With an increasingly balanced practice, this Big Apple IP boutique is making strides to address a tricky market for patent litigators.
ELECTRONICS has exploded at Fitzpatrick. "This year," chair of the recruiting committee Ha Kung Wong tells us, "we have experienced a lot of growth in certain areas, particularly in electronics." A thriving electronics practice – serving the likes of Canon (a client for over 35 years) and IBM (for over 20 years) – has been one of the contributing factors that has helped Fitzpatrick bounce back after a slower year in 2014. IP litigation has taken a hit at firms around the country for various reasons, including the 2014 Supreme Court ruling in Alice Corporation v CLS Bank International that certain business methods are no longer patentable.
Nevertheless, Fitzpatrick's strong reputation and bench of high-profile clients are seeing it through. The firm is still synonymous with pharmaceuticals work, and associates proudly stated that "all our clients are brand names, so when you start work you know it will be for them, which is exciting." Others unabashedly proclaimed that "if you take a step back and look at who your clients are, it's cool." These include Sanofi, Novartis, AstraZeneca and Gilead Sciences. Non-pharma clients include Mars and SC Johnson. But it's not just the clientele that draws associates in: "It's the fact that people are down to earth, and on top of that everyone is a fantastic attorney," believed one insider. And the rankings back this up, with Fitzpatrick scoring highly in Chambers USA for intellectual property nationwide and in New York.
The Work
The firm's main practice is divided between litigation and prosecution. Most New Yorkers focus on litigation, while DC juniors normally take the prosecution route. Smaller groups including trademarks, copyrights, licensing & transactions, PTO contested proceedings, due diligence, e-discovery and ITC Section 337 litigation are also featured throughout all locations. Nevertheless, associates found more opportunities for exposure to these subgroups in the largest office, New York. Staffing requires associates to "fill out availability reports every Friday which are reviewed by two assigning partners." DC differs by forgoing the use of assigning partners but uses "a docket" – an assignment list that's emailed around. Additionally, associates recount that "once you make relationships with partners they can assign you work." Interviewees recalled that in the past year or two, slower business meant new associates weren't staffed on cases for several months, and did things like training and pro bono instead. However, one junior commended this year's efforts as "now all first-years are staffed, which is telling of the caseload we are taking on."
"I've been second chair at depositions for smaller cases."
Training & Development
Newbies are initially enrolled in a two-week bootcamp in New York that is a "crash course on the stuff they don't teach you in law school. It's about the day-to-day practice of the law. It's not pretty, but you need it to do a good job." Patent prosecutors are additionally tutored in writing techniques for applications by "expert writers in the field who train you in syntax." Juniors are then given biannual coaching with the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) which focuses on "the sexier part of the day-to-day stuff like interviewing witnesses, prepping experts and conducting depositions. You prepare exercises from a closed universe of fact. Actors then help you put into practice what you've learned and you get a critique." Even summers "take two NITA courses."
"It's the sexier part of the day-to-day stuff."
After putting the training into action, associates receive "end-of-year evaluations." Evaluations are sent "to partners that you have worked with and they review your work. Two partners that you haven't worked with then go over them with you, so that the process remains anonymous." While many interviewees felt that the system was adequate, one New Yorker wished that "there was something more concrete in place so that if there was an issue partners would tell you there and then what went wrong and how to fix it, otherwise it's left to the end of the year." However, juniors appreciated that the review system operates under the constraints of time and circumstance as "it's understandable why there is only one review per year because it takes a lot of work."
Offices & Culture
"By the time you leave at night there is carnage everywhere."
Despite having three hubs in New York, DC and Orange County, the larger New York mothership sets the tone for all offices. Sandwiched between Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall, associates mulled over the pros and cons of being "right in the middle of everything." One fledgling legal eagle intimated that "it's just jam-packed. Sometimes there are concerts nearby and by the time you leave at night there is carnage everywhere and you feel like, oh I want to be a part of whatever that was!" But on the upside, all associates are treated to individual offices, unlike many other firms in Manhattan. One insider speculated: "I think window size is based on seniority. When you get to be a third or fourth year, the amount of windows you have goes up!"
Rookies also suggested that Fitzpatrick felt like "a boutique firm where I could learn more" while "catering to people from a whole range of positions in life both professionally and socially." Socially speaking, in the summer months people in the Big Apple are treated to happy hours on the firm's onsite terrace. "We hire a bartender to serve drinks and we play games like Cornhole. It's silly and fun but that's what makes it great because there are high levels of participation." The "Fitzpatrick Olympics" add to "the palpable comradery," where attorneys compete in a combination of traditional and "original" games in "teams made up of lawyers you haven't worked with before, so it is a great way to meet new people." As IP specialists, however, "the science plays a part in the culture." Interviewees chuckled when asked if they felt "nerdy." Some explained: "To a degree we are a bit nerdy. But people don't walk around in thick glasses or only talk about science. We do have 'sciencey' interests and people actually like to read science articles for fun and not just work." The connecting thread throughout all offices, nevertheless, is that lawyers are "personable and approachable who you can relate to."
Hours & Compensation
Sources testified that "we are in New York, so we are given a load of work to do with long hours." The annual billable hours target of 2,160 is "a 'soft' 2,160. The goal is 180 hours a month, but if we don't hit it it's okay." Nonetheless, associates are far from taking it easy, with most clocking in at least ten-hour working days in the office, and some working late into the night from home. Conversely, one interviewee felt that taking work home was the firm's way of supporting its staff: "As long as you get the work done on time there is a lot of flexibility."
"We are still in New York, so we are given a load of work to do with long hours."
Compensation is lockstep, and bonuses are awarded based on hours plus other important things like quality of work, marketing activity, pro bono and recruiting support. The discretionary element left some sources "confused." In 2014, Fitzpatrick's revenue dropped 11.4% and partner profits fell, which impacted bonuses, associates believed. Some were disappointed to fall short of the perceived market rate by up to $10,000. However, Ha Kung Wong reasons that "our bonus structure is merit-based and is determined on a year-by-year basis. We look at what occurs throughout the industry, but we make our own decisions."
Pro Bono
"The cases were pretty big wins with the Legal Aid Society."
Sources revealed that "the firm is very committed to pro bono. We are offered help with our 50-hour requirement of non-billable work needed to pass the Bar." Although there is no definitive pro bono target, a conscious effort is made by the pro bono partner to alert associates to multiple opportunities daily via emails and lunch events. Juniors have "free rein to work in different practice areas" with numerous pro bono organizations including the Pro Bono Partnership, the Federal Circuit Bar Association Pro Bono Program and Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. Stellar efforts have earned a few associate awards for their individual contributions: "The cases were pretty big wins with the Legal Aid Society so the organization gave them accolades for their work."
Pro bono hours
Interviewees said Fitzpatrick's diversity is pretty much what you'd expect in BigLaw. "It's not very diverse, especially in terms of partners, who are mostly white and male." Associates blamed one factor in particular. "It's not for lack of trying," mused one, "but rather it's the product of the IP sector." Others concurred, saying: "The IP sector makes the candidate pool shallower. There aren't a lot of female engineers who also go to law school." However, many insiders praised Fitzpatrick's efforts as "there is an effort being made. The first-year class who have just joined are diverse and this is the beginning of them trying to put it into practice."
"Epecially supportive of its women attorneys."
Get Hired
"It's the airport test when it comes down to it."
"We have a unique atmosphere here. We all have science backgrounds and scientists in all fields generally like to collaborate," Ha Kung Wong suggests. But it isn't just the science that's important. Insiders insisted that it's equally important to have "a personality that fits the firm's personality." Wong likes candidates to be "creative thinkers because we have creative clients." Overwhelmingly, the firm is looking for "team players." One associate summarized that "it's the airport test when it comes down to it: would you want to be stranded at an airport with this person?"
Strategy & Future
Referring to the growth of electronics in particular at Fitzpatrick, Ha Kung Wong says: "We have brought on five lateral associates, from all levels of seniority, many of whom have joined us from large general practice firms. This is significant since it demonstrates that IP law firms, like ours, are continuing to grow and continue to be competitive with general practice firms." Associates revealed that despite the huge focus on pharmaceuticals, "our biggest client is Canon." Therefore, savvy juniors recognized that "we are trying to grow out from the model of the past and push the boundaries to the mechanical/electric side. We have a lot of PhDs but we want to push in the electrical direction."
"We have a lot of PhDs but we want to push in the electrical direction."
The firm is "healthy at the moment," with all departments reporting an increase in workflow as "people seem busier firmwide." This is comforting news for most juniors, who felt: "We've had steady work this year. Because of the revenue drop, the firm was equilibrizing in terms of associate numbers, but now we balance. Long may it last."
Interview with chair of the recruiting committee Ha Kung Wong
Chambers Associate: How many associates do you take on each year and how are they divided across offices?
Ha Kung Wong: We are not limited based on an arbitrary numerical target. Rather, our approach has always been to assess our intake on the quality of our candidates. We have historically had about six to 14 summer associates each year. In addition to this, we are now undertaking increased lateral recruiting. This year we have experienced a lot of growth in certain areas, particularly in electronics. So we have brought on five lateral associates, from all levels of seniority, many of whom have joined us from large general practice firms. This is significant since it demonstrates that IP law firms, like ours, are continuing to grow and continue to be competitive with general practice firms. And because of that, we intend to continue our increased focus on hiring laterals to continue expanding our practice.
In terms of which office location our new associates decide to practice, it's partly based on location and partly based on what work the individual wants to engage in. As our biggest office, New York offers the greatest variety of work opportunities. However, we work seamlessly between all locations. For example, our ITC work is sometimes staffed between DC and New York. Our pharma practice and patent prosecution practice interacts with Orange County. Nowadays, because of the advancements in technology, it's much easier to interact across all locations which make the distinctions between them less significant. All offices are just as effective and committed to the professional development of its associates.
CA: Is it a pre-requisite to have a science degree or a technological background before working at Fitzpatrick?
HKW: Yes, a science degree or a technological background is generally a requirement. However, there can be exceptions to this rule. If a candidate had relevant work experience or expertise in a particularly relevant area of practice, we would look favorably on that. We like to have indicators that a candidate is interested in science and technology generally and has the ability to handle complex scientific and technological issues in relation to the law. IP presents unique challenges in terms of representation at court or in the US Patent Office. For example, it is difficult enough to present a case convincingly to a judge or jury. With IP, we have the added challenge of needing to explain the science or technology. Having the proper background greatly increases one's ability to effectively do this.
CA: Associates mentioned that diversity is an issue in the IP sector. What is the firm doing to promote diversity in its hiring practice?
HKW: We have always focused on trying to increase diversity. It is, however, more challenging for us as the pool is smaller in IP. But we have made great strides, largely due to the support of our management and diversity committee. When we send our interviewers to OCIs, we ensure that they are aware of our diversity initiative. We want them to be especially aware of this when interviewing candidates. Diversity is important because our clients come to us to get the best advice from the best people with a variety of experiences and ideas. It is important for our clients to be presented with critical viewpoints. To promote this, we partake in a lot of different programs, notably the Law Preview Scholarship. This is a preparatory course for law school students to experience IP and get to know about it.
CA: Could you tell us briefly about what is involved in your summer program?
HKW: It's unique. We staff 50% of our summers' time on a litigation team. Working on a litigation team is different than working on an isolated litigation project. On a project, you might be asked to do one-off research without follow up or having the opportunity to participate in the overall strategy of the case. On a team, the work is different. For example, summers will be asked to complete research, but then analyze the issues and make suggestions in conjunction with legal theories and how they may impact the overall strategy of the case. This is what it is actually like being a lawyer and it provides the summer with a continuous experience throughout the program. The other 50% is for the summers to explore other opportunities that they are interested in. Also, in terms of education, summers also receive two NITA [National Institute for Trial Advocacy] courses on fact investigation and deposition techniques, as well as weekly internal training sessions over lunch. We do this because we want summers to make the most of their experience.
CA: What sort of person are you looking for and what makes them stand out in an interview?
HKW: We have a unique atmosphere here. We all have science backgrounds and scientists in all fields generally like to collaborate. As scientists, this makes us different from other firms that may have cultures that encourage self-promotion over professional development. Here we want people who share our mindset of accomplishing goals together as a team. We also want creative thinkers because we have creative clients.
There are many factors that go into a successful interview, but there are a few in particular that we like to see. As discussed before, a candidate needs to demonstrate an interest and a desire to work in science and technology. Additionally, a candidate needs strong communication skills. Communication is a critical skillset for IP lawyers. Being able to carry conversations and convey complex ideas in an understandable and convincing way can be just as important as having an impressive resume. Just because you've done well at a top-tier law school doesn't mean you automatically have good communication skills.
CA: Do you have any top tips on what you shouldn't do in an interview at Fitzpatrick?
HKW: Candidates should communicate the important aspects of what makes them a good candidate. If you have an interview with us, we know you are smart. But the key is to highlight your most unique aspects. What tends to happen is that candidates will memorize a 'pitch' that they use at every interview. Show your employer you care about them, as much as they should care about you.
CA: In light of the recent up-scaling of the industry bonus rate, can you explain what Fitzpatrick's plans are for associate bonuses?
HKW: Our bonus structure is merit based and are determined on a year by year basis. We look at what occurs throughout the industry, but we make our own decisions.
CA: Fitzpatrick has had a busy year, especially in electronics. Have these plans to expand affected the firm's approach to the associate partner track?
HKW: In terms of the partner track, the time-scale varies. We are full equity partners here. So we want the right people who are dedicated to the practice and who want to share in the future of Fitzpatrick. Our hope is that everyone who starts with us will ultimately earn their opportunity to become a partner.

Luiz Felipe Scolari still wants to manage England and would be open to negotiations were the Football Association to ask him to replace Steve McClaren, though he is unlikely to leave his current job with Portugal before next summer. England's 3-0 win against Israel lifted the mood in the camp ahead of Wednesday's crucial game against Russia at Wembley, but a bad result in that game could still lead to failure to qualify for Euro 2008 next June.
Scolari's teams have eliminated England at the quarter-final stage of their last three major international tournaments - Brazil in the 2002 World Cup, which they went on to win, and Portugal in Euro 2004 and last summer's World Cup in Germany. The Brazilian would have taken on the task of leading England in Euro 2008 qualifying had the FA waited until after the World Cup finals to appoint him.
Instead the governing body attempted to force Scolari to commit himself in the month ahead of the tournament. He withdrew his candidacy, and the FA turned to McClaren. But Scolari, according to a close friend, is prepared to forget what happened and would be keen to have a renewed offer from England.
Though the FA insist they have no plans to replace McClaren, they have been under pressure to consider a change of coach. Yesterday's win puts them in a far better position in Group E, but they still need a victory against Guus Hiddink's Russia.
Many of the current England squad are understood to have little respect for McClaren and are said to be dismayed at what they see as his tactical naivety as an international coach and cursory approach to scouting opponents. McClaren could not be faulted yesterday, though, and England brushed aside Israel with goals from Shaun Wright-Phillips, Michael Owen and Micah Richards at a noisy Wembley.
Scolari, 58, recently announced that he would end his five-year term as Portugal coach after the European Championships, and is considering his future after next summer. As in 2006, he is reluctant to break his contract with the Portuguese federation. Asked about the possibility of Scolari becoming England manager this week, his adviser Acaz Fellegger told The Observer: 'Felipe has a contract with Portugal until the end of Euro 2008 and after that he can go anywhere.'
Other candidates include Hiddink, who is an admirer of the English game but has an option to coach Russia until 2010, Arsene Wenger, who last week signed a three-year contract extension with Arsenal that has no get-out clause, and Sam Allardyce, rejected by the FA last year.

Preschool Reading Program – Curriculum Standards, Lessons, Activities, Printable Worksheets
A preschool reading program should be taught using a system that includes interactive activities, learning games, printable worksheets, assessments, and positive reinforcement. Guided reading is a vital part of a preschool reading program.
A good preschool reading program curriculum relies on many learning tools – preschool reading worksheets, reading activities, reading games, reinforcement exercises, and assessments.
Preschool language arts lessons should cover all English language arts strands. These include vocabulary development, reading comprehension, literature, writing strategies, writing applications, English language conventions, listening and speaking. While these language arts strands might surprise you, they are all critical lessons for a preschool reading program. View our preschool curriculum overview or preschool lesson plans.
Preschool Reading Skills, Vocabulary Development, Guided Reading and Language Arts
Preschool reading activities provide an opportunity for children to get a basic understanding of reading skills, decoding, and phonics. Guided reading, reading worksheets, language arts games, and many other creative methods make the preschool reading program fun for young children.
Time4Learning teaches a comprehensive preschool reading curriculum using fun, preschool reading activities to build a solid reading foundation.
Preschool is a good time to start young children in a reading program. There are a variety of language arts lesson plans that can be done with preschool reading level children to get them ready for future academics. For example, preschool-aged children love to sing the ABC song and to be read to by teachers and parents. Preschool reading games and preschool reading activities are also popular with beginning readers.
As children are read to, they learn that letters make words, and words make sentences. They learn the meanings of words that are new to them, and compare them to pictures in books and on language arts worksheets. They also learn that sentences make stories, and they learn more about how the world works by paying attention to the stories read to them. In this way, preschool reading skills are developed and enhanced.
The preschool reading program provides language arts lesson plans designed to help preschool reading level children recognize words and match them with pictures. Using preschool level language arts worksheets, they are introduced to letters, phonics, and simple words. Preschool reading skills develop as children learn that putting letters together produces words and that words are the building blocks of stories. The Time4Learning online software also incorporates preschool reading games that develop reading skills through play.
The preschool reading program teaches children to recognize and name uppercase and lowercase letters. They are given opportunities to attempt reading simple two and three letter words. Preschool reading level children soon start to recognize print in everyday life, for example, on signs, and on cereal boxes. They learn that printed words are used for many different purposes. Pointing out words to your beginning reader and asking him or her to say them aloud is an invaluable preschool reading activity.
Preschool reading level children are taught to recognize whether or not words rhyme with each other. Learning to replace the first letter of the word to make a different word is a preschool level reading skill. Preschool reading program students also learn to clap out syllables in longer words and practice saying several words that all begin with the same sound, for example, dog, dig, and dad. Using language arts worksheets, they reinforce their understanding of words by writing them on paper.
Reading Comprehension – Language Arts Lesson Plans, Guided Reading, Building Reading Skills
During the course of the preschool reading program, children learn that a story has a beginning, middle, and end. They learn that pages are turned from left to right, and are read from top to bottom. Preschool reading level children often show a desire to gain reading skill by holding a book and pretending to read it.
The preschool reading program encourages children to develop reading comprehension by following the series of events in a story. There are language arts lesson plans wherein three or four part stories are sequenced in order. Students are asked to re-tell simple stories and to follow two and three part directions in relation to retelling the stories they are learning. Preschool reading level children are asked questions and encouraged to make comments about stories to show they understand what they're hearing.
Literary Response – Language Arts Lesson Plans, Guided Reading, Building Reading Skills
A preschool reading program provides plenty of exposure to preschool reading level picture books. Lessons focus on development of book and literary awareness. As a picture book is read, words are pointed to, so preschool reading program children learn that printed words form sentences, and that books provide information and tell interesting stories.
Children at the preschool reading level become familiar with popular fiction and non-fiction picture books and poetry. Books with simple storylines, easy sentences, colorful pictures, and plenty of action are ideal. Preschool reading comprehension skill develops as children are encouraged to answer questions and discuss stories that are being read to them.
Preschool reading level books should introduce children to the alphabet, colors, sizes, shapes, and numbers. Picture books used for the preschool reading program should include non-fiction topics including topics on animals, geology, and weather. Fiction titles should include adventures, books about family life and animals, and humor. Preschool reading program students are especially fond of repetition and enjoy having the same books read many times over.

Sunday night's game between the Ravens and Patriots was one of the most poorly-officiated games the NFL has ever hosted — for both sides. New England should not use the replacement refs as an excuse for why they lost the game, since the officiating was atrocious all around. There were 24 accepted penalties throughout the course of the game, and an NFL record 13 of those resulted in first downs. After the game, Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes had some harsh words for the officiating crew on Twitter.
Perhaps Spikes felt he could get away with saying something after his head coach straight up grabbed an official after the game, which will undoubtedly result in a fine and/or suspension. Roughly an hour later, Spikes told his followers to "relax" because he didn't say anything about the "refs" and was talking about zebras.
On a night where Devin McCourty was called for a crucial defensive holding that was completely nonexistent and Jim Harbaugh was given an unsportstmanlike conduct penalty for trying to call timeout, the NFL should be embarrassed. There's no respect for the replacement officials from players or coaches, and that is causing them to completely lose control of games. Sunday night was as good an example of that as you will see.

10 Brain "Must-Knows" to Live + Work with More Ease
I've been thinking about my brain a lot these days - and so should you. Neuroscience is now the "it" topic and this hot (and really cool) area of science is no longer the exclusive domain of neuroscientists, brainiacs and academics. We are all getting in on the action and that's a good thing.
A little neuroscience savvy gives us all power to understand ourselves, manage ourselves and adapt behaviours to work with our brain, not against it. Let's face it, times are indeed "crazy busy" for many of us so learning how to keep ourselves sharp, hearty, resilient and effective with some brain savvy can't hurt.
I'd like to pay a tribute to the brain with my list: "10 Things I Learned About the Brain and Why You Should Too Learn Them Too."
*Please note that in this list, I use the term "brain" very loosely, recognizing that the brain is a highly complex organ with many different parts, functions and relationships in our bodies.
1) Too much stress compromises our higher thinking brain's capacity.
The pre-frontal cortex (PFC) is the part of the brain that drives much of our higher-thinking brain functions such as problem solving, analyzing, prioritizing, distinguishing and reflecting. When we feel overly stressed, this part of the brain "gears down" and lets the stress brain (amygdala) take precedence. No time for reflective thought; it's time for flight or fight!
Just when we need it most we lose our "thinking ability"! So learn to manage that stress response so you can properly think your way through those "crazy busy" times.
2) Our brains love it when we get organized and make plans.
When I'm totally stressed out I take a moment to pause, park and reflect. I write out a list, prioritize and make plans. Turns out thinking activities such as reflecting, prioritizing, planning, not only use the prefrontal cortex, they also stimulate it and bring it back online. So taking just a few moments to get a bit more organized will not only bring our higher thinking brain back online, you will also be rewarded with a dose of GABA, the hormone that brings a feeling of calm. Two orders of that, please!
3) Our brains have a sweet spot of optimal stress for their best functioning.
Goldilocks was so finicky. She needed everything just right. Well our brains do too. While too much stress can compromise the prefrontal cortex and "shut down" our brain's capacity for higher functioning, too little stress can do the same. Neuroscientist Amy Arnsten, a professor of neurobiology and psychology at Yale University, says the prefrontal cortex is the "Goldilocks" part of the brain - it needs everything to be "just right" for optimal performance.
So become aware of your sweet spot. Learn to ramp it up when under-stressed (see here for tips) and how to tame the stress when overloaded (see here for tips on taming your brain).
4) Our higher thinking brains are not meant to store large loads of information.
Our PFC is meant to perform critical thinking activity, but isn't meant to be a storage bin for all of our "to-do's." Yet, all too often, we try to load up our "to-do's" in our head which is a first class ticket to "Mind Full" syndrome.
I've learned that it is important to get much of my "stuff" out of my head, but keep it appropriately top of mind. So "yay" to structures like lists, plans, etc. Those loads in your brain can be major distractions and prevent you from focusing. Speaking of which, see next point.
5) Focus is "candy for the brain" - and the body too.
Our higher thinking brains love to focus. When we focus, we are rewarded with better thinking, more clarity, a feeling of engagement and sometimes, even a dose of GABA (hormone) which is like antacid for the brain and brings a feeling of calm.
Unfortunately, we tend not to give ourselves much focus time. Instead we juggle, multitask and exhaust our brains, which are not built for multitasking attention. This can be a major energy drain and compromises productivity, creativity and efficiency. So ditch the multitasking habit. Chunk down your priorities and bring more focus into your day -- even if for only minutes at a time, start small and build up from there. See book excerpt for more on multitasking.
6) Our brains tend to hold on to "unfinished business."
Long ago (1927), Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik discovered that people tend to remember incomplete or interrupted tasks better than completed tasks. Known as the Zeigarnik effect, this can be a good thing - if you are a waiter and remembering food and drink orders. But not so much if you are dealing with a heavy workload when tasks are never quite finished. The weight of unfinished business can burden us and contribute to the feeling of overwhelm.
So more proof for the merit of making plans for your unfinished business - e.g., schedule it or put it into a "to-do" list. This will give your brain a feeling of completion for the moment vs. letting it swirl around in your brain with menace - distracting and taunting you as you try to get through it all. This strategy will also help you sleep better at night, another essential for maximizing your "brain-ability."
7) Positivity broadens and builds your brain (and life) capacity.
Positivity is not just a "nice-to-have" attribute. It is truly an essential ingredient for success and well-being. Positivity scientist Barbara Fredrickson coined the term "broaden and build" to capture this notion and years of hard scientific evidence that links positive emotions with better health, improved brain and cognitive function, greater personal efficacy, a heightened ability to connect and an overall boost to one's potential to thrive with more fulfillment and success.
Learn to rein in the negativity and to boost your positivity. You don't have to be permanently positive (that would not be real), but do aim for a minimum of 3:1 ratio of positive thoughts to negative. Go for the micro moments and get plenty into your daily diet. See here for an article on the positivity advantage.
8) Connecting with others is good for the brain, body and spirit.
Interacting with people positively can boost levels of the hormone oxytocin, which can have a calming effect. It's also one of the best ways to boost your positivity ratio. Don't go it alone! Seek out positive connections. Even moments at a time will give you and your brain boost.
9) A picture is worth a thousand words.
While our left brain hemispheres may like to organize and create lists, our right brains love metaphors and visuals. Sometimes focusing on an image or a mantra can bring the calm and open our minds more than using our rational brains. There is no such thing as being a left brain or right brain person. For maximum success, we all need to integrate and tap into both sides of our brains. So go ahead and give it a try: Create a picture, image or saying that will help you tap into a more positive, calmer state at a moment's notice.
10) You can teach an "old dog new tricks"!
Our brains may be the same model we inherited from our ancestors from early days, but they are neuroplastic which means that with repetition and practice, we can create new neural paths and connections. That means we can create new habits, new ways of thinking and new ways of reacting and experiencing the ups and downs of work and life. We have the power to choose. You can indeed change. Practice, rinse, repeat. Then see what happens.
I will be presenting a complimentary webinar "Brain-ability at Work" later this month courtesy of CPA (and it will be archived for tuning in later too) and drawing from themes in my book, Ease.

If you find yourself losing focus or easily distracted during your work day, Dr. Stephen Brewer, medical director at the Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, says try engaging your brain and attention levels by turning pictures upside down in your house or on your desk at work. He says the instant your pictures are upside down, you brain will automatically go into "alert mode" and help you pick up other small details during your day.
Start your day by stimulating your senses when you get dressed. "Try dressing with your eyes closed or choose outfits based on texture and not how they look," Brewer says. Engaging unused senses for day-to-day routines can improve your memory and stimulate your mind, according to Health.HowStuffWorks.com.
You may already be used to waking up to the smell of coffee or pancakes on the weekend, but Brewer suggests stimulating your senses by leaving cooked vanilla beans by your bed or in your kitchen overnight. This can enhance your sense of smell the next day.
When you're brushing your teeth or brushing your hair, Brewer suggests switching hands — or using the 'other hand' — to help stimulate your brain and senses. One study found that using the opposite hand or less dominant hand can increase your brain's creativity levels, according to the Lake Michigan Shore.
Sit back and relax. Meditation, Brewer says, can improve your memory and help your mind focus. One study found that meditation can improve brain function and could even prevent mental illnesses, according to CBC News.
Brewer says sleeping — at least 7 to 8 hours a night — can also help improve your memory. One study found that getting a good night's sleep can trigger changes in the brain and can boost your memory levels, according to researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre.
We all have memories of our favourite places. Maybe it's your childhood backyard or vacation to a sandy beach. These memories stay with us in rich detail, Brewer says, and travelling to these places (if possible) or finding new places that help create memories of equal depth can also help improve your memory.
Thinking out loud can do more good than harm. One study found that talking to yourself can help improve your memory temporarily, according to ABC News. The study found that people who talked to themselves had better luck finding things that were lost.

Series: Oxford Statistical Science Series Volume: 36
544 pages, b/w photos, 150 illustrations
Several recent advances in smoothing and semiparametric regression are presented in Bayesian Smoothing and Regression for Longitudinal, Spatial and Event History Data from a unifying, Bayesian perspective. Simulation-based full Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inference, as well as empirical Bayes procedures closely related to penalized likelihood estimation and mixed models, are considered here. Throughout, the focus is on semiparametric regression and smoothing based on basis expansions of unknown functions and effects in combination with smoothness priors for the basis coefficients.
Beginning with a review of basic methods for smoothing and mixed models, longitudinal data, spatial data and event history data are treated in separate chapters. Worked examples from various fields such as forestry, development economics, medicine and marketing are used to illustrate the statistical methods covered in Bayesian Smoothing and Regression for Longitudinal, Spatial and Event History Data. Most of these examples have been analysed using implementations in the Bayesian software, BayesX, and some with R Codes. These, as well as some of the data sets, are made publicly available on the website accompanying Bayesian Smoothing and Regression for Longitudinal, Spatial and Event History Data.

ITC Staff Transported Back in Time
To celebrate the decade of ITC's inception the ever inventive ITC Social Committee arranged a 70s themed night last Friday evening. The excellent event was held in the ITC top floor canteen which was decorated with 70s accessories including glow sticks and a liberal smattering of glam rock. Many of those in attendance were seen nodding their heads to Boston's 'More Than a Feeling' and reliving their teenage years!
The evening began with 70s style Bucks Fizz and Jelly Beans which provided a unique way to wind down on a Friday evening. As those in attendance enjoyed their Bucks Fizz the alluring aroma of fish and chips slowly made its way through the room before baskets of the 70s tea time favourite were distributed. Many a chip butty was consumed and the scent of salt and vinegar filled the air.
After dinner we were treated to the full throttle excitement of a 70s inspired game of Bingo. To cries of 'Legs Eleven' and 'Two Fat Ducks' players with dobbers in hand listened intently for the numbers that could win them fantastic prizes including British Airways Club World flights.
It was now the evening turned its attention to Halloween with a pumpkin carving competition ably judged by Nikki Tomlinson and Kerry Beavis from British Airways. The winner's pumpkin was a fantastic example of modernist carving and was perfectly haunting.
Further competitive events included the surreal spectacle of snail racing as well as a highly competitive round of table football which really showcased the competitive nature of many at ITC.
A fantastic night was enjoyed by all and thanks must go to British Airways for sponsoring the night and congratulations go to the night's winners Caroline Gemmel, Kim Willman and Elizabeth Powell who all won British Airways Flights.

Country: Ghana,
Type: Humanitarian & Community Development , Manual work / Construction, Teaching & Education, Working with children,
As a participant on this project, you will help train, encourage and develop children and teenagers to become the future athletes from the Eastern Region of Ghana.
In Ghana, interest in sports is a nationwide phenomenon especially when it comes to football.
Usually, young athletes from Accra and other more wealthy parts of the country are regularly sponsored by their academic institutions, families and sports clubs.
Those athletes have a better chance of continuing to perform at levels where they can attract the attention of regional, national and international teams. Athletes from poorer regions like the Eastern and Northern region can normally not afford to continue competing at this level due to lack of resources.
The aim of our sports program is to improve this situation by supplying the high schools of Koforidua with international sport teaching volunteers. You will be involved in both the theoretical and practical sides of sports coaching.
You do not have to be a sports professional, coach, player or educator to enroll on this program.
You only need to have a passion for sports and like to work with children and young adults. However, we very much welcome participants who are experienced in a particular field of sports or in physical education to enroll and share their knowledge and skills.

The simple premise of boy meets girl resulted in three prestigious British Comedy Awards for BBC3 last night.
Gavin and Stacey tells the story of a regular guy from Essex and regular girl from Barry Island, South Wales and was written by the actors Ruth Jones and James Corden after they had met on the set of ITV1's Fat Friends. During filming, Corden told Jones about an idea for a comedy that he and his girlfriend had come up with and the pair decided to write the sitcom together.
They were so dedicated to the project that Jones even flew to New York, where Corden was appearing in the Broadway production of Alan Bennett's The History Boys so they could continue writing. Last night, their effort paid off when Gavin and Stacey was crowned best new comedy at the awards in London, beating Jack Dee's BBC4 comedy Lead Balloon and BBC1 sitcom Not Going Out.
Jones and Corden, who play the couple's best friends Nessa and Smith, were also named best female and male newcomer.
The BBC3 series, which also stars Alison Steadman and Rob Brydon, is produced by Baby Cow, the production company set up by Steve Coogan and Henry Normal, which was behind Saxondale and Nighty Night.
The overall award for best television comedy was won, however, by Peep Show, the Channel 4 comedy about a pair of young male flatmates. David Mitchell, who plays the geeky Mark Corrigan in the series, was crowned best television comedy actor. He is one half of the comic duo Mitchell and Webb, formed with Robert Webb, who Mitchell had known since the duo attended Cambridge University.
The humour in Peep Show, written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, stems from the friendship between Mark, who dresses like a middle-aged man and holds down a sensible job as a loans manager and his flatmate, Jeremy Usbourne, played by Webb, a work-shy wannabe musician.
Liz Smith, who plays Nana in BBC1's The Royle Family, won best comedy actress.
It was also a good night for the BBC2 comedy music quiz show Never Mind The Buzzcocks, which was named best comedy entertainment programme. The show's presenter Simon Amstell won best entertainment personality, beating Stephen Fry, the host of another BBC2 quiz show, QI.
Fry was consoled with a lifetime achievement award for his contribution to comedy.

In last Saturday's article, 'We had a private conversation. I was moved by his modesty', we described Brian Clarke's meeting with the Pope and the item was labelled 'First Person'. We should have made clear it was based on an interview given by Brian Clarke to our journalist rather than being written by Brian Clarke himself. Brian Clarke did not introduce the names of Paul McCartney or Francis Bacon but merely responded to questions put to him by the journalist. We are happy to make this clear.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"
Changing Leaves and Holiday Wreaths

Let's fall into the fall season. Summer is closing out and the leaves are starting to change color, so let's add some color to your designs and decorations. The air is turning to a crisp chill and the holiday wreaths begin to appear. Fall is the season to decorate your home beautifully for the holidays. The kids get to play in the big pile of raked leaves, while you present your fall decorations. People often forget and ask "when is the first day of fall?" Well I'm here to tell you that. I'm also curious as to why do leaves change color in the fall? Have your guests over, sit around a beautifully decorated table and let's learn about this great season and craft all the great things associated with it.
Table of Contents:
When is the first day of fall?
Why do leaves change color in the fall?
When is the first day of fall?
Often this question is asked. Do we really know the exact date of the first day of fall? Of course we do! My definition of fall is when the kids start going back to school and the leaves start changing colors. The real answer to this question is around September 22 or 23. Depending on what year it is and what day it falls on. The first day of fall also depends on where you live. If you live on the Northern Hemisphere then fall begins in September, but if you live on the Southern Hemisphere, fall begins in March. Although sometimes you may not know the exact date of the first day of fall, there are definite signs to help you out. The weather becomes a bit chilly, the harvests begin and the leaves change color.
Why do leaves change color in the fall?
Why exactly do leaves change color in the fall? I thought it was a part of life and a part of nature. In fact, it's actually a scientific explanation. Plants make their own food. They take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. They turn water and carbon dioxide into food using sunlight and something called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is green. It gives leaves their green color.
Winter days are short and dry. Many plants stop making food in the fall. The chlorophyll goes away. Then we can see orange and yellow colors. These colors were in the leaves all summer, but the green covered them up.
Some leaves turn red. This color is made in the fall, from food trapped in the leaves. Brown colors are also made in the fall. They come from wastes left in the leaves.

Hi Charles,
Unless there is more than one Midland Hosta Society, this one is still
active. I just joined when I attended their auction last summer (which
happens to be held at Van's). They also have an active newsletter - just
received the Winter 2002 issue.
As usual, the wheels started to click a day late (besides the fact that my
job keeps me away from home during the week), so don't know if you've heard
from anyone on this yet (Ray Weigand is also a member of Midland).

Our customer reviews for Mercure Angers Centre Gare Hotel
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
Just had a couple of days stopover at this hotel. Very pleasant and helpful staff, extremely clean and neat housekeeping - well done. Shame the bar is only open at lunchtime and in the evenings, since we arrived at 3.30pm gasping for a beer!
Dear John, We really thank you for your visit in Mercure Angers Centre Gare ans spent time to leave us a really nice comment. Just to lets you know that our bar is open every day until 11pm. I think that you spoke about the restaurant just next door, which is open every day for lunch and dinner. Next time we will propose you something to refresh you at your arrival. Have a nice day, Best regards
We stayed in Angers for one night on our way back to the UK. The hotel is probably one of the smaller Mercures but the quality is still there. Particularly the girls we came across on reception and in the breakfast room. They all had a smile on their faces and couldn't have been more helpful. We had booked a standard room but got an upgrade to a privilege room. This was well appointed if a little on the small side. It faced the main road and there was a tram stop just outside our window. However, we weren't bothered by extraneous noises and for one night, it was just right for us. Free, complimentary soft drinks in the fridge, a good WiFi signal, robes and slippers and a comfortable bed. Just what we wanted! Although advertised as having a car park, we were directed to a public underground car park some 100 metres away. However, we were able to unload our cases before going to the car park and, on our return, found that the receptionist had already moved them to our room. The location is good for exploring the old part of Angers. There are numerous restaurants/bars close to the hotel including one next door and we chose to dine in one of these. Breakfast was buffet style and when we arrived, we found a coach party already in the room. However, the staff made sure that all items were soon replenished and we wanted for nothing. Our overall verdict - a comfortable hotel in a good location with great people!
Booked room in advance on Mercure website for 2 day stay, 4 days prior to the first night i tried to cancel and was told that since i paid in advance no refund was available for the full stay. Manager and Accor customer service were unable/unwilling to help. Find another hotel in Angers and if there are no other options do not pay in advance.
Great place for an overnight stop over. Very helpful staff. We had adjoining rooms which was perfect for our teenage kids and very spacious. The hotel does have some parking but it is underground so if like us, you are travelling with a top box you will need to use the public car park down the road.
We'll sited, easy access to shops, cathedral, chateau etc. No on site parking but covered parking about 5 minutes walk away at a reasonable price (22 hours = €17). Lovely city, plenty to see, loads of restaurants, cafés, bars etc. Staff very attentive, well appointed room, good breakfast choice albeit a bit expensive (€15.90 per person). Will stay again
Very nice hotel located near to the sights in Angers. Polite staff. It was difficult for the hotel restaurant that seems to specialize in raw meat dishes to deliver a well done meat patty in a hamburger even after identified as not cooked to customer's preference but very nice beef tartar and meat fish carpaccio of all varieties. I'd stay their again but eat elsewhere.
We had an excellent experience at check-in, with the receptionist being very warm, friendly and helpful in advising on street parking and getting around the city. Check-out was smooth and without issues either. Top points for service. The location of the hotel is very central, and within walking distance to the cathedral, and the chateau which we visited. The train station is also within walking distance. Despite the central location, we did not find it noisy at all, and managed to sleep well. The room itself was of slight concern. Power is activated when you slot your key card into a device on the wall. The case of the slot fell off before we managed to fit the card in. We did manage to get electricity in the room all the same. The table lamp was not working, and the shower head did not attach properly so it was a bit of a circus act trying to take a shower. These are minor complaints, and all easily fixed with some routine maintenance. The management should look into this matter. That aside, housekeeping was brilliant, and we found the room and general areas of the hotel to be spotless.
The overall review is good but there could be some improvements. 1. The receptionist did not appear to be aware that I had specifically indicated I would require a garage space for a car. This was not a problem though the initial reaction was to tell me the hotel only had limited spaces. 2. There was no milk in one of the rooms to drink with coffee/tea 3. There was no bottled water in one of the rooms. Small issues which are easily corrected.
