Here is a wonderful example of the customer fighting back (over 6 million views of the original video).
I am a bit of a guitar geek. Good guitars cost several thousand pounds and have tremendous sentimental value. So if they are mishandled you get a little up tight.
United (and many other companies) just don't seem to get how poor customer service can make us wild with anger. And then they respond 'with too little too late'.
(And the song's not bad either.)
see the video below
and of course there's a public statement from Dave Carroll
who got some kind of 'result' because United did make a reply.

The Challenge
You are given an egg, paper, a pair of scissors and tape. Your task is simple, drop this egg from a given height and 'save the egg' from breaking. Sounds quite challenging right? You might even say its impossible.
Where do you start? Can it even be done? How's about we just make an omelet and forget about the impossible.
The result
We assigned this task to a group of Akili Dada Club members and we were amazed as 90% of the groups did 'save the egg'.
How did they do it? Simple applying their critical thinking skills. Yes Critical thinking.
It's one of those buzzwords that we all love to hear and as such throw around as we talk about leadership. Some say it's a 21st century skill that all leaders must possess, others say it's essential for anyone placed in a position requiring them to solve a problem. But allow us to break it down in simple terms … It's the ability to think clearly and rationally and involves the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking.
Our girls each came up with their own way of 'saving the egg'. Some wrapped it up in paper providing a cution for the egg, while others provided a soft landing spot for the egg. They all demonstrated a unique thought process, with some choosing to deal with the challenge from the source (protecting the egg from any outside force) while other choosing to deal with the problem at its end ( protecting the egg from the impact). In essence they personified what critical thinking is – as the systematic and logical approach to solving problems. See more from the days activity below.

A new gasoline pump label has been signed off by the White House that would inform consumers that they are about to fill their cars with a fuel blended with a higher rate of ethanol.
The Environmental Protection Agency approved the increase of ethanol levels in gasoline from 10 percent to 15 percent for newer vehicles and trucks in January -- a move welcomed by the ethanol industry, especially by the farmers who supply the corn to make the fuel.
The new label means that the so-called E15 gasoline could be available all across the country by the end of September, according to the pro-ethanol trade group Growth Energy.
EPA has yet to officially register E15 before it can be sold. The rate of service station owners to adopt the E15 gasoline is still unclear, especially that many station operators have to invest in new pumps and separate storage tanks. In addition, most stations will continue to sell E10 gasoline, which can be used in all vehicle makes.
Two weeks ago, the Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America and the National Association of Convenience Stores, which are organizations with members selling approximately 80 percent of the gasoline in the U.S., sent a joint letter to EPA to contest the new label.
The groups stated that retailers selling E15 could be held liable for damages if the consumers inadvertently put the fuel in the wrong engines. E15 is approved for vehicles built since 2001, a fleet of 150 million cars and trucks that consumes 74 percent of U.S. gasoline production.

The term Mexican Drug War misleads. It implies that the ongoing bloodbath, which has now killed well over 100,000 people, is an internal Mexican affair. But this diverts attention from the US role in creating and sustaining the carnage. It's not just that Americans buy drugs from and sell weapons to Mexico's murderous cartels. It's that ever since the US prohibited the use and sale of drugs in the early 1900s, it has pressured Mexico into acting as its border enforcer - with increasingly deadly consequences. Mexico was not a helpless victim. Powerful forces within the country profited hugely from supplying Americans with what their government forbade them. But the policies that spawned the drug war have proved disastrous for both countries. Written by two award-winning authors, one American and the other Mexican, A Narco History reviews the interlocking 20th-century histories that produced this 21st-century calamity and proposes how to end it.

"Blame America"
There is a lot of interesting, factual information in this book. There is also a whole lot of opinion scattered heavily throughout. Somehow, Americans' freedom to own AR15's puts RPG's (rocket propelled grenades) on the streets of Mexico?
"Brilliant History"
This should be standard reading for anyone who is interested in the history of the Mexican drug problem. They often quote from Ioan Grillo's El Narco - also obligatory reading if this is your interest. My only criticism is that the narrator clearly cannot pronounce the Mexican Spanish words properly and sounds more like a CNN transatlantic announcer.
"Want to be angry at popular stupidity?"
If so this book is for you. Give it a read and get mad now.

©2002 Tess Gerritsen; (P)2002 Books on Tape, Inc.
"Well-drawn characters and a compelling story will grab readers' interest and earn Gerritsen more admirers." (Booklist)
"Good Read"
I enjoyed this book immensely. I like the narrator and have no problem with the way she does male voices. I've listened to her many times and I'm used to her style of reading. I find it easy to get lost in the book & characters with this narrator.
The book itself is suspenseful all the way to the very end. As to Jane being the stereotype of 'women in a male world' - so what? I felt it was an honest characterization of a strong woman doing what is considered a man's job. I find it too much on the mark to ridicule the book based on that.
The self-psycho analysis of the 'surgeon' was excellent and very mind provoking. Really makes you start to think about the sort of things and people who do this sort of thing.
I have not read the first book "The Surgeon" and doubt if I do so while this one is fresh on my mind, but I will probably pick it up in the future. I also now plan to pick up some more of Gerritsen's books as I like her style of writing.
"Both The Author and The Narrator are Perfect"
First let me say that I am addicted to modern mysteries with intelligent female detectives, medical examiners, contract killers, ditch diggers, surgeons, anything but frumpy housewives and good mommies with perfect kids. So when Tess Gerritsen "gave birth" to the Rizzolli and Isles series I almost inhaled the first book in one sitting through my ears. Then I realized that the voice reading it was so hypnotic, expressive, engaged in the story that this was part of the reason I could not take my ears off the pages. Anna Fields is one of the most talented readers that Audible has. She can read an IRS information pamphlet on tax exemptions for 501 c3 organizations and make it interesting. Although Gerritsen's plots and excellent writing can survive other readers, even the less than mediocre ones, the combination of Anna Fields and the characters of Gerritsen's suspense novels is unbeatable. The Apprentice has so many twists and turns it's like a subway tunnel built by a crazed carnival ride inventor. But she did not fool me one bit with her ending. There will be more to come and a return of the least likable characters of The Apprentice so listen carefully, once, twice, maybe three times so you will be prepared for the sequels.
"Read "The Surgeon" First"
If I could, I would give this 3 1/2 stars. The only reason it wasn't 4 stars for me was that it became a little repetitive with the plot lines. The same scenario over and over... talk about deja' vue! All with very slow progress in terms of clues to find these serial killers. It all comes together at the end, but it is a long time coming. Don't judge the narrator by the sample on the book page. She sounds awful on that snippet, but when she begins to use different voices for different characters she is quite good. Not great with the male voices, but better than some with this series.
One interesting question... is Jane's last name pronounced Ritz-oley or Rizz-oley. As with the word Pizza, the correct Italian pronunciation, "zz" is just "z." No "t." Personally, I don't care, but I sure wish the narrators would make up their mind how Jane pronounces her last name... it varies from book to book. Another illustration of my biggest complaint with this series... NO continuity with narrators! They are AWFUL!
I would strongly recommend to listen to this series in order. I got my information as to the order of the books from an incorrect source when I began listening to them. Now I am all over the board in terms of what and who I know, and how things evolved. The only reason I haven't read The Surgeon is because it is abridged, and I am strongly opposed to abridged books, but after reading this book, I feel I am going to cave in and go back and read it. There were SO many references to it in this book that I regret not having read it first. It is central to the plot in this book, so if you haven't read The Surgeon I would recommend the same for you BEFORE you read this.
Otherwise, I love Tess Gerritsen, even her non-Rizzoli and Isles books. Some of those were even more enjoyable, IMHO. This was not my favorite book in the series, but I did enjoy it, and I think Gerritsen has created a great character in Jane Rizzoli
"Great Listen"
Great Listen. Enough twists and turns to make it difficult to turn off until completed. The Apprentice is the second of a five story series. It is the recommendation of both the author and I that you read them in the order they were written. While you can enjoy this one without having read the first one (The Surgeon), reading them in order allows you to see the development of the characters and have a better understanding of his/her personality. Can't wait to start # 3 The Sinner.
"Very good"
Awesome. Interesting characters and a story that kept me on the edge of my seat. I did not read the first book in the series (The Surgeon) but The Apprentice fills in the background enough so that I did not miss it. Jane, the heroine, is a homocide detective. She is working on a series of murders that are very similar to the murders committed by the Surgeon, who she caught a year ago, and who sits in jail for his crimes. Jane was terribly injured, both physically and emotionally, in the process of capturing the Surgeon. She is fighting off memories of the horror she went through and is determined to catch the killer who is copying the Surgeon's killing style. But then there is that pesky FBI agent.
Anna Fields is amazing in performing this book. I believe I read that she died over a year ago. If that is true, what a terrible loss. She was so talented.
"Better Than The Show"
The books are better than the show; well except for Angie Harmon. The follow up book to The Surgeon, Warren Hoyt returns to terrorize both Jane and the general populace and this time he has a partner. The television show made Hoyt out to be a larger factor than he is in the books, but he is a major player in this one. Though there is a great deal of extraneous detail at times this book is quite good. There is a certain amount of disbelief that must be suspended by the listener, but much of the law enforcement portion of the story is well done if not particularly realistic. A good listen.
"Thrilling Ride..."
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Purchased: Purchased Audiobook from Audible
What I Loved: This was the 2nd book in this series and it was firing on all cylinders. From beginning to end, the case was intriguing and chilling. Perhaps the best part of the book was the continuation of the story between the Surgeon and Rizzoli. It was wonderful to watch the story unfold from both of their perspectives in a unique, emotional, and raw way. I won't give away any spoilers but I will say that the story takes many twists/turns that will leave you breathless.
What I Liked: I liked the introduction of Isles in this book. It was understated but you got the feeling that she is going to become very important in the series. I also like the fleshing out of the character of Frost. I think he and Rizzoli make a great cop partnership and together they make a very solid foundation to build cases upon.
Complaints: Only one, I did not enjoy the narrator for this book. She made Isles sound really masculine and I believe my total dislike for Dean comes from the way she voiced him.
Why I gave it a 4: This was a very good follow-up to the first book in the series. Tess did not cheat her characters by automatically healing them from the things that have happened but she also didn't victimize them. She let them grow naturally and for that reason I am excited to read more from her.
Who I would recommend it too: I would recommend this book to thriller readers. It was well-paced, well-written, and well-delivered!
the plot was good
Not unless she pronounced Rizzoli without a T I have already ordered an other book so I have to
"An even better sequal"
I love Tess's books.
I read them all and listen to them all.
I love her flow and characters.
She is great and as an Anesthesiologist, I love her ideas and true medical information.
This book flowed perectly from Surgeon.
"Really graphic!"
I didn't read the first in this series (The Surgeon), and after listening to this, I won't! It was extremely graphic, and I had trouble liking the main character... she was a steriotype of "female hero in a male world" and had no depth. I may read one more from this series to see if I'm judging too harshly, but not the first one. This book had so many references back to the first, that I don't need to read it!

Theriot didn't start Thursday because Bochy thought he might be tired after a long flight from Arizona, where he was working out in extended spring training.

We're fighting because of it and I feel like he's just not attracted to me anymore. He says that's not it that he's just really stressed and sex is the last thing on his mind right now. Also I do have that thought in the back of my head that what if he's cheating but he's a good guy and I really don't think he'd cheat. I'm just going crazy here, I want sex sooooooooooooooooo bad and I'm not getting it. I probably sound selfish but I'm a very sexual person and the sex has to be there in my relationships.

Prodigal Son: 9th Hour Theatre Company presents sensitive, timeless story
Reviewed by Rajka Stefanovska
Prodigal Son
By Shawn Macdonald
Production: 9th Hour Theatre Company
What is good about 9th Hour Theatre Company is their unflinching courage to tackle bold and often sensitive subjects. What is great about them is their consistently challenging and artistic story telling that manages to hold up a mirror to its audience, no matter the topic. Their new production, Prodigal Son by Shawn MacDonald, is inspired by the suffering of LGBTQ people of faith, but in director Jonathan Harris' interpretation, the story becomes universal – it is about our imperfect world where individuals struggle with preconceived notions, embedded deeply through their upbringing. Unable to fight society's rigid rules, carved in stone by prejudice and a blind faith in authority, they lash out on those close to them and end up losing themselves. (more…)

1979: An amusing play, not a satire
Reviewed by Rajka Stefanovska
The year is 1979 and the Canadian political scene is in upheaval. The Conservative government has just replaced Trudeau's Liberals, and the new Prime Minister, Joe Clark, is trying to govern the country on the principles of honesty, truthfulness, and adherence to his high ideals. During his short period in the cabinet, he meets with much stronger adversaries than the opposition party – human greed and corrupt nature. While he stays true to himself and to Canadians, he, as a political misfit, ultimately looses the battle. (more…)

Les Passants is an imaginative, deep, intelligent, disturbing, and beautifully performed
Reviewed by Rajka Stefanovska
In his play "Les Passants," Luc Moquen is, to put it simply, presenting us to us. This play has no classic storyline – there is no beginning or end, nothing develops and nothing happens in succession. It has no real solution – only a hint that maybe love, a simple hug can help us – but nobody seems to see it. The play implies many things, and one of them is the fact that we do not want to listen to reason or to nature. "Les Passants' is a series of vignettes from average people's lives. The author observes them, captures their thoughts, misadventures, anxiety, and confusion. Although these sketches seem to be random when taken out of context, put together they make a powerful testimony by capturing the essence of today's life, which is filled with crazy rush through a myriad of meaningless tasks causing a detachment from everything and everyone around us. The leitmotif of the play is death – not so much physical, but a death inside us, caused by total alienation. Dante's Inferno, killings on the streets, or killing the human inside of us – all these deaths have the same root – displaced values as the result of a disconnect from our true, natural existence.

The Colony of Unrequited Dreams: Brilliantly performed, directed, and adapted
Reviewed by Rajka Stefanovska
In the Playwright's Notes, the playwright, Robert Chafe, writes: "The history buff will have no trouble calling me out. But I made my primary task to reflect the spirit and heart of this magnificent book within the often-confining demands of a stage play." That is exactly what he does. Hard, cold facts about Newfoundland's first premier Joey Smallwood, and the role he played in bringing the Dominion of Newfoundland into Canada's confederation can be found in any number of books. Chafe's adaptation of Wayne Johnston novel Colony of Unrequited Dreams brings much more to the stage than that. It brings back the time, the place and people during a time of great change in Newfoundland. (more…)

Attempts on Her Life: Brave, bold, modern, challenging, creative
Reviewed by Rajka Stefanovska
"Attempts on Her Life" is written by postmodern British playwright Martin Crimp, but has been entirely interpreted by Peter James Haworth, which is probably the only regularity in a highly irregular play. I say 'regularity' only because that is exactly the way Crimp works. Narrative is not his focus, therefore his dialogues are meaningless. The stage resembles madhouse whose residents are lost in nothingness. Reality disappears, lucid identity is non-existent, and lives are lived in a virtual world shaped by media.
The story – if one can talk about a story at all – revolves around Anne, the only character in the play. That is, if we can talk about character at all. Anne is not on the stage. She might be already dead, still alive, in the neighbourhood, or somewhere very far. Everybody talks about her, trying to shape her, disagrees about who she is, but in spite of all of that, here she is. She occupies our minds, our thoughts and becoming more real than we are. Welcome to the modern world of advanced technology and consumerism wrapped up into a global capitalism. In seventeen apparently disconnected scenes, groups of people talk about her as a terrorist, a porno star, a tourist hostess, a daughter of grieving parents, a suicide artist and even as a car. Crimp does not express his opinion; he does not create atmosphere or protagonist and anti-protagonists. In his emotionally detached work, he leaves every possible interpretation to the director.
There is no point in trying to understand a deeper meaning of the story (because there is none). (more…)

Servant of Two Masters. Massingham's staging of Goldoni is intriguing, engaging and funny from the first second! A Winner.
Reviewed by Rajka Stefanovska
Photo: Barb Gray.Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni. Directed by Andy Massingham. An Odyssey Theatre production
Almost as a rule, plays start slowly and develop into something interesting as the story unfolds. Fortunately, director Andy Massingham forgot all about this, and instead made "The Servants of Two Masters" intriguing, engaging, and funny from the first second. The play starts with the characters presenting themselves. One by one, they come dancing on the stage, promising an evening under the stars (and sporadic rain) full of fun and delight. Odyssey Theatre premiered its "Theatre Under Stars" production with the adaptation of Carlo Goldoni's best known comic play, giving it a more contemporary twist (the play is set in late fifties), and so proving the old art form of commedia dell'arte to be timeless.
Of course, in commedia dell'arte, the narrative itself is not the center of attention. The outline of the story and characters is always a simple tale about love, error, and deception. In this case, a young couple, Clarice (based on Isabella) and Silvio (based on Flavio), celebrate their engagement, when Truffaldino (based on Arlecchino) enters and announces that he has come with his master Federigo, Clarice's former fiancé who was presumably dead. While Clarice tries to whimper her way out of her predicament, hot headed Silvio to fight it, master Federigo (in reality Beatrice disguised as her brother) attempts to get his hands on Pantalone's (Clarica's father's) money. Florindo Aretusi (in love with Beatrice) comes looking for his love. Sly and capable Truffaldino (who has no idea that his master is a woman) seizes the opportunity to double his income. Now as a servant of two masters (Beatrice and Florindo) he juggles his duties masterfully, except for a few unfortunate errors, which lead to unexpected and hilarious developments.

Ottawa Fringe 2016: Raw Footage – mission accomplished as three artists create trustworthiness, honesty and beauty.
Reviewed by Rajka Stefanovska
Raw footage is comprised of three dance pieces performed by Cathy Kyle-Fenton, Mary Catherine Jack and Nicola Henry. It is a real treat for dance lovers who like to immerse themselves in a beauty of dance moves and to be carried away by the imaginative narrative. Artists dance beautifully, showcasing their talent, strength and creativity while portraying women who struggle with their personal perception of loss, beauty and life defining light.
Cathy Kyle-Fenton is dancing partly to the faint sound of guitar and partly to the complete silence – at the beginning the only sound heard is tapping of her own feet accompanied by the rhythmic sound of her breathing. Silence adds to the drama of the story about woman who recently suffered a loss of someone close and beloved. Pain is clearly written on her face. Every move tells about battle to accept the reality in hope that they will meet again.
Mary Catherine Jack is a true comedian in a role of a woman who is not a youngster any more, and has hard time to accept the plain facts: sagging skin, wrinkled face and not so firm body. She portrays the wont-to-be sexy seductress in a naturally humorous way while preserving control and gracefulness of dance.

Bringing a second cup suggest that he is going to share his precious tea with someone. Enter his friend James and the tea party begins.
It's a true party that these two bring to the stage. They combine physical comedy and improvisation, including audience involvement into a perfectly logical scenario. The story features two friends, a general, Jamesy's parents and a doctor. First, they "kill" the general on the battlefield, and after that, Jamesy asks his best friend James to take a photo of him and his parents. Of course, the parents are chosen from the audience. In the middle of the photo session, his father has a heart attack, which calls for a doctor (another audience member). The father, along with the entire family and the doctor rushes to the hospital. On their way there, they come face to face with a several difficulties, including a car accident. Not surprisingly, everybody ends up in Cafe Limbo, obviously on their way to Heaven.

Small Creatures Such as We
Created by Meagan McDonald & Vishesh Abeyratne
Produced by Angel in the Rafters Theatre
Joanna and Kit meet in their teens. He is a tough boy and she is a modest, religious girl. As opposites attract, Joanna and Kit fall in love. It is an unsteady, adolescent relationship, but it is exciting and pure. The Romance finishes with an unexpected pregnancy and stillborn child. They part, each going a different direction. Still, they often think of each other, and finally meet again after 10 years. Now as adults, they talk about how their lives have been changed as a result of their past. By revealing sequences of their youth, they face their inner demons and expose their tortured minds.
Small Creatures Such as We is a well-written story in which Meagan McDonald and Vishesh Abeyratne explore the dark side of growing up. They probe such issues as violence among teenagers, fear of and confusion with circumstances they find themselves in, as well as unprotected sexual relationships and its consequences. Although the general tone of the play is tragic, the creators leave hope for the future. Does love conquer it all? The end seems to be rushed, and therefore lacks the conviction of the rest of the narrative. (more…)

Vatican meeting on Church in China
The commission established by Benedict XVI in 2007 to study questions of importance concerning the life of the Catholic Church in China is currently meeting in the Vatican from 30 March to 1 April.
The commission includes superiors of the dicasteries of the Roman Curia with responsibility in this area, as well as certain representatives of the Chinese episcopate and of religious congregations.
In a statament the Vatican said: "The first plenary meeting, which took place from 10 to 12 March 2008, had as its theme the Letter the Holy Father Benedict XVI addressed to Chinese Catholics on 27 May 2007. The meeting considered how that pontifical document was received, both inside and outside China. Participants also reflected upon the theological principles that inspired the Letter in order to understand the prospects arising therefrom for the Catholic community in China.
"During the next plenary meeting, certain aspects of the life of the Church in China will be examined in the light of the same Letter. Particular attention will be given to important ongoing religious questions".

In fact, in ancient ages, peasants did not have their very own kitchens. Public kitchens were applied and just the wealthy or wealthy had their particular home, usually with a cook. It is a world so far taken off our modern way of life, and so fascinating. Cooking was generally done around an start fireplace and was obviously a much lengthier and tougher method than we are accustomed to today. Fires were used to keep warm and to cook and food was certainly really basic. But actually our earliest ancestors loved sharing meals with others and it is definitely considered a cultural function, even in the early days of mankind.

As technology developed, the iron stove was introduced. These ranges as opposed to as an start fire were closed in and that built cooking more efficient. By the late 19th century gas preparing was a great deal more common. Towns started to create pipes, sewers and other kinds of infrastructure, which produced life a little easier, and designed that a consistent and reliable supply of gasoline could be had. But kitchens were however nowhere near the modern day home and usually the kitchen room was also used as your bathrooms or resting room.
The center lessons would frequently use the home as the key living room, whereas the upper classes really tried it just as a home and generally permitted the area to be run totally by chefs and maids. All the things we take for given today such as for instance running water and basins, energy to boil a pot or gentle the room, were not therefore readily available during history. In the very early days, people had to transport pots or jugs of water an extended way.
Today in modern instances, we use the kitchen for more than simply preparing food of course. It is just a area for friends and household in the future together and appreciate time as well as consume food together. Our modern kitchens are a expression on our people and of course there still is a specific class divide exactly like in the nice past, but less prominent. If your individual features a bundle, such as for example a-listers or rich organization people, then kitchens inside their domiciles usually are quite grand. But with modern designs, fitted kitchens, and lots of different stages, many houses now have charming kitchens and kitchen renovation undoubtedly has taken off in new years.

Open strategy kitchens are getting very popular if you are fortunate to have the space. Modern devices and therefore many colors and services and products imply that you can have the kitchen of one's dreams significantly easier.
In the same way fashion has changed over the years, so have kitchens. Types for modern kitchens 50 years ago were different to what we see nowadays, with the development of more technology. Several influences have come from Europe specially Italy, France and Germany. Some individuals really like to create a record with their kitchens and go for very bright colors, or unique appliances and accessories. Others prefer a minimal look and sense, while the others still may just like the common or traditional looks.

Effective, easy and open are three ways to explain a modern kitchen. The type demands small depth and a clear finish. Lighting is very important and glass can be used a whole lot also. Litter is kept away and clear lines are used. You may get striking and innovative with colors if you want and may have clashing colors or very simple colors, or even just bright for a far more classic look.
The German type kitchen is all about rustic and natural colors and feels. There is a lot of structure also in German home design. Wood, tiles or granite are used a great deal and designs can be confused in the kitchen in the event that you prefer. Extras might be metal based, and many devices and furniture will be oversized due to the reality the German kitchens are actually a household room too. French furniture may be repaired if you have old items that you intend to hold or need to consider antique pieces.

The Western model home is certainly one of contemporary and glossy lines. Just like the Modern search, but with a lot more shade and more advanced a few ideas in use. Litter free and useful, these home types actually considered the employs of the kitchen and are made around practicality. Marble can be used typically as is Granite and a wish for eco friendly materials also comes through in American kitchens. So as you will see, no more only useful and inelegant, modern kitchens can become such a thing you would like dependant on budget, style preference and just how much you actually use the room, and in what way.

Our paper titled "Identifying Fingerprint Expertise" has been published in Psychological Science. We describe an experiment where we compare the fingerprint matching performance of experts and novices. We measured the benefit of expertise in matching fingerprints rather than accuracy per se. The difficulty is that no properly controlled experiments have been conducted on fingerprint examiners' accuracy in identifying perpetrators, even though fingerprints have been used in criminal courts for more than 100 years. We tested fingerprint examiners at police stations across Australia: in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and the Australian Federal Police in Canberra. We put examiners in a situation similar to their usual work, but we maintained tight experimental control by using simulated crime-scene prints and highly similar AFIS distractors in a signal detection paradigm.
We show that qualified, court-practicing fingerprint experts are exceedingly accurate compared with novices, but are not infallible. Our experts tended to err on the side of caution by making errors that would free the guilty rather than convict the innocent. They occasionally made the kind of error that can lead to false convictions.

The car: Volkswagen Caravelle
Price: $56,990
Vital statistics: 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo-diesel; 128kW/400Nm; 8.9L/100km; 236g/km CO2
The tester: Toby Hagon
Why we're driving it: We had a lot of adults to move, so we used it as a chance to get reacquainted with one of Volkswagen's full-size people movers.
Likes: Massive cabin with plenty of space for eight in 3-2-3 configuration. People can get in and out without having to fold or slide seats. Stability control is standard. Lap-sash belts and headrests in all positions. Sliding doors minimise parking dings. Diesel economy with decent performance that's not slowed much by weight of extra people. Slick automated manual teams impressively with engine. Rear air vents are great for those in the back. Good-size door pockets combine with dashtop binnacles to keep odds and ends in place. Decent equipment levels, including cruise control and trip computer. Two rear power outlets still feed power when car is switched off, allowing a car fridge to keep cooling or camping light to still work. Full-size spare.
Dislikes: It's not cheap, so is out of the budget of many families; things like metallic paint cost extra ($1490). Side and curtain airbags are only available on the long wheelbase Caravelle or the seven-seat Multivan. Diesel engine still a bit chuggy and sounds uninspiring. Upright seating position. Sliding side windows can be finicky. The boot may be big but so is the door to get to it. No input for MP3 players.
Would I buy one? If I had to regularly shift a lot of people it would be high on my shopping list.

Bonus post! Further to this excellent article from The Swiss Ramble about Bristol City's financials, it seemed relevant to post the following, which details some of the issues encountered by Roy Hodgson and Bob Houghton at Bristol City in the early 80s. The following was initially published in the latest Fulham Review (continues after the jump).
In 1978 the English PFA won freedom of contract for its players. Previously all control had been with the clubs, but now any player whose contract was over could force a transfer, whether his existing club agreed or not. Bristol City, then a first division team, lost a young player called Gary Collier to Coventry City this fashion, and manager Alan Dicks reacted by signing six players to eleven year contracts. Dicks reasoned that the long contract would give the club absolute control over its players, who could still be sold should the need arise.
In 1979-80 the club finished third from bottom of the old first division and were relegated. To take them back up they hired a young manager with a growing reputation: Bob Houghton.
Houghton, of course, turned to his old friend, Roy Hodgson. "If Halmstad had still been in the European Cup I might have had difficulty in getting my release to come to Bristol and join Bob," said Hodgson. "But the Swedish season only had another three weeks to run. Although I had a contract for another year, I wanted to make the break. Bob even asked me whether I would come to Bristol before he got the job."
At this point Hodgson had been on the verge of moving to Dallas in the USA, having organised a meeting with the backers of the Dallas Tornadoes football club. But the Bristol offer changed his plans: "I would have made a lot more money there but, like Bob, I wanted to prove myself in England. After five years I had to decide whether to stay on in Sweden, where I was well known, for another five or ten years, or to make a break and try elsewhere. Bristol City seems well organised so I hope to be able to concentrate on the coaching side with Bob."
Houghton and Hodgson really didn't know what they were letting themselves in for. Relegation from the first division had caused gates (then a club's main source of income) to drop from 18,000 to 10,000. Another relegation to division three would hit gates even harder. But Hodgson wasn't to know what he had walked into, and continued to speak positively of his new opportunity.
"Both Bob and I had managerial experience at a young age in Sweden when we were confronted with lots of problems. My five years there offered a very good apprenticeship. This is a big club and we're lying in a position that it totally unsatisfactory to all concerned. It is a matter of working hard. There is no magic formula. We just hope we can make the right decisions."
It was around this time, late in 1980, when the question of Bristol City's finances was first raised publicly. Local journalist Peter Godsiff noted that the club had been spending more than it had been bringing in for some time, and was moving in the wrong direction on the pitch, a dangerous combination. Indeed, Godsiff calculated that City's operating costs were around five times its gate receipts.
Deryn Collar, a local businessman, went to the club's AGM and noted that "you did not need to be Brain of Britain to see that the club was in the proverbial." Collar organised an independent financial report and learned that the club was, as Godsiff had suspected, facing enormous debt, heretofore hidden.
Hodgson himself noted, later on: "When we came the club was rock bottom and the first thing we had to do was sell players. We ended up with a junior team playing in a league of men." However, "we were not made aware of the situation before we arrived. The club had only just been relegated from the old first division. We thought it can't be that bad, we'll get them promoted. We were very confident in our coaching ability and thought we could turn the club around."
But it was not to be. At the start of the 1981-82 season (City had been relegated again in 1980-81) Houghton warned that "the club's cash position hasn't changed radically overnight. We've taken a risk to give ourselves a chance of being successful. We now hope the supporters will back us. Our future depends on crowds averaging 8,000 or more this season." The risk in question was the £150,000 signing of Mick Harford from Newcastle United, a big buy at the time and, in hindsight, probably a reckless one.
Houghton continued: "We are looking forward to a season that will stop the rot as far as the club is concerned. Two years of relegation and an exodus of good players has been little reward for our loyal supporters."
The 1981-82 division three season began quietly, with only 6,586 watching the side draw 2-2 with Doncaster Rovers, while 7,471 came to the 3-2 win over Plymouth Argyle. The team lost at Portsmouth, prompting Houghton to threaten wholesale changes ("if things don't improve I will bring young reserve players into the side"). Houghton was then linked with the Sweden international job, but was clear in his intentions: "I am very optimistic about Bristol City's future. I returned to England 10 months ago because I wanted to become a successful manager in the Football League. Nothing has yet persuaded me to consider changing course."
It would only be a matter of time.
For the visit of Reading, Houghton (showing extraordinary prescience) used his programme notes to complain about the way Match of the Day's coverage was devaluing football: "the only selling factor for them these days is goals. A goalless game [Match of the Day had come to the Bristol City v Preston North End game a week earlier – attendance down to 5,389, "the lowest since the war"] especially a third division match, means that rather than a presentation of the match and 90 minutes on the park, they are more interested in the sensationalism and ask questions about whether managers should get the sack. It underlines the disappointing fact that televised football presented these days is unbalanced and is more involved in the personality cult in a quest for the next sensation."
The plans for regular 8,000 attendances were going badly awry, as only 5,006 watched City beat Reading 2-0 in late October, at which point the team was in a safeish mid-table position. But money was running out, and the club sold young striker Kevin Mabbutt to Crystal Palace for £100,000, receiving defender Terry Boyle in exchange. The management had had high hopes for the Mabbutt/Harford partnership, and to see it dissolved so quickly must have been a huge disappointment.
At this point the club came clean, informing shareholders that it had made a loss of £400,000 in the preceding year, and that present losses were somewhere between £3,000 and £4,000 a week. Winger Clive Whitehead was sold to West Bromwich Albion for £100,000, and a new shirt sponsorship deal brought in £20,000. A new director, Leslie Kew, loaned the club £50,000.
But on the pitch the slide continued, with only five of 16 games won. Chairman Archie Gooch appealed to supporters for help. The 28 November programme noted that "he [Gooch] is looking for any ideas from people interested in the future of the club to help solve the acute financial problems." Gooch was consigned to his bed soon afterwards, ordered by doctors to "slow down". The club's problems were taking their toll.
It got worse. Only 4,862 turned up to see City lose 3-2 at home to Burnley; 2,900 came to see an FA Cup 2nd round win over Northampton. Two directors resigned, and the aforementioned independent enquiry began. Gooch, fighting on, announced that he hoped to launch a £1,000,000 share issue in February. Now only four clubs had fewer league points than City, and a remarkable third consecutive relegation grew more and more likely.
In his programme notes, Houghton ended 1981 with a sombre sign-off:
"Relegation and a continuing financial crisis has left everybody deflated. I am sure I speak for the players, the staff, the directors, and perhaps most of all you, the supporters, when I say that our New Year resolution must be for a brighter, happier 1982. We all hope the year to come will help erase the memories of certainly the worst year I have ever had in football, and probably one of the worst the club has experienced."
Then he resigned.
The club communicated the situation:
"Applications have been invited for the position of manager in succession to Bob Houghton, who resigned just before Christmas. The announcement was only made public after the last home match here against Wimbledon. Mr Houghton only signed a three year contract last March, so his decisions to leave came as a major surprise to everyone at the club. His assistant Roy Hodgson has taken over on a temporary basis, and made a magnificent start when he took the side to Peterborough and returned with a 1-0 victory.
"There has been considerable speculation about the identity of the club's next manager, but Chairman Archie Gooch does not want to make a hasty appointment. One of the candidates for the vacancy will be Mr Hodgson. Roy understands the position and he is a very capable man and will be considered with others. My hope is that in the next few weeks the players will back Roy up and he gets success. Maybe then he'll be the appointment."
Hodgson's first programme notes led with his mixed feelings about the circumstances surrounding his appointment.
"The pleasure from being given the opportunity of writing the manager's column for the first time is tinged with personal regret that Bob Houghton has seen fit to resign. There are many people at Ashton Gate who realise the hard work and effort put in during his 15 months here. He worked for the long-term future of the club and made many personal sacrifices to keep the club going through a difficult period."
Hodgson had only been in charge a short time before the Football League imposed a selling ban on the club, which still owed Newcastle United £100,000 of the £150,000 Mick Harford fee. At this point the club revealed that eight senior players must leave, so as to save money and stave off liquidation. These players, some of whom were on Alan Dicks' long term deals and therefore would have been entitled to significant payoffs, became known as the Ashton Gate Eight.
The players were offered £58,000 between them in compensation, far less than the value of their remaining contracts. They were, very reasonably, not sure about this, but the club by now had an annual salary bill of £350,000, was losing £4,000 a week, and was somewhere north of £700,000 in debt. Something had to give.
The Ashton Gate Eight were, perhaps rightly, cast as heroes for eventually accepting this contract cancellation. Had they not agreed Bristol City would certainly have been in deeper debt, and would have had one more problem to worry about. As it was, many of the players in question felt that they didn't have a lot of choice: if they stayed and the club went under they wouldn't have received anything at all. So they left Bristol City, which, with Deryn Collar at the helm was about to be re-formed as a new company.
The news was coming thick and fast:
It has been a difficult and worrying week for us all but here we are, B.C.F.C. (1982) Ltd. Quite a mouth-full!
We would like to think that it will still be known as Bristol City – The Robins. This could be the start of a new era. The last few weeks have been the most traumatic for everyone concerned with Bristol City Football Club, management, the players, the staff and the directors have been under great pressure but at the deadline hour of 12noon on Wednesday 3rd February the players co-operated and have given this great club a real chance of survival. We now need your support, bring your families, friends and neighbours to cheer your team. Many young faces will be on show, they need your vocal support. The new Board of Directors will work to their full capacity on your behalf. Remember, it is your club and we have the responsibility to look after it for you. Thank you for spending your Saturday with us, we look forward to seeing you much more. There is nothing to be gained from looking at the past – we have to look to the future and for the first time for many years this is bright and glowing as it has ever been. However, let there be no complacency, the club is dependent on the support. SUPPORT AND WATCH YOUR CLUB – IT's GOING PLACES.
Roy Hodgson's take:
"Everyone at the club was uncertain about the future and the game at Newport was played under the shadow of redundancies and closure of the club. It was hardly the ideal preparation and I must admit I was a little worried about how the players would react as we were going across the Severn Bridge."
City were now only above the relegation places on goal difference. Hodgson himself noted that "Unless we get a couple of experienced players soon, I don't give us much chance of avoiding relegation." City were regularly playing teenagers, and had lost two their most important players, Terry Boyle (broken jaw) and Peter Devine (broken leg) to injury.
When you're down, you're down, and the Football League threw another spanner in the ever-complicated works by demanding a £250,000 performance bond (presumably as a kind of deposit against future issues), money the club clearly did not have. The City board flew to League HQ to negotiate this requirement, and emerged with a compromise deal that allowed them to press on with the planned share issue, seemingly the only hope of survival. Chris Curling, the club secretary, said "It is now up to the public and supporters to show that they want a football club operating at Ashton Gate in the future. The directors have picked up the gauntlet and have challenged people interested in the future of the club to support the share issue."
Hodgson's notes underlined the seriousness of the position:
"Everyone at the club was shocked last Thursday to find that the share issue for which the club has been preparing assiduously for the last few weeks was once again in jeopardy. This resulted from a Telex from the Football League stipulating that the club find a very large sum of money to be lodged as a bond in case the new company could not continue to run Bristol City in the first year. Such a claim was obviously an impossible one for the new board of directors to meet."
The club got serious, with an advert in the programme leading with:
Some excerpts from the BCFC (1982) prospectus that followed:
A lack of playing success leading to relegation in two successive seasons together with criticisms which have been made at the top levels of management have meant that the speed of decline in its fortunes has been almost unprecedented.
The new company therefore sees the situation as offering the chance of a fresh start.
We are determined to strive for a number of key objectives:
One – strict financial management
Two – shorter player contracts
Three – Strengthened youth policy
Four – a stress on attacking football
Five – matches to be good value. Reduced admission prices, etc
Six – Improved communications from the club
Seven – Alternative (profitable) uses of Ashton Gate
Eight – reversion to red and white, the club's traditional colours
The new club needs to raise minimum funds of £600,000 to purchase the Ashton Gate ground, and to acquire other assets. A significant part of these funds must come from the share issue which should appeal not only to supporters but also to those interested in maintaining prestige and pride in the City of Bristol.
If the share issue fails to achieve sufficient support the chance of Bristol City surviving as a Football League club would be negligible. The Ashton Gate stadium might well be demolished to make way for building development.
In the next issue of the programme, before the April 6th game against Carlisle United, there are no notes from Hodgson. The club had lost six games in a row, including a 1-0 defeat in Chesterfield for which City had only 12 available players, three of whom were recovering from the flu, and had sold Mick Harford to Birmingham City for £122,000. Star goalkeeper Jan Moller had also been moved on, to Toronto Blizzards for £85,000.
In a column that might be filed under "deckchairs, rearranging", Hodgson focused on the Harford sale in his next programme notes column, explaining to the fans why this would necessitate a change in the team's playing style:
"I do think it is worth explaining a little about tactical formations and playing style as this is an area where there is much misunderstanding and certainly an area where people have been misled by some of the things they see and read.
"All playing styles are dependent on the players the manager or coach has to choose from. And I am sure I speak for most of my managerial colleagues when I propose that most of the styles adopted are based firstly on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the players available, and only secondly on the manager's philosophy of the game. In recent weeks we have seen a further depletion of our staff with the departures of (goalkeeper) Jan Moller and, even more importantly, Mick Harford, who was a key figure in our attacking play.
"This has forced a change in our tactical thinking. We are obviously concerned about our lack of goals in recent matches and as time is beginning to run short we have decided to pursue a more adventurous playing style in the remaining games. This will hopefully make it easier to get players into goalscoring positions whilst making the task of defending that much more difficult.
"Against teams that play with only two players up front I shall be entrusting the task of covering them to two 'marking players', who will be supported by a sweeper. His job will be to cover the flick ons and support the markers if they are beaten in one-on-one situations. By then pushing the players who normally play full-back further forward to mark the opposing wide midfield players we shall have gained a man, who can play in a forward position. It concerns me that a move away from the traditional playing style our players have grown up with will be fraught with problems and that the amount of time available to sort out these problems in training is going to be limited. Perhaps we should take heart from the old cliche, nothing ventured nothing gained."
Hodgson also stressed to the press that his team would attack at every opportunity for the rest of the season. "It is a tremendous gamble, but we have reached the point of no return."
It didn't pay off. The team lost 4-0, 2-1 and 3-0 in its next three matches, drew 0-0, lost 2-0, beat Gillingham 2-1 then lost 5-0 at Huddersfield and drew 0-0 at Wimbledon.
To make matters worse, the share issue failed.
Hodgson was scathing: "Once again we come to the end of a crucial week in the club's history when the expected failure of the share issue has meant there is a large question mark hanging over the club's league status and survival. Like everyone else I am surprised that the weight of opinion in favour of democratising the club with each shareholder having a say in running it has not provided a concrete response in terms of money invested. It would appear that the club's critics in recent years who have been vociferous in those organisations affiliated to the club are happiest when criticising from a position of non-responsibility. When the chance has come to do something positive about altering the status quo, they have been found wanting."
And then he was dismissed. According to the local press, he took the news with a resigned shrug, saying "it was not unexpected." Hodgson's return to England, his first managerial position in his home country, had ended in disaster.
On May 15th only 1,034 fans watched City beat Chester City 1-0. City went down again and Hodgson returned to Sweden.

"Research finds brain link for words,
music ability"
May explain journalism degree, newspaper
experience and 9 guitars
SAN DIEGO - Words and music, such natural partners that it seems obvious they go together. Now science is confirming that those abilities are linked in the brain, a finding that might even lead to better stroke treatments.
Studies have found overlap in the brain's processing of language and instrumental music, and new research suggests that intensive musical therapy may help improve speech in stroke patients, researchers said Saturday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
They may also discover music builds mathematics skills - 3rd, 5th blues progressions!

What is YOUR #OneGoodReason?
Way to go CVS! Or should I say – CVS Health.
The company made headlines a few months back announcing they disavowed their addiction to tobacco…revenues, that is. While the company braces for the $2-billion drop in sales, they expect their re-positioning to overall health care to offset this and lead to sustained growth in the long-run.
This breathtaking (get it?) display in Bryant Park introduces the New York market and the world to CVS Health.

When our group decided on The Local's article, which focuses on
the growing and immense numbers of people in Germany who are in need of this organizations help line. After reading the article I chose to write on Oedipus the King because the similarities between the emotions and issues of the characters in the play, are very similar to what many of these callers of the help line are experiencing. To highlight and emphasize on these similarities we will focus solely on the main character of the play Oedipus and how it relates to the article.
Trust Issues:
Many of Oedipus's problems root from being alienated from the truth about being adopted at such a young age, which created major trust issues. The result of this lack of trust in others forced Oedipus to conceal various dark secrets that he held from even his closest loved ones. He never felt comfortable enough to tell his parents about the prophecies he had been told about how he would one day kill his father, marry his mother and have sex with her. This inability to talk to the ones close to him lead to confusion that troubled him so much that he lashed out one day killing five people, one of them being King Laius. This decision was the first of many poor ones that would eventually result in him being so disgusted with his life that he stabbed his eyes out so that he would never have to see the horror of the world.
Telephone Pastors:
Many people who call into this hotline are experiencing similar feelings as Oedipus. Children and adults who use this calling centre are suffering from, feelings of loneliness without anyone to talk to about their problems. Because of this many of them are very distressed and angry about the life that they have been given. These are serious emotions that if untreated can lead to sever depression where people may begin to conflict pain on themselves (much like Oedipus) or consume harmful substances. Within the article there's a quote from one of the Telephone Pastors that says "For the most part we hear about relationship problems inside the family or with a partner, and also about loneliness. But people also call to tell us about psychological or physical problems they are suffering from" these three main topics also happen to be of huge relevance in Oedipus the King. (The Local, 2015)
A Different Perspective:
Like countless people on the help line there is no one in their life that helps them see a positive in a bad situation, a silver lining to support making them feel important or proud of themselves. Many who analyze the play do the same to Oedipus, though his life was riddled with a series of unfortunate events that were made worse through his inability to face the truth; there is an angle, which many overlook. That's a Oedipus's sign in strength of character. Oedipus shows a lot of growth that most don't see (like suicidal people aren't taken seriously with their issues or feel worthless). When everything had unravelled and it became clear that all the prophecies had become true, Oedipus confronts his mistakes and sticks to his promise to the city of Thebes by punishing and banishing the killer of the past king Laius, himself.

Berlin - it all happened here.
Berlin Travel Blog› entry 32 of 65 › view all entries
I have always been fascinated with World War II, so to visit the place that was so influential in such recent history was a little surreal.
It seems the Germans want nothing more than to forget Hitler - the site of what was his Chancery and his extremely fortified underground bunker (where he married and committed suicide) are no more, and in their place is a sidewalk, carpark and apartments, with no reminder of them ever being there.
I visited the Reichstag, which is the German Parliament. It now has a glass rooftop dome to symbolise that the German political system is transparent. I was fascinated that it was because of this building burning down that Hitler actually gained a lot of his power. We went inside and climbed to the top of the dome, however unfortunately, parliament was not in session so we couldn't see anything. I did like the architecture there though!
The other major historical element of Berlin is The Berlin Wall and what remains. It is so hard to imagine having to live like that...
Other sights that we visited were The Checkpoint Charlie Museum, The Eastside Gallery on the longest stretch of remaining wall, The Victory Column, and the Jewish Memorial.
