John William Coltrane, also known as "Trane" (September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967),[1] was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Working in the bebop and hard bop idioms early in his career, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes in jazz and was later at the forefront of free jazz. He led at least fifty recording sessions during his career, and appeared as a sideman on many albums by other musicians, including trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Thelonious Monk.

African beer keeps head as other markets go flat
By Alistair Thomson and Joe Bavier
DAKAR/KINSHASA (Reuters) - As the sun sets over the Congo River, drinkers trickle into Kinshasa's "Staff Franc Congolais" bar, testament to the resilience of Africa's thirst for beer even in difficult places and tough times.
"I get by. The Congolese drink every day. It's a distraction -- there's no world crisis as far as beer is concerned," says a co-owner, known as "Franc Congolais" after the local currency.
He adopted the nickname when rebels seized the vast country, formerly Zaire, in 1997 and changed its name back to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Its many violent upheavals habitually involve looting, although residents say breweries are mostly left untouched.
"If I can sell 120 bottles at 200 francs ($0.25) profit each in a day, that's enough for me," Franc Congolais said.
Big brewers operating in Africa may be slower to dismiss the threat from the global economic crisis that has caused economic havoc in the Democratic Republic of Congo and elsewhere.
Some brewers report a slowdown in sales growth, but they say Africa nevertheless offers rich expansion prospects compared with elsewhere, and even reduced growth on the continent will outstrip that of other regions this year.
"For sure we're seeing an impact, but still Africa is in growth, is providing more growth than many other parts of the world, and that's the environment where we're operating," said Nick Blazquez, Diageo's managing director for Africa. Continued...

Managing Generation Y -- Part 2
In Managing Generation Y, Bruce Tulgan and Carolyn A. Martin present a pocket guide to help managers understand the kids born between 1978 and 1998 -- a group of employees with quite different qualities from the Gen Xers before them.
Their book offers a look at these young adults aged 16 to 22, many with impressive resumes even before they hit the full-time workplace. With three to four part-time jobs or internships under their belts, the authors say, members of this group are already sure what they want from their careers and how they want to be managed.
The following excerpt is from Tulgan and Martin's book.
CHAPTER TWO: What Can Managers Expect From Generation Y?
When you meet them -- in interviews, team meetings, coaching sessions, behind the counter, on the warehouse floor, in the cubicle next to yours -- what should you expect? Although Gen Yers are as different from one another as they are from previous generations, you will find common characteristics running rampant throughout this cohort.
Gen Yers are much like their Gen X siblings -- independent, techno-savvy, entrepreneurial, hard workers who thrive on flexibility --- only much, much more. In place of Gen Xers' fierce independence, you will find Gen Yers to be more comfortable in their self-reliance. Whereas Gen Xers grew up witnessing Moore's Law (in the Information Age, technology doubles in performance every two years) in action and the transition from calculators to personal computers, by the time Gen Y was entering its teenage years, Moore's Law was being challenged as too slow. Most Gen Yers have been using computers since preschool and can dazzle the greatest techies of Gen X.
Understanding these characteristics -- and the challenges they pose -- will give you the edge in learning how to manage Gen Y. Gen Xers are in a hurry, no doubt. They want to know what you have to offer them next week, but Gen Y wants to know what you have to offer them RIGHT NOW. Gen Xers thrive on new experience, while Gen Yers demand thrill. Again, Gen Y is like Gen X on fast-forward with self-esteem.
Gen Yers are comfortably self-reliant
Like Xers, Yers are a "latchkey" generation. With America's high divorce rate and dual-income families, many have been left to their own devices and taught to take care of themselves. Reared on the discourse of self-esteem, Gen Yers are far less fierce than Xers in their independence. Rather than the Gen X style -- "I'd better be able to fend for myself. Now get out of my way!" -- Gen Yers' self-reliance is more comfortable and self-assured: "Of course I can fend for myself." Gen Yers' strong desire for collaboration adds another dimension: They want to do things their own way, but they work most enthusiastically in teams.
|Bruce Tulgan
Unlike their undersupervised Gen X siblings, many Yers have grown up oversupervised. Their parents have them enrolled in time-intensive before- and after-school activities and have bound them to the technological tethers of pagers and cell phones. Gen Yers have been so micromanaged by their parents, teachers, and counselors that they are eager to manage their own time. That means managers must be prepared to coach Gen Yers in time management --- how to break up larger projects into manageable pieces, plan their time, handle day-to-day tasks and responsibilities in the midst of daily interruptions, and meet their deadlines -- so they won't have to put up with managers breathing down their necks.
A 21-year-old office assistant in a real estate firm speaks for her generation when she says: "I definitely don't want someone breathing down my neck because I like to be given stuff and I like to do it at my own pace and I will get it done."
Yers love to be assigned a challenge (the results you need), given some freedom to explore the challenge, and then matched to the best team to tackle the challenge together. A multinational pharmaceutical company told us recently they just hired twenty graduates from the same university. Their strategy was to provide new hires with ready-made friendship groups and support systems to ease their transition into the workplace. What's your strategy?
They want technology -- and everything else -- right now
An ad for a high-tech company shows a youngster sitting before a computer, head in hands, exasperation pouring from his face. The caption reads: "The average Internet download takes 22 seconds. That's 22 seconds longer than a 10-year-old wants to wait." The pace of everything continues to accelerate. Twenty-two seconds seems long to a 10 year-old, a year is long-term to a Gen Yer, and three years is just a mirage.
They won't be lured by promises of climbing ladders, paying dues, and cashing out at retirement. They want to know: What value can I add today? What can I learn today? What will you offer me today? How will I be rewarded today?
Organizations that can't -- or won't -- customize training, career paths, incentives, work responsibilities need a wake-up call.
Of course, youthful impatience exists in every generation. But Yers often exhibit a "healthy impatience" when their tasks and responsibilities are at stake. They're asking: "How can I do my job when I don't have what I need -- training, resources, information -- to pull it off?"
You can count on it: Gen Yers will be curious not only about your culture, mission and goals; products, services and customers; compensation and benefits, but about the technology you use to support them. Gen Yers have high expectations of technology -- and when it doesn't measure up, they get impatient.
Gen Yers want infinitely thrilling opportunities
Gen X was touted as the most entrepreneurial generation in American history -- that is, until Gen Y. Today, it is not twentysomething business leaders capturing headlines, but teenagers. Encouraged by their Gen X predecessors, and often financed by their Baby Boomer parents, Gen Yers are starting their own businesses in their teenage years in record numbers-from employment services to Web shows for teens to incredibly successful dot coms -- often while they're still in high school.
High schools have continuously expanded on-site opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to include businesses in computers, construction, catering, design and manufacturing, day care, and art sales.
Gen Yers will always need the wisdom of older, seasoned mentors. That's a given. And they crave the guidance of knowledgeable, confident managers and co-workers. But they also want their valuable contributions appreciated -- they want their ideas to be heard by expert listeners who don't discount Yers outright simply because they're young. Gen Yers are not merely outside-the-box thinkers: They are innovative over-the-wall doers who won't settle for one-size-fits-all solutions.
|Carolyn A. Martin
Don't be surprised when Gen Yers ask you unrelentingly, "Why?" Gen Yers will challenge everything. Don't get miffed when they throw an "of course, there are other ways to do this" attitude at you. This constant questioning is the product of life-long exposure to the diverse points of view and the infinite possibilities presented by technology and the information tidal wave: Gen Yers have been bombarded by endless choices and options. They've been challenged by diverse core beliefs, opinions and points of view. They're frequently unwilling to settle for one solution until others are explored. And that is, of course, the prerequisite for innovation.
Expect the best from Gen Y and that's what you'll get
Are we looking at Gen Y through rose-colored glasses?
Of course, some Gen Yers are violent. Of course, some are bigoted and disrespectful. Of course, some are irresponsible. Of course, some will never contribute anything meaningful to life. We know that. But those youngsters are far and few between and hardly the most noteworthy segment of Generation Y.
Our research has focused on the broad trends and the vast majority of this emerging generation: Talented young adults who are eager to make a difference and who are looking for adult role models to help them on their way. An old saw claims: "You get what you expect." The best parents, the best educators, and the best leaders have always known that.
As Yers continue to make inroads into the workplace, the balance will gradually shift from Veteran/Boomer-dominated values and structures to those defined by Gen X and Gen Y -- and, synchronistically, those demanded by the new economy. Together, these two generations are already redefining how organizations can get the best work done by the best talent. Gen X and Gen Y together already make up nearly half of the American workforce, fifty-five million strong. More than fourteen million Gen Yers are already active in the U.S. workforce today. In fact, the rate of teenagers working in the United States is the highest in the industrialized world, and the highest in recorded U.S. history.
Both Gen X and Gen Y witnessed the demise of the lifetime employment paradigm their grandparents retired from and their parents were disillusioned by. After the tumultuous '80s and early '90s, when businesses told the workforce, "You're no longer our business. You're on your own," free agency became the wave of the future. And people of all ages are riding it today.
This trend will hold true for Gen Y. Whether working for themselves or others, Gen Yers have become the owners of what Tom Peters calls "Me, Inc." The best young talent is learning to negotiate the best deals in ways older generations would never have conceived.
A recent cartoon in a local newspaper pits a professional couple against a Gen Yer. The man is expounding, "The job market's tight. We don't want to lose you, so we're increasing your stock options, relaxing the dress code and installing a cappuccino machine...." The Gen Yer wearily responds: "Ok, I'll still baby-sit for you." And so it goes -- in organizations big and small around the country.

Travel Tips Vol. 3: Pro-Tips
Pro-tip Edition
Here are some expert tips for smooth and rewarding business travel.
1. Rewards Programs
No, you cannot book flights or hotels based solely on your preferred rewards programs- but that shouldn't stop you from collecting rewards points from a variety of locations. Rewards programs are easy and free ways of making business travel more profitable.
Egencia allows you to save rewards program numbers in your "Frequent traveler accounts" in your traveler profile. Each time you book a flight, hotel or car your corresponding program will automatically be attached to your booking.
2. Travel Preferences
Do you prefer an aisle seat to a window seat?
Are you on a low-calorie diet?
You can add to your trip comfort by saving travel preferences in your profile. Seat selection will filter automatically to your preferences and other requests will be carried to the vendor.
3. Is that your real name?
Joey, Barb and Jim will almost certainly have trouble at security check points and airport check-ins.
Your Egencia name should exactly match your full legal name as listed in your passport to avoid unnecessary hassles with irritable security guards.
If you need to change your name in Egencia please contact Karen to update.
4. Stay Organized
Getting organized is probably the easiest way to make your travel experience less stressful.
- Pack well. Travel light and smart with carry-on luggage and simple computer bags. Wear slip-on shoes and keep pack the belt and watch.
- Have a travel outfit. While it may sound silly, wearing the same jacket or bag each time you travel will allow you to keep your passport and ticket in the same pocket and avoid the 7 pocket slap dance each time you're asked for your ID.
- Use technology. Install tools like Tripit on your mobile phone to keep your travel details in one place. Add your teammates as "connections" to keep track of who is where.
- Stay hydrated. Jetleg can be minimized when you're hydrating during travel. No, alcohol does not hydrate.
- Eat healthy. Eat, period. Often travelers forgo airport food altogether- or opt for a greasy piece of pizza before takeoff. Grab some fruit and nuts or a salad before you go to avoid junk food cravings later on.
5. Visas
We're a global company, traveling further and faster. We can get you where you need to go- but if you don't have the right Visa you'll be turned away at the border.
You can find out if the country you are traveling to requires a Visa from the CIBT website. Brazil, India, China and Russia are popular and growing destinations that do require advance planning and travel Visas.
If you ever have questions, please check in with our resident immigration specialist Elisha Kim.

Travel Tips Vol. 2: Hotels Edition
All About Hotels
1. What is a "Published Rate" hotel?
Egencia has 4 types of hotel rates: (listed in preferred order for booking)
- Negotiated Rate Hotels– Mozilla has negotiated a corporate rate with these hotels based on an assumed number of room nights. You reserve these rooms in Egencia and the hotel bills Mozilla. Good choice!
- Egencia Preferred Rate Hotels– Catering to business travelers and offering the most business amenities. Rooms are charged directly to Mozilla. Good choice!
- Expedia Special Rate Hotels– Catering to business and vacation travelers with varying degrees of flexibility and amenities. Rooms are charged directly to Mozilla. Good choice!
- Published Rates or "rack rates"– Hotels with whom Egencia does not have contracted rates. These hotels are reserved in Egencia but require payment on arrival to the traveler's credit card. Rooms are filed as an expense and then reimbursed by Mozilla. Oops! Try again.
2. How do I tell what kind of room rate it is?
There are a few ways you can check what kind of rate you're picking:
- Colored Pins– Your hotel search will produce a list of hotels. The pin color is associated with the type of rate. Published rate hotels will only show in your search results if there are no other results available .
Green Pins = Negotiated Rate Hotels Good choice!
Yellow Pins = Egencia Preferred Rate Hotels Good choice!
Blue Pins = Expedia Special Rate Hotels Good choice!
Gray Pins= Published Rate Hotels Oops! Try again.
- Continue to Booking– Once you continue to the booking page to select your room you will see the type of rate the room is listed at the top of the screen.
3. How do I know if this is a good hotel?
Egencia has recently added TripAdvisor hotel reviews to their hotel search. You can read reviews before you book to determine if this hotel will be a good fit for your travel needs.
4. How do I change my hotel reservation?
Call your hotel directly. Hotel contact information and terms are always included in your trip information under the "Hotel summary." If you have any problems you can always call an Egencia representative to assist you.

Well, I certainly aren't holding my breath on this one, but there's definitely something wrong with the mount; it's torn from the top of the frame. I assume if the full weight of one side of the engine is borne by the bottom of the mount from (such as was in my first photo), not only is the rubber transmitting much of the vibrations from the engine, but the position of the engine has changed; in my case, it was unusual because I believe my modified exhaust was hitting the chassis under conditions just right (such as when I was turning right). There is mild wear at this point of contact, which didn't originally clue me in to chassis contact (I thought perhaps it was something that happened when I took my pipe in for re-welding, or perhaps it was a spot of rust or something). I think how the mount works is to suspend the engine within the frame of the mount (tensile strength), not support it from the bottom with the bulk of the rubber (compressive strength).
In the meantime, I'm trying to get some niggling things out of the way; it's not that I'm getting my hopes up about the mounts, but more that it's a problem even while I'm trying to diagnose my vibration problem. The main rad fan isn't working, and I need to figure out why. I'm not about to throw away all the work on the block by having it overheat on me while trying to figure out another problem. I haven't tested the fan, but I went through the Bentley, and have been able to get a voltage at terminals 37 and 80 (IIRC) at the fuse box, for the fan relay, but no voltage between green fan wire (positive), and the ground wire on the thermo switch. Does this sound like the relay (or possibly wiring between the relay and the thermo switch) is the problem?
li Arc
So yes ejenner the gap at the bottom is NORMAL.
PS: Li arc looking at your picture from last year - the mount had already collapsed. There is no air space at the bottom and you can see when it has torn away at the top....
The fact the top part is torn is showing that it has collapsed and the vibrations are transmitted far more easily through the rubber (downwards) than they are through the air space (that is normally present at the bottom of a healthy mount).
In situ as per saab photo, there should be gap at the top and the bottom, otherwise the mount has failed.

New mounts in, left one is ScanTech, right is Febi Bilstein. Thought it would completely fix the problem, but now the vibration is full on at stationary and idle, like the engine is resting directly on the frame (more than twice as bad as while turning right before). I didn't have time to check on the problem since I had another engagement, but I will have to check on it next week when I've got time again. Hoping it's just because some tool is left in there or something, because this makes absolutely no sense.
li Arc
that's a shame the vibrations are worse, your exhaust system isn't hard bolted to the chassis anywhere?
so it's still a vibration that occurs only while driving regardless of whether clutch is in or out and is twice as bad when turning right?
It's probably an annoying comment but I've always thought your problem was drivers but what have you done to check/test wheel bearings? they usually rumble but I guess vibrations could be possible?
So the front was replaced in December, when I got a new mount from Ray; the car has seen 200km's of road since and the front mount still looks terrific. I did loosen it to reduce stress on the mount when replacing the other mounts, but I rebolted them all to 30ftlbs (there was no torque spec on engine mount bolts, but the general spec was 30ftlbs for M10 bolts).
The exhaust is not hard bolted to the chassis, and even if it were previous to the engine pull, there were no such vibrations then. I don't think it's hitting the chassis neither, but I will have to double check, since I haven't had time to look it over since the testing.
The vibrations are present at stationary (the car isn't moving), and is full on...I didn't even dare take it out of a spin. This means the clutch is out. So nothing to do with drivers, wheel bearings, anything suspension related, nada...something weird with some type of placement of something; I hope I don't have to re-do the mounts again. I'll look it over later in the week.

Pictures say a thousand words.
This fully explains *everything*. Basically, what happened was the bolt head was too long and connected with the exterior of the engine mount, which was supposed to be buffered by the interior of the engine mount. Before, when I still had the worn mounts, the bolt normally sat just slightly below the curve of the engine mount, not quite touching it at idle. But when I turned right, the worn engine mounts allowed the engine to "fall" left, connecting with the engine mount and thus generating all manner of vibrations. When the old mounts were replaced, the bolt sat higher up (relative to the mount), where the mount curve no longer bypasses the bolt head, so the head was always in contact with the mount housing, transmitting all the vibrations.
The bolt on the right was the problematic bolt originally in the spot. The one just left of it was one of the other engine mount bolts, and the two left of that were new bolts. The bolt on the very left wouldn't fit, so I had to fit in the second bolt to the left (10mm); I would rather have fit a 15mm bolt, but I don't think it'll cause me any problems when it's torqued. The reason why the bolt on the very right was originally fitted was because I thought the rim just below the head was used to fit the countersunk bracket mounting point.
Now, all done.
This was a *seriously* tough nut to crack, especially given the intermittency of the previous symptoms, but I'm glad it's all done and over with now! So this is my contribution: make sure your bolts have enough clearance, whatever you're fitting! And if you're having weird vibration issues, check your mount bracket bolts! Oh, and it seems that new engine mounts do indeed keep that air gap:
I took it out for a bath today, the first in a couple years, and it's too bad I did it so late because while there was winter splash on it, there seems to be a few new rust spots. I'll have to take care of them some time, but for now, I've got bigger things to worry about. It also seems there is something gritty on the paint I couldn't get rid of at the wash, and there are some strange frost-patterns on it. Perhaps I'll see if I can get it detailed.
li Arc
In the meantime, I've got a couple larger scale things to worry about. First off is my main radiator fan isn't working, and it's not the switch. Going through the Bentley, I've determined there is no voltage at any of the test points, but going through the electrical diagrams there seems to be voltage between points 30 and 87 at the relay, so I'm tempted to think there's something wrong with the relay. Is there a way to test the relay?
I found another unknown relay in my spare parts bin, but the pinouts seem different, and there aren't any cars in the yard at the moment, so I won't be able to pull one easily.
It appears there are people selling both types on eBay (one even claiming that his part that looks like my spare works on an 85 turbo), but a local parts shop wants $137 for it and won't be able to get it in for at least a week. I may have to see if I can fine one of the 5-pin ones on eBay and perhaps give that a shot if there's no definitive way to determine whether or not the relay is bad (though there is voltage at 37 and 80).
Next thing is my idle is inconsistent. For the first 5 minutes after startup, it seems okay (although it could be better, but hovers around 800 mostly), but then afterwards it'll start to choke and compensate. This produces some wild oscillations between like 200 RPM and 1.8k RPM, with random duty cycles. I can't figure out what it is, and have tried different AICs, but I think it might have something to do with this:
A while back, I replaced the intake manifold with a new one from the yard because the fuel rail mounting points were stripped and I mangled them further before I found out about helicoils. My original manifold had simply a hole at the top for the AIC outlet/manifold inlet that was a slight interference fit for the brass elbow, and could be sealed with some compound. With this new manifold, I think it was supposed to be designed for a plastic elbow fitting with a barbed end, so the metal elbow just manages to fit. However, when there's oil (which there was bound to be because of the PCV system), the fitting can move about a bit. I might see if I can find a replacement at the yard sometime, but in the meantime I might try relocating the last vacuum line from the elbow and perhaps go to Home Depot and find a plastic elbow to use for now.
Next up is lighting, where my low beams aren't working but my high beams are. But that'll need more testing and it's not standard (I've now got an H4-4 HID system with 4 ballasts that I'll have to go through).
I'm also chugging along with the proposed turn signal stalk modifications to improve the wearability of the aluminum track that causes signal stalk sag. I just needed to know if anything sits directly behind the track so that I know whether or not I can use screws to replace part of the track with. It appears screws are the order of the day.
We shall soon be seeing some progress with these modifications, I imagine. For now, I need to figure out the idling problem because it's making the car feel very sloppy and unrefined.
But hey, at least it's back on the road now!
li Arc
Yahoo!!"" I'm so glad that you finally find the issue, I have never follow anyone on twitter, Facebook or a blog like your thread.
Now about the relay, I think that I have two spares, pm me.
Thanks for the support guys, I've got another question. I filled up on Mobil 1 10W30 synth and have run 233kms on it so far, but I've been reading how break-in should be performed with conventional oil or perhaps break-in oil. I also came across Mobil's own recommendations, but it appears they talk about newer engine technology allowing for this. I can probably find purpose break-in oil from a local shop, but just want to know if this is needed, or if I can just break in longer or something...I was originally planning a 1500km break-in period.
li Arc
I'd hate to say it, but it might be too late. The purpose to the break in oil or the conventional oil is to seat the rings. I'm no pro engine builder, but that is what I understand when talking to the pros. When they go to the engine dyno with a "brand new" engine they see the torque and horsepower begin to climb after the 3rd or 4th WOT pull. After that it levels off. They contribute that to the rings seating. Then they can begin tuning.
When I did my rebuild I used Castrol 10-30 GTX for about 500 miles.
Redline synthetic after that.
BTW nice work on finally finding the vibration culprit. To me it looks like a counter sunk screw goes in that location. Kinda like what you would find on a brake rotor, Torx drive. '88+ brakes
Hmm...maybe I'll just stick with this for now then, I imagine as long as I give it good varied driving conditions and a longer wear period it should be okay (although, I haven't really gone over atmospheric for boost...should I?). It looks like results are a bit inconsistent across the board, with people with the same (new) cars driving under the same conditions with the same oil getting different results, whether that oil is mineral or synthetic. Also other people who are doing rebuilds on older cars than ours that had good results using Mobil 1 for break in...it appears the oil isn't the only variable in this equation.
As for the countersunk bolt, that's what I thought the bolt I pulled out was, because I don't recall a screw used for the engine mount bracket. You'll notice apart from the countersunk, it appears there is space for that shoulder for the bracket as well...I think it was a logical place to put that bolt, as I don't see anywhere else that the bolt could have gone (it seems that's the only countersunk hole in the bracket). At any rate, I've used the flat head bolt, but seeing as there are like 4 or 5 bolts in total on the mount, all torqued to between 15 and 17ft lbs, I think it should be fine.
li Arc
Okay, so I managed to get the low beams working again (just some contact problem at the system's tiny fusebox), and it appears my main rad fans are working again, so two down.
But two more new problems (which are most likely related to each other, as well as to the last problem, so hopefully we're still down to one problem). When I put the switch to Run position, but without starting the car, I hear the fuel pump running, which isn't supposed to happen. If I try this a couple more times, intermittently you will hear the fuel pump relay click-click-click like 7 to 10 times, then go quiet (as well as the fuel pump). This also affect interior lighting (which shuts off with the click then resumes immediately). Perplexed by it, I thought I'd deal with it later, until I started the car, ran it for a bit, and then tried to shut it off and nothing! The car still runs, even at Lock position and I pull the key out! The RPMs will first plummet to almost stall, then start to rise, and the instrument panel lights and head lights go out, but all the instrumentation is still live (tach, fuel, temp, etc). After about 2.2kRPM or so, it'll stop rising, but may dip and rise again. If I put it back into Run position, the ECU is running again, and pulls it back down to idle. Luckily I've experienced a no-start situation before because the instrument cluster fuse is busted (fuse 22), so I pull that which shuts the car down. This is the biggest problem at the moment; I did try replacing the fuel pump and main system relays, but no change.
The other problem is that idle is still really iffy. It is able to idle at ~800RPM, so it's not a vacuum issue, but you will feel it "cut in and out", as if the ECU is suddenly not paying attention, and RPMs may drop, be compensated for, then go back to ~800RPM. The bigger the drop, the bigger the compensation; the drop may be as little as 50 RPM (these drops are not a normal idle hunting, but digital, like an immediate cut down 50 RPM then compensate) or as big as almost stalling (600RPM drop or more). I tried replacing the AIC already, but that didn't do it. I'm wondering what the problem is, but am almost certain it's electrical in nature. My biggest suspicion now is that I'm running a -538 ECU, which I think was used on LH2.2 '88 cars? Something like that, on recommendation from Jak Stoll when I was still running his chip (not any longer, however). I will try switching out to the native '85 ECU (-520 I think?) over the weekend, and go from there. Maybe I'll see if I can post a video.

I didn't have time to delve into the ignition switch issue today, but I did take a look through regular culprits, like the AMM and the ignition system. All looked good, and I did tweak the AMM a bit (just to get it to 380 ohms dead on), but no change. I will be revisiting the ignition switch tomorrow, hopefully.
I took a video of the erratic idling issue, as well as the weird ignition shutoff issue which I'm hoping someone else can also confirm is very likely the ignition switch or associated wiring. If I don't get an answer on the idling problem, I will probably try switching out to a native '85 ECU (apparently not -520, but -515).
li Arc
In case anyone was wondering, the ignition/idling issue is still ongoing, and is being discussed here. It's possible that the two symptoms are related, but we'll see where we get with it. I'm hoping that it's something like a relay or perhaps even the ECU, which I'll double check later in the week or on the weekend.
Someone in the post mentioned that it's possible it's degraded wiring, and this has always been an issue with the '85 in the back of my mind. Up till now, I've been fairly lucky with the electronics, and while they're not super tip-top, it hasn't yet let me down. However, I have done some wiring repairs so far, and I can see some potential problems waiting to occur (such as turbo knock sensor and APC valve). In the long run, it's really a matter of time until the inevitable occurs and things go south. If things ever turn out to be wiring issues, I may have to consider replacing the harness. And if that were the case, I may very well consider an upgrade instead. I've been holding off on MS for a while now because of two things: 1) wiring harness (and making my own vs. using an adapter, though in this scenario the former would be better), and 2) tuning from scratch. I've gathered most of the parts for MS including the trigger wheel and EDIS, but I haven't found the motivation to work on it yet, especially given the long hiatus since I've last driven the c900. It is also possible that even with the system up and running, rolling road tuning is going to take a long time to dial in even back to original specs. But I'm beginning to read up on T5, and it looks intriguing, especially because I can eliminate the two showstoppers...but I'm only toying with the idea now because if the wiring on the '85 holds, I'm in no rush and will gather parts at leisure. There is a '96 9000T at the yard...
First and foremost is to try to figure out what the problem is with the electricals; I'm not entirely convinced it's wiring, to be honest. The symptoms aren't consistent with constant shorts or opens.
li Arc
Just slogging through the wiring inspections now, as you'll have noticed in the erratic shutdown thread, and still need to go through the +15 distribution line, which might take me more time. At the moment, I can drive it and sometimes it shuts down properly, but I'm not keen on stalling it or pulling fuses when it doesn't. I think one of the key things are to look at why the fuel pump can start before the engine cranks, as the ECU requires a crank signal to start it up. I can't see how the system could s**** a crank signal somehow, and I've swapped in a couple other ECUs with the same results. Something's really amiss there. I'll continue to update the erratic shutdown thread as new developments come up.
In the meantime, I decided to do something more fun and tangible to take my mind off the shutdown problem, so I replaced a bunch of incandescent lamps with LEDs, and replaced the flasher with an LED flasher. This seems to work well even with incandescents (I'm missing one flasher bulb). The flasher is a Japanese-style relay, so the E (31) and B (49) lines, the two left and right wires in the relay holder, had to be swapped; L (49a) stays where it is. Seeing as it was <$10 for two relays with free shipping vs. $13 for each Euro-style with expensive shipping, I didn't have any problems doing the swap. Also, I did this:
The screws were filed down by hand due to the limited space in there, and is fairly even with the original surface (not fully, but enough so). For the ledge and indent, my coworker used the mill and a PCB router bit on it to precisely machine it down some, and while it's not exactly like the original, I was quite happy with it. I lubed it up with some moly grease, and refitted the signal stalk to the steering column and it feels fantastic. But of course, the feel isn't the entire purpose of this mod, but more importantly the longevity of it. If I read the screws correctly, they are equivalent to a 10.9 bolt, so I'm thinking it's fairly durable (although perhaps more tensile than compressive?) steel. I'll let you guys know how this works out in half a year (assuming I'll have been driving the car for half a year by then).
I know this isn't as exciting as new forged pistons or a T5 swap, but I don't necessarily need that right now, I just want to enjoy the c900 again! Oh, and credit goes to Peva for coming up with this idea!

Constitutional County Courts
Each county in Texas has a single county court presided over by a county judge. The constitutional county courts generally hear the probate cases filed in the county. They have original jurisdiction over all Class A and Class B misdemeanor criminal cases, which are the more serious minor offenses. These courts usually have appellate jurisdiction in cases appealed from justice of the peace and municipal courts, except in counties where county courts at law have been established. These courts share jurisdiction with justice of the peace and district courts in civil cases in which the amount in controversy is small. Content Detail
Court of Criminal Appeals
The Court of Criminal Appeals is the highest state court for appeals resulting from criminal cases. The Court holds sessions throughout the year in Austin, Texas. The Court is comprised of 9 members, a Presiding Judge and eight Judges. Decisions of the Courts of Appeals in criminal cases may be appealed to the Court of Criminal Appeals by petition for discretionary review, filed either by the state, or the defendant, or both. In addition, the Court may review a decision on its own motion. All cases which result in the Death Penalty are automatically directed to the Court of Criminal Appeals from the trial court level.

Statutory County Courts
Because the Constitution limits each county to a single county court, the Legislature has created statutory county courts at law in the larger counties to aid the single county court in its judicial functions. The legal jurisdiction of the special county-level trial courts varies considerably and is established by the statute which creates the particular court. The jurisdiction of statutorily-created county courts at law is usually concurrent with the jurisdiction of the county and district courts in the county. The civil jurisdiction of most county courts at law varies, but is usually more than that of the justice of the peace courts and less than that of the district courts. County courts at law usually have appellate jurisdiction in cases appealed from justice of the peace and municipal courts. Content Detail
Statutory Probate Courts
The Statutory Probate Courts of Texas are located in the state's six largest metropolitan areas and have original and exclusive jurisdiction over their counties' probate matters, guardianship cases, and mental health commitments. In most counties, the constitutional county court has original probate jurisdiction. In some counties, the Legislature has authorized certain statutorily created county courts to share this original jurisdiction. The original probate jurisdiction of district courts is limited to those situations in which a contested probate matter is transferred from a constitutional county court and when the Legislature has granted the district court original control and jurisdiction over personal representatives. In the more populated counties, the Legislature has created specialized probate courts (entitled statutory probate courts) to hear probate matters exclusively. Thus, depending on the jurisdictional grant by the Legislature, probate matters might be heard in the county court, county court at law, statutory probate court, or district court of a particular county.

Insider trader may face 39 months in prison
By Pav Jordan
TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian judge said on Friday he's likely to sentence a man who pleaded guilty to a series of illegal insider trades stretching back to 1994 to 39 months in prison and impose penalties that would leave him penniless.
His remarks came during a hearing in which defense lawyers and prosecutes submitted a joint recommendation for sentencing in one of the biggest Canadian insider trading cases ever.
Their submission would require Stan Grmovsek, who ran the scheme with his best friend, to pay nearly $1.5 million to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and C$1.28 million ($1.2 million) to the Ontario Securities Commission, Canada's major securities regulator.
"It is my intention to impose that sentence," Toronto Judge Robert Bigelow told a small courtroom after hearing arguments from the defense and prosecution. Bigelow will announce his decision on sentencing in early January.
Grmovsek may have to serve even more jail time depending on the sentence and conditions that a U.S. court imposes on him at a later date.
Grmovsek pleaded guilty last week, admitting to three counts of insider trading for a scam that ran 14 years and netted a total of about C$10 million. Grmovsek and his partner, Gil Cornblum, traded on confidential information on 46 deals, some of them major mergers and acquisitions.
Cornblum, a law-school buddy who was best man at Grmovsek's wedding, jumped to his death from a Toronto highway bridge last week. It was his third attempt at suicide.
"I hazard to guess we will not see an insider trading case of this magnitude again," said John Corelli, deputy director of the Crown Law Office, criminal division, at Ontario's Ministry of the Attorney General. Continued...

To All, The extra terrestrials are not of flesh and blood,they are spirit beings.You would say you have no proof that The Creator and His Angels exist,I would say you have no proof that They do not.I however do have proof.Back in 1975 I lived in the "WET mountains" in southern Colorado,across the valley from the "SANGRE DI CRISTO" mountains ,The Blood of Christ mountains.One night we saw an amber light come up from our horizon,at first we thought it was a satellite.When we saw a second light a few minutes later we said it can not be a satellite maybe it is a flying saucer. Then we decided that if another light came we would all hold hands and think the same thought and send it tel-apathetically to the next light if another came.We decided to ask are you coming for us soon,with the additional thought that if we received any recognition we would consider it a positive response to our question.The third light came and blinked off for a split second and went on its way,now we are amazed and thinking wow we just communicated with an Extra Terrestrial.Than another light came and another total of SEVEN,we communicated with two of the seven.Some time later,a few days or so I took a photograph as we were driving towards the general direction of where the lights seemed to originate from and noticed years later there was something unusual on the photograph,it was a torpedo shape of light making a hard right turn and was moving so fast that it showed up as two connected images as it made the turn.Years later I found out about the "URANTIA BOOK" and found in its pages a description of "TRANSPORTER ANGELS" "a torpedo shape of amber light! Thirty years later I climbed the western face of the mountain I ascertained was the one and took another photo,bear in mind while I was taking the photos I saw nothing in the sky!I still have these photographs and my personal experience of 1975 and my experience of July 5,1984 that I speak of in other threads and posts,such as,Death is Survivable ,or The truth of what it means to be enraptured and what I experienced in 1984!GOD IS LIVING LIGHT AND SO ARE HIS ANGELS!Over the years I have shown these photographs to hundreds of people with the description in the "URANTIA BOOK" ALL WERE AMAZED. the white rose You must seek experiential growth if you would see what is unseen to most. The Reserve Corps of Destiny
(1257.1) 114:7.1 The reserve corps of destiny consists of living men and women who have been admitted to the special service of the superhuman administration of world affairs. This corps is made up of the men and women of each generation who are chosen by the spirit directors of the realm to assist in the conduct of the ministry of mercy and wisdom to the children of time on the evolutionary worlds. It is the general practice in the conduct of the affairs of the ascension plans to begin this liaison utilization of mortal will creatures immediately they are competent and trustworthy to assume such responsibilities. Accordingly, as soon as men and women appear on the stage of temporal action with sufficient mental capacity, adequate moral status, and requisite spirituality, they are quickly assigned to the appropriate celestial group of planetary personalities as human liaisons, mortal assistants.
(1257.2) 114:7.2 When human beings are chosen as protectors of planetary destiny, when they become pivotal individuals in the plans which the world administrators are prosecuting, at that time the planetary chief of seraphim confirms their temporal attachment to the seraphic corps and appoints personal destiny guardians to serve with these mortal reservists. All reservists have self-conscious Adjusters, and most of them function in the higher cosmic circles of intellectual achievement and spiritual attainment.
(1257.3) 114:7.3 Mortals of the realm are chosen for service in the reserve corps of destiny on the inhabited worlds because of:
(1257.4) 114:7.4 1. Special capacity for being secretly rehearsed for numerous possible emergency missions in the conduct of various activities of world affairs.
(1257.5) 114:7.5 2. Wholehearted dedication to some special social, economic, political, spiritual, or other cause, coupled with willingness to serve without human recognition and rewards.
(1257.6) 114:7.6 3. The possession of a Thought Adjuster of extraordinary versatility and probable pre-Urantia experience in coping with planetary difficulties and contending with impending world emergency situations.
(1257.7) 114:7.7 Each division of planetary celestial service is entitled to a liaison corps of these mortals of destiny standing. The average inhabited world employs seventy separate corps of destiny, which are intimately connected with the superhuman current conduct of world affairs. On Urantia there are twelve reserve corps of destiny, one for each of the planetary groups of seraphic supervision.
(1257.8) 114:7.8 The twelve groups of Urantia destiny reservists are composed of mortal inhabitants of the sphere who have been rehearsed for numerous crucial positions on earth and are held in readiness to act in possible planetary emergencies. This combined corps now consists of 962 persons. The smallest corps numbers 41 and the largest 172. With the exception of less than a score of contact personalities, the members of this unique group are wholly unconscious of their preparation for possible function in certain planetary crises. These mortal reservists are chosen by the corps to which they are respectively attached and are likewise trained and rehearsed in the deep mind by the combined technique of Thought Adjuster and seraphic guardian ministry. Many times numerous other celestial personalities participate in this unconscious training, and in all this special preparation the midwayers perform valuable and indispensable services.
(1258.1) 114:7.9 On many worlds the better adapted secondary midway creatures are able to attain varying degrees of contact with the Thought Adjusters of certain favorably constituted mortals through the skillful penetration of the minds of the latters' indwelling. (And it was by just such a fortuitous combination of cosmic adjustments that these revelations were materialized in the English language on Urantia.) Such potential contact mortals of the evolutionary worlds are mobilized in the numerous reserve corps, and it is, to a certain extent, through these small groups of forward-looking personalities that spiritual civilization is advanced and the Most Highs are able to rule in the kingdoms of men. The men and women of these reserve corps of destiny thus have various degrees of contact with their Adjusters through the intervening ministry of the midway creatures; but these same mortals are little known to their fellows except in those rare social emergencies and spiritual exigencies wherein these reserve personalities function for the prevention of the breakdown of evolutionary culture or the extinction of the light of living truth. On Urantia these reservists of destiny have seldom been emblazoned on the pages of human history.
(1258.2) 114:7.10 The reservists unconsciously act as conservators of essential planetary information. Many times, upon the death of a reservist, a transfer of certain vital data from the mind of the dying reservist to a younger successor is made by a liaison of the two Thought Adjusters. The Adjusters undoubtedly function in many other ways unknown to us, in connection with these reserve corps.
(1258.3) 114:7.11 On Urantia the reserve corps of destiny, though having no permanent head, does have its own permanent councils which constitute its governing organization. These embrace the judiciary council, the historicity council, the council on political sovereignty, and many others. From time to time, in accordance with the corps organization, titular (mortal) heads of the whole reserve corps have been commissioned by these permanent councils for specific function. The tenure of such reservist chiefs is usually a matter of a few hours' duration, being limited to the accomplishment of some specific task at hand.
(1258.4) 114:7.12 The Urantia reserve corps had its largest membership in the days of the Adamites and Andites, steadily declining with the dilution of the violet blood and reaching its low point around the time of Pentecost, since which time reserve corps membership has steadily increased.
(1258.5) 114:7.13 (The cosmic reserve corps of universe-conscious citizens on Urantia now numbers over one thousand mortals whose insight of cosmic citizenship far transcends the sphere of their terrestrial abode, but I am forbidden to reveal the real nature of the function of this unique group of living human beings.)
(1258.6) 114:7.14 Urantia mortals should not allow the comparative spiritual isolation of their world from certain of the local universe circuits to produce a feeling of cosmic desertion or planetary orphanage. There is operative on the planet a very definite and effective superhuman supervision of world affairs and human destinies.
(1258.7) 114:7.15 But it is true that you can have, at best, only a meager idea of an ideal planetary government. Since the early times of the Planetary Prince, Urantia has suffered from the miscarriage of the divine plan of world growth and racial development. The loyal inhabited worlds of Satania are not governed as is Urantia. Nevertheless, compared with the other isolated worlds, your planetary governments have not been so inferior; only one or two worlds may be said to be worse, and a few may be slightly better, but the majority are on a plane of equality with you.
(1259.1) 114:7.16 No one in the local universe seems to know when the unsettled status of the planetary administration will terminate. The Nebadon Melchizedeks are inclined to the opinion that little change will occur in the planetary government and administration until Michael's second personal arrival on Urantia. Undoubtedly at this time, if not before, sweeping changes will be effected in planetary management. But as to the nature of such modifications of world administration, no one seems to be able even to conjecture. There is no precedent for such an episode in all the history of the inhabited worlds of the universe of Nebadon. Among the many things difficult to understand concerning the future government of Urantia, a prominent one is the location on the planet of a circuit and divisional headquarters of the archangels.
(1259.2) 114:7.17 Your isolated world is not forgotten in the counsels of the universe. Urantia is not a cosmic orphan stigmatized by sin and shut away from divine watchcare by rebellion. From Uversa to Salvington and on down to Jerusem, even in Havona and on Paradise, they all know we are here; and you mortals now dwelling on Urantia are just as lovingly cherished and just as faithfully watched over as if the sphere had never been betrayed by a faithless Planetary Prince, even more so. It is eternally true, "the Father himself loves you."

you have to write the theme author in the items comment area or his own forum. Double check the description if a XML file is provided as it is not necessary to do so. Due to copyright issues offering a XML that leads to images purchased on sites like photodune that can bring the seller and you when using them without a lisence in trouble, many authors only provide dummy images through XML if even.
I can't comment on the code but here are my five cents:
Effects and technique seem super fine from the front end view, however the design isn't very good. There are too many things that just don't add up (color, typography etc etc etc) However this shouldn't really get in your way joining themeforest because it is super rare someone masters design and code at the same time. What you need is a designer to team up with, that's all. From what I see you can get a well made theme on themeforest with your coding skills and someone elses design skills. It's how most authors do it here anyways
As for Landoz: You won't be able to bring it up to TF standards – just see it as a good case study. Post a message in the forum that you want to team up with a designer and you will find someone in no time.
Best, Bebel
Ok – it's clear now. Thanks
among other things one issue that is not clear to me: do the buyers get my full address and name on their invoice (those data that I provided to Envato and are saved in my envato account) or only the Username/company name?
it is understandable that you are upset when not receiving support right away but keep in mind that support is not mandatory on ThemeForest. Envato wants to change that but even suggested a 72 hours reply time because it might be simply impossible for authors to reply to the many requests they get each day within a shorter time frame. I had a look at the authors page – did you see the Support tab on the top of the item's page? It guides you to their support ticket system http://joinwebs.ticksy.com/ I guess that's where you need to try.
Hope that helps

Hey guys. I'll be completely upfront with you, no one likes it when we have to soft disable a file. It certainly doesn't benefit you, the buyer, or even us. And we're very aware of the impact it has when an item needs to be taken down for repairs. The Review Team will always approach each occasion with common sense to that we can avoid or minimize the pain as much as we can.
It simply not true. Maybe YOU act like this when you do soft-disables, but for us it's clear that a person who disabled our theme twice didn't think that the item is in the top list for this week and the problem is ridiculously minor to "punish" my team like that. We developed the theme for 8 months and can loose all the traction in a week because of it. As a person who pay salaries to my support team and developer, I can't rely on "common sense" here because it tell me to find a better place to sell my product.What many authors in this thread wants is not to rely on the reviewer's "personal sense" or their judgement, but have a common rule like: If the issues with the item isn't a security problem then you obliged to send author a notice to fix it in 72 hours and only then disable the theme.
Totally agree: there must be solid rules that authors and reviewers can trust. 72 hours for not security related issues seems fair and balanced.
We had the same thing happen to us before: one of our top selling items was soft disabled for some small thing I can't even remember. I told support that this is a super ignorant move – not even warning us before or give us time to fix the issue or something Instead they disabled a theme that earns us money. More over I was on holiday that time and had to manage the fix. Happy I even found out about it quick enough.
In general I totally understand the idea behind it and I actually think it is a good think if it helps to improve the overall quality of items on the marketplace. I have the feeling though that sometimes envato forgets that people are living from what they are doing here and that they need trust in envato to sleep at night.

Now it affects all users as well, great… If I am the seller, why do I have to pay VAT for people for which my country charges no VAT for. My country does not have a specific VAT for selling people in EU.
Even if your business is located outside of EU, this doesn't mean that you don't need to pay VAT for EU customers.
As long as you want to sell services to EU customers (individual clients), after January 1, 2015 you will have to pay VAT in the country where customer is located. (or register to "mini one-stop shop" – MOSS – to pay VAT in one place).http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/telecom/index_en.htm
No, I pay sales VAT in my country, and its not specific to EU.European laws do not apply in my country, nor they have any jurisdiction. If my country says I don't have to pay taxes, I won't. Clear as that.
I am afraid you do – the European Union is free to decide how it handles purchases within its territory, so if you want to sell within the EU you need to comply with its laws. It is the same way the U.S. does it.
The only problem here is, that envato states (in the TOS) that, we sell directly to buyers, which isn't true and it never was.
But then again in their terms and conditions they say that people get Envato Credits for their money which they can later use to buy themes on the marketplace. Shouldn't they already have added the VAT there?
Hey Collis,
it would be great to have an answer about the questions whether we need to pay taxes for past transactions. As I saw it: in your terms and conditions it is said that people buying on the marketplace deposit money in Envato dollars. They can then use these Envato Credits to purchase items on the marketplace: "13. Envato credits: When you deposit money into your Envato Market account it is converted by your financial institution from your currency to US Dollars. We then convert those US Dollars to Envato credits. Envato credits are the virtual currency on Envato Market and one (1) Envato Credit is equal to one (1) US Dollar."
The way Envato works I also cannot give my clients a receipt for their purchase. I don't know who they are and where they are from. To add to the complexity – at least in Germany we would be examined from VAT under a certain amount of money per year but needed to state that on the receipt for the buyer.

Welcome back to this week's series, where we are examining some basic questions about Divorce Ministry 4 Kids. Yesterday we answered "Why Divorce Ministry 4 Kids?" and today we will tackle: "Why now?"
This one is easy – because God said so! Allow me for just a minute to share some of my journey on this road. A couple of years ago, I was listening to a radio broadcast about the decline of marriage in American reflected largely in high divorce rates. The skies did not open up, and I did not hear the audible word of God, but I did have a nagging sense that I should research the issue further. At the time, I thought, "maybe God wants me to write an article about his view of divorce or on the negative impact of divorce on our society."
I'd like to say I immediately answered the call of God and got right at it, but took a more familiar road. I did some research, printed some article, read a little bit, and then moved on to other things. I did intentionally ignore God's call, but I certainly let it take a back seat to many other things. Still, the issue continued to percolate within in me (something I now realize was the Holy Spirit working on me).
About eight months ago, something rekindled the fire, and quite frankly, moved it in a whole new direction. Reading in Malachi, I came across some of the more well known verses in the Bible on the issue of divorce. Malachi is the book that contains (in some translations) the "God hates divorce" language. But, it was not that verse that really caught my attention. It was Malachi 2:14-15:
14 But you say, "Why does he not?" Because the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. 15 Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth.
What struck me most about these verses I think is often missed, or overlooked, in favor of the broad assertion that "God hates divorce." Divorce does grieve God, and think these verses explain one of the principal reasons that divorce grieves Him. Note the explanation of why God brought together the man and wife as one. What does the Bible tell us that God was seeking in that union? Godly offspring! In these verses, God reveals that part of what grieves him about divorce is that it interferes with His plan to produce godly offspring. If not explicit, I think this is an implicit suggestion in scripture of the effects of divorce on children. I hope to repost that article sometime soon here on Divorce Ministry 4 Kids.
Since publishing that article in early December of last year, I have been researching the issue of divorce generally, and the effects of divorce on children specifically. I've read countess articles, books and publications, spoken to numerous people who run divorce care programs for adults and kids, exchanged correspondence with those involved with ministry to single parents, and begun a survey of people who have lived through their parents divorce. All of these efforts have been directed by one guiding question, what can we do to better equip children's ministries, churches and congregation to be more loving and minister more effectively to children of divorce.

Speech Topics
Samantha Nutt Customizable Speech Topics
Dr. Samantha Nutt can speak to a variety of inspirational topics that are customizable to your corporation or audience. Topics include the following: Leadership Matters: What it means to be a global citizen in an interconnected world Taking Your Vision to Action Corporate Social Responsibility: What does it really mean and how can you achieve it? Humanitarianism and Aid: How to promote a more equitable world. Global Health: When prevention is worth even more than the cure. More than a Paycheque: The meaningful career path. Creating a Groundswell: Fostering movements and achieving social change.
Conflicted? The World of War
This presentation takes a compelling look at the impact of war – the truth, the lies and the reality on the ground – and the major events currently shaping our world. Geared towards students, educator and general audiences, this captivating presentation examines our growing global economic and security inter-dependence and explores the meaning of social justice and community in the 21st century.
The Price of Inaction
So what does it take to realize a vision of the world in which we act on our responsibilities as citizens? To do a better job (not necessarily even a perfect job) of protecting civilians caught in the crossfire of war? To reduce, if not eliminate, the threat of war as a propagator of death and disease and destruction and unfathomable hardship? What will this take?
In this presentation, Dr. Nutt explains that it takes nothing less than a dramatic shift in the way we think about war. It takes a moral and philosophical transformation around the privileged position we occupy in the world – geographically, politically and economically – and the responsibility that comes along with this.
Corporate Governance
Doing the "right" thing in business isn't without its ambiguities, or even its liabilities. When do ethical screens trump financial considerations? How are these assessments weighted and what matters to shareholders? Will you be in breach of your fiduciary duty if you prioritize human rights over hard math? What is your legal obligation either way?
In this thought-provoking presentation geared to investors, asset managers and business leaders, Dr. Nutt reflects on the changing ethical and fiduciary responsibilities facing businesses, and the meaning of governance and risk at a time of growing consumer activism and evolving international legislation. She examines the true meaning of transparency and corporate social responsibility, and makes the case for why businesses willing to embrace these changes will land on top.
Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies & Aid
This presentation explores some of the concepts and themes in Dr. Nutt's #1 bestselling book, Damned Nations. Suitable for audiences looking to understand more about current and international affairs, this gripping keynote is a valuable introduction to the challenges and opportunities facing our world.
Culture & Identity
When we talk about diversity, it's important to start with an understanding of global events that are shaping our world, and the impact these can have on schools and even in the workplace. North America's ties to some of the crises currently playing out around the world run very deep, from the Ukraine to events in Syria, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Iraq, Sudan, Eastern Congo, Pakistan and Afghanistan, to name but a few.
This presentation is especially relevant to educators and employers by offering practical tips for understanding and promoting culture and diversity.
Leaders have strength, courage and conviction. Were they born with these illusive qualities, alongside a perfect balance of knowledge and charisma, or have they simply learned to communicate their experience and ideas more effectively than the rest of us? Leaders encourage us to inspire, to think and to demand more of ourselves and of our society. They connect us to something larger than ourselves. But is leadership just ingrained in certain people, or can it be acquired? Can we all be leaders?
In this presentation, Dr. Nutt looks at the meaning and significance of leadership. She maps out ways in which we can all be more effective leaders – in the world and in the workplace – because the capacity to lead exists in each and every one of us.
When Women Lead
A popular choice for International Women's Day and other events celebrating women's leadership, this presentation combines humor and personal reflections on women in the 21st century and why the women's movement is unfinished everywhere. Dr. Nutt's often satirical take on hot topics such as "Lean In" and whether "women can have it all" offers an engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining examination of the challenges women still face in the world and how women (and men) can advocate for change. This presentation is also suitable for businesses and other groups looking to promote diversity and strengthen gender equality at the senior management and executive levels, as well as on Boards.
Student Activism & Public Engagement
How can students have a global impact? What really does make a difference? And is it possible to do more harm than good? In this riveting and inspiring speech, Dr. Nutt outlines how students can get involved in global efforts and provides them with practical tools for getting started.

As suggested on the Support link at Rock Your Phone, I submitted an email to Intelliborn for this, but, again, thought it would be good to share here, in case others might find it helpful. Below is a copy of what I sent:
Hi there! Just paid for MyProfiles on my Rock Your Phone page. I had been exploring the trail version for the past few days. Very happy with it, overall.
Have an issue with it now though: I like the escalating volume for calls. But, what happens is that, if I either answer a call or it goes into voicemail before the volume escalates to 100%, then the volume remains low, at whatever the volume was when call was either answered by me or by my voicemail.
Sometimes this means the volume stays super low, so, if a new email/text/call comes in before I have realized this, then the alarm set to alert of this email/text/call goes off at that very low volume, which is difficult, of course, to hear.
Please let me know if this bug can be fixed soon, and when I should check for the update at RockYourPhone. Thanks! Cheers

Former Home Secretary Charles Clarke told the Old Bailey today of his anger at being confronted by The Sun with claims he was having an affair with his special adviser.
He said a reporter claimed to have evidence of an affair with Hannah Pawlby but the MP told him it was untrue and threatened to sue for libel.
Mr Clarke placed the meeting with political editor Trevor Kavanagh between October 2005 and March 2006.
"He said he wanted to see me urgently," said the ex-minister. "I agreed and we met in my office in the Commons behind the Speaker's chair.
"He told me he had evidence to show that Hannah and I were having an affair. He said he'd try to get it sympathetically covered in The Sun if I confessed it to him and gave him the story.
"I said such a relationship never existed and so there was no basis on which we could continue to talk."
Ms Pawlby spoke of how another Sun journalist told her about photographs of her with Mr Clarke. "She said we were having an affair, they were to run the story and what would I say about it?" she told the court. "There was no truth in it and I went to Charles."
Mr Clarke phoned the Sun editor's office and although Rebekah Wade (later Brooks) was on holiday he threatened to sue. No report appeared in The Sun or the News of the World.
The jury has heard that private investigator Glenn Mulcaire hacked Ms Pawlby's mobile phone in June 2005.
Recordings of voicemails left on her phone — including two by then-NoW editor Andy Coulson — which had been found at Mulcaire's home were played to the court. On them Coulson asks Ms Pawlby to contact Mr Clarke so he could speak to him about a "quite serious story" the paper planned to run.
Coulson's lawyer said there were other news stories Mr Clarke could have been asked to comment on.
Brooks, Coulson and six others all deny a range of offences that include conspiracy and perverting the course of justice. The case continues.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/7/2014 (1067 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Carter Proft will join former Brandon Wheat Kings teammate Jens Meilleur playing professional hockey in Germany this fall.
Proft, a 20-year-old Spokane Chiefs left-winger who was acquired from the Wheat Kings during the 2011-12 season, has decided to forgo his overage season in the WHL to sign his first pro contract with the Kassel Huskies of Germany's 2nd Division Bundesliga.
Meilleur, a 21-year-old right-winger from Elie who recently completed his four-year Wheat Kings career, signed with Kassel last week. Meilleur will be one of 20 current and former Brandon players who will work the Wheat Kings' annual hockey school next week before he heads overseas.
Proft, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound native of Spruce Grove, Alta., scored 25 goals and notched 44 points while racking up 398 penalty minutes in 196 career WHL games with Brandon and Spokane. He was originally a fifth-round pick by the Wheat Kings in the 2009 bantam draft.

Race-Day Engagement and Mobile Capabilities Lead To Double-Digit Increase In Monthly Unique Visitors On NASCAR.com In 2013
Daytona Beach, Fla. (Dec. 2, 2013) — NASCAR Digital Media entered uncharted territory on Jan. 3, 2013, when it flipped the switch on a brand new digital experience and suite of mobile apps. Now, nearly 11 months and a full NASCAR® racing season later, the new digital platform is registering an 11 percent year-over-year increase in monthly unique visitors, highlighted by the platform's mobile capabilities.
"NASCAR has made a concerted effort to leverage technology in everything we do in an attempt to enhance competition and bring fans closer to the sport they love," said Marc Jenkins, vice president of NASCAR Digital Media. "We designed and built our new digital platform with this in mind, utilizing cutting-edge technology to enhance the user experience and maximize engagement. In just one year, the numbers reflect that NASCAR's digital platform has become a destination our fans are able to enjoy regardless of where they are and what device they are using."
Furthermore, NASCAR Digital Media's two new mobile apps, NASCAR Mobile '13 and NASCAR RaceView™ Mobile '13, saw a total of 2.4 million downloads worldwide.
Through its first full season, the new digital platform also boasts:
With the 2013 season now in the rearview mirror, NASCAR Digital Media has shifted its focus to finding new ways to enhance and optimize the digital platform for 2014.
"One of our primary goals in year one was to maximize the fan experience throughout the race weekend, and we believe we made significant strides toward that in 2013," Jenkins said. "Moving forward, we'll be sharpening our focus on how to further engage and more deeply interact with fans, as well as make content easier to find during the week."
NASCAR.com has already been fitted with a new navigation bar, which houses top news, videos and race information all in one place, allowing fans to more easily find the content they are looking for.
The News and Media section, located just below the fold on the homepage, will also undergo major changes this offseason. Changes will include a reorganization and reprioritization of the latest and most popular news, stories, social media information, race highlights and short-form video features. In addition to a cleaner look, News and Media will group content vertically by sections. Once re-launched, this highly-trafficked section will feature a more user-friendly design for easier navigability, allowing for deeper engagement of the very best NASCAR content.
Other changes coming before 2014 Speedweeks® include an enhanced 'hero' (main image and accompanying story link on the homepage), appointment viewing of original content, better interactivity between stories and video and new versions of both mobile apps.
The 2014 NASCAR season officially gets underway with the 56th annual Daytona 500® on Sunday, Feb. 23 at Daytona International Speedway. The Great American Race® will air live on FOX, Motor Racing Network Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio™, with additional coverage on NASCAR.com.
