AT THE NORMATIVE HEART OF FEMINISM lies the belief that nobody should be disadvantaged because of their sex. Here I propose, and defend, a principle of gender justice meant to capture the nature of a very wide range of injustices based on gender. (1) In a nutshell, the principle says that, in a gender just world, a gender-neutral lifestyle would be the least costly option for both women and men. Gendered lifestyles need not be ruled out, but should not be achievable at lower costs than a gender-neutral lifestyle. This principle is grounded in the values at the core of liberal egalitarian justice: equality of access and the good of individual choice.
Because the principle is meant to explain the injustice of a very wide range of phenomena, the sense of "costs" is similarly wide. Such costs can be material--for example financial, time or effort--psychological--self-respect, a good relationship with one's body and emotions--and social--such as reputation, social acceptance and valuable social relationships. (2)
I illustrate my proposal by discussing the injustice involved in the gendered division of labor, which is one of the most important, yet philosophically disputed, gender issues in the developed world. Some liberal egalitarians contest that a freely chosen gendered division of labor is unjust. (3) Others believe that in order to know whether particular outcomes are gender just we need to pay attention to the context of people's choices, to the processes of preference formation and to the cumulative effects of particular choices. Some of the latter even doubt that liberal egalitarianism has the theoretical resources to recognize the gendered nature of the gendered division of labor. (4) I argue that it does.
The gendered division of labor is also at the core of a long-lasting debate about two different models of change, embodied by different strands of feminism. Here is a crude picture. The first model, centered on equality between women and men, consists in empowering women to enjoy all the "good things of life" that men have traditionally enjoyed. The second model, centered on "difference," consists in discovering, explaining and enhancing the value of what has long been deemed "women's lifestyles." Traditionally, women have been associated with the spheres of the family, close relationships, domestic work and with the individual virtues believed (5) to make life in these spheres as good as it can get. Men have been associated with the complementary spheres of politics and commerce and their respective virtues.
Since "feminine" as well as "masculine" functional spheres are necessary for individual survival and social reproduction, (6) both emancipatory models proposed by the two different strands of feminism have run into major difficulties. If women and men are to have an equal share of the good things in life by merely opening men's lifestyles to women, the question is: Who will do what it takes to maintain the spheres of family, close relationships and domestic work? Feminists who advocate "masculine" lifestyles for women have been criticized as compromising the quest for equality by relegating "feminine" work to the often-exploited women whose poverty, race or immigrant status pushes them to the margins of society. (7) The alternative possibility, that the entire "feminine domain" be outsourced, looks unappealing to most, and possibly not even coherent. (8) The second solution to gender justice, that is, making women and men equally well off by giving more recognition and economic support to "feminine lifestyles," was criticized for entrenching the gendered division of labor and therefore curtailing women's access to "masculine" lifestyles. (9)
These solutions sacrifice either equality between women belonging to different classes/races/national groups, or women's substantive freedom to choose nontraditional lifestyles. Such sacrifices could be avoided if women and men were to voluntarily share paid and domestic work and their benefits. To some extent this has been happening for several decades, under a combination of pressure coming from markets and individual preferences alike. But women and men are still far from sharing all types of work and benefits equally, and sometimes women themselves seem to prefer the status quo. The question of what a gender-just world would look like is still as yet unanswered: How should women and men share the burdens and benefits of social cooperation, and why? Should we strive to accommodate all individual preferences concerning gendered lifestyles equally, and at what costs? And if all preferences cannot all be equally accommodated, which should be given priority and on what grounds? There is still a lack of normative agreement with respect to these questions. In the '60s and the '70s, feminists nourished the hope that men would engage as equal partners in domestic work, and the disappointment that this has not happened sufficiently has labeled feminism a "stalled revolution." (10)
on the one hand, a new wave of academics from various disciplines seeks to legitimize individuals' gendered preferences and a society able to accommodate these preferences equally. (11) On the other hand, for almost two decades feminists such as Nancy Fraser have been advocating a universal caregiver model whereby women and men would share equally the paid work and the caregiving, (12) a model fleshed out in the work of Janet Gornick and Marcia Meyers. (13) More recently, Ingrid Robeyns has argued that society will be gender just only when women's and men's capability sets, constraints on choice and resulting benefits are the same (allowing for inequalities resulting from sexual difference). (14) This paper shows why the gist of the latter proposals is correct. (15)
Central to my project is the idea, for which I argue below, that gender norms oppress both women and men, and they would do so even if they were to leave men and women equally well off overall. This claim need not lead to paradoxical consequences because it is possible that, in fact, gender norms oppress women more than men, leaving the latter net winners. Nevertheless, if my argument is correct, in a gender-unjust world both women and men suffer injustice. (16) As well as identifying injustice, the approach I suggest could therefore also provide everybody with some motivation for change.
I work with the classical distinction between sex and gender, with sex referring to biological features (chromosomes, sex organs, hormones and other physical features) and gender representing the social meanings associated with sex. (17) Because sex and gender map onto each other--albeit imperfectly--and because, as I argue below, gender norms are a source of injustice, I am framing the problem in terms of gender (in)justice. (18)
The next section explores the scope of gender injustices, moving from the less toward the more controversial cases. The third section introduces a principle of gender justice, which subsequent sections explain, justify and illustrate.
The Scope of Gender Injustice
It is hard to dispute that women and men are equally entitled to just treatment and that, when someone suffers injustice because of their sex, they are a victim of gender injustice. But the exact definition of gender injustice and therefore the scope of gender injustice are contentious matters.
Some forms of gender injustice are easy to identify. In many countries some kinds of violence against women are particularly high, often women receive lower pay than men for the same work and in some countries women still do not have legal rights equal to those that men hold. It is not difficult to see the problem in these cases. Widely endorsed conceptions of liberal egalitarian justice uphold people's moral rights to dignified treatment and physical integrity, to equal compensation for equal work and to equality in front of the law. If those directly responsible for the above injustices are partly motivated by hatred or prejudice against women, the victims of violence and discrimination do not just happen to be women--rather, they become victims of injustice because they are women. Hence, these examples are clear illustrations of gender injustice.
other cases are a bit more difficult to describe as gender injustice or, indeed, as injustice full stop. Take, for example, women's "second shift." Significant numbers of women worldwide simultaneously hold full-time jobs and do most of the work that goes into maintaining households, raising children and caring for disabled or elderly family members. They are clearly shouldering more than their male partners. (19) Even worse, in case of divorce, women who used to be full-time homemakers and caregivers often find it hard to enter, or reenter, the labor market, and are much more likely than their former partners to fall into poverty--especially when they have children. (20) But these women seem to owe their situation to voluntary choices: neither laws, nor physical coercion, nor, strictly speaking, a lack of alternatives, forces them to take on double shifts (since it is possible to live without a male partner and without dependents, or to go on strike with respect to all but the most urgent care tasks). Moreover, some women say they enjoy being able to discharge several social roles successfully. Why are they then subject to gender injustice? one way to explain why is by assuming that people become double shifters as a result of adapting their preferences to fit gender norms and to avoid other types of hardship. Women have traditionally been, and still are, expected to meet the material and psychological needs of their nearest and dearest; and leading a solitary life, or going on strike, can be emotionally very costly (21) for most people. When alternatives are very undesirable, we often adapt our preferences to the status quo in order to make our circumstances more bearable. Action guided by adaptive preferences,...

On a happier note I went to the Washougal National last weekend and what a freaking blast, I cant believe how fast those guys are its absolutely insane. I have ridden the track and usually am dying after one lap or so due to arm pump. But those guys hammer it for 30 minutes. It was interesting to the Cannondale and the ktm in line up, several yamaha 4 strokes, but since Jimmy Buttons out we are not that well represented. Of course Carmichael was ripping, but did notice David Pingree in 125 has some very interesting/aggressive lines, although he was back in the pack. Also Vulliemen has a diff riding style, he stays real low and sits back real far. I wont spoil the outcome for those waiting for the espn air time.
So how did the Cannondale finish ?....And how did he look and sound ?
K-Dub at Washougal - sick!!!!
[This message has been edited by Heywood (edited 08-04-2000).]
Team Oatmeal Pie,
Did you notice the two Cannondale's dropping out mid way through second moto? #81 (red) and #375 (blue) both got much better starts (I'd guess around 15th and 18th). However I'm sure that neither finished that moto. Nothing as to why on Cannondale's web site.
If I had to speculate, I'd say they were turning a few more RPM's than the YZF's in the same track sections. Sounded like it to me anyway.
How about Pastrana pulling the wheelie clear through the whoop section on his moto win?
Looking forward to watching Pastrana and Carmichael at Millville next weekend! Did Yamaha have any of it's 2001 YZF'S at Washougal?
First moto the cannondale was way back in the pack very close to last. 2nd moto somewhere around the middle, the bike looks very interesting, and sounds like big blue. I couldnt get a pit pass but would have liked to inspect the bike. Very interesting gentlemen, I like the idea of an american made motocross bike.

For whatever reason, this has to be my favorite Law and Order ever. I love the characters such as Benson and absolutely miss Stabler. The characters just form a bond and give off a heart pulling feeling that compels you and their efforts to help just makes a person feel good inside about terrible situations and it's also fun to follow along and try to solve the cases as well
If I could, I would give this 20 stars! I've been a junkie of the Law & Order franchise. LOSUV has powerful storylines and I feel that I really know the main characters. Even the guest stars fit in so well with the cast. And transition between main cast members is seamless. I often find my self watching reruns from the first few years. This is one of the best ever TV dramas.
My favorite show since 2006! I love to watch Benson and the guys! Also we can truly learn a lot about law with this show! Most of my knowledge about the subject came from it!
You can always watch it separately cause 90% of the episodes are independent but you can also watch chronologicaly. That way you'll learn a lot about the drama behind the main character! Wonderful show!

This is by far one of my favorite TV shows. It gives a great look into the tough work of an SVU detective and shows how controversial and difficult these types of cases are. Great actors, great acting....I would definitely recommend this. Because of the nature of the crimes investigated in these episodes, it may not fit for young children or people sensitive to these issues.
Love this show! One of my favorites!! My mom and I will sit and watch reruns every chance we get!! Even if I've seen an episode, I still enjoy it. I'm not the biggest fan of all the personal plots, I would much rather focus on the case(s) at hand. I do enjoy a sprinkle of personal plots but in my opinion I feel like there have been way more than a sprinkle in recent seasons.
I love all of their shows. I watch them all the time. The actors are great, my favorite actor is Olivia Benson played by Mariska Hargitay. My family thinks i watch it too much since i want to become a forensic pathologist. And i can admit i do watch to much of it i have watched all the newer episodes so I'm trying to go back and watch from season one and watch a show a day.
Amazing show and cast, I have been watching since season 1. they have developed the characters well. I love that the show grows with the cast. while the cast has changed over the years the quality of the show has not. If you are not watching you are missing out. They touch on real life subjects that some are to scared to talk about. I love this and recommend it to everyone.
Addicted to this show. You can find it on at almost anytime of the day. It is addicting and makes you think of what could or is going on in the world that sometimes we don't think about. Olivia is a great character on the show and you will instantly be hooked after watching a couple episodes! Always keeps you on the edge of your seat! I could binge watch episodes for hours!
I really love this show is really realistic it shows problems that are happening in today's age it makes you look at certain things in a different way. Sometimes outcome is not what you expected it to be in the beginning and it makes you look at your life and look at stuff and realize and realize that everything is not going to happen the way you think it's going to happen.
This is one of my all-time favorite shows since it first came out! I am giving it one less star because I do not care for the most recent seasons. I liked the beginning seasons so much because you didn't need to watch them in order; you could just pick one and watch. The episodes/seasons now are too much drama and storyline of the characters and less about the crime story.
Who else is sad Stabler left the show?
Who's your favorite detective, past or present?
Have you been watching the show since Stabler's departure?
Who is your favorite A.D.A? I personally like Casey Novak the best. I love her sass and smarts.
Does anybody else miss stabler and hate olivia's new partner?

The world we want to experience is where everyone leads with integrity and embraces living in possibility. Where anything is possible.
Where everyone sees their own gifts and finds ways to use them for the greater good. We want to see our best selves.
Extending improved seeds in Ghana and the rest of Africa. This is certainly a significant and complex challenge. Part of the issue is that to produce quality seeds sustainably, you need a commercial farming environment. As Filed researcher of seeds, most production remains primarily for subsistence purposes, which means that farmers very often do not have the cash to pay for inputs such as quality seed and fertiliser.
This problem is even greater still on vegetatively propagated crops such as sweet potato and cassava.
However, there is a significant community Ecosythem workers, researchers and the institutions in which they work that are aiming to promote income generating prospects for traditionally subsistence crops, and through that to enhance the prospects of establishing a sustainable and effective seed industry that will serve the needs of growers and lead to significant improvements in the efficiency of production.
My experience is mainly on cassava in East Africa, and here we are trying to take a value chain approach to improving the productivity and commercial value of cassava. In practice, this means on developing and promoting cassava-based products (such as chips, high quality cassava flour, starch and others), improving the efficiency of marketing and markets, and addressing the major (and they are MAJOR) pest and disease constraints. With these kinds of activities going on, we are also simultaneously establishing clean (virus-free) stocks of planting material of newly-released and farmer-preferred varieties, and working with small-scale cassava entrepreneurs to set up seed production and distribution businesses. As farmers get improved commercial opportunities for their cassava crops and processed products, so the chances of them accessing and purchasing improved seeds (and other inputs) should increase. It's early days, but there is much promise for major development along these lines in the next decade or so. And all of this, without even a mention of any crop modification, other than the usual conventional breeding that continues to deliver successful outcomes for increased productivity, drought tolerance and pest/disease resistance.

Hear me Gambia and Africa!!

Peace & Security
First and fore most God our creator is very interested in the welfare of his children. Politicians must not pretend they have the people at heart more than the creator of the universe.
He says in Jeremiah 29: 11 For i know the plans i have for you, says the Lord, plans of welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.(RVS)
Do you believe this? well, that is reality. Let those aspiring for power and control get some new education. No political party or politician is worth dying for because the welfare, the future and the hope of Africa ultimately do not lie in their hands but in the hands of God. They must realize that thy're only stewards or managers of the resources of the state.
Public office is not the avenue for theft and illegitimate wealth creation as some have demonstrated across Africa. It's about selfless service to your nation and people. It's an oath you make to God and man to be upright and diligent in managing the resources efficiently and effectively for maximum national benefit. Understanding this basic spiritual principle is the most important foundation to lay down before embarking on seeking the mandate of the people through peaceful elections.
Why and how must we ensure peaceful elections in Ghana and Africa in general?
We must ensure peaceful elections because Peace is God's idea and forms the basis for national development. Peace secures the future and destinies of nations. Peace builds unity and togetherness. The opposite is true. Disruptive elections destroys lives and properties. Disruptive elections impoverishes not just a people, but many generations to come. It leads to an uncertain future for the children and the youth. Trained and productive human capital is lost and many more setbacks ensued.
How can we ensure peaceful elections?
Peaceful elections is not dependent on just one group alone working to ensure peace but a multiplicity of bodies, structures and individuals working diligently to ensure a peaceful process before, during and after the elections. However, it will take the action or inaction of just one body, group or individual to disrupt the process.
Ensuring peaceful elections is hard-work.
As a famous political thinker says.
…. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." —Thomas Paine, 1777.

Mistreatment of Models is Fashion's Groundhog Day
Rather than thinking of models as skinny mean girls, we should recognise how badly they are treated within their own industryI have been reading a lot recently about how models are treated really badly. I thought this had been sorted out ages ago.
Boina and Fernandes have firmly denied these claims, although models Judith Schiltz and Mollie Gondi posted comments on Scully's post verifying some of his accusations. Balenciaga has said that they are no longer working with Boina and Fernandes and apologised to modelling agencies, but Gondi wrote, "The apology to the agencies from the fashion house is laughable because the agents have known this for years and don't think twice because they want their girl in the show."
Meanwhile, in Australia, a news programme screened last week in which one model, Victoire Dauxerre, was asked if she thought a woman could be a successful model without having an eating disorder. "No," she replied.

Corrado Bonifazi
Amsterdam University Press, 2008 - Social Science - 342 pages
Over the past twenty years, international migration issues become inescapably prominent in European public debate. Issues about the arrival of new immigrants and the problems of integration processes are rooted in the deep and vast changes that have characterized the recent history of European international migration. This volume addresses aspects of this migration through a variety of disciplinary perspectives, devoting particular attention to new forms of migration, the evolution of regional patterns, and the intergenerational process of migrant integration.

OK, so just what is Mastery? Some would tell us that Mastery is facing up to adversity and overcoming obstacles to reach a deep understanding of what you are doing. But it takes Grit and Resiliency to do this. Let's talk a little about Grit. Its something more than resiliency because it is in the here and now. It is what it takes to keep going when it doesn't seem worth it. It is deciding what you want. It is having the "guts" to just do it.
Grit requires that you don't buy into the "carrot and stick" approach but are willing to, not only decide what that you will do something, but then to do it, no matter how hard it is.
Always ask yourself "How can I be better?" will give you the platform to start but grit and resiliency will be necessary to plan the goals and complete them.
So how do you get grit in your life and really master what you are doing?
- First you acknowledge that grit is necessary to do anything worthwhile.
- Next you calculate how much grit you have right now for getting things done.
- After that you take a small task that you don't really want to do.
- You practice your grit until that task is completed.
- You never stop. You intensely focus on the outcome.
- Usually the bigger the step or task, the more grit you need.
- Decide what you will do to renew your grit as it gets drained before that happens
With excelling in Grit, You will create Mastery in whatever you decide to do. So today, pick out one thing in your life that will take some Grit to accomplish. It may be cleaning out your office or leaning a new language or developing a new marketing plan. If any of these sound like they are just too big, too boring or too scarey, start immediately on that one and really test your grit.

By 1967, though, Cash managed to overcome his addiction with the help of his singing partner June Carter and her family. In 1968, he and Carter were married and his career experienced a renaissance. Throughout the remainder of the decade and into the 1970s, Cash was at the top of his game. A pair of live recordings made at Folsom Prison and San Quentin both went gold and a passel of awards followed including the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist awards in 1969.
The final payoff though, was a network television spot. Premiering in 1969, The Johnny Cash Show aired on ABC. Taped at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, the show featured an eclectic mix of guests ranging from Bob Dylan and Neil Young to Louis Armstrong and Merle Haggard. Through his selection of guests, Cash helped bridge the generation gap and break down musical barriers. He also used the show as a forum to discuss and raise the country's collective consciousness about social issues of the day such as the plight of the Native Americans, prison reform and the conflict in Vietnam. The show ceased production in 1971, but Cash continued to host numerous specials for several years.
In 1980, at the age of 48, Johnny Cash became the youngest living inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bestowed its honor on him in 1995, thus making him one of a handful of country artists in both organizations.

WannaCry: What is ransomware and how to avoid it
What you need to know about 'WannaCry', the malicious software behind Friday's worldwide hacking attack. Malicious software or "ransomware" has been used in a massive hacking attack, affecting tens of thousands of computers worldwide. Software security companies said a ransomware worm called "WannaCry" infected about 57,000 computer systems in 99 countries on Friday, with Russia, Ukraine, and Taiwan being the top targets. The hack forced British hospitals to turn away patients, affected Spanish companies such as Telefonica, and threw other government agencies and businesses into chaos.Continue Reading http://www.aljazeera.com
Here is what you need to know about the software behind the global cyber-attack.
How it works:
WannaCry is a form of ransomware that locks up files on your computer and encrypts them in a way that you cannot access them anymore.
It targets Microsoft's widely used Windows operating system.
When a system is infected, a pop-up window appears with instructions on how to pay a ransom amount of $300.
The pop-up also features two countdown clocks; one showing a three-day deadline before the ransom amount doubles to $600; another showing a deadline of when the target will lose its data forever.
Payment is only accepted in bitcoin.
The ransomware's name is WCry, but analysts are also using variants such as WannaCry.
A hacking group called Shadow Brokers released the malware in April claiming to have discovered the flaw from the US' National Security Agency (NSA), according cyber-security providers.

Manipulations and contests
Jun 12, 2011
Just throwing this out for discussion.
Some photo contests will not except photos that are adjusted beyond e.g. "removing dust, cropping, adjusting color and contrast" and these only minimally. Removal of things (i.e. branches in front of birds) or changes in background are not allowed. Composites are out. In general, anything not originally in the viewfinder is taboo except as noted. There are two contests that I know of running now that have these restrictions - Audubon and NatGeo.
People in this forum I assume have access to software capable of many adjustments that can greatly enhance photos. It's irritating that we are excluded from these contests.

Learn about Francis Howell School District theology courses online, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Francis Howell School District clinical psychology information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Francis Howell School District.
To keep your GPA as high as possible, study the schedule of classes carefully, and note the add/drop deadlines, as well as the requirements for changing a grade. If you get an incomplete, or worse a low grade, you can still retake the class, as some schools allow you to average the two grades on your final transcript. Challenge yourself by taking some courses outside your major to fulfill breadth requirements.
By purchasing lecture notes from a reputable source such as the student union, you can save time by not taking notes in class, and concentrate on paying better attention. You also can audit courses that you're interested in, but would prefer to skip exams and just listen in. Beyond consideration for Francis Howell School District theology courses online, you may think about McDowell Tech ACT composite for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Ah, you have kingston Ram too, Kingston said they have an issue with Asus boards. Check the revision number on the ram chips, You want the xxxx.6 version

Go back to basics to see if it will work at base level. Motherboard, one memory module, a basic pci video card if you have access to one, power supply. No HDD, no CDRW. Use a DOS boot, W95, @98, or WME boot floppy if you can get one. See if it starts. IF it does, add one component at a time, and try it again. If not, take a close look at how the fundamental set is seated. Look for bent pin on the processor. Look for memory not completely aligned or seated. Then get on the phone with ASUS tech support and Good Luck, because ASUS tech support is terrible these days. If it works in fundamental setup, add the ATI radeon. If that works, add the HDD. I suspect the ATI card or one of the memory modules. When you narrow it down, your anxiety level drops and you can begin to make better sense of what has gon rong.

Chandler's (1976, p. 383) proposition that structure follows strategy has been an important starting point for research on the relation of behavioural factors and organizational structure. Recently, Fisch (2001) expanded this and proposed that structure follows knowledge as well, as is evident in the increasing number of knowledge-related publications on organization design. While Chandlers perspective was on the whole firm, and Fisch studied R&D structures of multinational corporations, the focus in this paper, while following the same idea of fitting the tool to the task, is on a smaller scale, on the individual project team as an organizational structure, and how this structure might benefit from being adapted to the knowledge it is supposed to contain. Knowledge, as will be discussed, can be defined as purpose-related and connected information within an individual. The structuring and management of successful knowledge transfer into the organization, within the organization, and out of the organization are vital activities of the innovative firm. These activities, if concerned with knowledge for the design and production of new products, are an integral part of the innovation management of the firm. To facilitate transfer and prevent difficult interactions or even project failure, a transfer activity should take into account the characteristics of the knowledge which is to be transferred. Certain knowledge characteristics are assumed to have an effect on the project management and the coordination of knowledge transfer. If these characteristics are to be considered when designing a project structure and assembling a project team, they have to be made measurable. The application of such a measurement would allow the design of a project structure which would fit to the existing knowledge characteristics and thus make a successful transfer more likely (see Gerybadze's (2004) suggestions). In this paper, a first field test of such an instrument is presented.

And tour the Hawke's Bay band has in the past year, all over the North Island, with plans to break into the South Island music scene in 2012. . Last year was really busy for us and we got our music out to Wellington, Palmerston North and Auckland in par- ticular,'' Ferguson said. Because audiences kept asking us if we had any recordings, we also found time to make a four-track EP, so that people can take our music home.'' Formed just over 18 months ago, Ninja Monkey began life as a bunch of guys jamming in a garage'', deciding to find a name and take the music to the world when Ferguson joined the band. Some people have said to me that it must have taken a girl to get them off the ground . . . but the boys have a huge amount of talent and I really think they would have gone far without me, any- way.'' It was a foregone conclusion that Fer- guson would choose a musical path, with an opera-singing mum and a dad who was lead soprano in the New Zealand Boys' Choir in his youth. Their home was filled with music and, when her dad left the army and her mum became an ordained priest, Ferguson picked up a bass guitar to play in the church band -- swapping army brat'' status for clergy brat''. Mum needed instrumentalists and everyone wanted to play guitar. So I gave bass a go and love it, although playing in Ninja Monkey is a little different to playing in a church set- ting.'' Ninja Monkey play what Ferguson calls pop/rock and says their music had evolved since they first began playing. Our early stuff was quite 80s-sounding -- almost hair metal with lots of shred guitar, but now we play what I like to call angry-girl music'. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely not man-hating -- it's quite heavy and it feels good playing it. The feedback we've had has been really good and the music defi- nitely gets people up to dance.'' Ferguson and her bandmates -- Owen Vickers (lead guitar, vocals), Ben McKin- lay (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Paul Sunley (drums) are looking forward to seeing Supermodel live.

Are the world's private equity firms going through a midlife crisis?
They've spent decades getting fat taking measured financial risks on companies the rest of the market was underestimating. Now that buccaneering spirit looks to be tipping over into recklessness.
KKR has offered to buy the founding family's 60 percent stake in Japanese airbag-maker Takata, the Nikkei newspaper reported Thursday. TPG, alongside Takeda Pharmaceutical, approached Valeant with a bid earlier this year that was rejected, the Wall Street Journal reported the same day.
What both these mooted deals have in common is a fat tail of potential legal liabilities that plays a large part in the targets' cheap valuations.
From a certain angle, Takata looks like a steal. It's one of just a handful of large industrial companies globally trading at less than a third of book value. In a worst-case scenario, a buyer could spend 39 billion yen ($355 million) to acquire the company at a 10 percent premium to market value, liquidate all its assets to pay off liabilities, and walk away with a cool 221 percent return from swallowing the 125 billion yen of net assets on its balance sheet .
A similar argument can be made for Valeant. The Journal's story says the approach was made a month or two ago, and that Takeda wanted to buy Valeant's Salix digestive-disorders business, with TPG taking most of the rest. Valeant's market value has been hovering in the region of $10 billion since late March, a year after the company paid $13 billion to acquire Salix.
If TPG bought Valeant at the market price, it could let Takeda have the diarrhea pills at a 25 percent discount to what they were valued at a year ago. That would leave it with a business that was worth as much as $88 billion in July, more or less for free.
The trouble is that the balance sheet doesn't tell the whole story for these companies.
The 43 billion yen Takata has set aside to cover the cost of recalling 69 million potentially fatal faulty airbags is unlikely to be enough. Jefferies estimates it may cost $11.5 billion, and Takata has a worst-case internal estimate of $24 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. That's before we get into the battery of class action suits filed against the company in Florida, Hawaii, and Canada.
Valeant has similar issues. Whether or not the arguments of short sellers are accepted, the company is clearly on the receiving end of an awful lot of scrutiny by U.S. and Canadian legal authorities:
Those probes may come to nothing -- SEC investigations are so routine these days that they amount to little more than a cost of doing business. But it they come to something, it's very hard to know how much they're going to cost or what damage they would do to Valeant's business.
A bid for either company isn't a complete leap in the dark. Private equity investors pride themselves on being able to spot the opportunity no one else has noticed, so it's always possible for a buyer to decide that the market is overestimating the legal risk attached to a company.
Private equity funds have raised record amounts for investments in Asia and continue to sit on plenty of dry powder, heightening the incentive to make big bets. KKR is considering raising a record $9 billion for its third Asia-focused buyout fund.
The firm co-founded by Henry Kravis and George Roberts previously got handsome returns buying stakes in Chinese agricultural companies while tainted-food scandals were causing other investors to shy away. Both KKR and TPG made bids for Australia's Treasury Wine Estates in 2014, at a time when four of the company's most senior managers had quit and equity analysts were accusing the winemaker of channel-stuffing, a fraudulent retail practice.
But if you're taking on significant leverage for an investment, it helps to know what you're getting into. Credit, currency and market risks can be calculated and priced with some confidence, but the risks that may arise from legal or regulatory action are notoriously opaque. Private equity shops are much safer dealing with known knowns, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, rather than the known unknowns that loom over Takata and Valeant.
This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Bloomberg LP and its owners.
This relies on the (uncertain) assumption that the company's assets could be sold for the value at which they are recorded in the balance sheet.

Here are 5 things that successful leaders know about leadership that make us want to follow them:
Continue reading → 5 Things Successful Leaders Know That Make Us Want To Follow Them
Moral outrage and vehement, yet peaceful, disagreement are necessary and legitimate responses to anyone or anything that goes against the morals and values of a civilized world. What we must be mindful of is not allowing our fight against injustice to mirror the energy and behavior of that with which we disagree. If we do, we inadvertently give what we don't want MORE momentum.
The most effective and memorable leaders have risen powerfully against what is unjust while personally demonstrating civility and respect for humanity. This is what shifts the momentum to what is good and just.
The characteristics of such leaders include being:
· Principled vs self-righteous
· Definitive vs equivocal
· Passionate vs violent
The minute we fall into the same patterns of incivility in our protests against the lack of civility, we have lost our power to influence change and we have inadvertently fueled the momentum of the very thing we despise.
"Hatred and fear blind us. We no longer see each other. We only see the faces of monsters, and that gives us the courage to destroy each other. Thich Nhat Hanh
Perhaps the greatest challenge of leadership is in managing our own emotional reactions to violations of human values. But when we can do so, we are able to seize the opportunity and respond intentionally with our thoughts, words and actions. Leading by example for what we stand for and what we are unwilling to compromise on, even when provoked, has great power. It teaches and empowers others to do the same, and most important, it disempowers opposing forces.
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." Helen Keller
Let us take inspiration from and stand with the great leaders, famous and not famous, who have come before us and to those we see modeling leadership character today. The best way to show our gratitude for their brave actions that have made our world better is to do our part every day. It is not necessary to play on a huge stage. It is only necessary that we use our every word and action to demonstrate our uncompromising devotion to a world where love prevails and where the universal operating system upon which we exist is based on the dignity of all humanity.

The one crippling behavior that will cause you failure in leadership and in life, (and by life, I mean as a partner, a parent, a friend etc.) is the lack of empathy.
Empathy, which is a cornerstone of emotional intelligence, specifically social awareness, is often misunderstood as sharing other people's emotions and concerns and caring deeply about them. That innate caring and concern is more representative of compassion.

90% of the problems that leaders face, and their subsequent solutions, are ambiguous, according to a study done by Korn Ferry/Lominger. To deal with this ambiguity requires spaciousness in thinking and being. It is not about always having the answer and proving to be the smartest person in the room. Rather, it requires having humility and respect for the responsibility of creating an environment where people can learn to think, innovate and problem solve successfully while navigating through the unknown.

Einstein believed that God's thoughts were accessible and that he could hear them if he got himself into a certain state of mind, the mind of imagination.

From Interview To Conversation
I've been doing quite a bit of career coaching in the last three years, particularly working with people on developing their professional brand and their go-to market strategy.
When I coach my clients on how to be their best in interviews the intention is to transform the interview into a conversation. A conversation is when people, either one-on-one or in the case of panel interviews one-on-many, show up on equal ground to talk about problems that need to be solved, skills required and potential partnerships/opportunities to be had.

For 25 years my husband has been teasing me about my inability to take a decent nap. He can take a nap anywhere, anytime. The usual scenario for us is that we lie down and within two minutes he is sound asleep and snoring. Within five minutes I am twitching with restlessness. Within six minutes my mind has turned into a roller coaster of thoughts about what I should be doing, what I have forgotten to do, what I am worried about doing or not doing and a thousand "what ifs" that torture me unmercifully. In the meantime my husbands slumber continues and the deeper his innocent and effortless sleep goes the more agitated I get. Not just because he is right, I can't take a decent nap, but because I want to and I haven't been able to figure out why I can't!

(This may look familiar to some of you. I was recently asked to repost this blog from 2012)
I broadened my practice two years ago to include coaching young professionals. It has opened my eyes and invigorated me in ways I never dreamed.
Most of you know that I am a self-described human potential junkie. I am possessed when it comes to wanting to support individuals and organizations in developing leadership capability. And I have to be candid, this passion collides head-on with how I see the media disrespecting this generation and writing about them with such gloom and doom. After complaining about it to anyone who would listen, I finally realized I had to put up or shut up. That is when I started coaching millennials and I am more excited about the leadership future of this world than I have been in a very long time.

Microsoft's Swiss army knife of a laptop is getting an upgrade. A refreshed Surface Book was unveiled this week with beefier graphics capabilities and longer battery life. This isn't quite the Surface Book 2, though, so don't expect any major new features or design changes. It will be available Nov. 10 starting at $2,399 and is up for preorder now.
Since it first launched last year, the Surface Book has been an intriguing work machine because of its versatility. The system includes a 13.5-inch touch display that pops off of the included keyboard dock when you want to use it as a stand-alone tablet. That's nice for sketching or taking notes with the included Surface Pen stylus. Meanwhile, the dock has a discrete GPU, which boosts the tablet's graphical power when it's attached. That's great for graphically intensive tasks such as 3D modeling and CAD work.
The refreshed Surface Book is even more powerful, with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M GPU in the base (which Microsoft calls the Performance Base) that Microsoft claims offers double the graphics performance over last year's model. The old model had a GTX 940M GPU. In addition, the new model only runs on the latest Core i7 processors, which will give it a boost during typical multitasking.
Plus, Microsoft managed to cram a bigger battery into this iteration of the Surface Book, which the company claims will net you up to 16 hours of battery life. We believe it, too; the original actually surpassed Microsoft's claim of 12 hours of battery life on our in-house battery test (continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi), running for an epic 12.5 hours.
It's a bit less portable than before, though. It weighs in at 3.63 lbs., which is slightly heftier than the original 3.48-lb. model. That's still light enough for a daily commute, and the slight weight increase is a small price to pay for the extra power and longevity.
The updated Surface Book will be available with 256GB, 512GB and 1TB storage configurations for $2,399, $2,799 and $3,299 respectively. That's up from the original 128GB with Intel Core i5 that starts at $1,499 and is still for sale. Both come pre-loaded with Microsoft's Windows 10 Pro and a 30-day trial of Office 365.

TAS Country : March 24th 2011
Friday, March 25, 2011 Tasmanian Country 5 News FULL STEAM AHEAD: Veronica Dean drives a tractor as harvest gets into full swing. HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE: Ian Edwards in the family's hop vines at Branxholm. Pictures: KAROLIN MacGREGOR TASTY: Sheep enjoy the hop harvest. Mr Edwards said that, on average, hops yielded about 1200kg an acre. The Edwards family grow two main hop varieties. Unlike many other crops, hops do not need to be replanted each year. Mr Edwards said they had hops that had been continually producing every year for more than three decades. Each year new strings are added to the wire lines above each row of hops in the paddocks. ''You've got a lot of infrastructure sitting out there in the paddocks,'' Mr Edwards said. ''A lot of this only gets used for three weeks a year, but there's no way around it.'' He said these days producers were paid according to the amount of alpha acids in the hops. ''That's why we try to keep the quality up because that's what we're actually getting paid for,'' Mr Edwards said. ''We do a bit of pre-harvest testing to make sure it's right and they're matur- ing OK before we start.'' Hops had a small harvest window time when their quality was at the correct levels, he said. Mr Edwards said while it made things unpleasant for the harvest wor- kers, rain at this stage would not affect the crop. Tasmania has just a small number of hop-growing operations left, but Mr Edwards said in other countries it was a huge industry. ''In Germany they had 5000 acres of hops wiped out with hail and it didn't even change the price,'' he said. The Edwards' hops are sold through a mainland-based company. ''If we can get a reasonable price we like to try and get it for three or four years because that way we know what's happening,'' he said. $34,950* SAVE $3,350 OFF RRP $19,950* SAVE $2,450 OFF RRP 6 PIECE PACKAGE INCLUDES NEW AGMAX 4-in-1 Front End Loader, SWL 300kg NEW AGMAX 3'6" Slasher NEW AGMAX 3'6" Rotary Hoe NEW AGMAX 4' Carryall NEW AGMAX Towbar & Ball 6 4 PIECE PACKAGE INCLUDES NEW APOLLO Sunroof NEW APOLLO X60 4-in-1 Front End Loader, SWL 1200kg NEW APOLLO X60 Pallet & Bale Fork Combo Need more power?
