Establishing Effective Internal Communications Counseling: A Practical Approach to Building Trust and Delivering Results
July 20, 2015 - 1:00am
The ancient saying A prophet but in her own land has modern meaning for corporate communicators, who must often impress and earn the respect of their internal clients. Many internal clients do not have high regard for the strategic skills of corporate communicators. Because of this, communicators believe they are not given enough opportunity to be a part of strategic decision-making.

Australian PM appalled at decapitated head photo
Sydney: A shocking image of what is believed to be the young son of an Australian man holding a decapitated head in Syria showed how barbaric the Islamic State (IS) "terrorist army" is, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Monday.
Abbott made the comment while announcing Australia would likely join humanitarian airdrops and even airlifts of endangered civilians threatened by Sunni extremist IS militants in a barren northern Iraqi mountain range, possibly later this week
The picture, taken in the northern Syrian city of Raqa, was posted on the Twitter account of Khaled Sharrouf, an Australian man who fled to Syria last year and is now an IS fighter, The Australian newspaper said.
It reportedly shows Sharrouf`s seven-year-old son, dressed like any other young boy in blue checked trousers, a blue shirt and baseball cap, struggling to hold up the severed head of a slain Syrian soldier by his hair.
Underneath it were the words "That`s my boy".
Another photo published by the newspaper shows Sharrouf dressed in camouflage fatigues posing with three young boys it said security agencies believe are his sons.
All are holding guns in front of the flag of the Islamic State.
Abbott, speaking to ABC radio from the Netherlands, said the pictures showed the barbaric nature of the terrorist group.
"What we`ve got to appreciate is that Islamic State -- as they`re now calling themselves -- is not just a terrorist group, it`s a terrorist army and they`re seeking not just a terrorist enclave but effectively a terrorist state, a terrorist nation," he said.
"And this does pose extraordinary problems... Not just for the people of the Middle East but for the wider world.
"And we see more and more evidence of just how barbaric this particular entity is."
Australia has an arrest warrant out for Sharrouf, who has also been pictured posing with severed heads. Officials have said up to 150 Australians are fighting alongside militants overseas, mostly in Iraq and Syria.
Abbott, meanwhile, said Australia was ready to participate in United States airdrops of food and water to civilians threatened in Iraq, and could also deploy two aircraft for any airlift mission.
"Australia will gladly join the humanitarian airlift to the people stranded on Mount Sinjar, this is a potential humanitarian catastrophe, President Obama has said it`s a potential genocide," he said.

Kyle Busch: "We tried everything" to keep up with Kenseth
Sep 22, 2013, 7:30 PM EDT
After the first two races of the 2013 Chase for the Sprint Cup, it would appear that Kyle Busch's greatest competition for the championship will be none other than his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Matt Kenseth.
Busch fell just short to Kenseth last weekend at Chicagoland Speedway, and today at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, he ran out of time in his bid to hunt him down, losing out by half a second in the end.
In regards to having to likely duel with Kenseth for the Cup, Busch feels that he and his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing team can't do anything different than what they've been doing lately.
"I think the organization is going to give the equipment to the both of us," Busch explained at NHMS. "I don't think any one of us is going to get better stuff. It's just going to come down to better communication between myself and the crew chief in that way, because those are certainly the ways that you win these things.
"That's how you build speed, getting your car better all through the weekend. But if you can unload and just hit it and be on it and get going, then that's a better way to win each weekend…"
Kenseth was certainly "on it" at the Magic Mile today, leading a race-high 106 laps en route to his seventh victory of the year. Busch felt that his own race was "pretty good" but admitted that he couldn't hang with Kenseth no matter what he and his team could come up with.
"Certainly, we were never as fast this weekend as the 20 [Kenseth] was," Busch said. "They just had a special car. Sometimes you unload with them, and they're just phenomenal. The 20 had that here this weekend.
"We tried everything to try to keep up with him and to get pace with him, but it was tough to do."
Not helping matters for Busch, in his mind, was an ill-fated final restart with 41 laps remaining that subsequently forced him to try and cover a sizable gap in the closing laps.
"I spun my tires a little bit so I didn't get a chance to race him at all, and then I had to fend off everybody else and get stretched out and try to run him down," Busch said.
He came close to doing just that. But with his teammate running on all cylinders, "close" will not be good enough if he wants to win the Chase.
- queenofsummit - Sep 22, 2013 at 11:22 PM
Sorry to say Kyle but I think Matt is going to get all the special cars the rest of this season. Maybe Coach Gibbs will keep his word next year because it certainly doesn't look like he is this year.But this is the best chase start you've ever had.

Really good. I used an Italian bread loaf and pre toasted the slices first then topped it with everything. I also used mozzarella cheese instead. Tasted like a Hawaiian pizza.
My husband loves this sandwich, I had to make it twice in one day. I used Maple Bacon, and added a lil mayo to it. I also grilled the pineapple slices. Its so good.
These are delicious! I made them with English Muffins instead of regular bread. That's the way my mom made them when I was a kid!!
Very tasty and easy recipe. I made it for a luau-themed shower, cut it in fours and served as an appetizer. Everyone remarked about how tasty they were.

It's easy in New Orleans these days to read meaning and purpose into every lyric or song choice—was Sheryl Crow commenting on the housing crisis by covering "Gimme Shelter," or was she just doing a Stones tune? Also, it's impossible to take in all the music and all the messages emanating from the Jazz Fest's 10 stages. Still, a good deal of what I did catch was timely, topical and worth remembering.

Arthur Christmas is the clumsy youngest son of the famous Santa Claus. Together with his family, including his father, his cool older brother Steve, Santa's father Grandsanta and Santa's wife, Mrs. Santa, they run a top secret, highly state of the art operation beneath the North Pole, which helps Santa deliver every single Christmas present in one night around the globe and which cannot be seen by anyone else. It is a lengthy process, which sees Santa's team of elves - including a 'Gift Wrapping Battalion' who carry scissors and tape guns - training in the isolated Arctic during the summer by performing drills and practising their wrapping skills on unsuspecting polar bears. There is also a 'mission control' in which Santa and his team can see exactly how many days there are until Christmas and how many presents have been wrapped.
One Christmas Eve, Arthur turns into an unlikely hero as he is presented with a vital mission which has to be done in one night, before Christmas morning. Can he do it?

Punk hits the ring as the crows chants "CM Punk." Punk says he's feeling deja vu and that this is a re-run with Cena wanting a title match. Punk noted that he beat Cena twice in "high pressure situations." Punk said that if anyone is getting a title shot, then it's him. Cena and Punk start going back and forth and Del Rio interrupts. Cena calls him "Captain Third Wheel." Del Rio reminds them that he's the champion.
Punk tells Del Rio not to interrupt him and he doesn't fault Del Rio for winning the title, but he has a problem with Del Rio, HHH, Nash and maybe even Jack Tunney trying to screw him. Punk noted that both he and Cena had problems with Triple H in the past, and Punk noted that he insulted Stephanie to her face at SummerSlam. Punk said that Cena would have gotten screwed if he won at SummerSlam, and that someone wants Del Rio to be champ. Del Rio said it was his destiny, and Punk said it was his destiny to cash in his rematch clause for the title. Cena said he would cash his rematch clause in tonight. Punk said it didn't exist. As Cena and Punk went back and forth, Del Rio said it's his time, and he's ignoring both of them. Del Rio said he's going to celebrate, but not here in front of the Canadian fans. He told Punk to stop crying like a little girl. Triple H's music hit.
Triple H asks Del Rio to take the smug look off of his face and tells him that he has a match next. Triple H says that you can't just cash in a rematch clause when you feel like it, and it's up to him to decide when it happens. Triple H announces Punk vs. Cena for tonight, with the winner facing Del Rio at Night of Champions. Time for commercial.
Back from break, and Del Rio is in the ring, and he's facing John Morrison.
Alberto Del Rio vs. John Morrison
Del Rio beat Morrison clean with the cross arm breaker in a good match. After the match, Del Rio applied the arm-breaker on Morrison outside of the ring for several moments before releasing the hold. Kelly Kelly is backstage with Eve, and it's announced that Brie Bella will face Eve after the break.
Eve (w/ Kelly Kelly) vs. Brie Bella (w/ Nikki Bella)
There is a promo insert by Beth Phoenix and Natalya who said that they're not going to reveal what they want. Eve neat Brie clean with a neckbreaker. After the match, Kelly acted heelish and dropped a rocker-dropper on Nikki without ever being provoked. Phoenix and Natalya walk on the ramp and applaud as Kelly and Eve look on from inside the ring.

Product description
"Live each day as if it were your last." Written in Greek by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, without any intention of publication, Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations" offers a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Ranging from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the nature of moral virtue, human rationality, divine providence, and Marcus's own emotions. But while "The Meditations" was composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, in developing his beliefs Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection of extended meditations and short aphorisms that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers, and readers throughout the centuries.

One of the focal points of this year's Siemens offering at the biggest European trade fair for the beverage industry will be the Braumat process control system developed specifically to meet the needs of breweries. Also featured will be solutions for the manufacture of dairy products and juices based on the Simatic PCS 7 process control system.
At its booth in Hall 7, Siemens will be unveiling new functionality of its Braumat brewery process control system. The new features permit high-flexibility longterm archiving of production data in a central SQL (Structured Query Language) database. The tool integrated in the database permits the simple plant-specific evaluation of production data for quality assurance and material reconciliation purposes.
Parallel link-up to the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) level, for example to Simatic IT from Siemens, is also possible with extreme ease using the new system.
Under the heading of industrial software, Siemens will be showcasing comprehensive possibilities for process optimization. Simatic IT, for instance, will be on show in the form of a fully extended Manufacturing Execution System including recipe management, and also as a Simatic ITbased system for efficiency monitoring and the detection of weak spots in beverage filling systems. Both these two exhibits testify to the outstanding potential offered by industrial information technology. Visitors to the trade fair booth will have the chance to gain an overview of Siemens process instrumentation. Examples featured at the show will include the ultra-compact Coriolis flowmeter Sitrans FC430, which is capable of achieving a measurement accuracy of 0.1 of a percent.
Also worthy of special mention is the radar level transmitter Sitrans LR560, which measures solids such as cereals and malt using 78 gigahertz technology for ultra-precise measurement results.
Water treatment is another key area of this year's Siemens presentation at the Brau Beviale 2012. Exhibits will include the Vantage series, a new reverse osmosis system for process water treatment. Using energy-efficient components, flexible operating modes and improved water recovery rates, this system is distinguished by its low overall operating costs.
Addressing the over-arching topic area of energy management, Siemens will be showcasing its "Energy and Environmental Services" portfolio, which includes support services for companies seeking to introduce ISO50001, as well as assistance in the identification and implementation of savings potential.
Also featured will be a methodical approach to the introduction of energy data management systems (EDMS), as well as the energy efficiency products Simatic B. Data and WinCC/PCS 7 powerrate.Siemens Beverage Industry

U.K. Viewers Flock To 'Game of Thrones'
More than 800,000 watched the debut, with time-shifted viewing expected to bring total viewing to over 1 million.
LONDON - Game of Thrones has proved to be a big winner for Sky Atlantic, the U.K. home of epic drama launched by BSkyB earlier this year. The plot-rich Sean Bean fantasy drama drew in 823,000 viewers after its Monday night debut, a figure that could top the 1 million mark when time-shifted viewing figures are taken into account.
The debut significantly eclipses the channel's previous big drama Boardwalk Empire, which launched the channel earlier this year with 438,000 overnight viewers.
Though the Steve Buscemi-starring gangster drama was touted as Sky Atlantic's signature show, Thrones, which THR TV critic Tim Goodman described as "exceptionally well-conceived," looks like proving more popular with viewers.

Jeb Bush Thinks Obama Can Win in 2012
For once Jeb Bush is saying something liberals want to hear. He thinks that Barack Obama could easily be reelected in 2012, and says that the 2010 midterm election wasn't so much a vote of confidence in the Republican party as it was an expression of people basically being pissed off. In an expansive interview with conservative news site NewsMax, Jeb also calls a certain Tea Party ideal dangerous to national security and says that Charlie Crist has absolutely no future in the Republican party.
"I wouldn't underestimate [Obama's] ability to get re-elected," the former Republican Governor tells the site. "People forget that in an off-election year, you have great volatility in turnout, and we had much higher turnout numbers than Democrats."
In fact, Bush even has some election strategy advice for Obama.
"We should trust people interacting amongst themselves, investing in their own dreams, to far more prosperity than all of this command-and-control environment that exists in Washington," Bush told NewsMax. "If the president would just embrace that idea, which is a very American idea, he could get re-elected probably."
While Bush is clearly advising Obama to take some Republican ideas on the economy, it's refreshing to see a GOP elder talk rationally about 2012 without any soundbites about how Obama is doomed to be a one-term failure.
Bush isn't quite so nice about certain newly elected Tea Party-backed congressmen. Rather than raise the debt ceiling, some Tea Party members would rather temporarily shut down the federal government, a move Bush calls "a little naïve" and dangerous for national security.
Bush also slams Charlie Crist, saying he "abandoned" the GOP and is not welcome back.
As for his protegee, Marco Rubio, Bush says that 2012 might not be too early to see Rubio mentioned as a possible vice-presidential nominee.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday called on Kiev's authorities to stop massing military forces it said were tasked with suppressing anti-government protests in southeastern Ukraine.
"We call for an immediate halt to military preparations which could lead to an outbreak of civil war," the ministry said in a statement.
Pro-Russian protesters seized official buildings in the eastern cities of Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk on Sunday night, demanding that referendums be held on whether to join Russia like the one that preceded Moscow's takeover of Crimea.

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion...updated
National Weather Service Pendleton or
309 am PDT Wednesday Jul 29 2015
Updated aviation discussion
Short term...today through Friday...upper high pressure ridge will
dominate the weather for the rest of the week with a strong warming
trend and very dry conditions. Highs on Wednesday are expected to be
in the lower to middle 90s lower elevations and 70s to 80s in the
mountains. Then temperatures will rise to 100-105 degrees in the
lower elevations on Friday and continue into the extended period.
These temperatures will be about 10-15 degrees above normal. There
is some monsoon moisture that will try to work its way northward
into the southwest County Warning Area on Friday in a southwest flow behind the
upper ridge. Have introduced isolated thunderstorms over mainly
Deschutes County on Friday afternoon and evening due to the presence
of negative lifted indice's...some cape and an increase in middle level moisture.
Any thunderstorms will be high based and will contain little
rainfall. Therefore this may become a fire weather concern as well
and will monitor it closely. 88
Long term...Friday night through Wednesday...models are in good
agreement in having strong high pressure over the Pacific northwest
from Friday night through at least Tuesday. Temperatures will be hot
with highs 95-105 in the lower elevations and in the upper 80s and
90s in the mountains. The GFS continues to show modest amounts of
moisture being circulated around the high and into the area,
assisted by circulation around a low out in the Pacific. This will
give US a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in central
Oregon as far north as Redmond on Saturday then spreading from
central Oregon into the ochoco-John Day Highlands and northeastward
into the Blue Mountains and Wallowa County each afternoon and
evening Sunday through Tuesday. On Monday night and Tuesday, models
begin diverging as to the handling of an upper low in the Gulf of
Alaska. The GFS brings the low to the northern British Columbia
coast Monday night and then ashore Tuesday night. This keeps a
southwest flow over the area but moves the ridge axis eastward into
Montana. The European model (ecmwf) splits the low and keeps one low in the Gulf of
Alaska and sends the other low into central British Columbia Monday
night. This other low then moves to the Canadian rockies Tuesday
through Wednesday. This flattens the ridge to the south and develops
a trough over our area. Both solutions are cooler and would continue
a slight chance of thunderstorms so have temperatures Tuesday and
Wednesday dropping to 90-100 with middle 80s to lower 90s in the
mountains. Also have a slight chance of afternoon and evening
thunderstorms continuing each afternoon and evening on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Perry
Aviation...12z tafs...VFR conditions will generally clear skies
will continue across all taf sites for the next 24 hours. Winds will
remain below 12 kts. Perry

A good player but seems a big price to give up for a couple of months. Now the bullpen has four lefties and there are 13 pitchers on the team. Rodriguez was worth hanging onto.
The top four pitching prospects for Baltimore:
Dylan Bundy - recovering from Tommy John, getting hit around in A ball
Hunter Harvey - top pick last year, shut down with flexor mass issue
Kevin Gaussman - pitching well at the major league level
Rodriguez - gone

This may sound a little silly but my husband bought me a ROOMBA automatic carpet cleaner and I first I thought, "this is probably a piece of junk with shiny buttons...there's no way it can clean a carpet!" Well, much to my surprise ROOMBA actually does work. I love that I can turn it on, close the door (block off entries that I don't want it to go in or under) and let it do its thing. This saves me time and I think it's worth the purchase. Thiema"

Toenail polish was my lifesaver after my second daughter was born six months ago. As simple as it sounds, toenail polish made me feel like a normal person and realize that, after three months of no sleep and a Cesarean scar, my life WOULD get better. I would once again be able to stay up late and watch NCIS ;) www.themamalady.comby SusanPM on 9th March 2010556Vote!

I keep packages of instant oatmeal and a few tiny boxes of raisins in my desk at work. When I want to eat cookies, I mix up a cup of the oatmeal, sprinkle on the raisins, and have that instead. It's a close second to a cookie, but much better for you!by Lylah M. Alphonse on 16th June 2008539Vote!
My daughter loves the videos on the sesame street website. We will plop down on the couch with the laptop, and I open one browser window for her on one side of the screen and one for me on the other. She can watch the videos, I can check email or just surf the internet, and we get some cuddle time together.by Allison on 15th September 2010537Vote!
I set designed a schedule for all that I have to do in a day and actually put myself on it! So everything has a time slot and I try my very best to stay with in those guidelines. Some days it works great others not so much but it is worth a try!by Veg Mom on 15th December 2010533Vote!

my favorite stress reducer is either cooking or working out... depending on the day ive had! on the HORRIBLE days, i can turn on my ipod & hit the gym to "run away" and on the less stressful days, getting in my kitchen & cooking is a place i can go & no one bothers meby dakotasmommy on 23rd December 2010527Vote!
Buy a package of clothespins at the grocery store and use them instead of twist ties on things such as bread, plastic bags etc. So much easier! I delight in ripping off the twist ties that come on things and replacing it with a clothespin. I even use them on things in the freezer.by Kathy on 25th April 2009526Vote!

Tech News & Commentary
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has heard iPhone users' gripes about poor battery life and decided to do something about it with the upcoming iPhone 6.
The 4.7-inch model of the iPhone 6 could ship with a 2,100 mAh (milliampere hour) capacity battery, rather than the 1,810 mAh battery previously speculated for the handset, ESM-China analyst Sung Chang Xu said on Weibo this week. She said her statement was based on supply-chain sources. The current iPhone 5S has a 1,560 mAh battery.
The report was picked up by CNet and other tech news websites.

However, given that the new iPhone will have a bigger display and faster components than its predecessor, the larger battery might not translate into longer battery life. The current iPhone 5 series has a 4-inch display. A second version of the iPhone 6 is expected to have a 5.5-inch screen.
Rival smartphones already sport bigger batteries. The 4.95-inch LG Nexus 5 has a 2,300 mAh battery, the 5-inch HTC One M8 has a 2,600 mAh battery, the 5.1-inch Samsung Galaxy S5 has a 2,800 mAh battery, the 5.5-inch LG G3 has a 3,000 mAh battery and the 5.2-inch Sony (NYSE:SNE) Xperia Z2 has a 3,200 mAh battery.
Samsung has been running television commercials mocking Apple iPhones for their poor battery life. The ads show iPhone users camped around power outlets to charge their phones.
Apple likely will unveil the iPhone 6 at a Sept. 9 press event.
A survey of more than 1,500 people by WalletHero in May found that longer battery life is the top feature desired in the iPhone 6. Respondents were allowed to pick multiple choices when asked about their hopes for the next iPhone. Longer battery life was the top choice, with 97% of respondents, followed by larger screen (85%), better camera (73%) and faster processor (43%).
A survey of more than 4,000 consumers by RBC Capital Markets in June yielded similar results. Asked about features that would make them buy the iPhone 6, improved battery life was the clear No. 1 with 33%, followed by bigger screen size (23%), faster processor (18%) and better camera (12%).
Most wanted iPhone 6 feature may surprise you.
