This midsummer's night, July 16 to be exact, marks the opening of Shakespeare Three Ways — an evening of comedy inspired by the many aspects of Shakespeare, but in more modern language.
Get thee to the theatre! The Theatre on San Pedro Square plays host to Three of a Perfect Pair Theatre Troupe who will perform three one-act plays.
"This is an evening that is perfect for families at an affordable ticket price," said Craig Engen, Managing Director, playwright and performer.
The characters are recognizable archetypes of aspects of our own natures: noble, comic, twisted, exploitive — and all too human. The three one-acts are A Debt By Any Other Name is based upon Shakespearean insults, Love is Blind a love triangle and deals with Shakespeare's language of love and lust, and Vaulting Ambition, which is based on the machinations of Shakespeare's villains in which multiple characters are try to take the crown in a maze of comic intrigue.
The first two pieces, A Debt by Any Other Name and Love is Blind, are directed by Linnea George and the third, Vaulting Ambition, is directed by Estelle Piper.
"I play the Rival Baron," said Piper, who is also Artistic Director of Three of a Perfect Pair Theatre Troupe. "Yes, he's a male character who's sort of a 15th-century 'wild and crazy guy' whose laughably mangled English gets him into all kinds of scrapes."
"Relationships and money are two grand themes that we all could use a little advice on," noted George about A Debt By Any Other Name. Regarding Love Is Blind she added that "during our rehearsal process, we talked about the many reasons and ways people fall in love."

Short Description
Augmentin (generic name: Co-amoxiclav; brand names include: CLAMP / Exclav / Cavumox / Clavamel) is a combination antibiotic. It combines amoxicillin and clavulanate in a unique formulation.
Augmentin is a penicillin antibiotic with a notably broad spectrum of activity. The bi-layer tablets provide an immediate release of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium and an extended release of amoxicillin. This enhanced formulation prolongs the time that bacteria are exposed to the antibiotic and promotes coverage of tough-to-treat S. pneumoniae.
Augmentin is used in the treatment of many bacterial infections including:
lower respiratory tract infections
otitis media
skin and skin structure infections
urinary tract infections

Sports is a booming business. And it is not just the sport events themselves that are large drivers of revenue, new studies are showing that consumers are continuing to spend large amounts of discretionary income on sports and fitness. A study from Global Information, in partnership with Global Industry Analysts, predict that the sports and fitness clothing market will top $180 billion dollars a year by the year 2018.
For the sake of comparison, the NFL pulled in revenue of roughly $10 billion in the 2012 season.
The continued rise and revenue stream for companies such as Nike, Under Armour, Adidas and others, is due in large part to expanded participation in team sports and fitness activities. That trend, which the study groups under the term "westernization", combined with rising income levels, and a demand for sports and fitness clothing as casual wear and for general fashion, will see a continuing rise in this fast-growing industry.
The study also sees an upward trend in the Fitness Nutrition Food and Sport Drink sector, estimating nearly $55 billion per year, in sales by the year 2018. The study again that healthier lifestyles have taken the sports drink industry away from a niche segment and into the hands of the masses at large. Major players such as Coca Cola, PepsiCo, and Red Bull are responding to consumers' healthier lifestyle choices by putting new energy drinks, energy bars and other meal supplements on to the market at an increasingly fast pace.
With the sports drink sector showing no signs of slowing down, it will be interesting to see the evolution of sports drink endorsement deals over the next five years as well. We've already seen multiple athletes move away from the larger sports drink powers to endorse lesser known brands (see: Fuse Science), in hopes of 'getting in on the ground floor' of a company, via an equity share. Might the next five years show more of the same? Or just an increase in the monetary value of the deals themselves?
The next five years in the sports and fitness world are guaranteed to be quite interesting. For more information on the Global Information study, you can visit the Global Information website.

NEW CASTLE, KY (WAVE) - A Henry County man is facing felony charges accused of beating two puppies to death.
In all, five dogs were abused. Two are recovering a third is still unaccounted for.
Investigators were able to get an indictment against Brandon Grant, 25, after his girlfriend, who was the owner of the puppies, recorded the abuse on camera.
"He beat puppies to death ... with his bare hands and a stick," said Bryan Brown, a dog owner. "It takes a sick individual to do that."
Investigators say the abuse happened last year. Grant is now charged with two counts of animal torture. He was arrested May 5.Copyright 2014 WAVE 3 News. All rights reserved.

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word
What have I got to do to make you love me
What do I do to make you want me
The story within the story is often more interesting and momentous than the story. Such was the case this morning when we awoke to learn that President Bush had uttered the heretofore verboten words "I'm sorry."
Odd that they were offered to a foreign dictator who'd been properly excoriated in Dubya's presence for his hellish campaign against the religious group Falun Gong. But then again, "odd" is the operative mode for this curious man and the infuriating lot that does his bidding.
In case you missed, yesterday, amidst the pomp and pretense of the official greeting of Chinese President Hu Jintao, a reporter named Wang Wenyi rose from the platform and began screeching at Hu for his persecution, torture and murder of members of the Falun Gong sect. She was quickly escorted from the scene, but not before Bush and Hu had soiled their Sunday best.
Nothing amuses the Muse more than a carefully choreographed shindig gone awry and, in this case, Wang rocked my world. She is a brave and deviously ingenious warrior and she deserves America's admiration. This is, after all, what we're supposed to be about: freedom of religion and speech. And she reminded us of that in front of the leader of the world's most populous and oppressive nation.
Today she's being arraigned on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to "intimidating" a foreign dignitary (ironic, that).
After her harangue, Bush immediately tried to put the best face on the situation, telling Hu "this was unfortunate, I'm sorry this happened."
"I'm sorry." What? We got Katrina victims still scattered across hell's half-acre, kids killed by the thousand in his deceitful war, a CIA agent outed, budget surpluses extinct as pterodactyls and lie upon lie told to the American people. But he saves "sorry" for a sorry-assed murderous oppressor of pacifist religious practitioners.
Nonetheless, progress is progress. And I'm sure he's read somewhere that "the first step is admitting you have a problem." So maybe we'll be hearing more of this in the future.
"What have I got to do to make you love me," crooned Elton John in that tune way back when. It's an apt question for Bush. While this is likely the only sentence you'll ever read on EWM that contains both the words "love" and "Bush," I offer him this. It's we, not Hu, that deserve the apology.Return to latest entry

Great chair. My only complaint is the color and material is different than it appears online. Chair looks like a lime green but it's actually darker in person and the material is not what I expected. I'm not sure what chair was photographed or what special cameras were used.

Why Social Proof Matters for Content Marketers
Posted on April 22nd 2014
If you write a blog post and no one shares it, does it really exist?
We live in an information age where ideas act as currency. As writers, we seek validation of our ideas and today the validation data is right in front of us. We can see in a matter of hours how many page views and call-to-action clicks a brand new post gets, which gives us an immediate sense of what's resonating with blog visitors – and what's not.
But there's something special about the immediate validation of social shares on Twitter or Facebook. These networks are ubiquitous and we assume the number of shares always has a strong correlation with the quality of a post. But is that really true?
Everyone is writing today about Social Proof, but many neglect to explain its origin. I'll explain where it came from and how you can take advantage of the principle in your content marketing.
Not the only one starin' at the sun
Social proof is a type of conformity where we look to the actions of others to discern the correct behavior for a given situation. Psychologists have been studying the phenomena for decades, especially as it relates to how groups of people will conform to choices that are mistaken or just strange. (You've probably heard about the experiments when a person stares up into the sky and other passersby start imitating the behavior.)
Robert Cialdini, who has spent decades research the science of influence, listed Social Proof as one of the six "Weapons of Influence" (along with things like Commitment/Consistency and Reciprocity) that we can wield to significantly affect others' behavior.
In his book Influence: Science and Practice, Cialdini writes that:
We view a behavior as correct in a given situation to the degree that we see others performing it.
Cialdini proceeds to describe how everyone hates laugh tracks, although it's been proven effective in making us think that a TV show is funnier; just the sound of canned laughter makes people more likely to think something is funny. He also relates how advertisers often describe a product as the "fastest-growing" or "largest-selling" because the simple fact that others like a product seems proof enough that we should buy it ourselves. If it's good enough for the Joneses...
"The New Marketing"
Much has been written in recent years about the marketing applications of Social Proof. A 2011 TechCrunch article, in fact, went so far as to declare "Social Proof is the New Marketing."
Others' opinions certainly have a profound effect on many of our purchase decisions from laptops to automobiles. Some 70% of Americans now look at product reviews before making a purchase and the average shopper used 10.4 sources of information to make a decision in 2011, according to Google's Zero Moment of Truth research.
So what does that mean for you as a content marketer? As this great post from HubSpot points out, marketing applications of Social Proof include:
Social media mentions
Embedded tweets
Social plugins
Social media sharing/follow buttons
Case studies and testimonials
User-generated content
Reviews and ratings
Social advertising on networks like Facebook and Twitter
User Statistics
PR coverage
This isn't just happening at the organizational level. Networks like Klout and LinkedIn are serving as social barometers for our personal branding. (Those skill endorsements some of us love to hate are a great example of social proof at a personal level; if enough people endorse you for something, you must be an expert.)
Okay, so Social Proof has tons of marketing applications. How do you make your messages stand out in a time of mushrooming content?
Monitor, write, analyze, repeat
When it comes to blogging, pay close attention to your metrics – both those of individual posts and longer-term trends. Marketing software like HubSpot allows you to sort your posts by Views, CTA Clicks and Click Rate; analyze which posts people are reading the most and which posts are actually getting the most clicks and social shares.
Call-to-action clicks and social shares indicate a higher level of interest than views as you are actually inspiring people to take action. Here are a few ways to get more clicks and shares:
Make your content easy to share by adding social buttons on your blog and other appropriate pages. Which buttons you should add will vary somewhat by industry; that's why you've got to understand your audience and where they like to hang out online.
Make sure you call-to-actions match your content. If you've written a post about social media, you want a social media CTA, not one about branding.
Create and follow a plan to promote your blog posts. Share your editorial calendar internally, mention your authors when your share posts on social networks and use hashtags appropriately.
Remember that your content is about helping your audience. Make sure your messaging is aligned with your brand and is conveying the right messages to your audience. People respond to brands that are humanlike, connected and engaging.
Don't get deterred when a post you were excited about doesn't gain the social validation you expected. Not all awesome posts are going to get a ton of shares and not all posts that get a ton of shares are truly awesome.
Monitor your metrics and figure out what really engages your audience. Then go back to the drawing board and write something better.

text: Global Management Expert Adler Wins International HR Award By SHRM Online staff 9/28/2010 MONTREAL—Dr. Nancy Adler, holder of the S. Bronfman Chair at Montreal's McGill University has been awarded The George Petitpas Memorial Award, one of the most prestigious HR awards in the world. Presented by the World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA), the award was established in the mid-1980s in memory of Georges Petitpas, who contributed significantly to the development and activities of the WFPMA and died shortly after his nomination to the WFPMA presidency in 1983. The award is presented at the WFPMA World Congress every two years. Adler conducts research on cross-cultural management and global leadership. An esteemed consultant, she advises governments and private corporations on projects worldwide. She has penned more than 120 articles, written 10 books and produced films, including, "Portable Life," and "Reinventing Our Legacy." In 2010, she published the "Leadership Insight" journal. A former professor at the University of Hong Kong, Adler has taught executive seminars in Italy, England and France. She's received a number of prestigious awards, including the McGill University Distinguished Teaching Award in Management, which she has won twice. Selected as a Teaching Fellow, she has been deemed one of Canada's top university professors. An accomplished visual artist, Adler paints as well. Her most recent exhibition, "Transposition de la realite," was on display at Montreal's Galerie MX. The Georges Petitpas Award honors those who, like Petitpas, embody the spirit of and dedication to the HR profession and who have made significant contributions to international HR and to the goals of the WFPMA. In 2008, the award went to personnel practitioner, lawyer, academic and author Carlos Aldao Zapiola from Argentina. In 2006, the award went to former WFPMA President Michael Losey, a longtime president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management. Aliah D. Wright is an online editor/manager for SHRM.

You should order those from MonoPrice, they are cheap enough to not be a big loss if they don't work out but they should the blue compression tool looks exactly like the blue one Charter (FiberTech) around here uses.--CompTIA Network+ Certified
What you are refusing to hear is that you need to take those crimp on connectors and throw them as far into the lake as you can. No compentent technician has used that type of connector for 15 to 20 yrs. hinse why you cant find that type of tool.
This reminds me of the advice to not staple data cable. Cablevision stapled my TV cable and none of the cable is crushed. The staples even leave the cable loose in many spots, and the cable could be stapled snug against the corner so it looks nicer compared with plastic nail-in staples. (a stapler with adjustable force helps, and you have to change the force when you go through different material).If crimping makes the metal shield go through the foam and touch the wire, I could see how that would be a problem. Also, if crimping distorts the shield enough in an area where there's interference from a power cable or something, that could be a problem. I think the solution is proper measurement when stripping the cable, proper selection of the stripper and connector, and proper testing of the crimped cable (visually for TV, and maybe by checking speed with data.)The stripper and plug manufacturers and sellers need a kick somewhere for the lack of compatability between their strippers and plugs and/or their bad instructions. I may complain to the BBB about Radio Shack's crimper not working, as far as I could tell from the instructions, with their plugs.

The compression tool just pushes the plastic ring in. Getting the connector well into the coax requires lots of twisting and pushing by hand, has nothing to do with the tool.
quote:1. Strip off all insulation and shield so that 3/8" (9.5mm) of the center conductor is exposed.2. Now strip off 1/8" (3.2mm) of the outer jacket and shield
quote:I wish you were MUCH Clearer on your site for which accesories I should or could buy with each of the various F type connectiors. NOT REPEAT NOT what "other people bought" but WHAT EXACTLY the correct 2 or 3 crimpers or cutters / stripper tools should be bought or considered when buying this ends vs another type..When I select the ends, I'd like a list of EXACTLY the correct crimpers or other compression, or cutting / wire stripping tools that would go with or make my assembly easier.
...It seems to have worked and I'm on the internet at home for the first time in months, but I have no confidence that the connectors are on properly.
Since you have service problems, call your service provider and they'll fix it correctly.If your connectors are as loose as you say, they're leaking signal out and in. You're going to have more problems, cause problems for others, and/or get shut off for causing ingress/leakage problems.

Senior Obama adviser criticizes human rights abuses in China, Russia
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's national security adviser, in a sweeping review of global human rights practices, singled out China and Russia for criticism on Wednesday over how they treat their citizens.
The adviser, Susan Rice, specifically cited the detention in China of Xu Zhiyong, a legal scholar and rights defender, and Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel Peace Prize recipient who was jailed in 2009 for 11 years on subversion charges for organizing a petition urging the overthrow of one-party rule.
"The Chinese people are facing increasing restrictions on their freedoms of expression, assembly and association. This is short-sighted," Rice said in remarks to the "Human Rights First Annual Summit."
"When courts imprison political dissidents who merely urge respect for China's own laws, no one in China, including Americans doing business there, can feel secure," she said.
Rice's speech came as Vice President Joe Biden was on a visit to China that has been dominated by U.S. and Japanese concerns about Beijing's declaration of an air defense zone around disputed islands in the East China Sea.
Rice also had strong words for Russia, with whom the United States has had strained relations in recent months over Moscow's decision to grant temporary asylum to former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden.
Russia has engaged in "systematic efforts to curtail the actions of Russian civil society," has stigmatized the lesbian and gay community in Russia and coerced neighbors like Ukraine, said Rice.
"We deplore selective justice and the prosecution of those who protest the corruption and cronyism that is sapping Russia's economic future and limits its potential to play its full role on the world stage," she said.
The United States still engages in active diplomacy with both China and Russia and other governments that have rights practices at odds with Washington.
Rice acknowledged the United States sometimes must strike a difficult balance.
"We make tough choices," she said. "When rights are violated, we continue to advocate for their protection. But we cannot, and I will not, pretend that some short-term tradeoffs do not exist."

White countries not wanting to submit to EU-mandated Third World immigration, bad.
White countries not wanting to cater to jewish-inspired degeneracy ("gay" pride, Pussy Riot) bad.
White countries dealing justice to jewish robber barons who stole the wealth of the Russian people, bad.
Really, who are the bad ones here?
Please, Ms. Rice, if American citizen took money from Chinese government to conduct domestic political activity, he too would be prosecuted (ref: FARA).

The multi-million-dollar upgrade of the city, which started last year, has seen several businesses close due to disruptions caused by construction works and road closures.
Cairns Regional councillor Richie Bates says the project is ahead of schedule.
"Essentially cars can now enter into Lake Street from Spence Street," he said.
"Obviously Lake Street isn't open all the way through but they'll be able to drive in there.
"There is limited parking and access for delivery vehicles and that type of thing."
He says the revamp is due to be completed by September, but it's already getting the thumbs-up from the public.
"There are a lot of pedestrian and public spaces on the sidelines so that will be used for outdoor dining or whatever businesses want to use it for," he said.
"It has just got a total new dynamic feel to it and I think it is creating a lot of conversations and a lot of positive ones."
