Ozone/UV systems for drinking water treatment
Multiple treatment reactions and benefits are obtained at ozonation, all at the same time. Ozone based advanced oxidation processes are important because of reactions with organic molecules that are not readily oxidized by ozone. One challenge beverage suppliers face is the need to deliver a product free of bacteria and with extended shelf life. Because of its powerful disinfectant properties, environmentally clean treatment process and its oxidative ability, ozone has become the technology of choice among water bottlers worldwide.
Drinking water solutions for the UV disinfection performance
Problem: Waterborne pathogens can cause serious disease outbreaks. Drinking water disinfection forms the final barrier between these pathogens and humans. For drinking water disinfection, ultraviolet (UV) light has proven to be the best method for inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia parasites found in natural waters. Organic matter and suspended particles in water absorb and scatter UV light, interfering with pathogen inactivation by UV irradiation.

Water filtration with UV purification for education
Wastewater solutions for wastewater UV disinfection performance
Problem: Prior to environmental discharge, wastewater is disinfected to ensure pathogens present in the water are inactivated. Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is becoming a widely accepted treatment technology for wastewater disinfection due to the deleterious effects of chlorine on aquatic life. The ability for the UV light to penetrate the water is directly related to the concentration of suspended particles and organic matter in water that absorb or scatter the light.
Ozone/UV systems for swimming pool water treatment
Studies have proven that chlorine use has negative consequences due to the formation of byproducts, i.e. chlorinated organic compounds and chloramines. Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes, drying out the skin as well as "chlorine smell" are well known troubles. However, these byproducts also accelerate the corrosion in pool halls and significant risk is given by their toxicity (chloramines, combined chlorine) and/or carcinogenicity. Higher rate of asthma prevalence is one of the consequences. These are the reasons why the combined chlorine content - as a marker of chlorination byproducts presence - is to be monitored and why its limit values are specified by authorities. To meet the limits can be tedious and expensive because more water has to be changed and heated up. Chlorine disinfection is not sufficient to prevent infections caused by some waterborne pathogens as dangerous protozoan parasites Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia.
Ozone/UV systems for Industrial, municipal, and residential wastewater treatment
In 2004-2005 LIFETECH`s laboratory worked out an advanced oxidation process (AOP) for removal of dioxins and furans (PCDD/F), chlorophenols and other contaminants from the BCD process wastewater. Consequently, our technology was installed and from April 2006 successfully used in the `Spolana-Dioxins` Project at SPOLANA a.s. in Neratovice, Czech Republic, as a part of Special Wastewater Treatment Plant. Our supply consisted of an ozone generator with the output of 5 kg O3/h at 10% w/w ozone concentration, two reaction tanks with mixing systems, a vent ozone destructor, and a control system. The world largest project for removal of PCDD/F was managed by BCD CZ a.s., a subsidiary of Thermal and Chemical Soil Remediation Ltd.
Bromate analysis for the drinking water industry
Bromate forms during the ozonization of drinking water. Several international standards stipulate detection limits and test methods. Conductivity detection with chemical suppression allows the determination of bromate in the lower μg/L range. In the ng/L range, bromate can be detected by IC/MS coupling or post-column derivatization with potassium iodide and subsequent UV detection.

Ultraviolet Disinfection for Drinking Water
By atg UV Technology based in Wigan, UNITED KINGDOM.
Water treatment solutions for the ultraviolet disinfection
The process to reduce the amount of microorganisms in water, by means of ultraviolet light is called "ultraviolet disinfection". It is used in all kinds of water to reduce the amount of microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, viruses, fungi, algae. Ultraviolet (UV) light is a natural part of sunlight, whereas the short wavelengths are absorbed by the protecting ozone layer. UV lamps designed for water disinfection use a gas mixture containing the element mercury (Hg). The Mercury vapour is an advantageous gas for UV disinfection applications because it emits light in the germicidal ('germs killing') wavelength range (UVC and UVB).

Filtration in waste water treatments. disinfection
The cost and efficiency of the waste water treatment is directly linked to the amount of suspended solids in the water.
The addition of an AZUD System allows:
- Increased efficiency of the treatment equipment.
- Decreases the quantity of chemicals used.
- Avoids the "shadowing effect" created by larger particles in UV disinfection systems.
By Sistema Azud, S.A. based in Alcantarilla, SPAIN.
Wastewater solutions for ballast water treatment monitoring
Problem: To operate safely and efficiently, cargo ships take in water to provide stability. This water, referred to as ballast, carries all kinds of bacteria, microbes and micro-algae. The ballast water must inevitably be discharged when the ship takes on cargo, often thousands of kilometers away from the port of origin, transferring pathogens and aquatic organisms that can cause serious environmental, economic and health problems.

"Hey....Alcatraz...Wake up," A soft, milky voice called to me. My mind floated in a foggy land, pictures and memories haunting me. From the stabbing of my mother, where I would stop plunging the knife into her. Over, and over, blood flying back into my face as her screams tore apart the air. My two younger sisters cowering in the corner next to the dead and disemboweled corpse that was my father. One, little Alua, coming to me and pleading with me to stop. Finally, I turned to them, my body soaked in blood as my hand held the knife.
"Allie! Allie! Please stop, what have mama and papa done to deserve this? They loved you! What in the god's name have you done?!"
That was the word...that one word sent me over to edge. What in the god's name did I do, I killed my parents because of their feverish worship of those damned deities. Alua and Sann, my two innocent sisters with lambs white hair. Their sparkling blue eyes looking to me, tears dripping down their perfectly tanned faces. But they had followed my parents, like sheep to the slaughter, they unwittingly followed. And so they died along side my parents...alot more humane but still, death came.
Then came to images of my realization of what I had become, a vampire. Mind you I didn't know that was the name, but I became angry and scared. My skin drained of color, my eyes became red as the blood I had spilled. Large canine fangs then grew and pricked my lower lip every time I spoke or smiled. Then the hunger, the searing...painful hunger. How on those first nights, I became intoxicated with the smell of blood. Visiting the local brothels, how messy I was in retrospect. Crimson splattered across my face, on the bed, and all over their naked bodies.
Lastly, the images of my time with my three vampire friends, how over time we unknowingly met and came to live in the large mansion just outside the city. The nights of laughter and joy that fell into rage and sadness. The gods intervening until we arrived where I am now, a lonely vampire.
My lover now a god, my one great friend and intellectual also a god. Just so they could save their true loves. Something I thought I was to Charlotte, apparently not. Even after our night of wild passion, exchanged kisses, and words of eternal love. She chooses her human lover...then Paethos has the gall to ask if I wanted to go back in time, to when I was human. To when I was inferior!
My eyes fluttered to see Lilith's creamy skin and long blonde hair. I was lying in her lap, resting in the middle of the living room. The house felt so empty now, as if it's life was stolen. My throat tingled where it had finally healed, and I stared up at Lilith...angry and confused. She offered me a weak smile, leaning down to kiss my lips. I flinched and pulled away, she pulled me back and pressed her frame tightly to mine. Tears stained her face as her lips spoke centimeters from mine.
"We're all that we have left for each other, Alcatraz. Charlotte and Paethos...their gone, gods now. Only you and I know each other, love each other. Her lips pressed against mine, tongue snaking into my mouth. I wanted to cry, to pull away and run to Charlotte's room but I couldn't. I just imagined that Lilith was Charlotte, that she was the one kissing me, undressing me, rocking me and writhing with me on the cold floor. It was a lovely deception, one I wished was true.

Aptly named Nicholas Newlife, a gambler from Kidlington in Oxford, bequeathed his estate – and all outstanding bets – to Oxfam when he died. The charity reaped £16,750 after he bet Roger Federer would win 14 Grand Slams by 2020 and will gain a further £101,840 if Federer wins Wimbledon again in the next 10 years. So stop cheering for Murray! The total will reach £330,000 if all the bets Newlife laid pay out. And 14-year-old Paralympic swimmer Lyndon Longhorne was handed a box of Liquorice Allsorts stuffed with £5,000 by a mystery elderly couple (not Mr & Mrs Bertie Bassett) in the playground of his school in Bishop Auckland to help his plans to compete in London in 2012. It takes all sorts.
The time in hours and minutes that Olympic sprint hopeful Faisal Mohyud-Din and fellow Salford University student Mohammed Azeem hugged each other to raise funds for a cancer unit. They clinched the world record by 16 minutes.
Turbulent relationships of the week
Gary Neville is having to draw upon all his defensive nous to head off a campaign by 300 villagers in Affetside, near Bolton, to stop him building a 180ft wind turbine next to his proposed £6m eco-mansion, a system of Stone Age-style underground bunkers that have been likened to the Teletubbies' home. Locals are also up in arms in the village of Throwley in Kent. Dr Alan Murphy has been ordered to soundproof his tennis court after neighbours complained the players' grunts "upset their summer garden parties". "The balls would constantly end up in your Pimm's," said one irate resident. Planners have instructed Dr Murphy to "sink the court deeper". How low can British tennis go?
Good week for
Christine Bleakley, TV presenter water-skied across the Channel to raise money for Sport Relief... Daisy Goldsmith, of Bridgwater in Somerset, became the youngest referee in the UK after turning 14 – and awarded a penalty against her school friends at Chilton Trinity on her debut... and joggers, who have more active sex lives – one in 10 runners make love every day, compared to less than once a month for those who never run.
Bad week for
Sir Stirling Moss, motor-racing legend, 80, fell 30ft down a lift-shaft at his London home, fracturing both ankles and chipping four vertebrae in his back... JPR Williams, rugby legend convicted of drunk-driving despite trying to beat the breath test by sucking pennies... and Gordon Brown, Prime Minister was refused a guest slot on 'Match of the Day 2' to discuss 2018 World Cup bid.
Spirit measures of the week
A speedway team in Newport, Wales tried to halt a 10-year run of bad results by having their stadium exorcised. The TV celebrity priest Rev (Vroom! Vroom!) Lionel Fanthorpe conducted a trackside ritual at the Wasps' Hayley Stadium to lift a curse placed on the club by a gypsy woman who threw a wooden spoon at an official after her encampment was told to vacate the car park. Legendary New Zealand wing John Kirwan has turned to ancient spiritual leverage techniques – or "Jedi magic" – in his bid to toughen up the Japan rugby team, hiring a 90-year-old aikido master who "teaches nurses to lift people who are twice their weight, like Yoda!". In other news: Darth Vader to coach All-Blacks.

I waited for Guy in his room I don't why but ever inch of my being wanting him to pay for upsetting Maloria she was in love with him. As he walked in the his room the lights we not on, this was an advantage for as my vision is best in the dark. I ran forward grabbed him pushed him against the wall, you see Guy is strong but I had just fed so my powers for the moment are stronger. I hissed into his ears "if you had a brain you treat Maloria with respect you scum bag if you ever make her cry" I tightened my grip on his arms that made him wince. " I mean ever you will suffer, now pay attention to her she will be needed foe our up coming fights"
I let go of him and hell fell on the floor so I stepped of him and walked out of the door, I would of happly killed him but killed him but I don't think Maloria would be pleased. Guy came storming out of his room and and punched me in the stomach which sent me flying in to kitchen, I heard Maloria scream as I smashed pots. As I got to my feet Guy jumped at me and pinned me to the floor I hissed and tried to snap at him with my pointy canine teeth " Don't you dare tell me what to do you filthy creature" Maloria was screaming in our heads telling us to stop, Guy picked a shard of glass my eyes grew wide please no not again he raised his arm slowly and slashed my thought with on quick blow. I was human I would die but mi dead all I need is blood, so he sat on me until I was nearly dead. Despite the efforts of Maloria to pull off it didn't help I was nearly dead and I was lying in the pool of my own blood Guy had stood up and walked away, I couldn't speak any more so I thought in my head knowing Maloria would " please fetch me donor please" she ran over to me tear flowing down her face "there wont be time" she took in a deep breathe " drink mine I know you know I don't like it but I can't loose you" I didn't want to when you nearly dying the hunger takes over. She exposed the soft flesh of her neck and I open my mouth and licked her the skin on her neck I could sense the blood flowing underneath oh how I needed it. I pulled her down to me and sunk my teeth in to her neck, how can I describe how her blood tasted it was the sweetest thing I have ever tasted, I saw inside her head how she was me a close friend it killed me knowing she thought nothing more of me, that's how I know how much pain she go's threw yet shell never know how much I lover her. I saw how she saw Guy and I couldn't stop a hiss reaching my lips when I had taken what I needed I realised her and fell in to a deep sleep to allow my body to heel.

Social Selling Companies - Building Your Team and Culture
by Mark Newman
by Mark Newman
In this video, Mark Newman, Founder and CEO of HireVue shares with us his thoughts on building a team with a social selling mindset - on social selling companies. Specifically, you will learn:
Mark Newman is the Founder and CEO of HireVue. As HireVue's Founder and CEO, Mark Newman introduced the world to HireVue's innovative Talent Interaction Platform™ and On Demand Interviews™, improving the job interview experience and helping businesses more efficiently identify, engage, and hire top talent. HireVue's solutions have provided services in more than 150 countries to organizations ranging from emerging growth companies to 20 of the Fortune 100.
Watch this exclusive 22 minute video by Mark Newman now.
Chris: Welcome everybody. My name is Chris Cannon, business development director at HireVue. It is an honor to introduce you to our next speaker, my good friend Mark Newman of HireVue. Mark is the CEO and founder of HireVue. He has earned the 2013 Inc 30 under 30, which is a huge accomplishment, and one of the things that I love about Mark is he's very passionate about people and what they bring to our organization, their stories. With that being said, take it away Mark.
Mark: Yeah, thanks for having me. Like Chris mentioned, my name is Mark Newman. I'm founder and CEO of HireVue. I've been working on HireVue for ten years of my life and I'm absolutely just committed to helping organizations build and accelerate the greatest teams in the world. As part of this session, you can obviously ask any questions. You can send them to @markhirevue on Twitter or #socialselling. Kind of go through it all and get questions answered.
What we're here to talk about today is building your social selling team and culture inside your organization. We know there is a tremendous amount of incredible content that's being shared today from all sorts of great speakers and all sorts of great methodologies and companies and whatever and where we look at HireVue's role is to help organizations figure out how you want to take it all together and build your team to actually be able to enable the skills. So you build your team and then accelerate your team's performance around all of that. We have a kind of driving force inside of our business in terms of what is this and what that is is how we focus on this idea that people aren't profiles or resumes or numbers or quotas or whatever it might be.
It's actually that people are stories and experiences and ideas and from our perspective, the leading edge organizations are those that are going to bring people and their stories and experiences to life. Our core focus is on enabling people to tell their story and to demonstrate their ability to work. We're talking about that today in the context of building social selling culture into your organization.
So to really do this effectively, you have to think about it first around what are the questions that we're gonna want to work through in the next few minutes as we talk through this because you want to do this effectively inside of your organization and it requires first a new mindset, second obviously there is the question around how you do it, and third how you are going to empower it inside of the organization because obviously you want a public facing element. From a social selling perspective, you want to be sharing, you want to be connecting people publicly. Well, how do you also do that internally? Well, that's what we're gonna be working through here.
So first let's talk about the new mindset that's necessary around training, coaching, and developing teams. The main factor that drives us, and this effects every organization in the world, specifically painful to have sales, CEOs, managers, founders, you name it. I mean to be totally candid when somebody doesn't talk about HireVue rights, like a knife to my stomach and I know that goes the same for all of our great partners as part of the social selling summit. And it comes down to this idea that 87% of sales training is forgotten within 30 days. That's product knowledge. That's intrinsic, not only in their head, but in their heart and their mind and in their ability to deliver the market. Product knowledge, positioning, objection handling, scenarios, value proposition, you name it. And it's just painful. So how do we do that today? Well, we've all been through it. Right?
We've been through it hundreds or thousands of times and it starts first with let's get everybody together for sales kickoff, Monday morning enabling the call. Whatever it might be. Let's teach the content and then hope that we can assess for it somehow. Maybe we assess, you know, maybe through a test, maybe through some sort of certification, who knows. But in 99% of the cases, it's generally well let's just assess to see did it work and the way that we're gonna assess did it work is sales results or conversion rates, whatever it might be. And then, oh it didn't so let's teach it again. This model is broken. It's for a different age and we're looking at new approaches, new technology, and support and different perspectives on that. We've been through this each 1,000 times. Mark goes for sales takeoff. Ben teaches the course on social selling.
He might of even attended social selling event that we're doing here taking all this great content, going back to the team and saying, "I'm going to teach you guys how to socially sell." And the sales David said, "Great, fantastic. Mark went through this, let's put him to work." So then Ben teaches some more. Mark may or may not get it. It's this idea of learn, assess, learn. Because in this day and age it doesn't matter about age, it doesn't about skill, it doesn't matter about background or whatever in terms of capabilities, what we've found is that we want to take a different approach and flip the model on its head. So the new approach that we're working through here, and finding some very interesting insights inside the market in terms of effective, is this idea that it's assess, learn, assess.
What we mean by assess, learn, assess is to first benchmark where is somebody at currently. From there, rather than giving a blanket teaching program or blanket education program to everybody, play to their strength of what somebody else understands and fill in the gaps. And then after that, assess again to figure out did it stick. This totally changes the traditional model of coaching, training, and developing building teams on its head, but it drives massive results inside of any organization.
Here's how it ends up looking. So in the concept of social selling, for instance might be focused on leveraging LinkedIn and then going after the market using LinkedIn in various creative ways. If you just kind of have this presupposed hypothesis of what somebody knows, you go in and you go here's what we need to teach you about LinkedIn. The way that we see the new world happening though is that you first figure out, well what does Mark know to get started. It turns out he knows 50% of what he needs to know and we'll show you how that works. He might know obviously filling out profiles, emails, connections. He might just need some work around people discovery or spidering across different organizations to figure out who knows who or who knows what or various programs like that. The feedback here is that it gets driven right to the instructor who fills in the gaps rather than trying to deliver a blanket learning program.
What we end up finding is that the rep, Mark in this case, ramps 2X faster and the head of sales wins. And our belief in that is the same as when you take it back to the software development cycles. A lot of people are familiar with waterfall software development where you've been treating [SP] your own companies. You plan on this big giant launch a year from now or two years from now or the big delivery of the code for your new product and you start building and you start building and you start building and you hope that you deliver what you actually end up needing. We kind of look at it as it needs to be actionable, it needs to agile.
So it isn't about doing the training and hoping for the best three to six months from now, checking a pipeline, seeing a conversion bundle and seeing if it worked. It's actually about saying on day zero you assess for a baseline, on day one you provide the pointed training for the gaps, and day two you already start driving success. And we see this happening time and time again, moving from learn, assess, learn to assess, learn, assess. The goal here is that no feedback loop from the effectiveness of your training programs, the effectiveness of your enablement programs or anything like that should be more than a 30 day turnaround cycle. You should be able to assess did it stick, did it work, and are we ready to rock and roll.
So obviously understanding the concepts of...the mindset needs to change, how we do things needs to evolve. It's easy to buy into that, but then it kind of goes into this idea of what does this mean, how do I do it, and, frankly, why do we do it all. It goes back to what I first talked about here where 65% of sales leaders believe their sales reps lack the ability to correctly articulate the value proposition and I think we can all look ourselves in the mirror right now and laugh and say, "Is it only 65%?" It is absolutely painful for every sales leader, CEO, founder, you name it, somebody who is passionate about a brand or an experience to watch it just not get told or articulated or handled in the way that you actually believe it should be.
In every performance curve of your organization, you always recognize the top performers, you always generally understand who the bottom performers are, you recognize the tops, you move the bottom out, but there's the forgotten middle that you have to worry about here. In this forgotten middle, the variance in performance between the top 10% and the bottom 10% is the variance in the customer experience that you have to go through each and every day. So how do you get this tighter and righter? First, tighter in terms of being much more aligned around how you're going to do things and then the righter in terms of how you improve it all. That's what we're going to be going through next here.
So in this new world where you can be leveraging video and digital interviewing and various mobile capabilities out there in the market from priors like HireVue or other organizations. First, the best analogy to think about all of this is just like an athlete working to get ready for a marathon or a race or whatever it might be. Gotta do the same thing for your pitch, for your value proposition, for your objection handling, and you name it. And in this day and age when you do have these tools at your fingertips, we posit that you should be looking at new ways of doing things. So first is the idea of not just come in and have your sales enabling person teach somebody, but how do you actually enable people to be able to practice. So how are their warm ups which are daily skills, talents, scenarios, and scavenger hunts. We're going to show ideas around that tied directly to social selling that you can implant in your organization immediately.
So first let's start with warm ups. So warm ups obviously allow reps to get repetitions of what they're learning. Same analogy of when you're working out, when you're trying to get ready for a big race or whatever it might be, and you're kind of doing your first initial stretches. You gotta get muscle memory going here and the muscle memory has to happen from day in the life, real work in terms of what you're kind of going after. So it's a new topic so daily skills, challenges, it takes learning into the future, there's all sorts of programs around creative thinking and feedback. What we're seeing best in class organizations do is that this might be small, little, micro-assessments of, okay you just got this person on the phone.
What's the value proposition that you deliver to them and record it through video, through a mobile device. It could be in the moment, here's an email from a customer, here's somebody pushing back and respond to it and you take the best answers and you share them with the team, you take the worst answers and you understand who you need to coach for, but you do this not in the big giant test format. You did this in this quick, fast, iterative program on a day-by-day basis or a week-by-week basis. What this ends up driving is creative thinking and abilities and, frankly, some competition around how to do it best and who gets praise and who gets kudos and we're really pulling this off.
Next phase of it is scenarios so tied right back to social selling here. It's one thing to say here's how you fill out your LinkedIn profile and here's somebody on LinkedIn and here's this and here's this and here's that and they have 500 connections. It looks like they have lots of connections on LinkedIn and we know how that goes. Unfortunately, it's kind of painful because what you generally do is you teach for the mean, not for the human, not for the individual. So you just kind of have to guess the wide variance of where everyone could possibly fit or, frankly, it's not even the mean it's the lowest common denominator. From a scenarios perspective, as an example for social selling which provides everybody here post-recession is this idea of all right so let's kind of go through a scenario. A day in the life walk through that everyone kind of goes through and experiences. An exercise that you provide to your team citing this idea of who the VP of sales at X whatever company.
What Presentations have they given that are published publicly. So on their LinkedIn profile, what are the slideshow presentations and watch and consume it? What do you think about it? Third, what do they use as a description for their wall? What does it tell you about the person? We've seen it. Inside of a profile there's people that actually take time to fill it out that you can understand that they're aspirational, you can understand that they're trying to get on to big things, that they're very career driven so guess what, when you approach them you want to teach them how to win. There's other people who don't engage in there, who don't want to be on there, who are on there because somebody invited them a long time ago and you know what that could actually be a representation of are they a bit more of a load there? Can you approach the same way or what have you?
Next one. Crafting a tweet in an email that you would send this person to get their attention. How do you connect with them on LinkedIn? How do you send the right email? Is there different ways to approach them so that they're familiar as soon as they see the invite and then how do you follow up? Something around like, okay you found the contact information, let's call this person and record that voicemail and lastly you got them on the phone. "This is so and so." Now what? It's not about teaching rote here's what LinkedIn is about and here's what you can do with it and here's how it works. It's about setting real life scenarios that you go through, that you figure out. They're super easy to do and they're like warming up at the gym to get ready for your workout.
Last idea here, and this is, frankly, my personal favorite, is the idea of the scavenger hunt. This kind of takes concepts from the scenario that essentially is like putting Easter eggs out there for somebody to go and find. So, go and find what the business initiative is of XYZ company. Okay, on this day they did a press release about a new product launch. What was it? Why is that important? How would you take that into the email to the head of sales to get in front of him? So and so just announced this. How do you want to address this problem? Take the time to build not only the scenarios, but then put the rep on a scavenger hunt. It's quick, it's easy, it can be engaging, it can be fun, and more importantly it can be empowering and helping people blueprint or whatever.
You don't teach people how to blueprint. The thought of guidance of you know, give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. The same thing when it comes to sales training. You don't just say, "Okay yeah, here's some protein and here's some calories and here's how you do it and here's how you life these weights." It's okay let's start working through it. Let's go through this program and how we want to evolve this over time and get really into it. And this is how you can kind of be doing these types of things in this whole new world of social selling or any other kind of concept inside of your organization.
The third and final piece around how this all gets pulled together, why is this relevant today, and why does this all make sense is really one of around empowerment because what you'll find is you don't everything, your sales enabling person doesn't know everything, a single rep doesn't know everything, and our organizations are more distributed, they're more virtual and so how is it that we actually have that person in New York learn from the person in L.A. and the person in Oklahoma and how do they approach it and how do they do this? Well, that's kind of what tools and solutions like HireVue and InsideSales and other organizations that are part of this program really help kind of drive and help pull together.
As we see it, how do you ensure that people can engage on their own time? Guess what? They missed Monday calls. Guess what? A Monday morning training phone call isn't lasting, isn't memorable. How do you make it easily share-able? We've all tried going through mobile apps to record something to then be able to share it all out. How do we make it personalized and the best part when you talk about working together is how do you take the people that get it and share that information with the people that don't or the people that need coaching?
In our world, from our perspective and how we see things end up happening, we look at it from this point of view of where you can build the scenarios, the scavenger hunts, or whatever it might be. People record their answers. There's an easy mechanism to do that. You take the answers. You share the best. You coach on the worst and you develop it over time. You figure out how people evaluate, how do people coach and measure even language analysis and predictive analytics around how is somebody feeling around motivation, engagement, distress, personality style, and how does that track over time. This is the perspective from HireVue and we're new to this market in the sales solution tools and team enablement for sales organizations, but we have a rich history in terms of how we've been going to market in terms of helping build the greatest teams in the world.
But there's all sorts of new ways and new things and new approaches in the world to doing these types of programs. Leveraging Salesforce, leveraging Salesforce chatter, leveraging tools like InsideSales to connect people, recording calls and sharing them inside of your organization. Not just to say, oh yeah, this is how Dave did it or even worse, hey Chris would you stand up on Monday to talk about how you won this deal? And well I won based on relationship or I lost based on price. How do you take real actionable day in the life content, a real phone call, a real presentation, a real objection handling, as close to reality as you possibly can do it and show the best and coach on the worst and really drive an optimization side of your team.
This all comes together in something just like social selling and just like how we're doing things today. For us as we go back to it all, we want to enable people to be able to tell their story, we want them to be able to demonstrate their ability to work. We come from a world where we say profiles don't matter, backgrounds don't matter, experiences are really what counts. The school of life. The school of hard knocks. That's how you kind of do it. And then it's on us to help people tell their story and demonstrate their ability to work. To even the playing fields. We think it's important, we think it's powerful, we think its empowering, we think it draws your attention inside of organizations, but more importantly in the realities of today, just like social selling, it's because there isn't just a single person and a single profile or a single type of person on your team that is that social selling expert.
Two other speakers today as part of the social selling summit is Gabe Villamizar and David Bradford. They're about 40 years of age difference. They came from different backgrounds. One grew up in Montana, one grew up in Venezuela. One can barely rent a car and one has owned 20 of them. They have a core competency around connecting with people online through various social media mechanisms. They know how to create enduring, engaging relationships that drive business value and drive revenue. They have all sorts of the same types of attributes in types of these, but what it tells us as well is that you can't just think because David is a little older he has no idea what he's talking about and because Gabe's young, he does.
And so that's where it really comes down to this. Typical training programs, typical learning programs aren't going to cut it anymore. As you think about your new world of building teams and building a culture of social selling and social learning and everything about the inside of your organization. First it takes a new mindset, evolving from learn, assess, learn to assess, learn, assess. If you go back to the example of Gabe and David. If you learn first, you'd say David's in his 60s, he probably knows nothing, let's teach him this course. But in fact if you assess first, you'd go wow! Gabe and David know a tremendous amount of content around this. Let's fill in the gaps doing X and then let's assess again to make sure did it stick.
You see the problem, you see the solution from a different angle. You figure out what is that micro-learning that you need to be able to assess and do and then more importantly, if Gabe nails something or if David nails something, how do you take that content and share it with the rest of the organization to empower everybody. It's a new world around training and development and building the world's greatest teams. You see things constantly evolving, new methodologies, new approaches, new opportunities, new ways of connecting with customers and whatever. And it's okay to not know everything yourself. You just need a core competency on figuring out who does know it and how to share it with the rest of the organization to really build the best kickass teams in the world. So thank you for having me today and listening in. We're happy to help in any possible way, but there's all sorts of terrific resources out there. You can reach out to me at any time on LinkedIn or @markhirevue on Twitter and obviously for the benefit of all of us, let's make sure to use #socialselling. Thank you Chris.

Syntaxin-1, synaptobrevin/VAMP, and SNAP25 interact to form the SNARE complex, which is required for synaptic vesicle docking and fusion. Additionally we are shipping Syntaphilin Antibodies (36) and Syntaphilin Proteins (16) and many more products for this protein.
syntaphilin is an inhibitor of both SNARE (show NAPA ELISA Kits)-based fusion and dynamin (show DNM1 ELISA Kits)-mediated endocytosis
SNPH deletion produces striking benefits in the Shiverer (show MBP ELISA Kits) mouse by prolonging survival, reducing cerebellar damage, suppressing oxidative stress, and improving itochondrial health.
syntaphilin expression in astrocytes at the optic nerve might be involved in axonal injury.
SNPH is required for activity-dependent regulation of mitochondrial transport.
Here, we report a role for axon-targeted syntaphilin (SNPH) in mitochondrial docking through its interaction with microtubules. Axonal mitochondria that contain exogenously or endogenously expressed SNPH lose mobility.
Our studies suggest an unexpected role for LC8 (show DYNLL1 ELISA Kits) and provide new mechanistic insights into how SNPH and LC8 (show DYNLL1 ELISA Kits) together immobilize mitochondria through a dynamic interaction between the docking receptor and axonal cytoskeleton.
Syntaxin-1, synaptobrevin/VAMP, and SNAP25 interact to form the SNARE complex, which is required for synaptic vesicle docking and fusion. The protein encoded by this gene is membrane-associated and inhibits SNARE complex formation by binding free syntaxin-1. Expression of this gene appears to be brain-specific.

Can America Take Credit for the Arab Spring?
Tuesday, June 14, 2011
Huffington Post -- Is the Arab Spring really an "American" Revolution? According to President Obama and his speechwriters, the answer is, surprisingly, yes.
The dramatic political change that has taken place in the Middle East over the last six months has been led not by the United States, but by young protesters on the ground. Administration officials have largely been relegated to the role of spectators -- watching, not directing, events unfolding before their eyes. (Full Story)

Ahead Software Announces DVD+RW and DVD-R/RW Support for Nero and Brand New High Quality MPEG-2 Encoder(August 24, 2001)
Nero will now include DVD ISO/UDF/UDF Bridge, Bootable DVD, DVD Copy, and DVD Image. The latest upgrade of InCD, version 3, will incorporate UDF packet writing for compatible DVD+RW and DVD-RW drives.
Supporting a multitude of formats and applications, Nero is the industry's premier CD Recording solution earning numerous accolades and awards worldwide for offering unrivalled power, performance and feature sets.
Addressing the needs of both the CDR and Recordable DVD users, the new breed of Super combo drives (CDRW/DVD/RW) are set to give an unparalleled amount of options to users. Moreover the controllability and feature set of the software takes on a new meaning if this is to be fully realised, and Nero is the best example of a truly integrated solution for any CDRW/DVD/RW application.
InCD 3 is an integrated packet writing solution that has the utmost stability, ease of use, and compatibility, across all Windows operating systems. Automatically launched when Windows is booted, InCD 3 provides flexible drive letter access to the CD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-RW drive providing simple drag and drop or direct save options within applications. Files can be saved, renamed and deleted, just as with other rewritable storage mediums such as MO, floppy, or hard disk. InCD 3 uses UDF v1.5 file system, the world standard file format endorsed by OSTA (Optical Storage Technology Association).
Nero's MPEG-2 encoder has been born out of a need for fast, highest quality 2-pass encoding, with seamless Nero integration for SVCD creation without the need for a separate application. Nero already includes a high quality MPEG-1 encoder, and this is also set to receive an update to make it the only choice for VCD conversion and recording.
Jenny Menhart, Ahead Software's Marketing Manager said, "The unparallel growth of consumer based DVD systems, and new lower cost DVD ReWritable systems, mean affordable desktop video creation is very much a reality. To compliment the MPEG-2 encoder and Nero's overall DVD support, we can look forward to more related products in the future"
Pricing and Availability
Ahead's Nero MPEG-2 encoder will be available at the end of August directly from the Nero web site at www.nero.com. Nero, with DVD support, is available immediately for download from the Nero site with InCD Version 3.0 to follow next month. Ahead products can be purchased directly from www.nero.com or at local retail outlets.

It takes 13 semis, 100 crew members and 30 hours of work to set up the "untold story of the witches of Oz."
Haley Podschun plays Glinda the Good Witch.
"It's a dream come true. I've been wanting to play Glinda since I first saw the show 10 years ago and now I get to do it eight times a week.@I like her journey, as well. She starts as a young girl then grows into a woman."
And speaking of journey, how she travels as Glinda comes with star power.@The bubble you see on stage, has had a big appearance before.
"This bubble is the same bubble that Kristin Chenoweth rode in on in the Tony's," Podschun said.
I not only got a behind the scenes look at the bubble, I got to ride in it! I was told to step in, buckle up, and enjoy it. That was easy advice to say, but I'm afraid of heights! My flight above the Murat was amazing. I just kept thinking, don't look down and don't get sick!
When Haley's traveling, who knows what will pop into her thoughts?
"(I think about) how I'm breathing, relax my knees, or maybe I shouldn't have eaten that extra rib at dinner or something," Podschun said.
She loves performing in Indy.@The venue feels intimate, she can't see faces in the audience when she's performing, with the exception of some patrons.
"It's mostly pretty dark, but sometimes if someone's texting, I'll see their face shine by their phone. No texting!"
Haley may be playing Glinda the Good Witch, but even a nice girl asks you to put away the phone and enjoy the show.

Tickets are still available for the show and two-and-a-half hours prior to each performance, you have a chance to buy two tickets for $25 in a lottery at Old National Centre.

What is hip-hop?
Now before you Reader readers jump on me, reciting that hip-hop is "a music genre consisting of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping" – something that any Wikipedia-loving American could come up with, I pray you to hold your proverbial horses.
What I'm talking about here is an ideal. A culture. A way of life. While your "stylized rhythmic music" is indeed a major part of hip-hop, it is just one part of a cultural movement that is decades old.
I must warn you; this story is bigger than hip-hop music.
It was back in the '70s when hip-hop got its start in the South Bronx area of New York City. Pioneered by DJ Kool Herc, the underground movement began spreading, giving a voice to those that wished to speak. From Herc's house parties spread a whole new movement, one which really gained steam when DJ Afrika Bambaataa and the Universal Zulu Group defined the subculture and its four main elements: MCing, DJing, B-boying, and graffiti writing.
From the graffiti artists to the breakdancing B-boys and B-girls, the rapping Mic Controllers to the beat-making DJs, multitudes of musicians, artists, and others subscribing to the hip-hop culture have contributed to the lifestyle.
As the years passed, hip-hop saw the genre change from the early record-scratching pioneers of the '70s, eventually shifting from the disco-influenced early '80s to the beginnings of a more socially-conscious era, ushering in artists like Run-DMC and Public Enemy during what is known as the "golden age of hip-hop."
The underground movement finally broke through in 1990, scoring a critical and commercial success when Public Enemy released "Fear of a Black Planet," leading Time Magazine's Bill Adler to opine, "Rap is the rock 'n' roll of the day. Rock 'n' roll was about attitude, rebellion, a big beat, sex and, sometimes, social comment. If that's what you're looking for now, you're going to find it here."
Hip-hop's popularity continued to grow throughout the decade, eventually becoming the highest-selling music genre in 1999. The genre grew, expanding with the heavy bass of Southern hip-hop and alternative hip-hop experimenting with alternative styles like glitch-hop and dubstep, helping the movement grow from a small community in the Bronx to a worldwide phenomenon.
"I've been influenced by it ever since I was a youngster, and I've seen how it's grown and been accepted," said Jeremy Salter – who performs locally as DJ SALT, of the rise in the popularity of hip-hop.
"I wouldn't have even imagined that a hip-hop song would be played on a popular radio station like Star 104," DJ SALT said, his voice smooth and relaxed. "People understand it's an art now. They understand that it's a gift and it takes talent.
They are actually using hip-hop to teach children on Sesame Street. I've got a 2-year-old daughter and I have her watch it all the time."
Hip-hop is everywhere, with rap communities spanning the globe, with National Geographic even recognizing hip-hop as "the world's favorite youth culture" in the past. According to DJ SALT, no matter where you go in the world, whether it be France, China, or whatever country pops into your head, there are going to be rappers there honing their craft.
Ah, I'm starting to see that inquisitive twinkle in your eyes again, O Reader readers. With hip-hop influencing everything from the music business to commercials urging you to purchase a domain name for your canine apparel line, what does it mean to Erie – a cover-band loving town with nary an urban radio station, save for the weekend programming on Gannon University's 90.5 WERG? You may think that there isn't much of a hip-hop scene here in The Flagship City, but there are plenty of subscribers to the culture that would like to prove you wrong.
One of those people would be Jason "Iggy" Imig. As a local hip-hop promoter and member of the 2189 Crew, Iggy has been at the center of a recent surge in hip-hop awareness in this town, although he had immersed himself in the community long ago.
"I got into hip-hop about fourth grade," he said, shortly after we sat down at the Starbucks on the corner of West Fifth and State streets. "I started breakdancing with my friend Joel Polacci. He was teaching me in his attic. To me, that's when it was implanted in me, that's when I started the culture, that's when I started to see graffiti and breakdancing. At the time, I was so young that I didn't have the opportunity to link up with a lot of other people."
Eventually, Iggy, a self-described "short man with a beard," said that he moved out of Erie for a bit, living in Eugene, Ore. in the early 2000s. While there, he was impressed by the amount of hip-hop talent the city would bring in to an area that, according to Iggy, was demographically very similar to our fair Erie.
"They had the best music scene going on," he said, his slightly nasal tenor swelling as he remembered his days in the Pacific Northwest. "They had amazing hip-hop groups from San Francisco all be a part of it, and it's just like 'Why can't I get that going in Erie."
Now, Iggy is doing just that. Along with Jon and Dom Box of The Box Street Couture, local artist Doc Proto, and others, Iggy has helped push the hip-hop scene out of relative obscurity, promoting a new movement of socially-conscious performers.
"We're not doing it because we're trying to get famous," Iggy said. "I wanted to show Erie that there's another side of hip-hop. A lot of times, it's getting wrapped up in the violence, the materialism, and the misogyny, and I was hoping to focus on the positive aspects by bringing in true lyrical MCs and hopefully have an impact on the younger kids."
With this renaissance in local hip-hop, Iggy and company have begun to earn the respect of others within the music community.
"He's become sort of the centerpiece, in my eyes, in developing and establishing the local hip-hop scene," Marty Schwab, owner of The Crooked I, said to me a few days earlier. "The three years that I've been here, I was not consciously aware of any hip-hop acts that I was interested in working with, and then Iggy came to me."
Iggy and Marty had worked on a couple of shows before last summer's Bencher's Union, an ambitious event that combined graffiti painting, B-boy battles, and a show at The Crooked I . The success of that show helped pave the way for the popular Drips & Beats shows hosted once a month at The Crooked I , where big out-of-town talents like Beedie and The 58s come to play alongside local hip-hop musicians like C. Brown, Profound Produce, The Lower Eastside Connection, and more.
"We're all in it for the same thing: Just to watch Erie blow up, to see hip-hop in Erie flourish," Iggy said. But while the hip-hop scene has been thriving as of late, the scene wasn't always on the way up.
According to Iggy, Erie had a small-but-talented, scene back in the mid-2000s with performers like Hectic, Devious, and DJ Nitro leading the way. However, as the end of the decade approached, the hip-hop community was rapidly shrinking.
"For a period of time, there was a big wall," said C. Brown (left), one of Erie's promising MCs. "Erie hip-hop was dead – it was quiet. You didn't know who was doing what, and the people that were popular weren't even rapping anymore."
The deep-voiced, 25-year-old C. Brown wasn't the only MC who noticed a change in the scene. Hectic, who had begun earning attention with his lyrical skills around 2005, also noted a lull amongst his comrades.
"Nobody was really promoting themselves," Hectic, former Rock Erie Music Hip-Hop Award winner, said as the tall MC leaned back in his chair, the words slowly parting from his lips as he recalled the quiet period in hip-hop. "All you saw was somebody on Facebook, but nobody was really performing, and if they were performing, they're not promoting it, so nobody knew about it, so it was kind of like a little dead spot in Erie for about a year or so."
Erie wasn't the only town to experience the hip-hop shrink, with genre sales falling by 44 percent in 2005 since the beginning of the decade. Industry experts suggested that more listeners were becoming disenchanted with degrading and violent lyrics. While hip hop on the national level was wounded, however, the local scene was close to flatlining.
For those that had seen the mid-2000s era of Erie hip-hop, it was like an intermission, except one wouldn't be quite sure whether the show would start back up again. For those that came in during the lull, it was as if the show had never even started.
The scene had become so quiet that when Jon Box, CEO and owner of The Box Street Couture, moved to Erie during the lull in hip-hop, it took him awhile before he was able to find any traces of a hip-hop community.
"Every Sunday morning at 9 o'clock since 2009, we would walk just so that I could put my headphones on, listen to some Souls of Mischief and close my eyes and pretend I was back home," he lamented. "That's how depressing it was. All I wanted to do was see some graffiti, listen to some hip-hop and pretend I was back home in California because I felt like my heart was taken. That's why I'm so happy we're doing this [now], because I think I almost died [back then]."
While Box eventually found signs of life in the hip-hop community during the hip-hop lull, a lot of it had been scared away. Fights would break out during shows, instilling a fear of hip-hop events into some local music fans. These incidents ended up leaving members of the hip-hop community with a figurative black eye – and in some cases, a literal one.
Due to the posturing and violent antics of some, the number of shows began to dwindle, as venue owners would shy away from the genre.
"Because of the stereotype that hip-hop brings along with it, from my perspective as a club owner, I don't want to take that risk," Schwab said, leaning against The Crooked I bar, looking me straight in the eye. "There's just a lot of negative connotations that come along with that and quite frankly I don't need those crowds. Don't want them, don't need them."
Schwab isn't talking about every hip-hop fan – he's talking about the rowdy groups that come in, don't tip, order "Grey Goose and vodka" because they heard it in a song, and cause the problems that led to venues backing away from hip-hop in the late 2000s. Instead, he wants to help foster the socially-conscious hip-hop scene, just like Iggy and Box, and does so, bringing in big names like Dead Prez, Gift of Gab, and others. Still, the self-described hip-hop lover knows that while The Crooked I is open to allowing the scene into his establishment, other venues may still be wary.
"That to me is the biggest uphill battle, not only in Erie, but in any city," Schwab said, toying with his drink. "It is a shame that people won't open up a little bit and receive the music."
At its best, the ideals of hip-hop allow people to have a voice when they feel the need to speak, with artists like Afrika Bambaataa and A Tribe Called Quest acting as an example for rappers and DJs to follow. However, some MCs moved away from the socially-conscious rhymes and into a dialogue promoting materialism, sexism, and, ultimately, violence.
According to Iggy, much of the gun-toting, hard-posturing wave of rappers can be traced back to the aggressive gangsta rap style of N.W.A., whose "Straight Outta Compton" was a major influence during the golden age of hip-hop. To quote Public Enemy's Chuck D, "Hip-hop is the CNN of the ghetto." Even though the content of these early gangsta rappers were more abrasive and chronicled sex, drugs, and violence, it was still acting as a commentary on inner-city life.
Still, other hip-hop artists began straying farther from using hip-hop as a way to spread a message, eventually culminating in a section of the scene where one must show their dominance, even if that leads to violence. Like many cities, the Erie hip-hop scene suffered as people began treating all shows as if they would break out into chaos at any moment.
"It definitely hindered [the scene], because people don't want to go out and have to deal with that," C. Brown said of the drama and potential danger of some raucous shows, as he adjusted his hat. "I would tell friends about shows and they wouldn't come out because they were afraid that they might get shot, so the violence that was taking place at these events definitely put a damper on things and played a factor in I guess the 'quote-unquote' death of hip-hop in '07-'08."
While some rappers were driving away potential hip-hop crowds, other local MCs, DJs, and proponents of the culture weren't able to show that there was more to the scene than the stereotype.
"Profound [Produce] did a show out in the woods where some kids could have gone missing, and they didn't," Box said, raising his raspy voice slightly as he began to lord over the table. "They came home in one piece. Everybody came back alive. When we did that toy drive [for the December Drips & Beats show], having two big bags of toys, that was it, that was the biggest part. People had fun. We were able to share that passion. Unfortunately, some people overlook that because of what they see on MTV or BET."
Slowly, the hip-hop scene began to show that it wasn't comprised of the bunch of thugs that some people had narrow-mindedly assumed these performers were. Luckily for local hip-hop artists, they still had some believers that were willing to fight the uphill battle to help get performers more exposure.
"What it is, honestly, is that people like Iggy and Jon Box pretty much redeemed the city, as far as hip-hop music," C. Brown said. "They came here and they started putting on shows. Obviously, they saw hip-hop here, and we just needed somebody to back us up, so I would definitely have to thank them for what they've done."
What Iggy, Box, and others have done is to start a new era of hip-hop in Erie, an era in which the MCs, DJs, B-boys, and graffiti artists can promote their crafts and spread their messages while distancing themselves from the vision of all hip-hop performers as thugs.
"Probably one of the best quotes that really puts it out there is 'Rap is something you do, hip-hop something you live,'" Iggy said, as he fiddled with the cup that once held his chai tea latte. "That's by KRS-One. That's the way it is. This city is full of rappers, but there are only a few MCs. There's a difference. There are people that want to live the rapper lifestyle, and there are people who follow hip-hop culture.
"When I was younger, I was a white-and-black type of guy, and things were never grey. If you were talking about gangster stuff, it wasn't hip-hop to me, but growing up and talking to a lot of people that have been involved for a really long time, it all has its place, but it's not something that I necessarily want to spend our time promoting and putting it out there, because that just promotes more hate and more violence. While that stuff has its place, those people can figure out their own way to do their shows and put out their own CDs, whereas I'd rather focus my time on stuff that is going to make people think and come out of that show a better person."
Because of this shift, the hip-hop scene hasn't just come back; it's grown bigger than it was before. From the all-ages Boom Bap events at places like Basement Transmissions and the Performing Artists Collective Alliance to the monthly Drips & Beats shows at The Crooked I , Erie is seeing more and more people become involved in terms of both performers and fans. Multiple local hip-hop artists are now able to take the stage, ranging from the "hippie-hop" of The LEC to Hectic's mix of personal lyrics detailing both the positives and negatives of life, from the highs of spending time with his children to a night out drinking.
So what exactly does the future hold for hip-hop in Erie? While the scene is riding a high it hasn't seen in years, there's still much more work to be done. Slowly, but surely, this town is becoming more and more aware of the amount of talent its hip-hop community has, from MCs like C. Brown and Hectic, DJs like Nitro and SALT, B-boys like Phatlam and Chopstick, and the numerous graffiti artists that contributed to the mural spanning Peach and Sassafras streets.
But how much farther can Erie go? While much of the scene has been fueled by the passion the hip-hop community has for movement, it hasn't been lining the pocketbooks of its biggest proponents. Despite all the hard work and time Iggy has spent to bring in out-of-town artists while also promoting the local performers, he admitted that he has yet to recoup all of the money he has lost for past shows. But that's not why he keeps pushing forward.
"I know that this is something that's important, that needs to happen," he said. "When the late '80s, early '90s came around, the hip-hop that was speaking to me was A Tribe Called Quest, Souls of Mischief, and they were all groups telling me to be yourself. At the time, that's when a lot of the hard posturing came out in hip-hop and that you had to be tough, and to have these groups say that, that was really important for me to hear."
And now, Iggy, Box, and the others that have witnessed their beloved hip-hop community begin to thrive can finally start to share the influences that formed them with the next generation of the community.
"I'm so proud of my city," C. Brown said. "I hear people tell me all the time 'There's no scene here.' Are you serious? You've got to be kidding me, there is a scene here. It might not be as big or as appealing, but there is something here and it's definitely brewing, and if we keep going at this momentum, we might all be millionaires one day. Who knows? But we need the support from the people too, because they play a part in our careers. They're just as important whether they know it or not. I wouldn't be who I am and other people wouldn't be who they are if wasn't for them.
"If you come to one of my shows, you might catch me standing there with a blank stare on my face. I might not even be saying anything, just staring out into the crowd. That's that moment. It's like 'This can't be real.' A few years ago, this wasn't going on with me, I didn't think that I would get this far in this city. I've put a lot of my life into my music, and to have somebody actually listen to me is pretty much therapeutic. Growing up, I always wanted somebody to hear me out, and now it's happening."
The hip-hop scene is full of stories waiting to be told and people ready to embrace the city that they call home. It's a community full of passion, and one that is ready to entertain Erie and show just how much this culture, this way of life, can mean to people.
Yes, the music is popular, but people like Iggy, Box, C. Brown, Hectic, and DJ SALT do more than just listen to hip-hop – they live it. Even decades after the culture got its start in a Bronx high-rise apartment, the feeling of being able to communicate through their true talents allows them to rise above whatever may ail them.
That, my friends, is hip-hop.

Your guide to the 2017 festival scene
Her lyrics hint at a neuroticism, filled with worry and regret.
By Ryan Smith
Link's work fits the space, where sound just carries well, and, with those barn doors wide open, lingers sweetly as it flows out into the air.
The script and the musical numbers make "no attempt to equivocate the soul-destroying effects" of the reefer.
Classic rock sounds bump together, seen through the lens of a millennial hipster.
It's a gorgeous record, able to stand alone with or without the context.

Firefighters extinguish Dishman Hills wildfire
Fri., Sept. 3, 2010, midnight
An unattended campfire grew into a small wildfire that burned the bottom of a deep ravine in the Dishman Hills Natural Area on Thursday.
Spokane Valley firefighters had trouble gaining access to the morning blaze just west of Dishman Road.
A hiker spotted the fire before it could get out of control, and reported it at 8:37 a.m., officials said.
The fire burned pine needles, woody debris, underbrush and timber.
A crew from the state Department of Natural Resources joined three Spokane Valley fire crews in the effort.
Battalion Chief Brian Foster-Dow said crews took extra time to turn over dead logs and to dig into the soil to make sure roots or rotten wood were not smoldering.
The location known as Deep Ravine is a narrow canyon about 20 feet wide.
Transient camping has long been a problem in the area, Foster-Dow said.

Please check your bulk mail folder to see if it has been redirected to there.
All camp changes and cancellations must be received in writing via email. Please read on for specific program policies for changes and cancellations.
Change Requests for other program dates must be received in writing (via email) at least 7 days prior to your original program's start date. All changes are subject to availability.
Due to the popularity of our camps, parents often register to reserve a spot while still working out their schedule. This has led to an unsustainable amount of camp cancellations and changes. We have updated refund policy with this trend. Please register only if you are certain you have the availability to attend the camp the week you register for.
Both our summer and long-term programs have limited room in groups to insure quality mentoring. If someone leaves a program, we still have the expense of them attending due to commitments such as paying our educators. When we fill a camp and someone decides not to attend, it is often too late to find a student to take their place as waitlisted students have frequently chosen another program.
If you feel a need to go beyond our current refund policy, you can invoke our Best Fit Guarantee. Doing so recognizes some key points.
At Trackers we are confident we have the best camps and programs around. That said, we also know that not every organization is the the perfect fit for every family.
We offer our Best Fit Guarantee to ensure our programs are the best fit for your child and family. Obtaining a Best Fit Guarantee refund deactivates your account, preventing your family from attending other Trackers Earth programs in the future.
Tuition will be divided by total program days and we refund the remaining days. To get our Best Fit Guarantee, you must email us within one business week of the end of the camp otherwise it may be considered void.
Yes, I want to deactivate my account, preventing me from registering for Trackers programs in the future
If you want to return in the future, a decision will be made by our Regional Director and based on conversations about why you invoked the Best Fit Guarantee and how it can be a more positive fit in the future.
As we said, we are confident that our programs are the best camps available. This policy assures parents that our goal is an incredible and fantastic experience for your child. Feel free to contact us
