Forget the job ratings; march to the beat of your heartJan 16th, 2013 | By joegrimm | Category: News

Ratings make me want to scream. They are so meaningless.
Recently, we have seen ratings that say newspaper reporters have one of the top 10 most stressful jobs (along with soldiers, CEOs and firefighters). Also, people have been writing about a book that says journalists are one of the 10 most likely trades in which to find a psychopath.
Do the people who read this believe it? Do they people who write it believe it?
No list, rating or star system, whether based on a survey or a finger to the wind can tell me what is rewarding, stressful, fun or challenging for me.
Some journalists are always stressed; some are always mellow. I suspect that is true in every trade. Ratings and top 10 lists discount variations within the group.
Psychology Today recently turned list-making on its head by giving us 10 reasons why people love their jobs — whatever their jobs.
My three favorites:
1. They don't care what you think.
2. They won't be stopped.
3. They never, ever limit their vision to serve the interests of petty competition.
In short, they do what they love, they love what they do and they'll keep doing it until they decide they don't. Then, they'll do something new. They don't need lists.

What sites offer the best possibilities for archaeologists to discover new sites and/or lost landscapes?
- Created by: Neen Oldis

What methods offer the best possibilities for archaeologists to discover new sites and /or lost landscapes?
Within the field of practical archaeology there has sometimes been an issue with being able to locate new sites so archaeologist have settled for completing research studies on sites that are better known and funding can be secured. Examples of these sites are Boxgrove or Bristol Universities research at Berkeley Castle. However, with the onset of new technological advancements it has been possible for archaeologists to use other methods that are considered to be non-invasive to start discovering new sites. In this essay I intend to look at the strengths and weaknesses of different methodology including standard excavation techniques through to new methods such as the English Heritage LIDAR programme. There will also be consideration of using underwater archaeology and the issues that arise for looking at landscapes and sites.
Sites to use
- Charterhouse and the use of LIDAR
- Bouldner Cliff or Doggerland-Mesolithic –core sampling, sonar surveying and other excavation techniques
- Shapwick-Fieldwalking/ surveying
- Boxgrove-Fieldwalking/ surveying
- Any Time Team where geophysical surveying or other types of surveying was used-The Fen's or even Roman Cirencester episode.
- Extension site: Geophysics revealing Interamna Lirenas, ancient Roman town
Understanding of Landscape Archaeology
Landscape archaeology: commonly used to characterise the areas of archaeological research and interpretation that consider the landscape rather than the site, interrelationships of the site and the physical spaces separating them.
Methods most commonly used:
- Maps
- Documentary research
- Fieldwalking
- Surveying
- Aerial photography
Methods that are used but are not so common:
- Satellite remote sensing (another form…

We had an interesting chat with Mr. "Esha Kayan", Ceo/Founder of the Kolkata – India based start-up "Baby's Locker"
Below is the interview we conducted with him:
1. What is it exactly that you do and what your start-up is all about?
I am the Ceo/Founder of Baby's Locker. Right now apart from the workers, I am the only one managing the brand, which is great! Baby's Locker is India's First 100% Organic & FairTrade Clothing brand for babies and by far the cutest. The brand is all about bright happy colors. We encourage young mother's to shop and experience what we are providing. We are here to make a difference. The aim is to make sure that the little ones are comfy, safe and happy.
2. When has your startup been founded? And what stage is your startup currently at?
Baby's Locker launched on 1st of March 2015, after a ten month long journey. It has only been a month since we launched and the response has been incredible.
3. What is your startup's business model and how does it work?
Products are made in-house. They are designed & manufactured with love & respect for the world in which we live, where our children will grow & play in.
4. How did your team meet? And who in your team does what?
Difficult stage was getting the team together, can't thank my worker enough. I handle everything by myself (designing & manufacturing). One-man army sort off.
5. What, exactly, makes you different from existing options, what will make your product and/or service stand out in the marketplace? In other words what's unique about you and what's new about what you make?
India's 1st 100% Organic & FairTrade clothing brand for babies We create curated products, our aesthetics are different & being one amongst the few female entrepreneurs in India
6. What is your growth like? And what milestones has your startup achieved so far?
It has just been a month since we launched, so the millstones we have achieved can't be said much about. But we are growing everyday. Learning new things along the way and expanding our reach to our target audiences as we go along.
7. Who are your competitors? And what is your start-up's competitive advantage over them?
Products vein 100% organic cotton, aesthetics of the brand is different, product designs are fresh & above all competition is everywhere, we are hear to stay.
8. What obstacles did you face and how did you overcome them?
The most difficult stage was getting the team together! I can't thank my workers enough; they have encouraged and helped me a lot throughout the journey. Apart from the workers, it's just myself. I pooled up money for the brand through my family and friends who supported my idea, and a little saving I had left from my work experience back in college. I designed the website myself so a lot of money was saved in that front.
9. What are the key things about your field that outsiders don't understand?
How helpful Organic Cotton is for the children. There is no harmful chemicals used in this process which is extremely good for the babies skin. The workers are not harmed by the use of colors & we are a 100% FairTrade Brand. The colors/prints are GOTS approved.
10. Why are you going to succeed?
Baby's Locker is going to succeed. I am not saying this because it is my brand and that I have worked hard for it. I am saying this because we are different. We are setting a standard that no other brand has reached or thought of in the children sector at all in India. From our designs to our website aesthetics, we stand out.
11. If your startup succeeds, what additional areas might you be able to expand into?
Right now we are thinking of becoming a holistic brand. That's our aim. Along with satisfying our customers completely and reaching to our target audiences. These are the cards in hand at the moment.
12. Why did you choose this idea and concept to build your start-up based on?
Building on the idea, was like discovering myself. Once I started pondering over it & began to believe in the project; I became extremely enthusiastic; realizing how apt I was for it & passionately loved doing it.
13. What have you learned so far from launching your idea?
Since the launch, I have learnt or tried to learn the art of being patient! Idea isn't the big achievement. I feel the delivery is. How I manage to build the idea that I have got is the head turner. And then after launching we feel the tough just got over, but it ain't that at all! Hahah
14. Six months from now, what's going to be your biggest problem?
This topic will only have value two months from today. In one month's results, judging or evaluating the future would be a little rash I feel. Only after a three to six month status about the growth could tell me what my next move should be. Our energy is driven only towards reaching out to the right target audiences.
15. What's the benefit for the customer/user?
The customers at Baby's Locker benefit not only the amazing service we provide to them (for example being prompt with our orders, being quick with our email/ phone call replies etc) but from the quality of our clothes. Organic clothing is the best for the children. It super soft and comfy. No harmful chemicals are used in the making, it is GOTS approved and no there is no chance of allergies at all.
16. How did customers / users find out about you?
Word of mouth is our greatest strength. But social media has helped massively. We are still in our early stages, but so far seek help from places like start-ups co. to help brands like us reach out to our target audiences!
17. Who are your current customers / users? Who are your target customers / users?
Baby's Locker is for the new mom's. They are extremely active on social media, where we market a lot. We want to reach out to the massive amount of new mom's who would definitely love our brand.
18. Where do new customers / users come from and what makes new customers/users try you?
New customers are attracted via social media mainly. Articles where Baby's Locker has been mentioned helps a lot and we get traffic from those areas as well. With the feedbacks that we have received, customers get's attracted to the new way we have presented the brand. As well as our prints are very different. The aesthetics count a lot.
19. What do your customers / users say about your product and/or service?
With the feedbacks that we have received, customers get's attracted to the new way we have presented the brand. As well as our prints are very different. The aesthetics count a lot. They have loved our quality and prints.
20. How are you going to scale?
Baby's Locker is for the new mom's. We believe that word of mouth is the best way to market and go up the scale. A boost will be when we get a return customer, shopping again with us! ( since its just been less than a month, we only want to reach out to the relevant target audiences).
21. What's the biggest missing feature? The one thing customers/users keep asking for?
The customer's feel we need more products. As I said earlier the concept of curated isn't there or understood in India yet. But we are expanding our styles and patterns soon!
22. Are you going to internationalize? And if yes how are you planning to expand your start-up's operations accordingly?
I can't say no, because I haven't given a thought to that yet. Being just a month old, Baby's Locker is planning to capture the Indian market completely first. We are trying to reach out to our target audiences as much as we can.
23. How big do you think you can get? Why? And how you are planning to achieve your goals?
Baby's Locker aspires to become the best clothing brand for children in India. We want to become the first choice of the parents; of the new mom's. We are different, we have our plus points and we will keep building on them.
24. Are you looking to hire a new workforce? And if yes, what job vacancies do you currently offer and where can potential applicants contact you at?
At the moment no, we aren't thinking of that yet. Our small team is efficient and presently sufficient for the tasks in hand. But in the future, yes of course; probably once we have established firm grounds.
25. Are you looking for partnership opportunities or funding from Venture Capitals (VC) or other funding sources? Or your business is self-sustainable? And if the first option applies where can potential partners / investors contact you at?
Not really, Baby's Locker is self sustainable at the moment. We are not looking for any partnership opportunities as yet. Funding or a venture capital would be a no for sure.
26. What advice do you have for fresh entrepreneurs?
A thought rather than advice. The Idea isn't the big achievement, building on it is the head turner. And after the launch we feel the tough just got over, but it ain't that at all!
27. Finally, do you have any other comments that you would like to add?
I just wanna say a few things about my journey and how I came up with the idea.
The Journey:
Sometimes our best decisions are the ones that don't make any sense at all!
I started this brand when I was unsure if I could design, if I could set up a
workshop by myself, if I actually had it within me. Words like 'can I do it?' 'is it
possible' came across; constantly questioning my abilities and myself.
After a three-year course in marketing in the UK, I came back to India; rejected by
all the companies I had applied to for a job. I came to India scared, 'what if I
don't get a job, what will I do, what will people think' the negative cloud
surrounded me. Making me panicky. I applied to a few fashion based companies,
bloggers, marketing companies, with a question in my mind 'why would they take me?'
Whilst I was impatiently waiting for them to reply, there were constant family
parties, baby showers, shopping excretions for which I had to help my sisters – the
best way to distract me from all the pressure. They called me their fashionista as I
was always inclined towards fashion. Being fashionable was just my mere nature, no
hard and fast rule, it came from within, since childhood.
As I was battling with my negative thoughts that was hovering over my positive aroma
regarding my job applications back of my head – I had to shop for the three little
ones that were entering this bright life. As I was trying to shop, I realized there
was absolutely nothing that attracted me eagerly; nothing different and fresh. The
shopping trip was a big fail, and I ended up ordering baby clothes from abroad.
While I was disappointed, I realized that what I was seeking for my upcoming nieces
and nephews, I could just make it for them. The so-called idea gave me goosebumps;
does this even make sense? Can I start something of my own? Just me? These were the
exact words that flooded my mind.
Once I started pondering over the idea and began to believe in the project; I
researched more and more, scratching the ground deeper n deeper. I became extremely
enthusiastic about the whole new idea, realizing how apt I was for it and
passionately loved doing it. The negativity vanished, and I felt like the positive
22 year old that I generally am.
So, even though I was majorly confused at the start, doubting my capabilities, I
eventually found my way to Baby's Locker. A ten month long journey from being
unemployed to starting my own business, was heck of a road. I pooled up money for
the brand through my family and friends who supported my idea, and a little saving I
had left from my work experience back in college. I designed the website myself so a
lot of money was saved in that front. The most difficult stage was getting the team
together! I can't thank my workers enough; they have encouraged and helped me a lot
throughout the journey. I am handling everything by myself (One-man army sort off).
I design the clothes and my workers have helped me immensely! It's been a rough
start but I am sure to have a bright future ahead for Baby's Locker!
As it is said by Dhirubhai Ambani "If you don't build your dream, someone else will
hire you to help them build theirs."

Fresh, Tasty and Addicting!
This is a little gem that is not to be missed! All of their food is made from scratch and is fresh as can be, (I watched them juice the fruit that makes the most amazing smoothies in the world. Don't believe me, try them!) The gelato is incredible and made IN STORE FRESH, the coconut even has chunks of fresh coconut in it. For a BC girl spending time in the prairies this place was heaven sent with all fresh veg and fruit and even flown-in Kona coffee. I will truly miss the friendly staff (I went so often I feel like I've been coming here for ages) and will be recommending it to any and all folk, only a minute or two off the highway for those cutting through and looking for a reprieve during a prairie summer :) Relaxing atmosphere and an genuine care for their customers, they have lactose free and gluten free options for everything (as far as I could tell) and made me feel at home right away. This is a local small business that has character and a easy going feeling. I honestly can't say enough good things. You rock Minisapoy!

It really depends on the situation of the student.
Some people actually need to earn a living and therefore would choose to enter into the job market upon graduating.
If there is a large demand for engineers (today) one may be better off taking a job and possibly work on their Masters part-time. Check out the job market. The economy can be a deciding factor.
No one can predict what the economy will be like by the time they finish school. Having an engineering job while pursing one's Master's degree would be better than graduating with a Masters and being unable to find a job. Sometimes you have to take advantage of opportunities when they arise.
Other students who don't need to make money to pay for school may opt to continue directly into the Masters program. In the U.S. I am told if a student is receiving students loans they don't have to start repaying them until they stop going to school. Some choose to continue borrowing and attending school while others go to work and strive to pay down their current loans.
Most students aren't in a position to simply take a "break" as in lay around the house not working and not going to school.
Anyone who is in that position might as well continue to school and knock out their Masters if that really is their goal. At the very least one should take an (Internship job) working for the type of company they hope to establish a career with.
These days a lot of employers place a higher value on graduating students who also have some work experience as opposed to never having had a job in their whole life.
Competition is fierce for good jobs these days!

thanks for the really descriptive answer, really appreciated..
It depends...As you can see that not all the graduates are the same.
►It will be more preferable for a top scorer and the genius mastermind to get on with his MASTERS in a good reputed college if the guy is not interested in a job or in setting up a firm.
►It will be more apt for a fair to middling person to prefer a JOB over his MASTERS as he can get a more promising living than to wait for his masters to complete.If interested these kind of people can excel fairly in business and administrating firms as they mostly have the all-round knowledge.
►It is suggested that the guys who fair below par in academics to prefer a BREAK or a JOB as per their capabilities / interests.If they choose to take a BREAK then they are advised to learn / know about their interested fields of career and go that way after enough awareness.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Very well answered, thanks
Whether one can afford to continue school without working is a major consideration you neglected to mention. At least in the U.S. college is not free unless you had a scholarship. Most students go into debt with student loans.

It happened this past week -- the loss of one of America's most unique comedic talents.
"Professor" Irwin Corey died Monday at his home in New York City.
Born in Brooklyn in 1914, Corey was raised in an orphan asylum until he was 13, when he set out on his own.
He drifted into theater and standup comedy, and would spend the next 70 years perfecting the persona of the befuddled professor, billed -- with mock seriousness -- as "the world's foremost authority."
On what, no one was ever quite sure ...
Dressed in his signature string tie, swallow-tail coat and sneakers -- his hair looking as if combed with a blender -- the "Professor" would expound at length on any question, sometimes even before the question was asked:
Irwin Corey: "They move to Peoria where there's no trains, no buses ..."
David Letterman: "Excuse me ..."
Corey: "I'm sorry, what was the question?"
Letterman: "There hasn't been a question yet."
Corey: "That's why people are ill-informed. You've got to ask questions!"
Professor Irwin Corey was 102.

Zinedine Zidane will face the hardest test as Real Madrid's coach since winning the Champions League cup. The French manager has been able to record stable results and his team is now leading the Spanish league. However, they are going to face both of their direct rivals in upcoming 2 weeks. First, they visit Vicente Calderon for a meeting with city rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Then follows a travel to Lisbon, where reigning champions will face Sporting CP in a UCL group stage game. Finally, on December 3, Zidane's men will have to prove their superiority in Camp Nou against Barcelona.
A tough fixture, isn't it? The situation has been complicated by the numerous injuries, which left some important players out of the squad. Toni Kroos is out for a long period, while Casemiro and Pepe haven't recovered from their health problems yet and are very unlikely to feature against Atletico Madrid. Luka Modric and Sergio Ramos are back to the team, but their fitness is still far from the ideal. Adding Mateo Kovacic's injury that he's picked up in Croatia squad, Zidane's problems get more and more.
Two of his predecessors – Carlo Ancelotti and Rafael Benitez – found it hard to succeed at Vicente Calderon. Now it's Zidane's turn to take this challenge. While the glory of a victory could propel Real to a strongly desired league title come May, and an immediate nine point lead over their city rivals, a loss could see them squander top spot at the start of a perilous run of games. The last coach who managed to record incredible results in away matches against Atletico was Jose Mourinho, who not only won all 4 matches at the Calderon but also conceded only 3 goals. Then Carlo Ancelotti replaced him on the bench and won only once in 6 away derbies. Rafa Benitez was given only one opportunity to take three points but was able to muster a 1-1 draw.
Zidane is now considering two playing schemes that he can use against Atleti. The first option is 4-3-3 with the following line-up: Keylor Navas, Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic, Isco, Bale, Benzema/Morata, Ronaldo. This positioning is close to Zidane's most preferred alignment, while Kroos's and Casemiro's absence may be a shocking knock to the Blancos's defensive capabilities. The risk is high enough to count only on this tactics. That's why Zidane has a Plan B for this clash. He can also play with 4-4-2, where neither Benzema, nor Morata will start the match. The following players are likely to feature in this Plan B: Navas, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Asensio/Vazquez, Kovacic, Modric, Isco, Bale, Ronaldo. This alignment is more conservative and defensive, but it weakens the attacking power. However, Asensio or Vazquez can offer some tactical superiority in midfield positions and contribute to moving the ball faster between the lines.
Diego Simeone's Atletico also play with a 4-4-2 tactical arrangement. Their starting XI is more than predictable as Simeone doesn't have a habit of inventing new things in important matches, and he'd rather count on his proved men: Oblak, Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis, Saul, Gabi, Koke, Carrasco, Griezmann, Gameiro.
Only three days and we will have the answer to the first question: can Zidane and his team stand out and boost their chances of winning the La Liga title after 4 years of struggle. One thing is evident, they won't have an easy walk at Vicente Calderon, and chances are really equal.

The adventures of the greatest superheroine of all time, as portrayed by Lynda Carter in the now iconic TV series from the 1970s, continue in the pages of Wonder Woman '77 from DC Comics.
The Advocate recently lassoed an exclusive sneak peek at the newest chapter of this fan-favorite series (see the star-spangled goodness below) and settled in for a wondrous chat with the gay writer of the current storyline, Marc Andreyko, on the lasting appeal of Carter's interpretation of Wonder Woman and the 75th anniversary of the Amazing Amazon.
The Advocate: You were a big fan of the Wonder Woman TV series growing up. What has it been like for you to pen the further adventures of this beloved incarnation of the Amazing Amazon?
Marc Andreyko: It's been a dream and a privilege, and meeting Lynda Carter was icing on the cake! She's even lovelier and more gracious than I imagined.
Wonder Woman '77 has been a digital-first series since its incarnation, with a new trade paperback collection heading our way this summer. What's been your favorite part of seeing your work in digital format versus traditional printing?
The beats of the story read differently digitally, so telling a story that works on paper and on-screen is a fun challenge — and the colors digitally are so vibrant. It's lovely.
How would you like to see digital distribution grow in the comics field?
I would like to see all comics distribution grow. I love the art form, and since these characters are shaping Hollywood and pop culture, the more readers, the merrier.
This year marks 75 years since Wonder Woman made her debut. Do you have any plans to celebrate the occasion?
We're all really excited to celebrate Wonder Woman, and I'm in discussions with DC now. I want to make Lynda Carter fans squeal with joy!
Why do you think this particular interpretation of Wonder Woman continues to resonate with fans almost 40 years after it debuted on TV?
Many reasons. First and foremost being Lynda. Her performance was ahead of its time and is sheer perfection. Add in the cool costumes, the amazing theme song, and what's not to love? This is the standard bearer for superhero performances.
What most excites you about the return of the series, and what can fans expect to see from these new chapters that hasn't been explored in the world of Wonder Woman '77?
I love telling tales in this world and hope to tell many more of them. Fans can expect lots of fun villains we never got to see on TV due to budget constraints — and lots of spinning into costumes.
Wonder Woman '77 chapter 15, "Claymates" part 2 of 2, by written by Marc Andreyko with art by Richard Ortiz and Christian Duce, will be available for download Monday via the DC Comics App, ReadDCEntertainment.com, iBooks, comiXology.com, Google Play, Kindle Store, Nook Store, and iVerse ComicsPlus. Cover by Nicola Scott with Annette Kwok. See and exclusive sneak peek at the chapter below.

Alex Cross chases a cold-blooded killer…with a conscience.
Shots ring out in the early morning hours in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. When the smoke clears, a prominent police official lies dead, leaving the city's police force scrambling for answers.
Under pressure from the mayor, Alex Cross steps into the leadership vacuum to investigate the case. But before Cross can make any headway, a brutal crime wave sweeps across the region. The deadly scenes share only one common thread – the victims are all criminals. And the only thing more dangerous than a murderer without a conscience, is a killer who thinks he has justice on his side.
As Cross pursues an adversary who has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, he must take the law back into his own hands before the city he's sworn to protect descends into utter chaos.

According to sources, a team of district officials carried out the raid in the jail following a tip-off that Shahabuddin was using mobile phones to influence the ongoing Bihar Assembly polls.
Three SIM cards and two chargers were also seized. (ANI)

WASHINGTON -- Think taking aspirin can prevent a heart attack? It can reduce some risk -- but not for everybody. The distinction is costing Bayer Corp. $1 million, the tab for a consumer education program announced Tuesday to settle government charges that Bayer's advertising oversold aspirin's benefits.
''Aspirin is not appropriate for everyone, so be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen,'' say the full-page ads Bayer must run in four national magazines between February and May.
Bayer also will distribute free consumer brochures titled ''Aspirin Regimen Therapy: Is it right for you?''
The settlement aims to clear up confusion about who can truly benefit from taking aspirin daily.
The Federal Trade Commission charged that a series of Bayer ads made unsubstantiated claims that regular aspirin use could help the general population prevent heart attacks and strokes.
In fact, while aspirin can be a powerful heart protector for some people at high risk of a heart attack or stroke -- and also can reduce the risk of death during a suspected heart attack -- it's not recommended for just anyone.
There is little evidence that it prevents a heart attack in someone who doesn't already have vascular disease, said Dr. Rodman Starke of the American Heart Association.
It has side effects that can harm some people.
And the dose for heart patients isn't the same as what people pop for a headache.
That's why the Food and Drug Administration insists aspirin therapy for heart attacks and strokes be done under the direction of a doctor -- and why the FTC carefully checked for accuracy the $1 million consumer education campaign Bayer is running to settle the charges.
''Some people have conditions that aspirin may make worse,'' Bayer acknowledges in the consumer brochures. It adds: ''For healthy people without any symptoms of heart disease, the risks of an aspirin regimen may outweigh the benefits.''
In addition, Bayer will pay $30,000 to both New York and Connecticut to settle similar state charges.
The message is ''very simple: Talk to your doctor,'' said Dr. George Sopko, a National Institutes of Health cardiologist, who worries Bayer's earlier ads implied simply taking aspirin, instead of dieting and exercising, was enough therapy. ''Aspirin is only part of it. It is not 'the' therapy.''
The settlement actually surprised the heart association's Starke, who said he saw the ads and didn't consider them terribly misleading -- but welcomed the consumer campaign.
''It is going to promote the use of aspirin in those people who should be on it, and protect those who shouldn't be,'' he said.
Consumers can get the free brochures by calling 1-800-332-2253.

I have four of these and all but one are really struggling. I haven't tested the soil yet, but suspect that winter protection might be critical, because the one that does bloom is somewhat 'nestled'. Just an observation. They are in full sun, which should be ok. Anybody have any suggestions? What time of year would it be ok to possibly move them?
On May 22, 2010, kittenzzz from Canada, KY wrote:
This plant grows beautifully here and is an extremely reliable bloomer! Maybe because some of its ancestors are native to this part of the south-central Appalachian Mountains. It grows quickly once established. It grows much better when it has deep, moist, well-drained soil, morning sun, and filtered afternoon shade, and it likes its roots to be shaded by a mulch or, better yet, groundcover or moss. It's pretty forgiving as long as it doesn't stand in water or scorch to death all day in unrelenting sun.

How to quit without giving up
"Don't be a quitter!"
I'll never forget that motivational speaker standing in front of my middle school class preaching, "Quitters never win and winners never quit!"
As we squirmed on those rickety gymnasium bleachers we couldn't wait to show the world what we were made of. We all had dreams of becoming something great. The room seemed to be full of future doctors, lawyers, super heroes, professional athletes and Olympic gold medalists.
We were told that we could be anything we wanted to be as long as we didn't quit. Later that day, my dreams were shattered. My best friend and I were talking about what we heard and I asked him what he was going to be when he grew up, he said, "The richest man in the world".
What!? You can't be that!
Why not he asked.
Because, that's what I'm going to be!
That day my buddy and I uncovered a flaw in the motivational guys message. We couldn't be whatever we wanted to be. As our middle school minds reasoned: "What if everyone wanted to be the richest person in the world? There are like a bazillion people in the world and only one of them will get to be the richest.
There will be a whole lot of disappointed people. What if a bazillion people want to be the same thing I want to be? Man, this is exhausting, I'd rather just play video games."
As an adult, I've realized that quitting is awesome. It kept me from doing things I didn't want to do and has saved me a lot of time and money.
I found that not quitting can be very stressful not to mention expensive. In my business as well as my personal life, I've realized that I can quit without giving up by implementing three primary quitting principles. I see these principles as mathematical miracles. They will add time to my life, multiply the money in my life and divide the stress of my life.
Principle #1: Don't confuse principle with practice. There are some things that are not up for quitting consideration. Anything that compromises my character erodes my relationships or diminishes my faith. Methods in business can change on a dime, but character and principles are non-negotiable.
Principle #2: Don't let sunk cost sink you. It's easy to get emotional about an investment that isn't holding up its end of the bargain. We tend to hold on in hopes that things will turn around. This shows up in employees who are clearly not a fit, locations that are not producing, inventory that isn't turning. The list goes on and on. When you realize you are not getting your investment back, focus on the best investment for your future, rather than the loss of your past investment. Quit as early as possible.
Principle #3: Celebrate non-fatal errors. Ask anyone who works with me and they will tell you I find great opportunity in making non-fatal errors. I make a lot of them. But when I do, I make sure they are non-fatal. Testing and experimenting is the key to success in business.
I heard Dave Ramsey once say that if his employees weren't moving around enough to knock something over every once in a while, they probably weren't working hard enough. Small changes end up equaling big profits.
Bottom line, quitting is saying no to things that aren't best for your business. Every "no" is an opportunity to say yes to something better.
So go ahead and quit. It may be the best decision you've ever made.

This time of year, articles about marketing trends start to appear. From what I've read so far I think everybody agrees on one thing: connecting with today's consumer is more challenging than ever before. Brands must engage in ongoing two-way dialogue with their target audiences. The brand experience has now evolved into something driven by engagement and share-ability.
Best selling author Rohit Bhargava has curated a list of new business trends to watch in the coming year. Here are two trends that will impact marketers in 2014. To find out more, check out Rohit's website: 15Trends.com
#1: Branded Utility. Companies are starting to create content that incorporates meaningful solutions for consumers, essentially combining marketing and operations activities to increase consumer engagement. An example Rohit used to demonstrate this is a new Charmin app called "sit or squat," which directs consumers to the cleanest bathrooms when they are away from home. While there isn't any effort designed to specifically educate the consumer about Charmin, the app provides consumers with valuable and helpful information, and in so doing, creates a positive association with the brand. Two recent best-selling books have popularized this trend, Youtility by Jay Baer and CTRL ALT DELETE by Mitch Joel.
#2: Non-Digital Connoisseurs. Truly enthusiastic consumers want original experiences and are paying top-dollar to get it. An example of this is vinyl record purchases, which despite imperfections are often preferred over the digitally engineered alternative. This desire to have original products has been around for a long time in certain categories (e.g., people who buy vintage cars) but the interest is expanding into other categories and into younger demographic groups.

Don't Be a Turkey, Buckle Up
Contributed by Lora Stead
The Thanksgiving holiday offers a delightful tradition of remembering all we have to be grateful for. My list includes chocolate-covered cinnamon bears, Bikram Yoga, mountains, a sweet husband and seat belts. As the holiday season approaches and roads get slick, we can't afford to skip out on seat belts. Though more people buckle up than not, I have heard many turkey excuses from those who don't:
• I forget
• I'm only going down the street
• I'm with a safe driver
• The seat belt wrinkles my clothes
• It's not big enough for me
• I'm not going very fast
• My car doesn't have seat belts
• I would rather die than be seriously injured
• I don't like someone telling me I have to wear it
• I don't want to be trapped in a car
• It's uncomfortable
• It's safer not to have it on
• Nothing's ever going to happen to me
Here's the truth:
You are 70 percent more likely to survive a crash and be uninjured when properly buckled. Would you be concerned if your spouse, child or best friend took that risk? So why would you?
There is no excuse for not buckling up. Don't be a turkey this Thanksgiving and buckle up, every time, every drive.
Holiday Prankvertising, Hunkvertising and Manvertising
Holiday advertisements start running the day after Halloween and don't stop until after Christmas. And every year we whine about how early holiday ads are airing. "Seriously? They are airing already?" Yes, just like they did last year and the year before. I like to think of holiday ads as the female-targeted counterpart to Super Bowl ads. Of course, to break out of the clutter, many companies are trying to find out-of-the-box ways to get their holiday messaging across. Here are some techniques that are already prominent this season.
Prankvertising: While Toys "R" Us has yet to launch any official holiday season TV spots, it did come out with a primer ad at the end of October. It got the toy store chain in front of its target audience without bringing up the fact that the holidays are around the corner. It took a group of real kids and pranked them (check out the video here), resulting in a very genuine reaction. Toys "R" Us has actually received a lot of negative feedback about the ad, which is being called "anti-science" and is "teaching kids to hate nature." The kids' reactions are adorable and totally relatable for most moms. As much as I love the outdoors as an adult, as a kid, I would have given my left arm to skip the hike and go to Toys "R" Us. If you don't remember what that feels like, then you might need a vacation. This ad is the most viewed video that Toys "R" Us has on YouTube, beating its next closest video out by over 200,000 views.
Hunkvertising: Kmart recently released its first holiday advertisement "Show Your Joe," which features a hand bell choir made up of hunks. This isn't the first time that Hunkvertising has been used to target the female demographic. You can find other forms of it popping up all over the place, just take a look at Kraft Foods. This form of advertising isn't loved by all, but it's unique, and puts a funny spin on the average holiday ads. Kmart has 1,284,052 likes on Facebook but most of its posts only average about 100 interactions (likes, posts or shares). The "Show Your Joe" ad has 3,896 interactions, showing us that Hunkvertising has an impact on Kmart's demographic.
Manvertising: Most holiday ads target women because they are most often the ones purchasing the gifts for the family. Of course there are jewelry and car ads that target men during the holiday season but what about brands that need to target men and have nothing to do with gift purchasing? This year, Coke Zero has put out a Holiday Sweater Generator, which allows you to "Harness the power of a thousand grandmothers in the palm of your internet." (Check out my design above.) The user creates the design and their friends can vote for it by signing in through their social media networks. The winner will receive a manufactured version of the sweater they designed. It seems to be a great way to get that male demographic interacting on Facebook and Twitter, reminding their friends about Coke Zero during the holiday season. Although Facebook user demographics are almost equal number of men to number of women, men are much less likely to interact (Pew Research). This might explain why, despite having 5.7 million likes, the Coke Zero page has a very small amount of follower interaction. Hopefully the sweater generator will up its activity.

Off Hours: Sheepdoggin'
Sheepdoggin from Eric Larson on Vimeo.
Contributed by Patty Clark
Eric Larson, also known as Lars around the office, is a man of many passions. Alongside being one the talented art directors and designers in the office, he also makes a wicked cup of coffee, the reputation of which you may have already heard of if you've been in the office. But after hours, one of Lars' biggest passions is sheepherding.
"Sheepherding is really intense. It's a complex sport. You have to be obsessed in order to compete. It's so hard, but also addicting."
Lars has eight dogs in total, with three currently competing, two in training, and the rest retired or kept as pets. He participates in sheepherding competitively, which involves training his dogs at least three to four times a week with sheep, and sometimes more training sessions without sheep, such as obedience training.
Here's a video Lars made of his dogs in training.
Lars watched his first competition at Soldier Hollow, and was "super amazed" at what he saw people could get their dogs to do. So he bought a dog, started training and found some people to help him along the way. He's been doing this for nine years, and now, he's the one people come to for help.
An example of an event at a sheepherding competition is called the outrun. With the sheep sometimes 400 yards away, the dog must run around to the back of the sheep without disturbing them. Then they must get them to return to the owner in a straight line. Dogs must be able to line up the sheep and separate specific sheep from the rest, and finish by getting them into a pen. Lars says the sheep used in these trials have often never seen a sheepherding dog before, nor have they been led into the pen as done during the trial. The dogs are able to use their eyes to guide and move the sheep, a sort of "jedi mind trick," according to Lars.
Lars has won several pro-novice competitions with his dog Rex, and even won first place at Hotchkiss. Since then, Lars has retired Rex and is now working with newer dogs who are at about the middle of the pack, including Gin, Coy, Remi, Fern and Jaff. He has several dogs because each have strengths in different areas.
"You have to try different ones because they need to match your personality. If they don't fit, then you need to find the right person for them. That's the right thing to do. It wouldn't be right for me to hang on to a dog if it's a bad fit."
Lars also has 14 sheep that he trains the dogs with. A good sheepherding dog is worth about 20 men when you're in livestock management.
"If I could, I would be a rancher. That sounds like my kind of fun. But I don't think I can ever give up art direction and design. Animals aren't the easiest to deal with in photo shoots."
6 Questions to Ask Before a Social Media Campaign
Contributed by Jane Putnam
Research, strategy and planning are vital to any social media campaign. Use these six questions in the planning process to ensure your campaign is buttoned up and ready to be a success.
1. What is the purpose of using social media for this campaign or product?
Yes, it seems basic, but it's so important to always tie it back to the "why" social media makes sense for this particular campaign or product. If you can't explain why social media is the right medium, you may need to rethink the plan or approach.
2. How will social media contribute to or benefit the overall communication efforts?
Simply put, identify and put into writing the benefit of the social media campaign or efforts. This can be a restatement of your goal.
3. What do you hope to achieve with social media? Inform? Educate? Encourage dialogue? Sell products? Share information?
This will guide the campaign from start to finish and will help in campaign measurement.
4. What will your audiences come to your social media channels to get (e.g., coupons, conversation, etc.)? What does your audience look to you to provide?
Decide what unique offerings you bring or have to offer to your community, and build upon that.
5. What is the staffing plan?
This includes set up, monitoring, responding, community management and analysis. Social media never sleeps, so this calls for weekend and after-hours work too.
6. How will you measure the campaign?
Determine metrics needed to meet the goals and objectives. Consider what resources and tools, including third-party apps and analytics, you'll need. Also, at what intervals during the campaign do you need reports or measurements?
PPBH's Pioneer of Digital Marketing
Our Interactive Director, Mitch Vice recently celebrated his 10-year anniversary with PPBH and we think that's kind of a big deal. In fact, Mitch had worked at Proclix Interactive with Partner, Mike Brian for years before coming to PPBH. There, they were pioneering the digital marketing and communication era. Mitch helped invent and design a lot of award-winning applications and technical executions that had never been seen anywhere before. His skill set is very broad and ranges from design to interactive. Mike calls him the "go-to guy when it comes to making something work." He said, "It may be a concept that is completely new to him, but he always figures it out and creates something flawless."
The main loves of Mitch's life are his family and cars. And when I say cars, I mean Fords, they are the true American car, he doesn't really believe in any other make. Mitch also loves Apple products, he is the proud owner of several older models including the Clam Shell and the Newton. Speaking of the 80s, Mitch is a huge Eddie Van Halen fan and is a great musician himself. He plays multiple instruments and is fighting like crazy to keep the late 80s alive.
Mitch's experience and work ethic are invaluable to PPBH and we are excited to celebrate his 10 years here.
"You look long and hard to find someone that fits a specific mold in your life and career. I know that if my house caught on fire and I threw my kids out the window, that Mitch would catch them. Of anyone I have ever worked with, I have always known that Mitch would be there, and that he would be able to help."
– Mike Brian
Finding New Cheese
I hate to exhaust a business cliché but the quirky tale of two mice and two "little people" searching for cheese (happiness and success) in a maze applies perfectly to the evolving communications field. While the story itself is only about 50 pages of large print, "Who Moved My Cheese" is a best seller because it helps people, especially business people, think more deeply about how to predict and adapt to change. Here is what I imagine the story's four characters—Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw—would whisper in our ears during client meetings and strategy brainstorms.
Sniff – "This cheese won't last forever. Always sniff out new cheese."
Sniff noticed early that there was a limited amount of cheese in the first "cheese station" he found. Knowing this, he was the first to venture back into the maze to find more cheese, long before his "cheese station" ran out. In the last decade communicators have noticed that online news changed how print and television media could work, mobile devices changed how people advertise and social media changed the way public relations professionals pitch stories. Firms that prepare for such changes are most successful.
Scurry – "Avoid paralysis by analysis and get moving."
While Hem and Haw were over analyzing why their cheese had run out, Scurry and Sniff were already searching for new cheese and found it long before Hem and Haw did. Like Martin Luther King said, "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." Sometimes trying to find the perfect solution can paralyze you and corrections needed aren't obvious until you take your first step.
Hem – "Don't get cocky in times of plenty. Manage your peaks and valleys."
Hem became complacent in his routine of getting cheese from the same "cheese station" every day. His attitude of passive entitlement kept him in a cheese-less state for longer than anyone else in the maze. You need to find ways to preserve cheese and still look for new cheese when it's plentiful. You will not be capable of finding new cheese until you understand that you are not entitled to it and it will not be served to you by a polished butler on a silver platter—you have to find it yourself.
Haw – "Imagine yourself with new cheese and enjoy it when you find it."
In the book, Haw learns how to imagine himself with new cheese before he found it and to laugh at himself. This helped him enjoy looking for the cheese and reduced his fear of looking stupid and failing. Haw asked himself, "What would you do if you weren't afraid?" Don't let fear get in the way of enjoying your job and being awesome at it.
No communications firm or person can do well without being able to foresee and adapt to change. The book says it like this, "If you do not change, you can become extinct!" Let us know what helps you predict and adjust to change.

Ryobi's new Dockit storage system is a clever idea and probably one that is headed to a garage workshop near you. It's a simple, common sense solution to the age old question, "where the hell did I put my drill bits?" The customizable system centers around a wall mounted carriage and relatively small, specifically organized bit and driver boxes that sit in said carriage. They sent on a sample for me to check out and the plain truth is that I really like it.
There's a lot to like, really. First, the separate bit boxes are all clearly labeled with what's in them, so when the cases are on the dock, it's easy to grab the one you're looking for. And there are all kids of cases available. The dock comes with the 55-piece drilling and driving kit, which is total standard issue, filled with the most used bits and driver tips. That one is about $20 (or you can just get the dock for $10). From there, you can add a hole saw set, a specialty driving set, or a wood drilling set. Those are the ones listed at the Ryobi site, but you be sure that in the coming months there will be more.
I like that it gives a "grab-what-you-need" option. If I'm going to just pre-drill a few holes in a bookshelf, I don't need to lug around a small hole saw kit. Along with this is the easy and ready storage option of the dock. I can get a little cluttered in the shop (ok, a lot cluttered), so having a pre-arranged spot to land my drill bit case is worth its weight in gold. Otherwise, I'd just dump it on the work bench and "get to it later."
As for the quality of the bits, I have no complaints. Are there better bits in the world, probably. Are there worse bits in the world, definitely. Bits occasionally break and they need to be replaced, that's what they do. I think that some people get a little too fired up about bit quality. If these are taken care of and properly used, they should last a good while.
At Home Depot. The other bit sets are listed here (the top four), you can search them at HD with the product number. Right now, I'm, just too lazy to link them all out.

Fact: The Book of Mormon is currently published in less than one percent of the world's languages.
Fact: According to one estimate, it takes somewhere between four and ten years to translate the Book of Mormon, about five years to translate fifteen tracts and the missionary discussions.
Fact: If we translate the Book of Mormon into four new languages a year, it will take nearly forty years to cover only the languages spoken by groups of one million people or more—and there are more than 3,000 spoken languages and major dialects.
A key to making it happen faster may be the Translation Sciences Institute at Brigham Young University, where they are working on two different problems simultaneously: (1) computer word processing and translation aids, and (2) interactive computer translation.
Getting the words from one page in English to another page in Spanish is not a simple process. A translator has to convert the text from one language to another; his draft is typed; he proofreads and corrects; it is typed again, it is reviewed and retyped, reviewed again and retyped, proofread, typeset, proofread again, and printed. At any stage, errors can be introduced. And all of these steps take time.
At BYU's Translation Sciences Institute, another process is under study—word processing. That means that a translator takes the original document and types his translation directly into the computer, following his process on a screen above the keyboard. He can proofread, edit, and correct as he translates. If a word doesn't need to be changed, it will never be typed again and, hence, can never be misspelled. He can add, delete, or change letters, words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or even pages.
When he is finished, he simply records the translated document on a cassette tape or computer disc. His reviewers, using the same kind of terminal, can make all their own changes without altering the parts that should stay the same. The computer will also typeset it. TSI did not invent word processing (newspapers use it too) but TSI pioneered its use for translation in conjunction with the Church's Translation Services.
Results? Actual translation still takes the same amount of time, but the other steps can be done so quickly that it decreases the total time by almost exactly half. And, since a computer works so quickly, the savings in money are equally dramatic.
Can anything be done to decrease the translation time itself? Yes. One of the current projects is an instantaneous retrieval system that will call to the video screen the dictionaries and all translated scriptures, which now have to be laboriously found one at a time.
Some helps that are now ready to be used are a system that will represent the accent marks of most languages, and the ability to print 10,000 Chinese characters, plus the development of analytical concordances for the standard works. Under development is a system for editing Chinese—to their knowledge one of the few such projects in the world.
The second major focus is one that sounds like science fiction—interactive computer translation. This means that the human operator "guides" the computer through the translation process, and BYU's Translation Sciences Institute is the only major center in the country where it is functioning. BYU's Institute has received international recognition for its pioneering efforts. Traditionally, one of the problems that has always hampered computer translation is that the machine does not know what to do with ambiguities, colloquial phrases, and grammatical peculiarities. Dr. Eldon Lytle, associate professor of linguistics and director of the institute, developed a language system called Junction Grammar which "instructs" the computer concerning the relationship between the various parts of the sentence and also "tells" it what the equivalent would be in the language it is being translated into. It creates its structural representation in the computer and generates a corresponding structure in the target language.
And when an ambiguity comes up that the machine does not know what to do with, it stops and asks the operator a question. (The human operator working with the computer at this stage is highly trained in English, the language of origin.) When the ambiguity is resolved, the computer finishes its processing and produces a draft translation.
Then the translation is reviewed by a native speaker of the target language at a video terminal that shows both English and target language. Thus a human operator makes the final decisions about the meaning of the original text and the translation, and each is primarily responsible for the subtleties of his own language. This double expertise inevitably produces more accurate interpretations.
Just how accurate are these translations? An independent evaluation by Sperry Univac Corporation (a computer firm) in June 1977 showed about 96 percent technical accuracy in grammar, word selection, and completeness. When all of the systems are operative, accuracy will rise even higher. TSI will start with five languages—English to German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Chinese. Since all five translations can be made simultaneously and since much less editing will be required after translation, a project that used to take five hours should be done in two.

From the author of the "lively and spirited" (Providence Journal) Wine Country Mysteries comes the first in a new series featuring a savvy female photographer whose husband's abduction embroils her in the world of international espionage and lost Romanov art treasures.
When photojournalist Sophie Medina returns to London from anoverseas assignment, she discovers that her husband Nick, a geologist and covert CIA operative, has been abducted. Three months later she is shocked when a friend in the British government says Nick was spotted in Moscow and is now notonly a suspect in his boss' murder but also potentially involved in illicit Russian oil deals. With her every move now closely watched, Sophie moves to Washington, DC, to be with family and friends.
There Sophie is drawn deeper into Nick's shadowy world. While photographing an exhibit of two never-before-seen Fabergé imperial eggs at the National Gallery of Art, Sophie is confronted by a Russian oil tycoon, implicating her former husband. On the run from Nick's enemies, Sophie plays a high-stakes game of Russian roulette as she tries to determine friend from foe and prove her husband's innocence.
Weaving together political intrigue, art history, and espionage, this fast-paced story marks the start of a promising new series.

Flawed plot, and I don't enjoy the narrator
Sophie keeps making bad decisions in my opinion. Why wouldn't she report when her apartment is ransacked?? There are leaps of faith and streaks of naiveté. I wasn't buying the whole pretense.
I thought the attempt at accents was pretty bad. Why did the DC photographer sound like he was from the Bronx? The Boston accent was hardly "Harvard Yard", more Revere! I was continuously put off by the voices and accents.

Chennai, Mar 21 (UNI) Election Commissioner Navin Chawla today said the date for holding election to Karnataka Assembly would be decided within ten days after a meeting of the Election Commission.
Talking to newspersons at the airport here, he said the meeting would be held soon after Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswami arrives from his tour.
''The poll panel has clarified that it will take time to complete the technicalities related to redrawing of maps of the Assembly and the Parliamentary constituencies,'' he said adding ''the polls will be held after delimitation of the constituencies in Karnataka.'' Mr Chawla said since there was no law and order problem in Karnataka, the election would be held soon.

As post-election protests swelled across America and grew violent enough that there were shootings and injuries reported, CBS sat on a clip of President-elect Donald Trump urging calm.
CBS News under fire for holding clip of Trump telling supporters not to attack minorities: https://t.co/KsDnS0e13Q pic.twitter.com/KWz256J70g
— The Hill (@thehill) November 14, 2016
On Friday, Lesley Stahl of CBS interviewed Trump for a 60 Minutes segment that was to air Sunday night.
Advertisement - story continues below
In advance of the show, CBS released one clip of the interview. Instead of releasing Trump's call for restraint from his supporters and his appeal for those uneasy about his presidency to feel at ease, CBS released a comment about Trump's plans for Obamacare.
"We chose to release a quote on the issue that affects the most Americans & that was his statement on Obamacare," a CBS representative told CNN Monday.

Kai Ryssdal, host of the business program Marketplace, called that reasoning "completely underwhelming."

"Another embarrassing display of journalism from the mainstream media," wrote Andrew Mark Miller of Young Conservatives.
"People are rioting in the streets for almost a week over Donald Trump and CBS withholds a clip of him urging the country to take a deep breath," he wrote. "Really, really sad."
Many people on Twitter agreed.
CBS gets Trump to say stop it (PRESIDENTIAL!) to his crazy followers and SITS ON IT FOR 48 HOURS. CBS deserves whatever punishment he doles.

— Archie Bland (@archiebland) November 14, 2016
During the interview, Trump spoke out strongly, urging Americans in fear after his election to better understand him and his plans.
"I would tell them don't be afraid, absolutely," Trump said when asked about Americans unsettled by the election.
Trump said protesters are afraid "because they don't know me."
Advertisement - story continues below
"Don't be afraid," Trump said to those who opposed him. "We are going to bring our country back. But certainly, don't be afraid."
Trump said he was aware of small-scale instances where there was violence between his supporters and others, but he was not aware of what Stahl said was extensive harassment of blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and gays.
"I am very surprised to hear that — I hate to hear that, I mean I hate to hear that," Trump said.
Stahl asked Trump is he wanted to speak to any supporters who are attacking others.
"I would say don't do it, that's terrible, because I'm going to bring this country together," Trump said.
"And I say, stop it. If it — if it helps. I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it," the president-elect said.
Trump also noted that the protesters are not being criticized the way they would be it they were his supporters.
"If Hillary had won and if my people went out and protested, everybody would say, 'Oh, that's a terrible thing.' And it would have been a much different attitude. There is a different attitude. You know, there is a double standard here," he said.

Russian cop casually pulls a gun and shoots colleague in the head while on duty
THIS is the shocking moment a killer Russian police officer pulled out his gun and carefully pointed it at his colleague's head before pulling the trigger.
The incident has happened in Russia's capital city of Moscow when Sergey Ruchkin, 26, a police sergeant who was a member of the Russian National Guard, shot and killed chief sergeant Nikita Pavlutin, 27.
The CCTV footage shows Ruchkin standing together with several other police officers in what appears to be a police station gun room.
Officers are seen handling their guns and putting them on safety.
Ruchkin is seen looking around to make sure no one is watching, and as soon as all of his colleagues were standing with their backs turned he stretched out his arm and shot Pavlutin in the head at point-blank range.
"I will cooperate, I am not going to try and hide what I did. I accept it, and I have to live with it"Sergey Ruchkin
As the victim slumps to the floor and the other officers turn round in shock, Ruchkin calm stands to the side.
Pavlutin died on the way to hospital.
Russian Guard officials initially claimed that the shooting was an accident, until the video was leaked online and they changed their statement.
As to the motive, police admit they are at the moment completely baffled and have said the killer officer is to undergo a psychological evaluation.
They will also be carrying out tests to see whether he had been using drugs.
There are also likely to be sanctions for his superior officers who had initially tried to claim that it was an accident.
Ruchkin had also initially claimed it was an accident, but then while being taken to court in the wake of the CCTV footage being released, he suddenly burst into tears and made a full confession, according to reports.
He said: "I will cooperate, I am not going to try and hide what I did. I accept it, and I have to live with it."
He also said he wants to financially support the family of the officer he killed.
The dead man was married with a wife and two children, and his widow said that the first she knew about what happened was when she saw a report on the local TV news.
She said she had never seen Ruchkin before and had no idea why he would want to kill her husband who had been working as a police officer for seven years.
