books, I have not consistently used my power to support the equity of women. I have sat silently while witnessing sexual assault in public in the name of sustaining the code of heterosexual men. Where do I even start? Before chaining myself to abortion clinics or fighting suspected aggressors on the street, I needed to identify how I contribute to our patriarchy.
Around this time of introspection, the infamous "10 hours walking around NYC as a woman" captured the attention of millions. Women effectively carved space for productive dialogue by sharing their personal encounters with street harassment. Although the video has its flaws—it ignored the racial and socioeconomic implications of framing white women as the victim and lower class men of color as the perpetrator—it illuminated a stark contrast between my experience and those of millions of women interacting with public space in New York City [NYC]. It further proved that headphones, novels, cellphones, "bitch faces", and even significant others are no match for the male need to express admiration for physical beauty. I am guilty of this as well, constantly thinking of clever ways to interrupt the morning commute of attractive women across NYC.
Recognizing my participation, I wanted to reverse my Pavlovian response to seeing a "beautiful" woman; how could I stop salivating long enough to notice that women are more than their beauty? Brainstorming with a close friend about this problem, I suggested doing a social experiment, in which I would document how often I referenced or thought about the physical appearance of women for seven days. She pushed back, suggesting that I make it public and attach a financial stipulation. Together, we transformed this desire to change into a tangible goal.
For one month, I would track any thoughts or references about a woman's physical appearance, donating $1 to an organization fighting against the effects of street harassment and violence. For accountability, I created a mobile spreadsheet for consistent tracking, enlisted several friends to check on me, and announced the challenge to my Facebook friends. Instead of growing my mustache for Movember, I decided to spend my month examining a large part of my masculine identity and checking my male privilege. November felt like the longest month of my life. From post-Halloween photos, cologne advertisements, alcohol commercials, food commercials, music videos, book covers, bartenders, cashiers, mothers, daughters; I found myself throwing money away. I second-guessed every word to make sure I created genderless conversations. Although difficult, it made me realize the importance of preserving another person's humanity. Everyone is fighting for acceptance based on his/her character rather than physical appearance. It made me work harder to connect with and learn about the values of others. It made me seek out the experiences and personal stories about harassment and the concept of beauty. At the end of the month, I had made 95 references or thoughts. I decided to round up to 100 and split the money between Safe Horizon, Collective Action for Safe Spaces, and Hollaback!, given each organization's role in supporting survivors of sexual harassment and assault.
Even though the month is over and the financial stipulations are gone, this work is not done. Although my eyes have been opened recently, I know that women have been grappling with these concepts for centuries. As a man, it is time for me to start listening and to stand behind those who have been on the front line all along.
As you finish reading this post, know that this challenge is for you. It is everyone's duty to assess his/her participation in the system. This challenge may not be as trendy as ice water buckets, but know that the consequences are just as jarring. If we do not call for change, the rights and safety of women will continue to depend on the benevolence of a man.
New York City, NY (15th December, 2014) – Two years ago, subway passenger Jasheem Smiley watched a man enter the subway, sit down next to a sleeping woman, put his hand up her skirt, and assault her. Smiley told The Gothamist "…When he started touching her that's when I turned my camera on. My jaw dropped. I had never seen anything like this before." The film went viral, however, despite the virality of the story, the woman in the video remained anonymous, until now. Today Elisa Lopez is coming forward with this video (also embedded below) telling her side of the story.
Lopez says, "My goal is to bring attention to how dangerous it is to be a bystander. I just want to tell my side of the story because all anyone saw was a drunken-skirt-wearing-Latina who 'shouldn't sleep on the train.' I was a human being that was violated and no one bothered to intervene."
The perpetrator is still at large, but today, Lopez has broken her silence and come forward with her account. She shares her story not only of what it was like to come to terms with her assault, but to have to contend with the eruption of media coverage that resulted in Smiley releasing his recording. Lopez didn't know she had been assaulted until she saw the media explosion over the recording.
Lopez concludes the video to thank "anyone who has ever told their story because it gave me the strength to tell mine." Hollaback!, the anti-street harassment organization mentioned at the end of the video, has collected over 8,000 stories of street harassment since their launch in 2005. Hollaback! has been working with Lopez over the past six months.
Emily May, executive director of Hollaback!, says, "What Elisa has done today in sharing her story is so powerful. We hear her, we believe her, and we are working alongside her to stand up to the harassment and assault so many New Yorkers face on a daily basis. While Elisa's story is shocking, it is not unique. We all need to take a stand against street harassment and assault and work to make our streets safer for everyone."
If you recognize Lopez's assaulter, please contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-577-tips.
Elisa, thank you for your courage in coming forward to share your story. Hollaback Vegas supports you!
You can watch Elisa's video below. **Trigger Warning** Sexual Assault
So glad to find out that an organization like Hollaback now exists. When I lived in New York, I was followed by men, got cat calls from men in cars and generally harassed on a daily basis. It never occurred to me at the time that it was a form of sexual harassment and in fact, could be dangerous. It is a form of power that some men use over single women. A woman walking alone is an easy target.
After awhile, it makes women afraid to be women. Just going to the grocery store becomes a drama filled occasion. It's not even about dressing sexy. Women get harassed in just a t-shirt and jeans.
The worse would be when I was groped in a crowd. It's hard because you really learn not to trust men. Then, you finally meet a good one, like my husband. I've always missed my time in New York, but now I remember how hard it can be.
It's hard to be a single woman in New York. Harassment is never cool. hollaback!
I was walking to the cinema at around 8pm when I passed a group of 6-8 young men that were bouncing a basketball. They started staring at me and yelling "hey, you" "hey, girl" so I told them to fuck off. They then threw a basketball at me, which hit the wall behind me and started telling me to get over there and fuck them. When they started walking closer I yelled "I have pepper spray and I will spray all of you" to which they replied by calling me a "spicy mama" and then rambling in spanish.
A guy singing lady in red at me loudly.
I live in Caracas Venezuela, i see and experienced this type of verbal herrasment every day in the street, the first time was on the subway that some ramdom guy told me to smile, i was so mad

Dewy butterfly
minrose(4Mn)February 5, 2012
A couple summers ago, one early morning while walking through our vegie garden I found this dewy butterfly, had to go get my camera, of course. It was so full of dew, it could not fly away so I was able take alot of shots.
This was very early morning like just as the sun rose, I can only guess the butterfly was there overnight resting.
It could not have flown like that all dewy, I was there for quite awhile taking photos and got pretty close, close enough that it would have flown away if it could. I am sure the butterfly had been there all night.

The box was addressed to Arpaio at his Phoenix headquarters, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office officials said in a statement obtained by Fox News.
Authorities in Flagstaff, a city in Northern Arizona, x-rayed the box and determined it contained an explosive device. A bomb squad was deployed and neutralized it.

Appeal from Commissioner of Police
CHENNAI: Commissioner of Police R. Sekar has appealed to the people to avoid bursting powerful firecrackers such as 'atom bomb' as it would cause high-pitch sound disturbing public peace.
In a press release, Mr. Sekar said crackers should be burst only between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. as per the directions of the Supreme Court.
Firing of 'rocket' cracker was banned near huts and high-rise buildings.
While avoiding bursting of firecrackers near combustible materials, due care should be taken to educate children on the seriousness involved in fire accidents caused by firecrackers.
Those selling firecrackers should not use chimneys or candles in the shop, Mr. Sekar said.
Bursting of firecrackers would not be allowed in the one-km radius of hospitals and nursing homes, he added.

Eric Holder Says He Regrets Lying To A Judge And Saying A Reporter Was A 'Co-Conspirator' But The Law Made Him Do It
from the uh,-no-it-didn't dept
But it's the other journalist where things get a bit dicier. That's Fox News reporter James Rosen (note the different letter from Risen). Rosen, you may recall, had his phone, email and security badge records grabbed by the government, after the DOJ told a court that Rosen wasn't a reporter, but "an aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator" in the "crime" of leaking classified information about North Korea from the State Department. It later came out that the DOJ actually pretended Rosen was involved in a bombing in its motions to the court.
Holder was asked if there was a decision during his tenure that he regretted, and he brought up the Rosen story:
Holder: I think that -- I think about the subpoena to the Fox reporter, Rosen. I think that I could have been a little more careful in looking at the language that was contained in the filing that we made with the court. He was labeled as a -- as a co-conspirator. I mean, you had to do that as a result of the statute, but there are ways in which I think that could have been done differently, done better. And that's one of the reasons why I thought the criticism that we received because of that -- and the AP matter as well -- was something that we had to act upon and why we put in place this review of our -- the way in which we interact with the media.Except, as Julian Sanchez points out, that's completely bogus. Holder claiming they had to do that because of the statute is flat out opposites-ville. They had to do that because the statute doesn't allow them to spy on journalists. The law was designed to stop the DOJ from spying on journalists, and so the only way to break that was to lie to the court. The law in question -- 18 USC 793 is designed to only apply to the people actually committing the crime of leaking defense information -- and not to reporters.
Holder claiming that the statute effectively "forced" him into declaring Rosen a co-conspirator is ridiculous. The statute compels him not to seize Rosen's records. Holder is admitting that the DOJ lied to the court here and trying to blame the statute for that lie. That's astounding.

Innotech Solutions' rotating feed distributor
Innotech Solutions, LLC, says field testing shows that its new rotating feed distributor offers a return on investment in less than three months. The unit helps distribute feed in a cone crusher to create even crushing all around the cavity. Advantages include higher product tonnage, better liner use, lower amp draw, and elimination of crusher abuse. In addition, the company says its turbocharge kits for Symons cone crushers increase a crusher's ability to absorb more power, which means up to 20 percent more product tonnage and improved particle shape.

Hey guys, I hope this allowed, I have never used this website before so I wasn't really sure what this was going to do. So this is just a test post. I really like this forum, it has some excellent discussions that take place.

Can anyone recommend some good beauty sites out there? I read the makeup and beauty blog and the MUA boards but I don't know of any other good sites. This site just has too much celeb gossip and not enough beauty info for my liking.

Very impressed with the staff who did all they could to ensure that you enjoyed your stay. The room was large, very clean and comfortable. The manager's happy hour had the desired effect and added to the friendly nature of the place!
I LOVE MY STAY, rooms are clean, good customer services, I really feel like home!! girls at from desk are very nice, the food is great and I really have a great time staying at the embassy Suites, Alabama. I recommend this hotel to family trips and business.
Review collected in partnership with Embassy Suites Hotels
A very nice visit, with very helpful staff. Rooms were clean and pleasant. The pool was nice, a little over crowded, but it was a busy weekend. Parking was a little confusing, but the staff was helpful in taking care of the issues. Overall an excellent place to stay.
Staff was friendly, hotel was full but well prepared for it. Room was nice and spacious. Everything was clean. Manager's happy hour (free beer, wine, and snacks) was prefect for a group gathering. Two problems, even though the room could sleep 6, only 3 towel sets were provided daily. Second, no outside beer was aloud in the lobby. Other than...

We selected this hotel for it's location and brand. We have had good luck with Embassy Suites in the past. Not here. We were greeted at the desk by a disheveled clerk who's zipper was open and looked as if we had "interrupted" something. He sold us parking for $10 only to tell us it was full and we had...

Happy with service and room size. I will say the location is good if you don't want a bypass hotel. Very large room 707. The furniture is a it dated.
The only real negative was both the water pressure and the temp. It took a very long time for water to heat up( never really did ) and then it...

My mother and I stayed at this location in late February 2015. We had a very good time. The room was nice and service was excellent. On our last day, we were leaving and we needed to get a lot of luggage and a scooter into a small SUV. Marcus and Sonya did a very good job of loading up...

Each and every employee was great! Very polite and attentive. We ordered a pizza from the restaurant and it was really good. They were very nice to accommodate my elderly mother in order to get a room closer to the elevator. Highly recommend.

The hotel is located right downtown and appears to be somewhat outdated inside. Parking is not expensive, but inconvenient, if the parking lot in front is full, you will need to park in the nearby garage that does not appear neither safe nor convenient to the hotel.
Breakfast: while the cooked to order was decent, I personally was absolutely disgusted...
My wife and I stayed here last Saturday evening and were very happy with the room. We got a two room suite which was very clean. The room was quiet. The pool was a really nice, saltwater pool, and the workout room was awesome with great equipment. One of the best things was the breakfast-almost anything you could want. My...

Tomato rotting from top??
Tomatoes in raised beds, every year getting worse, I do legumes in the winter, fava, peas etc. And I really have no choice re rotating crops, as this is the only space I have. After this year, thinking giving up on tomatoes, but there are people in my area who have GREAT backyard tomatoes using the same space repeatedy EERR.
Anyways this year I kept the powdery mildew in control using the Cornell spray formula. I experimented using the serenade fungus spray, on three plants , and those were the ones that gave up the ghost first!
Symptoms are, good beginning growth, til about 24 inches tall, then wham, very little grow, slow set, and die off of leaves and flower sprays. The few tomatoes that set and grew to normal size are hit with rot from the stem end just before ripening.
It has been a cold and foggy summer here this year, so
we did try oregon spring, SF fog etc. They did no fruit at all. The best growers were the zebras, a few brandywines, chocoate cherries, and lemon salad size.
What disease causes that type of fruit rot? I can post pics, but I bet someone here knows without even seeing more phtos of sad tomato plants,
thanks for any advice!!

Some people are claiming that Alaska is experiencing some kind of salmon crisis but is that what is really happening? If there were a real salmon crisis most would expect the blame to be directed towards either a freshwater or saltwater source problem. Freshwater fishermen would claim the problem to be in the saltwater and saltwater fishermen claim it to be in the freshwater. Some even see it as all sides just catching to many fish.
There is absolutely no valid reason to ban bait and hooks for silver, humpback and sockeye salmon fishing in the lower Kenai River between Aug. 2 and 14 this year.
Many Alaskans are wondering what can or should be done to resolve the decline in king salmon within the Cook Inlet area. If you ask the Alaska Department of Fish and Game they will point to a snowstorm of data and graphs, which in the end leaves the viewer even more confused about our commercial by-catch problems. I have been reviewing our king loss data since 2002 and have come to a single conclusion.
Managing king salmon stocks on the Kenai River is not a job for the faint hearted. From 1980 to 1990 our Kenai River king runs were much more predictable than today.
Dear Senator Lesil McGuire,
I see your SB 24, An Act establishing the Sport Fishing Guide Services Board, SFGSB.
I began sportfish guiding on the Kenai River back in 1979. All I needed back then was a $10 sport fishing license and a boat in order to guide. I charged $50 per client back then when fuel costs were around a couple dollars per gallon.

The latest European Cloud Adoption and Risk Report surveyed approximately 1.6 million cloud users. It discovered that the average number of cloud services used by the average company has increased by 23% in 2014.
The report found that fewer than 10% of these services meet the 'most stringent' security requirements while 74% of clouds services used by European firms do not meet the EU's Data Protection Directive's regulations.
A key challenge is that employees are using services without the express knowledge or support of their IT departments. This trend to 'Shadow IT' services poses enormous security risks to businesses.
In one case highlighted by the report one single employee uploaded over 17GB of sensitive data to 71 high risk cloud services over three months.

His article 'IT project prioritization: A practical application of knowledge management principles' appeared in our December 2013 issue and was voted the best paper of 2013 by the Editors and members of the Editorial Advisory Board.
Chris works for Tullow Oil, a London-based independent oil and gas exploration and production company which regularly wins awards for its innovative approach to problem solving.

Chris's article explains the approach developed and how it is working to keep the business's IT strategy aligned with Tullow's entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to collaborative decision making.
To celebrate the Prize SAGE is making the article freely available – simply follow this link.

Connectivity deficit costs UK £30 billion a year
According to research undertaken by O2 and the Centre for Economic and Business Research, British business is paying a high price for poor connectivity.
A survey of 1000 middle managers found that:
· 80% of administrative staff don't have remote access to key business systems
· Improved connectivity could save each employee up to 127 hours of travel per year
The report states that organisations should work hard to improve connectivity to:
· Eradicate needless journeys
· Provide better access to information 'anywhere' to enable employees to make better use of time and increase productivity
· Improve the efficiency of meetings, in particular saving workers over 50 hours a year in wasted follow up activities
· Improve customer service and increase sales with real-time information.

IT project prioritisation - a practical application of knowledge management principles
What happens when you devolve IT project prioritisation to non-IT business leaders?
Tullow Oil, a leading independent oil and gas exploration and production group, did just that. The approach reflected its commitment to collaborative decision making.
Chris Rivinus describes how Tullow Oil made this approach work in his article in the December 2013 issue of Business Information Review. Astonishingly, they devised a system which enabled 15 very busy people, with diverse backgrounds, based in different continents, to reach decisions on projects even if they had little technical expertise. And they do this in an hour a month!
The article describes the processes and templates used and describes the guiding principles that make the approach work, including:
- Snap-shot decision making
- Trust their gut
- Simplicity
- Visualise with data and text detail as backup

Sevilla miss chance to climb
Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:52:00
Sevilla missed the chance to claim a share of third place in the Primera Division as they were beaten 2-0 by Celta Vigo in Galicia on Friday.
Iago Aspas' penalty on the hour and Enrique de Lucas' 85th-minute clincher did the job at Balaidos.
Paco Herrera's side move into the top half as a result of the win, and few could take issue with their performance as they dominated throughout.
The goals of Alvaro Negredo have been crucial to Sevilla's start to the season, and Celta did well to keep him away from the action for most of the night.
He did serve early warning with a sixth-minute riser, but Celta came into the game after that and Gustavo Cabral should have done better with a close-range header.
Baba Diawara and Park Chu-young then traded efforts, with Park drawing a save out of Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop, before Alex Gomez whistled a 25-yarder just wide of his goal.
The same player then had an effort blocked by Alberto Botia, and the home side's pressure continued after the break as Aspa worked Palop from outside the area.
Their dominance paid off on the hour, too, as Aspas put them ahead from 12 yards after Hedwiges Maduro handled the same player's edge-of-the-box free-kick.
Sevilla realised a response was necessary and Jose Antonio Reyes took aim from 30 yards, while Negredo did the same to no effect.
Manu then forced Sergio Alvarez into his first save of the night with a header and, having rode the storm, Celta killed their opponents off as De Lucas broke on to Augusto Fernandez's pass to finish things off from just inside the area.

Ali Mahmoud Taha
Ali Mahmoud Taha (Arabic: علي محمود طه) (1901–1949) was an Egyptian romantic poet. He has been called several nicknames, such as: The Engineer and The Lost Sailor.
Nevertheless, Taha was not as immersed in romanticism as Ibrahim Nagi and Mohammad al-Hamshari.
Furthermore, Taha's poets were politically-colored, but even provocative and patriotic, despite his death, which was before the 23rd-of-July Revolution.
Taha was born to a family of the middle-class in Mansoura, in Delta, Egypt. more »

A Rustic Song
When the water caresses the shade of the tree,
And the clouds court the light of the moon,
And the birds send forth their song
To re-echo between dew and blossom;
And the ringdove laments her passion,
Cooing to her love and breeze pass over the Nile,
Kissing every passing sail;
And the earth brings forth from its night
Beauties of manifold shape;
And when a willow stands in the darkness,
Hidden as if unknown to night
There in its shade I take my place,
With heart distraught and saddened gaze.
I let my eyes wander through the skies,
