Intuition – It's More Than a Feeling
Great leaders make smart decisions, even in difficult circumstances. From Albert Einstein to Oprah Winfrey, many top leaders ascribe their success to having followed their intuition. New research shows how going with our gut instincts can help guide us to faster, more accurate decisions.
Intuition — the idea that individuals can make successful decisions without deliberate analytical thought — has intrigued philosophers and scientists since at least the times of the ancient Greeks. But scientists have had trouble finding quantifiable evidence that intuition actually exists.
Now, a team of researchers from the University of New South Wales has come up with a novel technique demonstrating just how much unconscious intuition can inform — and even improve — our decision-making. The research team — psychological scientists Galang Lufityanto, Chris Donkin, and Joel Pearson — recently published their findings in Psychological Science.…

To Be More Persuasive, Repeat Yourself
The philosopher Plato wrote that there is no harm in repeating a good thing. Even better, a new study finds that repeating key points during your next meeting is a good way to sway colleagues' decisions.
Across two experiments, Stefan Schulz-Hardt (Georg-August-University) and colleagues demonstrated that repeating specific information during a discussion was enough to change someone's mind.
"From a rational point of view, information repetitions constitute redundancy and, hence, should not affect the recipient's decision," the researchers write. "By contrast, in two experiments we demonstrate that selectively repeating information in favor of a particular decision alternative changes preference ratings in favor of this alternative and makes a decision for this alternative more likely."
The trio of German psychological scientists noticed that during discussions, people tend to repeat the information that supports their view. Yet, there had been little research examining whether…

Let's Get Lunch! Group Meals Spur Cooperation
Getting people from diverse backgrounds to work together smoothly is one of the biggest challenges organizations face. One of the easiest ways to encourage employees to cooperate may be as easy as pie – or, maybe that sandwich place around the corner. Companies that invest in an inviting cafeteria or shared meal space may be getting a particularly good return on their investment, according to new research from Cornell University.
To find out how group meals go on to influence team cooperation within organizations, psychological scientist Brian Wansink and colleagues designed their study around a group known for sharing meals on the job: firefighters.
"We are interested in the degree to which behavior that might seem superfluous or wasteful to outside observers ultimately carries significant importance for organizational performance," the researchers write. "As a prototypical example of worksites where coworkers eat with…

New Study Busts Some Myths about Millennials
Millennials, those born between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, have been maligned in the media as entitled, narcissistic, phone-addicted, and lazy. But new research shows that these negative stereotypes are inaccurate – millennials, who entered the workforce during tough economic times, are less narcissistic later in life than those who came of age during more prosperous times.
Researchers have observed that narcissists tend to be bad for business; they focus on their own goals at the expense of the goals of other people and tend to alienate the people around them. At the CEO level, studies have shown that narcissists also have the habit of giving themselves substantially higher salaries than their senior-level colleagues.
But previous research has also shown that narcissism can be tempered by adversity. In times of economic upheaval, young adults (18 – 25 years old) just entering the…

Some Jobs May Help Prevent Cognitive Decline
Even years after retirement, a mentally stimulating career may be keeping people's minds active and memories sharp.
As people age, cognitive skills like memory and information processing speed tend to decline. But a large body of research suggests that this decline isn't necessarily inevitable. As a team of experts explain in a comprehensive review published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest, "the longitudinal evidence consistently shows that engaging in intellectually stimulating activities is associated with better cognitive functioning at later points in time."
That is, evidence seems to suggest that staying mentally stimulated, socially active, and getting adequate aerobic exercise are all "cognitive enrichment" factors that appear to protect people's minds from the ravages of aging.
And intriguing new research from psychological scientists from Heriot-Watt University and University of Edinburgh in Scotland suggests that a mentally challenging job may be…

Featured in Castle Magic, January 2010.
Chillingham's ghosts
"Its current owners market the castle as being the most haunted castle in Britain. It has been investigated on television and radio (namely, Most Haunted, I'm Famous and Frightened!, Scariest Places On Earth, Holiday Showdown, Alan Robson's Nightowls) and now Ghost Hunters International.
The most famous ghost of the castle is the "blue (or radiant) boy", who according to the owners used to haunt the Pink Room in the castle. Guests supposedly reported seeing blue flashes and a blue "halo" of light above their beds after a loud wail. It is claimed that the hauntings ceased after renovation work revealed the bodies of a man and a young boy bricked inside a 10-foot-thick wall. The owners also claim that the ghosts of John Sage, a former torturer, and of Lady Mary Berkeley haunt the castle. Guests have reported hearing screams for help and doors slamming mysteriously."
I really feel that this image captures the intended spooky atmosphere of Chillingham Castle. What lurks beyond? Mwah ha ha :o

Stone Crabs pitcher Enny Romero allowed just a double and struck out nine over six innings as Charlotte shut out the Marauders, 3-0, in a rain-shortened six-inning win.
Tampa Bay's No. 8 prospect was perfect through five frames before Bradenton designated hitter Kirk Singer doubled to open the sixth. Romero (5-6) also issued a walk to shortstop Gift Ngoepe before striking out center fielder Mel Rojas to preserve the shutout in what proved to be the final inning of the game.
Taillon (6-8) had been the talk of the league after his last two outings, back-to-back one-hit scoreless starts totaling 12 innings against Lakeland and Palm Beach.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 Draft pitched well again Thursday, allowing just Riccio Torrez's homer in the fourth over five innings of work.
But Romero was able to best him with his two primary pitches.
"I worked on my delivery inside yesterday," he said. "I threw 25 pitches, only fastballs and changeups, and I tried to get a greater command on those pitches coming into tonight's game."
Romero has experienced some control difficulties this season, walking four or more batters is six consecutive starts from June 26 to July 30. He has settled down of late, though, striking out 13 while registering just one walk in each of his past two starts.
The left-hander said he knew he had little room for error with Taillon on the mound opposite him.
"He's a good pitcher," Romero said. "[He has a] good fastball, good changeup, good slider. [He's] definitely a tough prospect to face."

Scientists in the U.S. are calling on the scientific community to up their efforts to determine the purpose and function of mysterious blobs in cells that have eluded understanding since they were first discovered 50 years ago.
Scientists are stepping up attempts at understanding the purpose of "blobs" of protein within human cells.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - This request from the international community comes as some suspect that these blobs could play a key role in fighting diseases such as cancer.
You can be a light in the darkness with "prayer and action."
These blobs are known as assemblages, and consist of cloudy structures that consist of shifting collections of proteins.
"I want to know what these assemblages are doing in Ewing sarcoma, the disease I concentrate on-and I would think all other researchers who study human biology would want to know their functions in both health and disease," said Jeffrey Toretsky, a professor from Georgetown University.
With Professor Peter Wright, from The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, Toretsky compiled an overview of what is known about these assemblages and published it in the Journal of Cell biology.
"The 'blobs' are often-but not always-made up of intrinsically disordered proteins," they wrote.
This is counter to the behavior of most proteins, whom assume a specific shape that fits certain other molecules.
While the purpose of these blob proteins is not clear, they are not inactive. Rather, they seek each other out and form gel-like structures. These resulting assemblages can trap and interact with other proteins and even RNA-a system that transfers information between DNA and proteins.
"It is only in the last five years that researchers have begun recognizing that proteins without fixed structures may have important transitional properties that change based upon their local abundance in cells," Toretsky explained.
If these blobs do in fact play a role in disease, it might be possible to target them with a small-molecule drug, Toretsky believes.
"Current drug-discovery dogma suggests that it is very hard to make a small molecule to prevent two structured proteins from interacting," he said. "However, small molecules have a greater likelihood of disrupting intrinsically disordered protein-protein interactions.
"This review links together very basic biologic phenomena of protein interaction with the potential for new drug discovery. It's an exciting challenge."

Thoughts on D700/800 combo for event shooting?
Mar 4, 2014
I have a D700 and will likely be adding a D800 in the near future. But, im wondering how i will use both of them for event work.
I was thinking of the D700 24-70/2.8 for the informal or rapid snapshots (these are not likely to be printed or blown up).. and the D800 100/2 zeiss for the more formal or posed shots. I was also thinking of pairing the D700 with the 24/1.4 instead since i would have the short-tele range covered with the 100/2 lens. For larger group shots, i would probably need to put a wide on the D800.
Any thoughts?

Why sustainable energy matters
Access to safe, clean and sustainable energy supplies is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity during the twenty-first century. This course will survey the world's present energy systems and their sustainability problems, together with some of the possible solutions to those problems and how these might emerge in practice.
Throughout history, the use of energy has been central to the functioning and development of human societies. But during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, humanity learned how to harness the highly concentrated forms of energy contained within fossil fuels. These provided the power that drove the industrial revolution, bringing unparalleled increases in affluence and productivity to millions of people throughout the world. As we enter the third millennium, however, there is a growing realisation that the world's energy systems will need to be changed radically if they are to supply our energy needs sustainably on a long-term basis.
This introductory overview aims to survey, in very general terms, the world's present energy systems and their sustainability problems, together with some of the possible solutions to those problems and how these might emerge in practice during the twenty-first century.

Tyra Banks Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Stalker
Supermodel-turned-TV personality Tyra Banks has been granted a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker who has "targeted and harassed" the star since 2006. The "America's Next Top Model" host asked a judge to grant her request for a protection order against Marten Williams, Jr., who she claims has stalked her and members of her family for four years.
In documents filed in Los Angeles, Banks alleged the 39 year old has a history of mental illness and believes "he killed George Bush Jr. and that Michael Jackson is alive and living in Long Beach." Banks also claims Williams, Jr. has bombarded her with "ominous frightening letters and items".
In the papers, the star states, "I am in fear from Mr. Williams for my personal safety, and that of those around me, including my family and employees." A judge has ordered Williams, Jr., who was arrested for trespassing at Banks' Beverly Hills home earlier this month, to stay at least 100 yards away from Banks and her family until October 28, when a hearing will be held to decide whether the order should be made permanent.

Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association
Malta's tourist numbers up
The Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association (MHRA) yesterday reported that the performance of Malta's hotel industry during the first quarter of this year registered positive growth but operating costs exceeded revenue gains in the three- and four-star categories.
MHRA President, George Micallef, yesterday lauded MTA's efforts for the results achieved in the fist quarter, saying that "the sustained increase in tourist arrivals to our islands in the first quarter of 2011 is indeed a positive and encouraging trend for all operators in the hospitality sector, and was a major contributory factor to the occupancy and rate improvements being registered across all hotel categories, albeit far more contained in the three- and four-star categories".
"However, costs have continued to spiral upwards and in absolute terms have exceeded the revenue gains in both the three- and four-star categories which resulted in higher 'winter' losses, while only the five-star hotels managed to reduce their first quarter losses.
"One main concern is the fact that the 'cost pressures' seem to be coming from all angles, with sharp increases being reported in cost of food sales, direct operating costs, administration costs, marketing costs, property expenses and utility costs and a higher rate of VAT," Mr Micallef added.
"This negative phenomenon of 'spiralling' costs must be addressed as a matter of urgency, as it is eating viciously into hard earned revenue gains of most hotels and is actually leaving a large number of operators worse off than previous years. Despite the improvements registered, results show that for the first three months of this year the gross operating loss is estimated to be around €6m, compared to around €7m in 2010. If we were to add on the financing and depreciation costs, the losses will increase substantially."
The MHRA reported a continuing trend of a shorter average stay. In fact despite the impressive increase in arrivals of 24%, spent nights in collective accommodation (hotels) only went up by 13%. What is also of concern to MHRA is the national per capita spent, which declined by 6% for the first three months of the year.
Although revenue prospects continue to be encouraging, the MHRA believes that in 2011, "cost containment" is going to be a crucial determining factor, as was the case in 2010. The MHRA reported that the current booking situation has been good but not as good as most expected it to be, with certain hotel categories securing occupancies at the expense of rate discounting.
The MHRA President reiterated the Association's concerns about the national carrier, Air Malta, saying that "we understand that the Air Malta process is a delicate one, and that we are now at a very important juncture, but the clock is ticking and has been ticking for a while now, and it is imperative that negotiations with the European Commission are concluded soonest".
"Winter operations are around the corner, and we need to determine the seat capacity and routes schedules soonest in order that we can start selling them. The Malta Tourism Authority needs to be better informed and kept abreast of developments, not just because of its marketing role but also because it would be expected to find ways of fillings gaps, and there needs to be enough lead time to plan things," he said.
Mr Micallef also drew attention to the many "unknowns" which are creating a lot of anxiety, not just for the Air Malta's employees, but also for the tourism industry's employees and the many businesses and stakeholders that depend on the existence of Air Malta.
Talking about the prospects for next winter Mr Micallef said that "these results underline why the industry struggles to cope with the winter months even with the existing seat capacity. If we were to experience any significant cutbacks on seat capacity for next winter, this will only mean that a number of hotels will have no choice but to close for the winter months, and if this were to take place, this will be not be good to anyone, including the hotel industry itself!"
He added that "the challenge is that we work towards securing Air Malta's future in the shortest possible time, without holding back on opportunities that come our way in the process. MHRA calls for a unified and sensible approach in tackling these sensitive challenges while pledging its support".

Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 review
Aug 5, 2008 • Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1
i am a very satisfied user of L1. I made a lot research on the net and read many
review about it, before i made up my mine to purchase this camera. 8mp is more
than enough for my wedding work. Initially i bought only one. A few months
later i bought another one. This camera is good and holding feels just like
rangefinder body but a bit bigger. You won't make a mistake purchasing it. The
more i used it the more i like about this camera. It a unique DSLR and only one
of a kind currently. I hope panasonic will come out with a newer model based on
this camera with a little bit smaller in size and brighter viewfinder.....please!!
viewfinder not bright made it difficult to use manual focus lens.

RIDE THE GIANT ROLLER COASTER: SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL's Don Muret reports the MLB Giants have signed a deal with Texas-based QCue, a software company, that "enables them to change single-game ticket prices at any time." Giants Managing VP/Ticket Services & Client Relations Russ Stanley said that the club hired QCue to "help find the right price for selling 2,000 seats in AT&T Park's outfield bleachers and upper deck, the last ones to sell for Giants games." Muret notes QCue's formula "plugs in factors such as team performance, opponent, starting pitchers, weather conditions, day of the week and gate giveaways." Stanley said that the Giants will "use those results to raise or lower ticket prices as late as the morning of a game for tickets purchased online, at ticket kiosks, by phone and at the box office" (SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 12/1 issue). CNBC's Darren Rovell said of the Giants' "airplane" ticketing strategy, "They can change their prices eight times a day on the original ticket. … I think because of the bad economy, and the need to get people in the seats, if they only have 20,000 seats sold, they're going to change it on you." Rovell added he expects "10 teams to do this in the next year" ("Mike & Mike in the Morning," ESPN2, 12/4).
Turnstile Tracker: In L.A., T.J. Simers notes the Dodgers, whose average ticket costs $29.66, "will not raise season ticket prices" next season. Team Marketing Report indicated that last season it cost a family of four $229.14 to attend a Dodgers game at Dodger Stadium, and in the five years the McCourt family has owned the team, the cost for a family of four "has increased almost 57%." But Simers notes Dodgers fans "haven't objected," with "more than 3 million every year buying tickets, the quality of the team or the cost of the experience seemingly given little consideration." Meanwhile, Simers reports the Angels are "raising ticket prices," as the average ticket cost will increase from $20.78 last season to a "little less than" $22 in '09 (L.A. TIMES, 12/4).

Another Obama White House stonewall
Today, it's the barriers around the bogus Financial Crisis Commission.
The Washington Examiner editorial board reports:
When Congress created the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in 2009, it tasked the group with digging into the origins of the global economic meltdown that began in 2008.
The 10-member commission is scheduled to issue a report in December 2010. In the meantime, the panel appears determined to shed no light on itself. According to the New York Times, FCIC Chairman Phil Angelides, the former California state treasurer, has complained that his panel's $8 million, taxpayer-funded budget is inadequate, but he refuses to provide this newspaper with a list of staff members, how much they are paid or their job descriptions. He won't even cough up a copy of the FCIC ethics policy he claimed to have instituted to avoid conflicts of interest among his staff members. Angelides' attitude is especially puzzling considering that his appointment was approved by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who famously promised "the most open, the most honest, the most ethical Congress in history."
This lack of transparency increases public confusion and skepticism about the value of congressional commissions in general and of the FCIC in particular…

Medicines can provide us with many benefits that we need. The medicine that you will be taking depends greatly on the medical condition that you are attempting to treat. Take for instance furosemide; this drug is intended to provide relief for edema or fluid retention issues. Its diuretic properties enable it to drain away excess water from the body that creates swelling and bloating. Using this drug allow its user to rid the body of its excess fluid buildup. However, it is not only edema or fluid retention that this drug can be used for, as furosemide's other treatment property can also help in lowering high blood pressure.
Taking furosemide must be under the guidance of a medical professional as use of this drug may cause certain complications, especially if you intend to abuse it and use it for weight loss. Since water in the body creates a certain weight, losing it through diuretic drug use will allow you to lose some of that water. However, this form of abuse leads to loss of essential minerals from the body that is essential for its proper functioning. Minerals like electrolytes and potassium can be lost if diuretic drugs are used abusively. Read more…
When a person develops some form of swelling involving fluid buildup or water retention, taking diuretic tablets will help relieve the buildup as diuretic tablets help in flushing away the excess water from the body. By using diuretic tablets, edema developed in the body can be safely drained away, provided that certain measures are taken, particularly that of the proper instruction given by a medical professional. Otherwise, it is not wise using diuretic tablets without any proper directions or instructions as to its use. Diuretic tablets may only seem to flush excess water from the body, but its use without any proper guidance may lead to serious health consequences.
If you are taking diuretic tablets, the treatment property of the drug will enable the draining of the fluid within your body. Of course, if there is no excess fluid to be drained in the first place, it means that part of your body's fluid may be drained instead. There has been a lot who have abused the use of diuretic tablets and have used it for the simple and shallow reason of trying to lose weight. While the use of diuretic tablets does help with this department, using it while disregarding its actions to the body will only lead to the loss of the body's essential minerals.
Diuretic tablets are taken when you develop edema, whether your edema is generalized or localized, as diuretic tablets helps in flushing out water from the body. But if you do not have any fluid buildup and still use diuretic tablets, essential minerals like potassium and other electrolytes that are crucial in the overall proper functioning of the body. This is why it is very important to never use diuretic tablets if you will only be using it for personal selfish reasons. Make it a point to use diuretic tablets only when there is really a need to.
These days, diuretic tablets like Lasix (furosemide) will only be dispensed to buyers if they are able to present a valid medical prescription. Without any prescription coming from your doctor, pharmacies and their attendants will not readily dispense diuretic tablets. If you have developed an edema and would like to use diuretic tablets, it is better to go to your doctor first so you can be properly diagnosed as well as be given the necessary medical prescription to be able to buy diuretic tablets needed for your treatment.

PV manufacturing equipment revenues set to halve in 201210. November 2011 | Industry & Suppliers, Markets & Trends | By: Becky Stuart
Tying in with other reports published, new research has found that the photovoltaic equipment market is likely to halve next year, due to dwindling demand.
IMS Research says that due to significantly lower demand for new manufacturing capacity, coupled with limited orders for equipment upgrades or replacement of existing capacity, revenues are set to drop 55 percent from USD$12.8 billion in 2011, to $5.7 billion in 2012.
The gloomy market situation, says the company, is a result of considerable overcapacity, caused by the boom of heavy investment by photovoltaic product manufacturers, which were looking to increase their market shares.
"Massive over-capacity, coupled with a reduction in demand, has led manufacturers either to postpone or, where possible, cancel orders for new manufacturing equipment, at least in the short term," commented senior research analyst, Tim Dawson.
He went on to says that all is not lost though, with an "inevitable" return to growth predicted for 2013, driven by a steady, rather than sharp recovery, "as companies look to invest once again in new equipment to remain competitive, improve their production processes, increase cell efficiencies, and reduce the cost per watt associated with the ultimate end product."
The news underpins Solarbuzz's last PV Equipment Quarterly report, released in October, which predicted that global photovoltaic equipment spending will fall by more than 45 percent in 2012.
Furthermore, IMS' findings tie in with those of VDMAs, the German Engineering Federation, which published new order figures for German photovoltaic machine manufacturers. In its report, it was stated that the expectations of these manufacturers will not be fulfilled in the current financial year. Meanwhile, the 2012 market environment is also forecast to remain difficult.

It appears Anderson Silva's future is set with plenty more fights left inside the UFC Octagon after his latest contract negotiation.
Following his win over Stephan Bonnar at UFC 153, Silva and his management confirmed that the longtime champion had two fights left on his current deal, but they were going to begin dialoging with the UFC soon about an extension.
Now, according to UFC president Dana White, those terms have been reached and it's a big deal.
White confirmed that Anderson Silva will sign a new 10-fight deal with the UFC that will take him up until the day he likely decides to retire, closing the book on one of the most storied careers in all of fighting.
"Ten. He signed a 10-fight deal. I don't think we've ever done a 10-fight deal. Maybe we did one with Forrest once, I don't remember, but Anderson said, 'I want a 10-fight deal, not an eight-fight deal.' I'll give him a 100-fight deal if he wants one," White said on Saturday night.
Already the most dominant champion in UFC history, Silva probably received the most lucrative deal the company has ever offered, and it stands to reason why.
Silva is undefeated in his UFC career with more title defenses than any fighter that has ever stepped foot in the Octagon, and even at 37 years of age he doesn't appear to be slowing down whatsoever.
"Ten more fights, realistically, is three more years. I mean, the guy is (almost) 38, but he doesn't look it," White said about his champion.
It's likely Silva's next trip to the Octagon will be defending his UFC middleweight title for an 11th time, likely facing Michael Bisping, should the brash Brit defeat Vitor Belfort at UFC on FX 7.
There are still potential superfights looming overhead as well with Silva possibly facing UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre or light heavyweight champ Jon Jones.
Whatever he chooses to do, Silva will be doing it in the UFC, and that's just fine by Dana White.

A 4.6 million square foot island located 20 miles off the coast of Brazil is the only place on earth where the terrifyingly deadly golden lancehead viper can be found.
The golden lancehead viper is one of the worlds deadliest snakes.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Nicknamed "Snake Island", Ilha de Queimada Grande is off limits to the public, enforced by the Brazilian navy, and is the only habitat of Bothrops insularis, one of the world's deadliest snakes.
The snake's venom is capable of dissolving human flesh, and untreated the mortality rate is 7%, and even with treatment it remains at 3%. To add to that, there are claims that there is one snake per square meter on the island, while locals believe that there may be five snakes to every square meter.
Occasional visits by scientists are the only contact the Brazilian navy allows, but it is expected that the island is visited by poachers, who catch the vipers which are valued at $30,000 on the black market.
Before the island was declared off limits, there were stories told about the deadly predators. One, details the death of a fisherman who lost power in the engine of his boat. After he drifted to the island he ventured inland, unaware of the dangers. He was later found in a pool of his own blood, covered in snake bites.
There used to be a lighthouse on the island, where the keeper lived with his family. The snakes managed to enter the structure by crawling through the windows, and the family ran in panic. Eventually their bodies were found scattered across the island.
These vipers are marked as an endangered species because of genetic inbreeding and susceptibility to wildfires, which could destroy their entire home.
