Winner: Amey
From highways and rail management to waste collection, Amey's people work in a wide variety of roles; many of which are risky and dangerous. Ensuring all employees understand the risks they navigate on a daily basis is a top priority of Amey's communication team, reflected in their safety campaign Target Zero (TZ).
The philosophy of TZ is simple: Injuries are not inevitable, harm is not acceptable, and risks are ours to manage. The message to employees was one of empowerment, reminding employees they have the skills and knowledge to mitigate risks, rather than take them.
The judges were impressed by the alignment of the campaign to Amey's values of being progressive, accountable, collaborative and effective.
As the executive team understands, even one injury is too many. With fewer and fewer people being hurt on the job, it appears the target of zero harm could soon be within their grasp.

Winner: Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)
In order for a HR team to keep their employees engaged and their culture healthy against such a backdrop, they need to consider news 'ways of working' – which is exactly what FSCS have done.
Their innovations so far have been creative and exciting. Their newly developed Competency Framework allows FSCS to generate a personalised competency development plan for everyone, tailored to their strengths. Learning Pathways show a journey of possible courses and learning opportunities, to help an individual prepare to do a specific job role, allowing them to take control of their future within the organisation.
The panel of judges praised the team's focus on their ambitious targets. By 2018/19, FSCS's people team hope to be recognised as a Sunday Times Top 100 employer, maintain a sickness target of 2%, and be recognised as a Gold Investor In People. We hope the HR Excellence Award they receive tonight will provide further encouragement in pursuit of these goals.

Joint winners: Dubai Police & Infocomm Development Authority of Sinagapore
Dubai Police, United Arab Emirates
Like all police forces, the Dubai Police faces the training challenge of wanting to up-skill officers in an environment that is both safe and practical. But when officers might have to deal with everything from traffic accidents to hostage situations, what's the solution? In move our HR Excellence Awards judges described as "brilliant" and "innovative', Dubai Police has embraced cutting-edge video game technology to create virtual incidents, developing its training programme and all related technology entirely in house.
Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore
The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) is its nation's champion for technology and is spearheading the transformation of Singapore's vision to be the world's first 'Smart Nation'. To make that happen, it needs the talent, which is where IDA's award-winning strategy comes into its own.
It has fully aligned its internal and external brands, connecting its corporate brand with its employer one, under the 'Influencing Tomorrow' campaign. The Influence Tomorrow concept forms an umbrella brand for all employer branding activity. Our judges praised this diverse and fully integrated campaign for living the objectives the Authority set out to achieve in digital.

Winner: LV=
In 2007, LV= had no in-house resourcing capabilities, no employer brand, and 86% of recruitment was done through agencies. Fast forward to 2015, and the landscape looks completely different, with 96% of recruitment delivered directly by a 19-strong internal resourcing team and a brilliant employer brand. Their key to success has been a total transformation of the recruitment strategy, the tools they use and their resourcing team structure.
In 2014, 20% of group risk hires were made through third parties. By 2015, only 6% were. Since February 2015, LV='s dedicated careers website has seen a 32% increase in applications.
LV= said that they view their new strategy as a journey – one with strong foundations and a clear direction. It is clear this is not only making LV= a great place to work for potential candidates, but also an even better workplace for the wider business.

Winner: Stonegate Pub Company
If you're looking for an icon to base your L&D strategy on, who better than Albert Einstein? That was the view of Stonegate Pub Company, and it's led to this award-winning strategy, praised by our judges as "creative", "impressive" and "fun".
The company wanted to offer a career pathway with blended learning development, assessment and evaluation for every level, to its 14,000 employees operating in hundreds of locations across the UK.
So, the L&D team hit upon the idea of Albert's Theory of Progression, using Einstein as inspiration. The team created a learning pathway loosely based on the periodic table and created online platform 'Albert Online', split into stages.
Turnover has dropped dramatically, particularly among those employees sent on development programmes. Online training has an almost 100% completion rate and Stonegate has introduced Albert's App for on-the-move learning.

Winner: Questback
Questback's business model is based on feedback, as it offers entreprise feedback management technology to companies to use in customer, employee and market research. So, it's only right the firm practices what it preaches.
After a period of rapid growth, the company decided it needed to look to its own employees to help drive change and encourage innovation.
Step forward: MySay, a feedback platform. MySay went live in July 2015 and allows every employee to provide their feedback and ideas through a simple, mobile friendly software platform. It aims to help employees mobilise and feel empowered to share their ideas.
In the first six months of MySay, more than 3,800 dialogues took place – an average of more than 12 per employee. Of these, 10-15% resulted in immediate changes.
Our judges praised this entry as "fresh and interesting".
Please click here to find out more about why Questback won this year's Most innovative deployment of HR technology.
Winner: Fitness First
As the largest privately owned health club group in the world, with 360 clubs worldwide and almost 930,000 members in 16 countries, Fitness First needs to take a truly global view. Following major organisational changes and a rebrand, the chain refocused its efforts on talent investment in all of its markets.
The HR team worked closely with the global CEO, executive team and regional HR teams to design a set of comms tools which showed how all the strands of the strategy fitted together. These tools were designed to work across a diverse range of cultures.
Fitness First's approach impressed our judges, who described it as a "broad and truly global strategy", bringing in success metrics from the company's various markets. They praised the chain for its performance in a tough market, adding that the implementation of the global people strategy was particularly impressive given the backdrop of the general redesign of the brand and wider business.

Winner: Wincanton
Wincanton recognised it needed to focus on building strong foundations to overcome future skills shortages, and that raising the profile and importance of talent management as an essential component to business success was key.
With the business at the heart of their thinking, the HR team created a governance structure for its talent strategy, getting essential buy in from key stakeholders.
The team build a new talent identifying tool into its performance processes, focused on exploring potential. An Aspiring General Manager programme has been very successful, with a 70% promotion success rate.
With the logistics sector facing skills shortages, talent attraction is equally critical and Wincanton has committed to finding talent in underrepresented groups, in particular young people and women.
This winning entry is all the more impressive given Wincanton had little or no structure in place only three years ago. The HR Excellence Awards judges praised the company's vision and commitment to engaging hard to reach groups.

The University of Sheffield
Winner: Wincanton
There aren't many HR departments that can claim to have actually saved lives. Or certainly not as confidently as Wincanton's can. When it experienced some driver deaths linked to long term health and lifestyle issues, this kick-started a two-year programme of increasing health awareness. The result: a significant reduction in deaths related to heart conditions- from ten in 2014 to three in 2015. Other results of the health and wellbeing strategy are a reduction in absence rates which saved the company a staggering £335,000. Our judges were blown away by this strategy as one with "great solutions to real issues" and as: "simple, inexpensive and impactful." One judge simply commented: "Wow- love this", with another humbled and impressed by HR as "literally lifesaving". No doubt more lives will be saved -and many more radically improved- in the years to come.

Winner: Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council
Situated in the heart of the Black Country, Sandwell is a large, multicultural metropolitan borough with a population of over 308,000. Sandwell Council is the largest employer in the area with approximately 4,500 employees and a constant need to attract, recruit and retain talented and dedicated people.
The council needed a benefits programme to offer an alternative monetary reward for council employees, provide significant financial savings for the council, contribute to a workforce that is motivated, engaged and productive, and support local prosperity.
They settled on an excellent solution; a single reward platform, providing retail discounts and access to the entire benefits offering, with a variety of salary sacrifice options, an employee assistance programme and local offers in the local economy.
Clearly, this project has been of great value to both the employees of Sandwell Council and to their wider community, fuelled by a clear and well-articulated vision.

Winner: Jaguar Land Rover
Long gone are the days, thankfully, where a strong CSR strategy involved simply painting homeless shelter walls or charity bake sales. And the winning strategy for this year perfectly epitomises this, with Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) Winning the War for Military Talent strategy highly business focused from the off. Chief executive officer Ralf Speth puts it perfectly: "Military servicemen and women are extremely well-trained. Their unique skills and behaviours will be an asset to many companies so, we will support the reintegration of ex-service personnel to compete for new civilian careers." To date, JLR has assisted more than 200 ex-armed forces personnel to find employment and potentially life-changing opportunities across the company, saving an estimated £700,000 in recruitment costs. In January JLR was awarded the prestigious Gold Award by the Ministry of Defence at an event at No.10 Downing Street, in recognition of the company's work here. One of our judges commented that it was "very interesting to see what comes next." We can't wait to see what comes next either.

Winner: West Dunbartonshire Council
The historical change management approach at West Dunbartonshire Council is one that many will be all-too familiar with. Typically it was, the council admits, one that addressed a one direction change initiation, from the top down, resulting in increased resistance, lack of staff engagement, no clear communication strategies and ultimately the failure or lengthy implementation of change initiatives. But this certainly wasn't the process or result of its latest programme to successfully relocate 300 staff to a new state of the art facility. The approach was very much one of involving all employees in understanding the change and feeding back their thoughts on this. The results speak for themselves, and the judges were certainly impressed by the metrics achieved, particularly given the scale of the challenge. "When people don't have a desk anymore, culturally it can be a nightmare," commented one judge, while another commented that no one should be in any doubt that this is "hard stuff to do."

ATS Euromaster
Winner: United Learning Trust
An in-house employee survey at United Learning Trust in 2011 attracted just 46% response rate and demonstrated significant concerns about levels of engagement as well as mistrust about the survey itself. So the HR team identified 'staff survey ambassador' in each of United's then 31 schools, responsible for managing the survey and local action planning. School leaders took the survey seriously and heavily promoted it to their staff, achieving a leap in response rates to 70% by 2013. A host of other impressive activities supported this, leading to an impressive result of employee engagement leaping to 72%- well in excess of the MORI Education sector norm of 60%. Judges praised this entry's "clear strategic link to the business case" and the fact this was a "big investment leveraged." And with United's HR function having set its sights firmly on teacher workload and wellbeing as the next business critical issue to tackle this year, no doubt there's much exciting work to come.

Winner: Transport for London
Transport is still very much a male-dominated sector; in rail alone, only 15% of the industry's employees are women. Transport for London's (TfL) 100 Years of Women in Transport (YOWIT) campaign sought to seize the opportunity of this centenary to play its part in ensuring this starts to change. The initiative sought to positively recognise and celebrate the fact that things are now moving in the right direction, with thousands of women in the industry making outstanding contributions and building exceptional careers that should be showcased to inspire generations to come. The judges loved the creativity of this strategy, describing it as "in a different league" and "streets ahead." Another judge commented: "Love this. Creative, powerful, impactful. Make sure they keep up the momentum." We're sure they will.

Winner: Rachel Bushby, Tesco Stores
Rachel Bushby began her career with M&S, completing their store leadership programme before taking on the role of store manager. Her passion for HR led her to rake a role with a specialist recruitment agency, then join Tesco in 2011 as a recruitment manager for online and digital marketing.
One of Bushby's major achievements is the improvement of the Tesco's Early Careers team. Over the past two years, 50% of their original resource has been redeployed due to the efficiencies she has instigated. She also led significant improvements in cost, removing 47% of the cost over the past year.
The judges agreed Bushby's track record of success and her positive, collaborative attitude mark her out as a leader of the future. Despite the large size of her employer, Bushby has already managed to stand out as an exceptional HR practitioner, and we expect great things from her in years to come.

Joint Winners: Martin Bennett, HomeServe & David Done, RHP Group
Martin Bennett, HomeServe
Home repairs and insurance firm HomeServe had been through torrid times, but Bennett's leadership has helped it back onto an even keel. He became group CEO in January 2014 and his direction has seen engagement rise from 56% to 84%, customer retention rates to 83% and profits to £56.4 million. An impressive 94% of employees agree they understand what Homeserve is trying to achieve as a business, up a huge 19 percentage points from the year before. And Bennett is one of the highest rated CEOs on Glassdoor.
"[Bennett] has driven root and branch change through people," said one of our judges. Another praised Bennett's "impressive turnaround in both business results and the engagement of his people...in a difficult and largely unloved sector", adding "he took time out to plan and then execute his unique strategy".
David Done, RHP Group
When one of our HR director judges says "I want to work here" about your submission, you know you must be doing something right. At housing association RHP, which won Investors in People's Gold Employer of the Year award, a positive 'can do' approach to work is king and is evidenced by its impressive results – in the past five years its operating surplus has increased from £13 million to £18.6 million, it has had a 24% reduction in complaints and its service has been rated the friendliest in the UK by the UK Customer Service Institute.
Our judges praised Done's authenticity. "He comes over as someone who truly believes what he says," commented one. "He seems to have managed to create a real customer focussed culture where employees are valued and developed."

Winner: Kathryn Austin, Pizza Hut Restaurants
In 2010, when Austin joined, Pizza Hut was a brand in decline and hadn't had a profitable year since 2006. It's a very different story now and Austin has been instrumental in its turnaround. In its final quarter of 2015 the chain reported its ninth consecutive quarter of growth, thanks to a strategy that puts people at its heart, and the complete alignment of the internal and external, as exemplified by Austin's leadership of not only the HR, but also the marketing function.
Austin's achievements impressed many of her HR director peers. "It's great to see an HR person responsible for another area of the business and make a demonstrable contribution to business success," was one comment. Another describes her as "an exemplar for HR", adding "practical business focussed and incredibly innovative at the same time." "The way that the employee engagement and external marketing/customer service narratives have been woven together is exceptional," another says.

But to leave recognising the company's excellence at this, would be to seriously downplay the extent to which the organisation's HR initiatives are thought-leading and worthy of special recognition overall. The firm is heartening evidence of the integral role HR, when done well, can play not only in supporting business success, but also changing –even saving- lives. Take its HR Excellence Award 2016-winning Health and Wellbeing strategy which has brought deaths related to heart conditions down from ten in 2014 to three in 2015. A simplicity and clear business alignment is also in evidence in Wincanton's HR Excellence 2016 award-winning talent management strategy. And with such impressive results, it's little wonder then that group HR director Julie Welch was a worthy HRD of the Year contender.

Did you put up your holiday decorations yet? Some folks have their tree and outdoor lights up before the Thanksgiving turkey comes out of the oven; others prefer to wait until later in the season.
With all the holiday preparations you're making, shopping, wrapping presents, planning holiday meals, getting the house ready for guests or perhaps packing and preparing to leave for a holiday trip, you may be a little more than stressed.
Did you know your dog can pick up on that and be stressed out himself?
Any change in your dog's routine can cause stress. And when your dog is stressed, he may misbehave, including destroying things around the house or chewing up shoes or furniture. He could hurt himself, such as biting or scratching excessively. He might bark a lot or make "messes" while you are gone or act frantically when you return home.
This is your dog's way of telling you he's not getting enough social interaction with you and he's under a lot of stress. Preparing your dog for the holidays can greatly reduce his stress at this time of year.
Here are some simple yet highly effective ways to help your dog chill out during the holidays:
* First, keep your dog's feeding and exercise routine the same throughout the holidays. If you are going away or can't take care of your dog at the usual times, designate a family member or neighbor or hire a pet sitter to provide meals or walks at the usual times.
* When your family is busy with preparations or you're throwing a party, put your dog in a quiet room with plenty of water, a soft, comfy bed and a favorite toy or treat.
* If you're having guests over, work on your dog's greeting manners to save the stress of being constantly corrected. Have a friend or family member knock on the door while you practice sitting and staying with your dog. Give your pet plenty of attention and extra activity before your guests arrive. Be sure to remind your guests not to give your dog any treats or table scraps.
* If you're going away for a holiday vacation, it's important to teach your dog that your departure is not a sign of bad things. Get your dog used to the idea of your being gone. The more that they witness you leaving and coming back, the less shocking the departure will be. Pretend that you're going to leave, but then come right back. Repeat this several times, rewarding your dog when he remains quiet and calm.
* Doing this will help your dog learn to stay relaxed when he sees that you're leaving ... since he never knows when you're actually leaving! After a while, this relaxed way of dealing with your leaving will become the norm for your dog. When you do leave, be sure to remain calm yourself. Try giving him a special toy that will occupy his mind. Casually tell your dog goodbye and leave without a lot of fuss. If you don't treat leaving like a big deal, neither will your dog.

This and that at the shelter: Thank you for participating in Santa Paws (photos with Santa) held at The Pet Stop this past Saturday. We met a lot of pet parents, everyone had a good time and we raised much-needed funds for the shelter. There were approximately 100 dogs, 10 cats, two hamsters, numerous children and some adults who had their pictures taken with Santa. Some families had as many as three dogs. Dogs ranged from 2 pounds to over 100 pounds in size. One gentleman told me he thought "pet people" were the best people in the world and I certainly agree with him. I've never met a "pet parent" I didn't like! We heard many heartwarming stories about how people acquired their pets. Some adopted from our shelter and some took in strays. All said they were a blessing. We met so many kind people, some we knew from Bark in the Park (held every May) and others from visits to the shelter. We even had a television personality ("Full Throttle Saloon" star, Angie Ballard) and her dog attend our function. She adopted the dog from our shelter and he can be seen in their TV series.
Our adoptions have risen lately, which is great news. Through no fault of their own, these pets arrive at the shelter because they were unwanted for some reason. We average taking in over 20 pets a day, every day of the week (except Sunday) only because we are closed to the public. Have you ever wondered what would happen to these pets if there wasn't an animal shelter? Have you ever been to a community that didn't have an animal shelter? There are starving packs of dogs running loose and being shot by citizens and law enforcement. Also, there are huge colonies of cats and kittens, growing daily. It is heartbreaking. Thankfully, because of your donations, Dyersburg has an animal shelter/humane society. We do our best to find each and every one of our shelter pets a home. Sadly, we have many more pets than people to adopt them. Please spay or neuter the pets you now own. Some people are dead-set against spay or neuter. Let me remind you that one cat and its offspring can produce 420,000 cats in seven years; one dog and its offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in six years! (Source: ASPCA) Do you think every one of these pets in these statistics wind up in loving homes? Sadly, no. Many wind up dead, either on the streets or from not being adopted if they are in a "high kill" shelter. Take them to a "no kill" you say? They are extremely picky about what they take. It must be an attractive pet that is highly adoptable. That is because they will have the pet forever if it is not adopted. When they are full, they are full and will take no more. These are tough questions and something to consider when you put off spaying or neutering your pet.
If you can't volunteer or foster, please donate. We depend on your donations to keep our doors open and things running smoothly. We need dog blankets, bath towels, no-tears pet shampoo, sweaters for our small dogs and puppies, good-quality dog and puppy food, cat and kitten food, plus formula for both and pet bottles. The pets appreciate treats and toys, also. Please, no small toys because the dogs will choke. Also no bead eyes/noses, scarves, beanie babies, etc. Medium- and large-size stuffed animals/toys are needed. The babies love to cuddle with a soft, stuffed animal. We are completely out! Since we had a mild winter, fleas are very bad this year and we need Adams' Flea Mist for dogs/puppies and cats/kittens. We also need paper towels, office supplies, hand sanitizer, etc. We ask visitors use hand sanitizer before and after they touch pets. We make every effort to keep our pets disease free. As soon as pets arrive at the shelter, they are given their first round of shots if they are old enough.
Your monetary donations are critically important to us. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your tax-deductible donation to our shelter will only help Dyersburg/Dyer County homeless animals. Our shelter doesn't receive any help from national organizations such as ASPCA, PETA, or HSUS. We have been helping homeless pets for over 30 years. Specify who your donation is to with complete address where notification or acknowledgment should be sent and your complete address. We will do the rest. Categories are: The Beagley Fund (heartworm treatment for shelter pets only), General Fund, Champ Lewis Fund (monetary pet adoption assistance), Save a Life Makeover (professionally clip and groom to make a pet more adoptable), Honorariums and Memorials. Please mail your tax-deductible check to the Dyersburg/Dyer County Humane Society, P.O. Box 223, Dyersburg, TN 38025-0223. Thank you for helping the animals.
Shelter hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday. The shelter is closed to the public on Sunday. We are located at 1120 E. Court St. and phone number is 285-4889.

According to a recent Quest Software survey, organizations now rank restoring critical applications alongside recovering lost data as their top data protection concern. Problematically, ensuring the recoverability of critical applications creates a host of challenges for IT departments. Even worse, the challenges of application recovery cannot be addressed with the same techniques traditionally used to ensure the recoverability of lost data. Here are the top five challenges associated with modern application recovery and top five tips to solve them.

2014 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Trailer
Every year the Forest Service plays an integral role in providing the "People's Tree," named such because it comes from public land and the tree's annual trip is supported by many local communities along the way. The cost of moving the tree, providing ornaments and hosting various events is covered by a nonprofit organization dedicated to the event. Forest Service employees provide support as part of their duties. This year, the Forest Service partnered with the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and Choose Outdoors to make this hugely coordinated effort a success.
Forest Service gets to the heart of wildland firefighters
It takes a certain type of person to fight wildfires. It's not what they look like. Or sound like. It's not their heritage or their culture. It's their heart. A seven-minute U.S. Forest Service recruitment video, "The Heart of a Firefighter," takes viewers as close to being as firefighter as possible through a small screen.
The video opens with the crackling sound of fire then, slowly, the sound of a heartbeat intermixes with sounds of thunder, firefighters talking to each other over radios and, increasingly, the sound of tribal vocals and drumming mixed with the electronic music created by A Tribe Called Red. Intermixed are wildland firefighters describing their jobs and their emotional connection to the work that they do.
Chief Tom Tidwell on the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act
The Forest Service is actively participating in Wilderness50 - the national coalition of government agencies, organizations, and tribal and citizen groups working to commemorate 50 years of wilderness. Wilderness50 is planning a variety of projects and events and also developing resources to assist implementation of local activities throughout the country. The Wilderness50 national theme is "YOURS ... To Enjoy ... To Protect"
Puff and Fluff the owls return home
Puff and Fluff, the baby owls that Forest Service firefighters saved during the Carstens Fire in June 2013, are finally home. Terri Williams of the Fresno Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Servicereleased the Western Screech-Owls on July 24 near where they were found the month before in a downed tree in the Sierra National Forest.
Chips the Baby Bobcat
During the Chips Fire on the Plumas National Forest, a baby bobcat was orphaned. While the Forest Service restored the forest, the bobcat, then known as Chips, recovered at a wild animal rehabilitation facility. Recently, Chips was returned to the wild.

While the dotCover menu appears and lets be run coverage analysis for applications, the coverage button shown is demonstration videos of dotCover to let me run coverage analysis of unit tests does not. Thus, the only way for me to get coverage of, say, an nUnit test suite now is to run the external nUnit runner (GUI or command-line) and then coverage child processes, which is terribly awkward.
I have attempted a reinstall of ReSharper and dotCover, to no effect. I have double-checked the preferences of both products.
Any pointers?
This is for teaching the course "Analysis, Design, and Software Architecture" at the IT University of Copenhagen.
The students' current assignment focuses on synthesizing hand written unit tests in nUnit and automatically generated unit tests in MSTest (via MSR's PEX) and measuring the overall test coverage. Without dotCover working properly, this is a complex proposition.
The students love your products by the way, so I expect that your free academic licensing here will result in many sales down the road.

Comments about 12 oz. Rust-Oleum® Flat Black Acrylic Enamel Spray Paint:
Used the product to apply flat black coating to polished steel. Found that the paint easily scratched and was removed just by brushing against material with cloth even after applying numerous coats and allowing to dry. Eventually decided to use as primer base for stronger scratch resistant paint application. Using paint as a primer actually worked very well, however that is not what the paint is intended for.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

monogram disc earrings | sunglasses | sea salt spray | tinted moisturizer | face sunscreen | sensitive skin sunscreen | pineapple iphone case | large striped pouch
Starting next week I'll be home full-time with my daughter until school starts back up in August. We'll be having lots of mini-adventures to the playground or pool, so my summer essentials definitely revolve around shielding myself from the sun. A sign I'm getting older & wiser! For me summer is about keeping things simple, whether it's my makeup routine or jewelry. With my short hair I use the Bumble & Bumble spray, let it air dry & go. Since my bag is overloaded with toddler stuff usually, I throw in a small pouch with my to-go essentials: lip balm, my cell phone, & wallet. I'll throw in sunscreen for both my daughter & I to reapply but pretty much that's it!
This post is part of the monthly B-Bar linkup, so make sure to check out the other bloggers' summer essentials today!

2014 CMA Music Festival Lineup Announced
The lineup for the 2014 CMA Music Festival has been announced, and as expected, a slew of big artists are slated to perform during the event.
The lineup for the 2014 CMA Music Festival has been announced, and as expected, a slew of big artists are slated to perform during the event.
Controversial comedian and talk show host Bill Maher has upset country music fans and sparked chatter on both sides of the gun control debate.
The 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards nominees have been announced! Tim McGraw and Miranda Lambert lead the race, with seven nominations apiece.
The 2013 CMA Awards drew the biggest audience in four years! The three-hour Nov. 6 broadcast brought 16.6 million people that tuned in to see a night full of country music's biggest stars.
Taylor Swift's performance of 'Red' with Vince Gill and Alison Krauss didn't just earn the 23-year-old a standing ovation at the 2013 CMA Awards, it also generated quite the buzz -- so much so that radio stations and iTunes already have the song.
At the 2013 CMA Awards the Zac Brown Band unveiled their new song "Day For the Dead" featuring David Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Nirvana on the drums, who will also be producing ZBB's next album.
Two scoops of Florida Georgia Line, a pinch of Taylor Swift and heaps of rock-inspired country music turned performances at the 2013 CMA Awards into one surprise after another.
George Strait, the King of Country, reigned supreme at the 2013 CMA Awards, nabbing the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy. The legend, who is retiring from active touring next year, was truly surprised by the win, but we weren't. It's doubtful that any of the country superstars at the ceremony were shocked by his win, either.
The Zac Brown Band used the 2013 CMA Awards to debut a brand new song, 'Day for the Dead' with Foo Fighter's singer, Dave Grohl on drums.
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood provided at least three "Oh no they didn't!" moments during their opening monologue at the 2013 CMA Awards on Wednesday (Nov. 6). Zac Brown, Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift, Julianne Hough, Obamacare, Keith Urban, 'Duck Dynasty' and the 'evil' Kenny Rogers were all targets. Almost everyone took the jabs with a smile.

Murder suspect back in courtJanuary 18,2013
HYDE PARK A Vermont man who has been convicted twice of murder and then had those convictions reversed has returned to court.
Dennis Tribble is facing first-degree murder in the September 2000 shooting of 43-year-old Michael Borello in North Wolcott.
The 62-year-old Tribble, who said he acted in self-defense, shot Borello repeatedly, firing once with a pistol and then going to his truck to get a shotgun before shooting the unarmed Borello several times more as he tried to get away.
The Vermont Supreme Court overturned Tribbles conviction on Dec. 21 saying the judge made several errors. Tribbles first conviction also had been tossed.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Tribble said in court on Wednesday that he would represent himself in his upcoming arraignment, which has not been scheduled.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A new coalition of 18 organizations said Wednesday it will push lawmakers and a new...

Negotiating The Worst Dates To Fly In 2016
Although cheap flight deals are far easier to find these days, there are still certain times of the year you should try to avoid if cost is a priority.
However, with school holidays and unforeseen circumstances, this sometimes isn't an option. To help, we've outlined the most expensive days to fly in 2016, accompanied by a few tips for ensuring you don't break the bank.
Worst Days To Fly
The following dates are a general guide to heavy travel times, but may change depending on the airline.
24 March: This is the Thursday before the Easter long weekend, so expect peak pricing due to extra demand.
5 June: The start of the European high summer travel period and Australian winter school holidays mean peak travel prices kick in for both regions, continuing throughout the season.
17 June: Travel to North America will attract peak prices, as the high travel season begins from this date.
23 September: Third-term school holidays start, meaning popular family destinations such as Fiji, Bali, Phuket, Hawaii and Los Angles incur higher prices from increased demand.
30 September: If you're heading to Melbourne this weekend, you'd want to be attending the AFL grand final to justify the inflated travel prices.
26 November: Schoolies for NSW and Victoria students increased prices for Gold Coast flights. Most people avoid this area during schoolies anyway.
22 December: Prices climb the week before Christmas and stay that way for much of the festive season, lowering again when most people have returned to work and school.

Expert Guides On Planning Your Flight
Travel Advice
- As a general rule, the price of all domestic flights increases the closer to the date of flying, so avoid last-minute travel.
- Parents eyeing a family holiday this year should plan early and secure flights and accommodation as soon as possible.
- Waiting too long to book means you run the risk of incurring higher prices as flight and accommodation availability dwindles and costs climb.
Tom Walley, head of leisure travel at Flight Centre
- The nature of supply and demand influences flight prices. When availability declines, airfares and accommodation prices will increase.
- Travel is fairly cyclical. Suppliers know what times of year the majority of people fly and price accordingly.
- Airlines tier their seat prices and release a limited number of seats at the cheapest lead-in price. During peak-season travel there are still lower-priced flights available, but this seat allocation is exhausted quicker and the price increases from there.
- Fortunately, we're in the golden age of travel. There has never been a cheaper time for international airfares with increased capacity and competition driving prices down. Avoid peak season, or at least book early, and you will still score a great-value holiday.

Give me big cities and culture over nature and wide open spaces any day, with the exception of a white sandy beach of course. Consider me a traveller with champagne tastes on a beer budget; I'd love my time overseas to be more glamorous than it often is. When in a new city you'll find me exploring the back streets to discover hidden gems by day and chatting with the locals with a drink in hand by night.

The first time I dropped acid was in 1988. That night I watched Derek Jarman's Caravaggio, a radical retelling of the famed painter's life, full of homoerotic images and pithy quotes like "The stars are the diamonds of the poor." In '94 I fell asleep at the feet of my increasingly blind friend, art gallery owner William Jamison, as he "watched" a bootleg copy of Jarman's Blue, a film with only one image: a blue screen. And in '04 I met actress Tilda Swinton at a downtown bar while she was working on a film in Portland. All I could do was talk to her about working with "him."
These are my memory fragments of Derek Jarman.
I revisited the works of this queer Brit filmmaker—who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1994 at the age of 52—last night with my partner. Like many under the age of 40, he'd heard of Jarman but never seen any of his work. That could change now that the Northwest Film Center has decided to screen 10 Jarman classics over 20 nights.
Derek kicks off the NWFC's retrospective. It's a poignant way to get to know this Thatcher-era director's distinctively disjointed works. For the '08 documentary, Derek's director, Isaac Julien, refused to just run clips of Jarman's career (although he does include naughty bits from his first feature, 1976's Sebastian, the X-rated story of the pierced Christian martyr told via gay porn-ish vignettes and Latin). That might seem unfair to those of us who are well acquainted enough with Jarman works to know what an injustice that could be to his unique style of fragmented filmmaking. But for this biopiclike project, Julien's masterstroke was the use of Jarman's one true discovery: Tilda Swinton. The Academy Award winner whom Jarman so brilliantly first cast in Caravaggio serves as the film's narrator, co-executive producer and emotional center. Together Julien and Swinton stitch together a film that not only tells Jarman's tales but echoes his own work.
It begins on a blustery day in Jarman's infamous Kent garden full of cock-shaped rocks. It is here where a blankly staring, skeletal Swinton gently reminisces about her old friend. Jarman himself pops up as a guide through the film as it winds us through his abusive childhood and early adulthood to his life as an out gay activist, artist and author. But it's through his 30-some works as a film director that he gains the status of gay icon (to wit, he made music videos for Pet Shop Boys and the Smiths). After his untimely death in 1994, Swinton notes, Jarman begins to slip from our collective consciousness. Which, according to Swinton, is the way Jarman wanted it. Likewise, I can't say I enjoyed—or have even stayed awake for—every one of Jarman's film I've seen, but once-viewed slivers of them are stuck to my brain, which I suspect might be just what Jarman wanted.

Okay - don't go getting all excited, but there have been a number of people successful in buying legitimate Glastonbury tickets from Aloud.com over the last day or so...read on here!
Where they are coming from is not quite clear, but from time to time there are tickets to Glastonbury Festival 2004 coming up for sale through the website of the official ticket agency – Aloud.com.
It has been confirmed by people on our official Glastonbury message boards that a few lucky die-hards have managed to obtain late availability tickets, and the following advice was given to one person who took the trouble to phone Aloud about the situation:-
"…they said tickets will be coming up for sale every so often so just keep trying. NOTE what they did say is not worth trying after 8.00 pm Mon-Fri or after 3.00pm on Sat and never on Sun as it depends on the event managers being in!"
So if you don't have a ticket to Glastonbury yet then there is still a small glimmer of hope, but the chances are still stacked against you, so don't get too optimistic.
Good luck – and for those fortunate enought to get their hands on legitimate tickets, we'll see you there!

Last week I shared a video explaining how prices help generate and convey knowledge in a free society. Shortly after posting, I came across this article, which is a great example of how prices and profit & loss can direct the owner's use of resources. Here's some things to notice if you read the article:
- McDonald's made small changes that the consumers really liked. No matter how much testing is done in focus groups, nothing can tell you as much as what people actually buy or do (we call this revealed preference).
- For many of us (me included, as I just had an Egg McMuffin last weekend), we probably couldn't even articulate the changes that were made. It doesn't really matter – people like it better than their alternatives.
- They've made some changes to the way they cook burgers. According to the article, the company hasn't said if/how those changes have affected sales. Hopefully we'll hear about this.
The vast knowledge a free society generates may seem mundane or unimportant, but it is not. If we aren't thinking critically, it might be tempting to say, "who cares what kind of breakfast sandwich people eat?" It can be hard to remember that it's not just about a breakfast sandwich. Anytime someone spends resources (whether money or time) on something, it tells us a few things:
- Something about preferences and therefore what creates value for that person. Remember, value creation is about making people's lives better, which is subjective. Preferences matter!
- They gave up something in order to get this (opportunity cost). In the case of a breakfast sandwich, this person gave up time ordering it, money they could have spent on something else, AND the opportunity to eat a different breakfast.
- While we may not be able to tell much about each individual sale, in combination the small choices made by thousands or millions of people can send a good deal of information to producers about what to produce. This is an efficient and effective way to use resources on things people care about vs. what some company things they should care about.
What's your reaction to the story? What are other types of everyday knowledge producers can learn from prices and profit & loss?
