Breaking: Israel's Coalition Government Begins to Take Shape, Tzipi Livni's Left-Wing Hatnua Party First To Sign On

By Maya Shwayder | February 20, 2013 4:19 AM EST
Tzipi Livni, former Foreign Minister and head of the once-powerful left-wing opposition party Kadima, will join the newly forming coalition government led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud-Beiteinu party.
Livni will be the Minister of Justice, and in charge of peace talks with the Palestinians. Her second-in-command in the party, Amir Peretz, will become Minister for Environmental Protection.
According to the coalition agreement, Livni will still have to coordinate any talks with Netanayhu, and any new deals or resolutions will have to be approved by the government and by an open vote in the Knesset.
Livni's has adopted a rather pro-peace talk and two-state solution stance on the Palestinian question in the past, a position that may be at odds with the feelings of some of the new, more right-wing members of the Knesset.
But the agreement is a good deal for Livni, whose liberal HaTnua (The Movement) party holds only six seats in the Knesset. When she was head of Kadima with 28 seats, Livni chose to stay in the opposition.
No other parties or appointments have been confirmed yet.
"It's up in the air with everyone still," said Jonny Daniels, a consultant for Likud-Beiteinu. "We have talks going on with every party. But by bringing in Livni, he's [Netanyahu] creating the broad coalition that he talked about creating."
But the agreement with Livni is just the beginning, and now the pressure is turned up on everyone.
"This is only a portion of what Bibi [Netanyahu] needs to make a coalition, and it's a clear direction," said Daniels. "It's surprising that she's the first party when Bibi has more natural partners. He's knocking everyone's prices up."
Now parties like the right-wing Jewish Home, led by Naftali Bennett, or the more religious parties like Shas, will probably feel the heat, especially while the Knesset's new golden boy, Yair Lapid, head of the centrist Yesh Atid party, is still in play.

A Victoria Cross, awarded to an Australian soldier for his valour at Gallipoli in the first world war, was sold yesterday for a record A$1m (£405,000). The buyer preferred to remain anonymous, but it is expected that the medal, awarded to New Zealand-born Captain Alfred Shout in 1915, will go on permanent display at the Australian War Memorial. It was the last privately owned Gallipoli Victoria Cross in Australia and exceeded the anticipated price by about 50%. Capt Shout's grandson, Graham Thomas, decided to sell the medal to finance his grandchildren's education.

Boy George: It would be really good if Bowie wins
Boy George told ITV News it would be "really good" if David Bowie wins a Brit Award tonight "because all pop music at the moment is centred around a certain demographic".
"Basically in this country if you're over a certain age you won't get played on Radio One which is shocking - this sort of idea that if you're past 30 you're not relevant, it's a cliche!"
The singer said he "hopes" Bowie wins his first Brit in nearly 20 years.
"I think it would be the right thing", he said. "I think everybody would be so happy if he wins - I think there will be a big, big, huge roar of approval if he wins".

GLADEWATER, TX (KLTV) - Some East Texas school districts say it's more government intrusion for them, after a federal mandate takes effect that could cost your kids more in the lunchroom. The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 forces schools to raise the price of school lunches for kids who pay, to equal the value of lunches given to kids who don't pay.
It's all tied to federal reimbursement for lunches that schools give to needy students.
Families who qualify can get free meals for their kids from schools. Now the USDA is telling schools to raise prices on meals on children who actually pay. In layman's terms, the districts have to raise the prices on the meals they charge for students who can afford them to equal the value of the meals that they give to students who can't afford them.On average schools are reimbursed by the government $2.76 per meal for students on the free meal program. Many are concerned for parents who could afford it before, but may not now.The bottom line is, if schools want to get reimbursed for the cost of free meals, they have to go along.Some parents and school administrators worry that more control is on the horizon.
Both Hallsville and Gladewater school districts have raised the price of their meals by 25 cents, and say they will slowly add to the price until the reach the mandate price.

Manager Interview (Neutral Experience; Average Interview)
I applied through a recruiter - interviewed at Intuit in February 2009.
Interview Details – I had 3 interviews, 1:1 style with 3 different managers. They all seemed to ask me similar questions, but in different words. Recruiter contacted me throughout the process.
Interview Question – The way the questions were framed was the most unexpected. They are looking for answers to be given in the context of what you did or how you handled a specific situation, not just in general context. Answer Question
Accepted Offer
Neutral Experience
Easy Interview
Manager Interview (Neutral Experience; Easy Interview)
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Intuit in April 2009.
Interview Details – The hiring process consisted of interviews with the HR manager, the director, VP, financial manager, and the team I would manage. Ten hours total and three separate days. The interviewers seem unprepared, and weren't able to answer basic questions like what a typical day would be like for the position or what the top priorities are the first few months.
Interview Question – No really difficult questions. The group interview of my direct reports was the hardest because some of the people had applied for the job. Mostly they were concerned with moral because the climate had been dysfunctional (severely) and they wanted a positive boss.ering boss. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Not much of a negotiation. I got a small sign on bonus, but was hired in way lower than mid range (found out later), because the hiring person wasn't honest in the negotiations.

Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
Manager Interview (Positive Experience; Difficult Interview)
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Intuit.
Interview Details – Initial phone screen with a recruiter, learned about the details of the position, what the manager wants, why it's open. 30 minute phone screen with the manager- dug into my background and their expectations, team dynamics. Then an in person interview, meeting with 5 people 1on1 for 45 minutes each. It was great. Not intimidating but they asked the right questions. Told me everything I could want to know about the team, company, likes, dislikes etc.
Interview Question – be prepared to discuss specific examples of your past performance. You can't sugarcoat it, they want to know examples, how you handled it, what the outcome was. No right/wrong answers, I think they want to see your approach. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – very straight forward. Had discussed salary with the recruiter in my initial conversations

Neutral Experience
Average Interview
Manager Interview (Neutral Experience; Average Interview)
I applied in-person and the process took a day - interviewed at Intuit in March 2009.
Interview Details – Intuit bases all interview question on the "s.t.a.r.s" approach. Answer every question with a situation, the task, what you attempted to do or the action, what were the results of those actions. Do that for every question and you are fine. Most questions are sophmoric. They barely follow-up. They read a guide and most likely you will get the same variation of the question over and over
Interview Question – Tell me a time you did something and the results were not favorable Answer Question

Average Interview
Manager Interview (Neutral Experience; Average Interview)
The process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Intuit in October 2007.
Interview Details – Intuit's interviewing process can be very long, so be prepared. I was a returning Intuit employee who had been away from the company for a few years. Even so, from beginning to end it took almost a month to get through the interviews, receive an offer, and get hired.
The interviewers were prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and seemed genuinely interested in my background and what value I could bring to Intuit. One of the things I did that really struck a chord with people I interviewed with was I took the specifics of the job description (what they were looking for) and broke it up into segments. I put that into a table and then in the right column, I listed exact experience I had that related directly to that portion of what they were looking for. I had enough copies of those to staple to my resume. That went over very well, as then people didn't have to take as many notes and they could reference it easily later.

Negative Experience
Average Interview
Manager Interview (Negative Experience; Average Interview)
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Intuit.
Interview Details – Lengthy interview process - took around 3-4 weeks to get through everyone. Rather than schedule multiple interviews in a single day, I was scheduled for 3 or 4 half day interviews. Everyone was friendly and seemed genuinely interested in having me join the team. One person even went to another team and suggested that they chat with me about another similar role. Things seemed to go quite well and I progressed to the final interview with the hiring manager. The recruiter contacted me a few weeks after my last interview to inform me that I was one of two finalists and to make sure that I was still interested. I was told that a decision would be made within a few weeks once the hiring manager returned, but I never heard anything from Intuit after that and was unable to get in contact with the recruiter. It would have been a nice professional courtesy if they had either proactively notified me or returned my inquiry as I was entertaining other offers. I know that I ensure that the lines of communication are open when I am hiring and bring a candidate that far through the process. An otherwise positive interview process was scarred by the lack of communication.
Interview Question – The interview questions were of the typical situational variety. Nothing was extremely difficult. Answer Question

Manager Interview (Positive Experience; Average Interview)
I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Intuit in January 2011.
Interview Details – Extremely professional conduct by the recruiter as well as the interviewer. Recruiter went through a basic checklist. Scheduled phone interview with hiring manager which lasted approximately 30 minutes. Interview was mostly behavioral.
Recruiter got back to me the following day via email next day with reject.
Advise: Prepare for behavioral interview. Ensure you have sufficient examples from most recent job.

Coping With Kids' Expensive Extracurricular ActivitiesStory | Aug 14, 2013 | 9:57 AMWhen budgeting for back-to-school expenses, parents generally include routine fare like clothes, school supplies and maybe a new backpack. But if your kids participate in extracurricular activities, whether it's sports, music lessons or art classes, you could be on the hook for hundreds -- or even thousands -- of dollars in additional expenses throughout the year if you're not careful.

Review The Song (18)
Notes the words in the brackets are sung in the background.
Soul to Soul (Soul to soul)
Sooooul mmmh..mmmh..mmmmmmh
Oh whoa whoa (soul to soul)
Piece of newspaper…At my feet
We go blowing down the street
Got out stories…old and new
Need someone to tell 'em to
We don't have to be eye to eye (face to face)
I'm not asking for miracles ( nor saving grace)
And I don't need another heart (to have and hold)
All I want is a friend I can talk to (soul to soul)

Like a notebook…On a shelf
Tired of talking to myself
Wishing somebody (somebody) passing by (passing by)
Would pick me up and look inside
We don't have to be eye to eye (or face to face)
I'm not asking for miracles… (miracles…or saving grace)
And I don't need another heart… (I don't need another heart…to have and hold)
All I want is a friend I can talk to (soul to soul)
soul to soul Oh… (soul to soul…soul to soul)
Everyone needs someone to turn to
When they walk in their line (got to hold that line)
And we all need a friend we can cry to
And I'm out on that line (I'm on that line)
It's been so long now…you know I'm needing mine,
Oh whoaaaa…whoaaaa…whoaaa..
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
All I want is a friend I can talk to (woe woe woe woe soul to soul)
I just call and there you are (soul to soul)
Shining on me like a star (shining down)
Smile in my direction in the night (oooooh oooooh oooooh)
And I feel your light yeah (oh oh soul to soul)
I'm feeling stronger now, so much stronger now (soul to soul)
Won't you shine a little longer, a little longer right now
I'm still holding that line (got to hold that line) yeah
Keep me holding that line
Oh oh my…
We don't have to be eye to eye (or meet face to face)
I'm not asking for miracles (or saving grace)
And I don't need another heart (to have and hold)
All I want is someone I can talk to (soul to soul)
Oh I need a friend right now
(sooooul to soul) *repeat in background till end of song
Someone I can talk to
I'm feeling lonely right now (right now baby)
I just need to know you're there anytime of the day and night
I need somebody who's willing to listen
Shining, shining, shining, shining so brightly right now
I feel like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders
So much soul
Does anyone hear me calling…

Talking soul to soul | Reviewer: David Kimotho | 3/21/13
The temptations have great ballads and "Soul to Soul" is definitely in my top ten list. This is the definition of poignant lyrics intertwined with smooth harmonies and music. The world would be a better place if we shade off all artificiality and spoke to one another soul to soul.

Hmmm, I heard this song for the first time on a friends phone once and immediately fell inlove wit it. Met my soon to be husband a few months after that, and coincidently he played me the song and said it's his favourite too, he loves the song it's his theatre system alarm tone. He is 15 years my senior yet we both understand the song exactly the same way. That's wat I love about the song. Doesn't matter who you play it too, one can't help but just love the song!
Soul to Soul | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/16/11
A friend of mine suggested I listen to this song in their car about 2 weeks ago and I have not been able to stop playing it. It is now "our" song. Since then before going to bed we listen to the song and just comment about how the lyrics apply to our lives. I cannot think of a more powerful, well written song and the video cements all the emotions that it depicts. A song for the ages. S2S

BEAUTIFUL SINGING/BEAUTIFUL MUSIC | Reviewer: Tia Mataitoga | 4/14/11
When I first heard it, it just appealed to my heart. Its just plain, beautiful singing. When I later watched the video clip, I just couln't stop crying because of its universal theme and of the deep,enriching message that it portrays.
There is just complete harmony between the voices and the instruments. The lyrics are very powerful and one cannot avoid being touched by it. We need more singing like this.

Zappos Tests a Digital Personal Assistant
Online retailer Zappos has unveiled a new service that aims to help shoppers find specific products by taking item requests in the form of images.
The new service, aptly called Ask Zappos, is like a digital personal assistant who will help customers track down specific items even if the retailer doesn't have the items in their online store.
The new service takes these requests in the form of images. Customers can either text a photo, email a photo to firstname.lastname@example.com, post the photo on Instagram with the hashtag #AskZappos, or upload the photo on the Ask Zappos web page. In addition to the photo, customers can include a short description of what they are looking for in the photo – a certain print, pattern or combination of colors, for example. The Ask Zappos service will try to find the exact item and even provide links to a few alternatives that look similar or carry the same style.

Target Lets You Shop Directly off Print Ads
Target has launched "In a Snap", a new mobile app that allows shoppers to buy products off the retailer's print ads simply by taking their picture. The technology wasdeveloped in-house at Target by the company's marketing team and Rapid Accelerated Development technology team.
The image recognition app allows customers to skip more complicated QR Codes and links to access product information and then purchase. It now works in current ads for Target's Room Essentials, appearing in issues of Architectural Digest, Domino, Real Simple an more, as well as in Target's back-to-school catalog and on store signs at the Target Express store in Minneapolis.
The app, for now, is in a sort of beta mode. If it fares well this season, Target may continue using it in future campaigns.

An Upper Limit For Apps?
There are now well over a million mobile applications in both Google Play and the iTunes App Store alike, and growth of those app marketplaces shows no sign of slowing down. However, according to new data from Nielsen, there may be an upper limit to how many apps people will interact with over the course of a month, and that number – just over a couple dozen – hasn't grown much over the past few years.
According to Nielsen, U.S. iPhone and Android users over 18 have been increasing the time they spend using mobile applications, which is up 65 percent over just two years ago. In the last quarter of 2013, for example, users spent 30 hours, 15 minutes using apps per month. That's a full half-day more than the 18 hours, 18 minutes they spent per month in Q4 2011, the new report notes. […]
What's interesting is how little the number of apps used per month has changed over this same period of time, however. In Q4 2011, the average number of apps used per month was 23.2. The following year (Q4 2012) it grew to 26.5, and as of Q4 2013 it was just 26.8. […]
Nielsen found that social networking and search apps still dominate the time we spend in smartphone applications - even more so than games – accounting for nearly 11 hours per month as of Q4 2013. Gaming and other entertainment (including video and audio) grew 71 percent year-over-year to account for 10 hours, 34 minutes. […]
Even though older users may not have as much time to spend using apps per month, that usage is still quite significant. For instance, those aged 55+ today spend more than 21 hours across 22 apps per month. It's this kind of trend that's having an impact outside of the app universe as well, as apps have begun to eat into the time we would have spent on other leisure activities, like reading books or watching TV.
The question for mobile companies today is no longer just how to get installed, but how to become one of those some half-dozen apps that gets used monthly.

WhatsCook Teaches How To Cook In Real Time
Mayonnaise brand Hellmann's creates a live recipe service that lets users chat with real chefs or an expert cooking team and learn how to prepare meals in real time using the WhatsApp chat.
Users just have to send their number via WhatsCook's website and a specialized cooking team gets in touch with them to find out when they need help with. After setting a schedule they can then chat via WhatsApp and start cooking.
Users can request for any type of dish – be it a meal that takes about an hour to prepare or a dish that only takes a few minutes. Users can send the WhatsCook team a photo of his fridge with the available ingredients he has and the team can help him come up with a recipe. The one catch to it is that all the recipes will include mayonnaise.
WhatsCook's cooking team and chefs are available from Monday to Friday, between 12 noon and 2 PM for lunch and between 7 and 10 PM for dinner.

App Provides Personal Buying Assistant
Buying online may be more convenient than a trip to the shops, but for many it's still far from a pain-free process. Fetch is a personalized shopping app which will search for items sent in via text, voice memo, or photo, and then purchase the product on behalf of the requestor at the best price.
To purchase an item using Fetch, users first enter details of the product they are looking to buy, specifying brand, size, color, quantity and/or shipping speed. A team of crowd-sourced professional shoppers will identify the product and hunt down the lowest price online — they'll even check for coupon codes available. The Fetch team will then place the order on the users behalf.
Users can add additional instructions before committing to "Buy Now", and upon completion of the order they'll receive an e-commerce receipt directly from the retailer.

High-Tech Mannequins Send Outfit Details To Shoppers
VMBeacon is a new product that enables store mannequins to transmit information or 'talk' to smartphones about the clothes on display, sending alerts about the outfit and accessories on display.
Launched by UK startup Iconeme, the technology uses an adaptation of Apple's iBeacon hardware they describe as, "a class of low-powered, low-cost transmitters that can notify nearby iOS7 devices of their presence."
What's unique about this version of the technology is that the information transmitted via the VMBeacon is not contained on the mannequin but within the cloud, which means it can be programmed remotely. Shoppers with the app, which is yet to be released, within a 100m radius of the VMBeacon receive notifications about the clothing and accessories on the mannequin. The notifications include information such as prices, links to purchase online from the retailer's website or simple directions as to where the products are in the store.

Shoppers Like High Street Stores That Have A Mobile App
66% of consumers in the US are more likely to shop at a store that has a useful mobile app. This figure rises to 84% when app "power users" – the 25 per cent of consumers who use apps most frequently – were surveyed, according to a report from Apigee.
The findings come from a report titled "The Mobile Mandate for Retail", which gathered data from a survey of 1,000 smartphone owners in a bid to shed light on how mobile apps are changing consumer shopping behaviour and what these changes mean for retailers.
Overall, it found that stores that provide an app see much higher favourability scores among app using customers and this is ultimately influencing the way consumers shop.
81% of current consumers said they have changed how they shop after owning a smartphone or tablet and a further 79% expect their shopping to change even more in the next two years due to smartphones, tablets or apps.
"The rise of mobile isn't just changing e-commerce. Our research finds that customers not only want brick-and-mortar retailers to deliver key services via apps, they expect them to," said Bryan Kirschner, director of the Apigee Institute. "And not only that, digitally focused retailers are demonstrating better market results across the board. The message for twenty-first century retailers, whether online or physical, is clear: to succeed, they need to add apps to their strategy."

Will Flow Kill Off Retail?
Amazon Flow analyzes everything your iPhone camera can see in real time. As you point your iPhone at objects, you can see the search function working, sprinkling everything that might be an item Amazon sells with glittery pixie dust. It's almost like facial recognition tech for products, but in real time. When Amazon Flow sees something it recognizes, it automatically calls up that item on Amazon and shows you how much it costs, then moves on to the next scannable item.
For items that are in retail packaging, books, DVDs, CDs, and games, Amazon Flow works incredibly well. Perhaps more importantly, though, it drastically reduces the friction of pulling your phone out at an analog store to compare prices on Amazon.
From Amazon's perspective, the more Amazon steps between a shopper and a real-world purchase, the less brick-and-mortars there will be. Yet analog retail stores also create demand for Amazon, and for some products, like clothing or furniture, customers will always want to go in and try it for themselves first, even if they do ultimately buy it for a lower price from Amazon. What this means is that Amazon is locked into a symbiotic relationship with the very retail stores that Flow is trying to steal sales from.

Shopping App For Keepsakes
A new app has launched for retailers that love Instagram but can't derive sales from it. Since debuting in 2010, Instagram has become one of the world's fastest growing social media channels with 100 million monthly users.
Yet many labels still use Instagram as a brand awareness tool, rather than a direct online sales driver. This is primarily because the app doesn't link users to websites on its posts, unlike Facebook and Twitter.
In January 14, Keep debuted on the Apple app store and markets itself as a new way to buy what other people already have. The web and mobile platform helps users figure out what other people are wearing and buy the items they're wearing.
The app has been endearing rave reviews on Refinery 29, Glamour, and Instyle the US since its launch last month. If Keep takes off, it could be a useful tool for online retailers to reach audiences in a genuine space and actually make money of this interaction.

ASAP54 Bridges Gap Between What You See and What You Buy
ASAP54 is a fashion app, which leverages a blend of image recognition technology, crowdsourcing and human stylists to help users find and buy fashion products they like.
The mobile app could identify, source and let people purchase the products they encountered — on blogs, social media and in the physical world around them — avoiding the cumbersome process of searching endlessly by keywords or tags and smoothing the path from inspiration to transaction.
"My main intention is to really change the way that people interact with fashion," said Cecílio. "I really believe that omni-channel is the future and people will be taking pictures offline and shopping online, and taking pictures online and shopping offline.

Whisp Lets You Chat While You Shop Online
For many people, shopping is a social activity. People like to shop with their friends and talk with them about potential purchases.
For those who like to buy things via the internet, there's a new web and mobile app called Whisp that lets users shop online and chat with their friends at the same time.
Whisp lets users shop their favorite designers and stores all in one place and its key feature lets users drag and drop images of products into private chat windows. That way, users can chat with their friends while they shop online.
Whisp includes millions of products from top brands like Rag & Bone, APC, and Givency. Users can bookmark their favorites to put them in a private lookbook. They can also chat with friends on the app or on Facebook, and use unique emojis to express themselves while chatting.
Point Your iPhone at Something You Like, and Amazon's New App Buys It
Amazon is announcing a new feature inside its mobile shopping app that lets you scan items in your home using your smartphone's camera and quickly order all of your packaged goods online. The new feature, called Flow, will be available inside Amazon's shopping app for iOS. […]
Instead of taking a photo of an item or scanning a barcode, Flow recognizes items via their shape, size, color, box text, and general appearance. Hold your iPhone up to a row of items on your shelf or counter, and within seconds of "seeing" it with the iPhone's camera, every recognizable item is placed in queue that can be added to your Amazon cart. […]
All of this happens in seconds. Speed is important — our short attention spans have zero patience for a slow feature, and if you leave the app, that's a potential lost sale for Amazon.

Design A Room Virtually, Then Buy The Furniture
Entrepreneur Marc Lebovitz is expanding on that same idea as Ikea with his new startup, Adornably, a company centered around a new iPad app. After downloading Adornably and creating a free account, you can lay any magazine on the floor of a room and Adornably will use it to scale a virtual image of that room in your iPad. From there, you can shop from a number of furniture options to virtually redesign your space.
[ … ] The neatest moment comes when previewing a piece of furniture in a photo and you can drag it around with your finger. There's no worry about breaking the perspective; Adornably's software is handling all the complicated geometry for you. So moving a 500-pound mahogany armoire across your bedroom is as simple as a swipe.

Partnership is great, but what do you do when you hit a rough patch? Use these tips and suggestions to help resolve conflicts in your organization.
• • • • •
We have written in the past about the benefits of partnership and collaboration to your organization. Seeking out others who have different backgrounds and experiences, different strengths and weaknesses, a different way of thinking about things is good. It shows us alternate perspectives and requires us to consider different points of view. Often times those shifts in thinking can cause a burst of collaborative ideas which lead to true greatness.
However, we also know that sometimes working with a partner can present some challenges too.
Even when both partners begin with the best of intentions, sometimes things can go awry. Getting back on track can take some effort and patience but it will all be worth it in the end.
How to handle a disagreement
When resolving a conflict, consider these tips and suggestions:
- One of our mantras at the Big Change Project is that it often matters less what you say, but more how you say it. Be thoughtful about the words you choose and be cognizant of your tone of voice and body language, especially in conflict, because it can be absolutely critical in how your message will be received.
- It is important to address concerns and issues before they fester too long and take on a life of their own. Don't let things go so long that feelings are hurt and relationship are damaged, to the point of frustration that is hard to get beyond.
- LISTEN!!! Listen to others (really listen, not the kind of listening where instead you are thinking about what you are going to say as soon as they stop talking) and listen to yourself – how are you saying what you're saying?
- Honor others – respect their thoughts, feeling and ideas. Be considerate and thoughtful. Recognize that they have a different point of view.
- Use "I" statements – talk about how you feel or what you are experiencing instead of focusing on what you feel they are "doing." It can diffuse some of the defensiveness and help to keep the conversation productive. Be sure that you stay open-minded when it is their turn to tell you of their feelings and experiences.
- Be open and willing to change your mind.
- Try to motivate others to join you through encouragement, respect and positive feedback, rather than through guilt, frustration and anger.
- As your mother always told you, "COMPROMISE." It truly is the key to all things. Work with others to find some common ground.
- Make the relationship your priority, not your agenda. Work to support and honor the relationship and the rest will come.
- Sometimes creativity is the solution. Open your mind, encourage others to open theirs, and see if you can find a creative solution that everyone can feel good about.
Once you have discussed your concerns and worked to create a shared solution, be sure that you follow through – do what you say that you are going to do. Without "walking the walk," others will not be able to trust in your word.

Kinetic experiments imply that certain configurations are preferred depending on the solvent. The experimental methods are explained in this article. Furthermore, computational methods are used to understand this configurational preference. Standard quantum chemical methods can predict the favored configurations by using minimum energy calculations on the potential energy landscape. However, the explicit role of the solvent is not revealed by this type of methods. In order to better understand its influence, classical mechanical molecular simulations are applied. It appears from our research that "folding" the ergopeptide molecules into an intermediate state (between the S- and the R-configuration) is mechanically hindered for the preferred configurations. Open Access Article: Cultural Collapse and System Survival Due to Environmental Modification by Graeme J. Ackland, Adrien Y. M. Henry, Alexander Williams and Morrel H. Cohen Computation 2014, 2(3), 83-101; doi:10.3390/computation2030083 - published 29 July 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: We consider a simple mathematical approach to the rise and fall of societies based on population growth and its effects on the environment, both beneficial and detrimental. We find that in any simple model of population dynamics with environmental coupling, stable cultures are impossible. Populations inevitably grow or decline exponentially. Further, if the parameters defining a civilisation are allowed to evolve towards an evolutionarily stable state, the only possible solutions are those where each culture ultimately declines. However, computer simulation with multiple competing cultures show that while each eventually collapses, some are always extant and the system is robust. In this broad class of models, individual death is a requirement for system survival. Open Access Article: Universal Dimensions of Meaning Derived from Semantic Relations among Words and Senses: Mereological Completeness vs. Ontological Generality by Alexei V. Samsonovich and Giorgio A. Ascoli Computation 2014, 2(3), 61-82; doi:10.3390/computation2030061 - published 15 July 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: A key to semantic analysis is a precise and practically useful definition of meaning that is general for all domains of knowledge. We previously introduced the notion of weak semantic map: a metric space allocating concepts along their most general (universal) semantic characteristics while at the same time ignoring other, domain-specific aspects of their meanings. Here we address questions of the number, quality, and mutual independence of the weak semantic dimensions. Specifically, we employ semantic relationships not previously used for weak semantic mapping, such as holonymy/meronymy ("is-part/member-of"), and we compare maps constructed from word senses to those constructed from words. We show that the "completeness" dimension derived from the holonym/meronym relation is independent of, and practically orthogonal to, the "abstractness" dimension derived from the hypernym-hyponym ("is-a") relation, while both dimensions are orthogonal to the maps derived from synonymy and antonymy. Interestingly, the choice of using relations among words vs. senses implies a non-trivial trade-off between rich and unambiguous information due to homonymy and polysemy. The practical utility of the new and prior dimensions is illustrated by the automated evaluation of different kinds of documents. Residual analysis of available linguistic resources, such as WordNet, suggests that the number of universal semantic dimensions representable in natural language may be finite. Their complete characterization, as well as the extension of results to non-linguistic materials, remains an open challenge. Open Access Article: Can the Thermodynamic Hodgkin-Huxley Model of Voltage-Dependent Conductance Extrapolate for Temperature? by Michael D. Forrest Computation 2014, 2(2), 47-60; doi:10.3390/computation2020047 - published 14 May 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: Hodgkin and Huxley (H-H) fitted their model of voltage-dependent conductances to experimental data using empirical functions of voltage. The thermodynamic H-H model of voltage dependent conductances is more physically plausible, as it constrains and parameterises its empirical fit by assuming that ion channel transition rates depend exponentially on a free energy barrier that in turn, linearly or non-linearly, depends on voltage. The original H-H model contains no explicit temperature terms and requires Q10 factors to describe data at different temperatures. The thermodynamic H-H model does have explicit terms for temperature. Do these endow the model with extrapolation for temperature? We utilised voltage clamp data for a voltage-gated K+ current, recorded at three different temperatures. The thermodynamic H-H model's free parameters were fitted (Marquardt-Levenberg algorithm) to a data set recorded at one (or more) temperature(s). Then we assessed whether it could describe another data set, recorded at a different temperature, with these same free parameter values and its temperature terms set to the new temperature. We found that it could not. Open Access Article: A 3-D Model of a Perennial Ryegrass Primary Cell Wall and Its Enzymatic Degradation by Indrakumar Vetharaniam, William J. Kelly, Graeme T. Attwood and Philip J. Harris Computation 2014, 2(2), 23-46; doi:10.3390/computation2020023 - published 5 May 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: We have developed a novel 3-D, agent-based model of cell-wall digestion to improve our understanding of ruminal cell-wall digestion. It offers a capability to study cell walls and their enzymatic modification, by providing a representation of cellulose microfibrils and non-cellulosic polysaccharides and by simulating their spatial and catalytic interactions with enzymes. One can vary cell-wall composition and the types and numbers of enzyme molecules, allowing the model to be applied to a range of systems where cell walls are degraded and to the modification of cell walls by endogenous enzymes. As a proof of principle, we have modelled the wall of a mesophyll cell from the leaf of perennial ryegrass and then simulated its enzymatic degradation. This is a primary, non-lignified cell wall and the model includes cellulose, hemicelluloses (glucuronoarabinoxylans, 1,3;1,4-β-glucans, and xyloglucans) and pectin. These polymers are represented at the level of constituent monosaccharides, and assembled to form a 3-D, meso-scale representation of the molecular structure of the cell wall. The composition of the cell wall can be parameterised to represent different walls in different cell types and taxa. The model can contain arbitrary combinations of different enzymes. It simulates their random diffusion through the polymer networks taking collisions into account, allowing steric hindrance from cell-wall polymers to be modelled. Steric considerations are included when target bonds are encountered, and breakdown products resulting from enzymatic activity are predicted. Open Access Article: Ab Initio Research on a New Type of Half-Metallic Double Perovskites, A2CrMO6 (A = IVA Group Elements; M = Mo, Re and W) by Yun-Ping Liu, Huei-Ru Fuh and Yin-Kuo Wang Computation 2014, 2(1), 12-22; doi:10.3390/computation2010012 - published 21 March 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: The research based on density functional theory was carried out using generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for full-structural optimization and the addition of the correlation effect (GGA + U (Coulomb parameter)) in a double perovskite structure, A2BB'O6. According to the similar valance electrons between IIA(s2) and IVA(p2), IVA group elements instead of alkaline-earth elements settled on the A-site ion position with fixed BB' combinations as CrM (M = Mo, Re and W). The ferrimagnetic half-metallic (HM-FiM) properties can be attributed to the p-d hybridization between the Crd-Mp and the double exchange. All the compounds can be half-metallic (HM) materials, except Si2CrMoO6, Ge2CrMo and Ge2CrReO6, because the strong-correlation correction should be considered. For M = W, only A = Sn and Pb are possible candidates as HM materials. Nevertheless, an examination of the structural stability is needed, because Si, Ge, Sn and Pb are quite different from Sr. All compounds are stable, except for the Si-based double perovskite structure.

September is still several weeks away, but Dover Police Chief Peter McGowan is already taking steps to get ready for the annual Jimmy Fund Walk on Sunday, Sept. 9.
McGowan will join more than 8,500 others for the 24th annual event, through which walkers aim to raise money to support patient care and cancer research for adults and children at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
This year will mark the ninth consecutive walk for McGown, who is a member of Team Police Chiefs. The team is helping to support the official charity o the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association. To donate, visit JimmyFundWalk.org/2012/DoverChief.
Meanwhile, Dover Mobil Station is currently collecting donations through a canister on the front counter, McGowan said.
Walkers may choose to walk one of four routes: the entire 26.2-mile route from Hopkinton to Boston, the 13.1-mile route from Babson to Boston, the 5-mile route from Boston College, or the 3-mile route with patients and their families starting at the main Dana-Farber campus.
Walkers are treated to a celebration at the finish line at Copley Square in Boston, complete with food and music. Walkers begin in Hopkinton between 5:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., at Babson College between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., at Boston College between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., and at Dana-Farber at 1:30 p.m.

7 Rock Songs Exploited for Commerce and Conservatism
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Since the U.S. government doesn't support artists like most first-world countries, musicians are increasingly filling their duckets with cross-promo deals from companies. While outside-the-mainstream artists and the towers of commerce have historically had a tenuous relationship, in the choked-income era of the mp3–where it's increasingly difficult for even prominent groups to make a living off recorded music–more and more musicians have been letting marketers use their tunes for a check. It's such a frequent occurrence it barely registers as cognitive dissonance these days... the song's political message is wildly at odds with the capitalist idea being sold. (See: Rolling Stones' latest.) Or, worse, left-wing songs are hijacked by right-wing politicians without permission. In both instances, sometimes the disconnect is so vast, it ends up in the courts. At the very least, it leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
1. The Beatles and Nike
In one of the earlier and more memorable instances of a song's perpendicularity to its placement, Nike bought the Beatles' classic peace advocacy jam "Revolution" for the purpose of hawking running shoes. To be fair, the 1987 clip wasn't anti-peace, featuring shots of normal humans doing sporty things and being generally healthy... but let's just say Nike's co-opting of political sentiment in order to establish cool cred set a precedent. Apple Records, the Beatles' music group, sued the company for $15 million–Nike had purchased the rights to the song from Capitol Records, which owned the North American rights to the song. Two years later, a settlement was reached out of court, but the concept had done its damage. In an interesting postscript to the story, a 2005 Nike poster mimicked the cover of the first Minor Threat album without permission. (Minor Threat being one of the most political, anti-corporate, do-it-yourself punk bands of the '80s.) Dischord Records, the band's label run to this day by lead singer Ian MacKaye, released a statement:
To longtime fans and supporters of Minor Threat and Dischord, this must seem like just another familiar example of mainstream corporations attempting to assimilate underground culture to turn a buck. However, it is more disheartening to us to think that Nike may be successful in using this imagery to fool kids, just beginning to become familiar with skate culture, underground music and D.I.Y. ideals, into thinking that the general ethos of this label, and Minor Threat in particular, can somehow be linked to Nike's mission.
The poster was removed and the parties settled out of court.
2. Rolling Stones and Call of Duty
The Stones are completely game for corporations to use their tunes–they started young when they wrote a special song for a 1963 Rice Krispies advert, and a short laundry list of subsequent brands they've supported includes Sony, Coca-Cola and Victoria's Secret. Truthfully, Mick Jagger's lascivious lyrics can be funny when they're hawking, say, Microsoft Windows... but it got super weird recently when "Gimme Shelter" showed up in a disturbingly hyperviolent ad for the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops, which features celebrities like Kobe Bryant and Jimmy Kimmel wielding machine guns and shooting up everything in their sights. Um, Rolling Stones, you know you wrote that song based on the despair of Vietnam, right? But if the song was sullied by the egregious war imagery, the band's bottom line remained intact. This week, the commercial prompted a sales spurt for the Stones based on the Black Ops spot.
3. The XX vs. The Conservative Party
Shoe-shufflers the XX have been the toast of Britain this year––starting out as four 20-year-olds in a basement, their soft-take sensuality and near-whisper vocals were universally angsty enough to garner them a Mercury Prize. And apparently the Conservative Party took to the trio's restraint; in October, the Tories played songs from their album at a party gathering, which the band's label, Young Turks, immediately condemned in a statement: "The XX/Young Turks weren't invited to any party, didn't approve the use of their music at the party and certainly don't approve of said party."
4. M.I.A. and Honda
Maya Arulpragasam, better known as M.I.A., has built her career on outspoken political fortitude as much as impeccable diasporic pop. And while she's sometimes confused her message–generally delivered in rants about Sri Lankan genocide and government-controlled Internet–it's undeniable that she means well. So seeing her first-ever hit, "Galang" juxtaposed with a Honda commercial was slightly discomfiting, particularly considering the song's a brittle, wry tale of a drug-related murder. A moment of levity, then, when you realize that she actually mentions rival car company BMW in the original lyrics.
