Write, Never Marry, and Other Love Advice from Simone de Beauvoir's Editor
An interview with acclaimed writer and editor Diana Athill shortly after her 99th birthday.
Diana's publicist and I had been haggling for months over an interview date. The Christmas holidays and my travel dates, coupled with the 99-year-old Diana's protracted flu and the case of her dentures being mistaken for trash at the hospital, meant four months went by until we finally met.
Diana sat opposite me, her sparkling eyes matching her gleaming new teeth. We were in her bright, cluttered room in the suburb of Highgate, an affluent London neighborhood now scattered with empty Russian homes. Pink magnolia blossoms peeked through the window. "My magnolias," she said, chuckling. Stacks of books and manuscripts sent by hopeful writers and friends adorned all surfaces; Diana's precious advice remains highly respected and sought after.
Diana Athill is a revered editor, having worked with Simone de Beauvoir, Margaret Atwood, Jack Kerouac, and many others over her decades-long career. She was a prolific writer, too. Diana's unconventional life choices are reflected in her bawdy and humorous memoirs and short stories. She just published her latest memoir, A Florence Diary, a charming recollection of her 1947 holiday to Italy. Diana never married nor had any children, except for a miscarriage she had while living with Jamaican playwright Barry Reckord, which she's spoken of quite candidly. Her notorious romantic partners include Waguih Ghali, a depressed Egyptian writer who committed suicide in her flat, and Hakim Jamal, an American radical and cousin of Malcolm X. Suffice to say, Diana has had an eventful life.
Over the course of three hours, Diana, with her strong Rs and dramatic pauses, guides me through her unbridled and honest views on politics, greed, love, and writing. Age has neither made her soft nor wistful; she maintains the same cheerful yet prosaic temperament evident in her writing. This should not give the impression that she is jaded, merely pragmatic. In person she is a balm, her thought-provoking words as therapeutic as they are instructive.
On a somber day after the Westminster attack in London, so goes our conversation:
Anya Raza: You've lived through many conflicts: WWII, the Cold War, IRA bombings. Do you feel like things have gotten worse recently?
Diana Athill: They have. Before World War II began, there was a terrible feeling in the air. One knew that war was coming. Now I have not quite the same ominous feeling, but I rationally think that this business of West and East is going to get worse. I'm glad, to tell the truth, that I shan't be alive for very much longer. I personally don't want to see what's going to happen next.
WWII was very dangerous, but in a different way. It was very disagreeable, but it wasn't so frightening because you could understand it. You knew that when the war ended, it was going to be over. Mind you, it went on for six years, and I can remember thinking, Oh, God, I wonder if this is never going to end. But then when it finally was over, there was this wonderful feeling of everything being OK.
AR: Does this mean you were interested in politics?
DA: Not as much as I should have been. I wasn't really by nature a political person. When I was at Oxford, all of us knew that England was in a bad way. That there was a great deal of unfair poverty and dreadful things happening to coal miners. The politically minded among us thought that the answer would be communism, and they all became communists. I didn't refrain from becoming a communist for any really intelligent reason. Well, there was one bit of intelligent reason: I did not like the teaching that "the end justified the means," which you were supposed to adopt if you became a communist. I thought it was very dangerous and wrong. But basically I didn't become a communist because I was a frivolous and idle girl, and I thought it would be a lot of hard work and not much fun.
AR: [Laughs.] I'm sure no one held it against you.
DA: Sometimes I feel rather ashamed of myself. I feel as if I walked by and didn't stop and think. It's too late now. I'd like to have been one of those ladies who was tying themselves to fences of American camps during the war. I was pleased when people marched, I approved of them marching, but I didn't do it myself. I think that it's no good saying, "Oh, it's futile, so I won't do it," then it does become more futile, so one should do it! I ought to write an article called "Walking By," a guilt article. I think I will do that one last small little squeak to speak out, looking back.
AR: So you do think collective action can influence politics and society as a whole?
DA: I think that really it's the only thing that can be done, so it should be done, and I'm ashamed I didn't do it. People nowadays are all becoming so money-minded, so materialistic. Greed is very, very powerful. Greed is the worst thing.
AR: Greed seems to be the dominant motivator for most people, unfortunately. Moving on to something more cheerful — fears. When you were younger, did you have a fear of something that now, when you look back, you can see it was unfounded?
DA: When I was at school, I remember my headmistress saying to me, when I was being very lazy, "You have to be prepared, perhaps you have to earn your living." I said, "I'm going to get married." She said, "You may not, you know. There aren't that many free men about." And I was shocked! I thought, How can she say anything so awful?! I suppose I was frightened of the idea of not getting married.
AR: I think a lot of young women still have that fear.
DA: I think they do. I think that it still feels that you failed in some way. Failure, which is sad and foolish.
AR: But life had something different in store with you. What role did men play in your life when it became clear you weren't going to get married?
DA: Oh, very important! I didn't think in terms of settling with one. By my 40s, I hadn't the least wish to get married as long as I had a nice chap to live with. I think that without my knowing it, the fact that my parents' marriage was unhappy had rather taken the bloom off marriage for me. I liked men, but I didn't trust most men. I think I had a pretty severe blow about men when my first love left me for someone else.
I do know that if I stopped and looked at myself and said, "What is my life?," I would have said to myself, "It is a life of failure." Simply because I'd grown up in a family and at a time when my job was to get married and have children, and I had failed.
AR: It must be so hard when you experience betrayal to trust men again.
DA: Well, you see, I didn't, really. I fell madly in love still, but that was just physical. It didn't stop me falling in love. Didn't stop me having affairs, and I liked men. I enjoyed having affairs; they cheered me up a lot. Until I met Barry, I did not trust anyone enough to think: This is it. Barry never actually in all those years said "I love you." What he did say once, I remember this vividly, we had been dancing together, and he said, "Do I love you?" I thought I could safely say, "Yes, darling, you do." It was such a nice moment, because he did.
AR: That sounds terribly romantic. Do you think dating has changed since when you were younger?
DA: I think people are more sensible now. Mind you, I think an awful lot of people who don't actually marry but live together are doing exactly the same thing. Which is, when you come to think of it, a pretty mad thing — spending your whole life with another person so much on top of them! Not easy at all! Men are very peculiar. You know we share DNA with chimpanzees and bonobos? One of the things in a chimpanzee's way of life is that there's the male, surrounded with females, which exist for him, entirely. That's very, very convenient to the male.
I have a theory that as we evolved, men really chose to hang on to that bit of being an ape. It's all they're doing, really. They're still being apes. Whereas I think women perhaps changed much more, because chimp ladies can only mate when they come on heat. In between, they are busy looking after the babies and grooming their gentlemen, whereas human ladies now can mate at any time. I think it was a mistake, actually. I don't think we ought to have wanted that. I think it may have been that we were trying to escape from the male domination. The male wanted to hang on, and they've succeeded in hanging on. The female, on the whole, has been rather feebly wanting to escape ever since, possibly.
AR: So it's in men's DNA to be unfaithful. Do you find stories of infidelity quite common?
DA: Very common. But you see, I am easygoing about just pure physical infidelity. I've come to the conclusion that if given a chance, a man will probably fuck somebody else sooner or later. I would not break up my marriage discovering that my husband, on a trip abroad, had an affair with someone. I would choose not to know. I think. I'm pretty sure.
AR: I suppose you don't believe in monogamy?
DA: I don't, really. I would want to go on being faithful to my husband though, if I liked him. If we were all right together, if we were understanding each other well, sharing the same interests, liking the children, I wouldn't fuss about that. I think that some marriages can survive it. Barry was against marriage. As the years went by, he and I, we stopped being lovers eventually. We ended up just being friends. Then, this is a marvelous piece of luck for me, because then he got this girl, Sally. This time it wasn't a little affair. It was quite a big affair. She was spending most of the time at our place, so I said, "Oh, my dear, why don't you come and live here?" Six years we lived together, all three of us, just as friends. I loved it. She is, to this day, one of my best friends.
People thought that relationship was very odd. They thought that we were mad. But we three really understood each other and knew each other. If Barry and I had still been sleeping together it wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have, of course, accepted it. It would have upset me. But we hadn't been, and I wasn't going to say he couldn't sleep with anybody else because he wasn't sleeping with me. It didn't feel like an emotional betrayal at all. I knew exactly what was happening. I knew why he felt like he felt.
AR: If you could tell younger women a piece of advice when it came to men, what would it be?
DA: I wouldn't say avoid men. I would tell them to not be romantic. Relationships should be based on value and fact, on how you get on, on what things you enjoy together. I think romance has caused more unhappiness almost than anything. People who have these tremendous expectations, they've invested everything in this relationship and are expecting complete happiness. You won't get it.
AR: I suppose the advice that I'm hearing is to be more selfish and pragmatic as a woman. By pursuing one's dreams and happiness, indirectly you're reinforcing the relationship because you're thinking more like an individual. Would you agree?
DA: You can contribute to a relationship by doing something which you like doing and that you're good at, which is important. Provided he thinks it's interesting, of course.
AR: Which brings us to your writing. I'm writing a novel right now, too, actually, my first. How did you start?
DA: I really began to write entirely as a healing exercise. I didn't realize that, but that first book I wrote came out of the blue, a good many years after my unhappiness. I had been living carefully enough, working at a very interesting job, having lots of friends. But all during that time, I do know that if I stopped and looked at myself and said, "What is my life?," I would have said to myself, "It is a life of failure." Simply because I'd grown up in a family and at a time when my job was to get married and have children, and I had failed. There was this underlying thing of failure deeply buried. I didn't sit down and say, "I'm going to write that book." It happened. It was a very uncanny experience, and it came easily. And when it was finished, I was healed.
AR: Purged.
DA: Absolutely. There was no sign of that hidden feeling of being a failure, none at all. I was OK. From then on, I was a happy person. It was quite a long time I thought that healing was the only thing that made me write. But if you're writing that kind of thing, there is absolutely no point in doing it unless you try to get it exactly as it really was. That makes you prepared to say anything. People say, "How can you admit to things that are so shaming or so upsetting?" It was no problem at all. I had to do it because that was part of the procedure.
AR: Were you and Barry very supportive of each other's work?
DA: We were very interested in each other's work. He had a gift, you know. He could write a very witty play, but he became preachy. In his later years, his preaching would creep in obsessively.
AR: Is that the advice that you would give to a young writer?
DA: Avoid preaching. Be honest and don't get obsessed if you can help it. Obsessions don't work.
AR: How do we avoid getting obsessed? Is the answer just get on with it? Finish it?
DA: Get on with it, finish it.

Slowing down the erosion process by protecting current sources of advantage against the actions of competitors.
Investing in new capabilities that form the basis for the next position of competitive advantage.
Level five leadership must be obtained before an overall strategy can be developed
Financial gain is not as important as long term benefit of the company
With the correct management in the correct places, management complications hurting the firm will cease.
Driving success towards a goal, or hedgehog.
Going back to BOS and steering the firm to a blue ocean un dominated by the cut throat business world of today.
Understand technology and the business environment.
What drives you, $?
Products (wine, beer, and spirits)
Customers ( +21, Drinkers, segmented )
Stage in the production-distribution
Intro- High level of uncertainty
Growth- Most intense competition
Mature- Sales growth stagnant
Declining- Industry considered unattractive
Example- Bud Light Lime
1- How valuable is a resource; does it help build and sustain competitive advantage?
2- Is this a unique resource or do other competitors have similar resources?
3- Is the strategic resource easy to imitate?
4- Is the company positioned
to exploit the resource?
First and foremost – Companies are run by and for people
Understanding people's aspirations and concerns and capabilities is key to determine strategic position
Dallas Cowboys
Execs report that their company receives $33 for every $1 invested in employee education
Include a firm's knowledge and intellectual capital base
Reputation with customers partners suppliers and the financial community
Specific competencies processes and skills sets
And its corporate culture
Nature of the Industry
Company's Mission, Goals and Objectives
Current position
Core competencies
Competitors' strategic choices
Low cost
Which one do you choose?
Low cost production and differentiation are mutually exclusive, and when they exist together they result in sustained profitability.
Differentiation can permit a firm to attain a low-cost position.
The possibility of providing both improved quality and lower costs exists within the total quality management framework.
Emerging Industries- presents new opportunities
Ex: Solar energy and Internet technology
Growth Industries- challenges are faced as firms transition to market maturity
Mature and Declining Industries- important to choose balance between differentiation and costs
Fragmented Industries- thriving requires creative strategy
Deregulating Industries- the removal of government rules and regulations that constrain a market force has reshaped several industries
Ex: AT&T quickly reduced prices to high-volume buyers to counter
MCI and Sprints aggressive marketing efforts
Hypercompetitive Industries- companies disrupts the market with quick and innovative change to gain advantage over competitors
- Least understood critical success factor
- "MillerCoors will have more flexibility and resources for brand-building initiatives and increased levels of innovation in taste, product attributes and packaging"
1. Products must be truly innovative
2. Innovative products must be commercialized once one the market
3. Products must be introduced into the market in a timely manner
- To improve performance through innovation: plan synergy between strategy and innovation, and involve customers early and often
Ex: Australia-Mining and US-Agriculture
Include: climate, minerals, skill levels, capital, infrastructure, etc.
1.) Market Drivers: Evolution of customer needs, Global Channels and Transferability
There is an important need to meet customers expectations, Hamburgers in India
2.) Economic Drivers: Nature of the industry, Economies of scale/ location, Differences in country costs
3.)Competitive Drivers: Interdependence between countries/ regions and globalization of competitors
4.)Government Drivers: trade barriers, regulatory climate, and technology/standards
Economies of scale- unit cost of performing an activity decreases as the scale of the activity increases
Economies of scope- when the unit of cost of an activity falls because the asset used is shared with some other activity
Most valuable customers
Most valuable products
Most important channels
Their distinctive capabilities
Defining core is important because there is a tendency to under exploit the full potential.
There is increasing returns to leadership instead of a linear relationship
Molson Coors started defined cost reduction as part of the core. Saving 178 million in 2007
Build Buy or Bond
-Organic or internal growth
-growth through acquisitions
-growth through alliance-based initiatives
MillerCoors alliance started in order to compete with Anheuser Busch
Concentrated growth- a corporation that continues to direct its resources to the profitable growth of a single product category in a well defined market
Vertical integration- if Coors were to buy farms to grow hops
Horizontal integration- if Coors started making and selling Koozies also if they set up a wider number of plants
Diversification strategies- were good at making beer we would be good at making cars
Why would you do this
Sell offs
Spin offs
And liquidations
Early perspective: structure follows strategy -build and set up the company to follow strategy
BCG approach
General electric business screen its resources to the profitable growth of a single product category in a well defined market
-uses long term industry attractiveness
MACS Matrix its resources to the profitable growth of a single product category in a well defined market
-recognizes that a corporations ability to extract value from a business unit should be benchmarked
Plots business on stage of industry's evolution and strength of company's competitive position
Deciding on an overall, theoretically consistent, quantitative methodology for evaluating a complex corporate strategy proposal involving multiple options is not a simple undertaking.
How to run a company will always require keen managerial insight, intuition, and creativity.

Hiking Rescue Near Sourdough's Wall of Death on Tuesday
A woman was rescued from Sourdough Canyon on Tuesday after taking a side hike from a bike ride near the "Wall of Death".
A woman was rescued from Sourdough Canyon on Tuesday after taking a side hike from a bike ride near the "Wall of Death".
Sunday had decent weather and was a great day to enjoy area trails such as Drinking Horse. Although no trauma occurred, a man fell down after losing consciousness and was taken to Bozeman Deaconess.
You don't have to hike a technically difficult trail to get hurt. A broken wrist while hiking on Drinking Horse trail became serious and required a rescue.
A snowmobiler was rescued after his sled went off trail and struck a tree near West Yellowstone today.
photo credit: AMagill via photopin ccThe Lacey Fire Department was called to a house fire where the family was able to make it out safely but there was still more life inside - baby hamsters. Being the true heroes they are each and every day, the firefighters resorted to the Pet Emergency Pocket Guide and fashioned a tiny oxygen mask to save the hamsters. HOW. CUTE. IS THIS?!?
I'm always amazed at how quickly authorities are able to respond!
You can't get much more heroic than rescuing school children from a burning bus. Which is why public school officials and firefighters in Charlotte, North Carolina are raving about school bus driver Lindora Richardson, whose calm in the face of potential catastrophe may have saved the lives of the six children on her bus last Wednesday afternoon.

They did our flower arrangements for our wedding not too long ago. They were stunning!!!!! We received so many compliments. They were wonderful to work with!
I have used Helen Blakey Flowers several times to send flowers around Toronto and I'm never disappointed with their flowers. I always get wonderful feedback and everyone comments after on how long their flowers last. My last order was rushed out because I forgot to place the order and they really saved the day. Thanks to the whole gang!
This is a really great flower shop. My last flower delivery by them to my sister in downtown Toronto was very sophisticated looking, which is what I asked for. As usual it lasted well over the one week they promised it would last. They did a nice big chunky cube vase with an interesting mix of cream and bright green colour flowers and berries. They are just as happy to send my Mom a big vase of mixed carnations, which she loves. I recommended them to my boss a few years ago and she has thanked me for the lead, she's used them many times since. I'm glad to have a local florist I trust and they've never let me or anyone I've refered to them down. Also great website.

Kaye is currently writing her next text book in the "How to Write…" series. Her other ongoing projects include a collection of haiku, a collection of lyric essays and prose poetry as memoir and a long winded decades extended attempt to finish the second book in the Prasanga series.

Ten years ago, as Raymond has mentioned, the Windows 95 team was hiding backstage at the launch event. While memory has faded a little, I believe I was in the red quadrant (the team members were given either a red, green, blue or yellow shirt) listening to the festivities. I was also one of the lucky ones to have received a launch ticket, still unused -- I wonder how many still exist, there are at least two (mine and Raymond's).
Later that evening, my wife and I were out at the store to pick up a few supplies and there were Windows 95 banners hanging everywhere. Back in 1995, I was a bit surprised to see software advertisements in stores other than computer / software stores. It hit me, then, just how big Windows 95 was... I saw shopping carts with clothes, groceries, toys and copies of Windows 95 in them. Very cool.
Before the launch, the team had been given patches (a Start button and a Windows 95 team member logo). I had gotten mine sewn onto a denim jacket. In 1995, while wearing it, I had many many people stop me and comment on how cool Windows was and to say thanks. I had only experienced that one time previously (after MS-DOS 6 shipped and I was wearing a T-Shirt with the logo on it), but never to this extent.
Happy Anniversary, Windows 95!

Clear Space Theatre Company's holiday show, "A Christmas Carol" is ready for its 2012 premiere Friday, Nov. 23, immediately after the tree lighting at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand.
Artistic Director Doug Yetter took time to discuss his own roles with this beloved story. "I began my association with this show nearly 30 years ago, and having tried my hand at nearly every male role in the story - Tiny Tim being the notable exception - I knew that when I reached the 'right' age I wanted the opportunity to play Scrooge. Over the years I have composed the score for three separate versions of the tale and directed it nearly a dozen times, so my association with the story runs deep." The show this year boasts an impressive cast of 27.
The popularity of Charles Dickens' book of 1843 and its thousands of stage adaptations throughout the world appeal because the audience joins the cantankerous Ebeneezer Scrooge on his episodic journey with visitations along the way from the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. Arriving with him at his subsequent destination Scrooge finds transformation and redemption. Tradition is noticeably laced throughout the tale; indeed, the annual holiday greeting of "Merry Christmas" was born in Dickens' 19th century novel.
What is new in this year's stage production? In addition to Yetter's original score and orchestration, with lyrics by Michael Hulett, the audience will be greeted by costumed cast members upon their arrival and escorted to their seats in a charming Victorian village. Look for actors at intermission, too, when they will be selling surprise treats. The thrust stage, installed earlier this year, will bring the audience much closer to the performance. The entire production is under the direction of David Button, the Clear Space Company manager.
Reservations have begun and the box office has scheduled one additional matinee for 11 a.m., Thursday, Dec. 6. Yetter said, "We are adding this show to the run before we open, because the other three weekday matinees have already sold out. We are doing more shows this year than ever before!"
A newer tradition continues at Clear Space on New Year's Eve with "Showstoppers," from 9 p.m. to 12:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 31. The event includes the best of Clear Space's talent in an hour-long show, a live band for dancing fronted by Yetter, a light buffet and dessert bar, and a champagne toast at midnight all for $50. A cash bar will be available.
Reservations for both shows are available through the box office, 302-227-2270 or go to www.ClearSpaceTheatre.org under the heading "Purchase Tickets." Group rates are available.

ANND see the lace collar I am wearing? I MADE IT! hehehe. AND I LOVE IT!! It was inspired by a lace collar that a blogger named Sophie made. Check out her blog Sophie Makes Things, there are some pretty cool things that she creates. When she made hers she used white lace, and originally I was going to do that too, but when I saw that black lace at the store, I just couldn't resist. And it was so cheap too, so why not?! It was simple to make and I'm so so so happy with the results! I encourage everyone to try and make one yourself. I defiantly plan on making various other ones in the future for my many collar needs.
Everything is thrift or hand me down except for the DIY lace collar and hair bow,
and the mystical shiny tights are from Urban Outfitters.

no no, taking off my jacket?
Sorry about the cameras photos though, it is kinda old. My dad got it a year ago because it said it was an "HD cam." HD my ass! There is just no way that this camera takes HD photos, at all! It friggin sucks! Every picture i take is sooo out of focus and blurry. It is so hard to find a decent
photo. Obviously i must be doing something wrong. I don't even know....
BUT I AM IN LUCK! my aunt is going to let me borrow her super amazing camera for the weekend! I am using it for a a project with my friend. It is going to be a little makeup photoshoot that, i think, we are doing tomorrow. Hopefully i will be able to post those pictures up soon. It is going to be a ton of fun!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Do you use foil in preschool activities?
Foil has been a staple in our activity repertoire since we first introduced it three years ago in this Foil and Toys fine motor activity. Foil is an amazing sensory supply because it is so crunchy and provides lots of sensory feedback (auditory, tactile, and even visual stimulation). Crunching up and unwrapping foil also provides great fine motor work. That's why we are bringing foil back for a fine motor preschool activity!
Supplies for Play Food and Foil Activity
- Foil
- Play food
I started by cutting a few different sized sheets of foil from the roll and setting them on a table near the play food. I didn't need to explain the activity too much (my kids have seen me wrap leftovers in foil a bazillion times).
I consider this something of a practical life activity as well (in the hopes that my kids will learn to wrap leftovers in foil as well ;-))
You might also like: A Preschool Investigation of Healthy Foods
My kids carefully picked out the right size foil for each food (estimating and predicting if they would need large or small foil).
Manipulating the foil around the food using small muscles in the fingers was definitely the point of this activity, but it became something of a fun addition and my kids ended up doing some kitchen dramatic play during the activity!
They even made their daddy a sandwich for lunch and carefully wrapped it up for him. So sweet!
Unwrapping the food is just as great of a fine motor activity as wrapping it. And like the original foil activity I did suggested, I gave my kids an opportunity to guess what each foil package contained was before unwrapping it. So much fun wrapped up in one little activity!!

Finolex Pipes Partners With Kushal To Propagate Plumbing Skills in India
Finolex Pipes Partners With Kushal To Propagate Plumbing Skills in India
Posted by
Seema Rathore
on July 20, 2015
On the occasion of World Youth Skills Day, Finolex Pipes, India's largest manufacturer of PVC Pipes, announced its
plan to collaborate with Kushal to improve the skills of the building services workforce by imparting training in the area of plumbing. Kushal is a partnership project between Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) Pune Metro and National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).
"The objective of this scheme is to encourage skill development by providing monetary rewards for successful completion of approved training programs. Fundamentally, we are celebrating people who work with their own hands, who form the backbone of any society. We need people who believe in working hard and adding value in whatever they do. A famous quote in Sanskrit goes "yathA hyekena chakreNa na rathasya gatir_bhavet | evam puruSha_kAreNa vinA daivam na sidhyati (यथा ह्येकेन चक्रेण न रथस्य गतिर्भवेत्। एवं पुरुषकारेण विना दैवं न सिध्यति)" which means As a chariot (cart) can't move with one wheel, similarly, without hard work destiny doesn't bring fruit." Executive Chairman of Finolex Industries Ltd, Mr. Prakash Chhabria said here, who also launched the Pradhan Mantri Kushal Yojana in Pune.
Kushal model is mix of 'on-job-on-site-earn-while-you-
learn', wherein 80 per cent is practical on-the-job-training and 20 per cent is classroom training, entailing zero wage loss for workers. The training duration is of two months/eight weeks. So far Kushal has trained 22,408 construction workers.
"As a pilot project, Finolex Pipes will be sponsoring the training of 500 trainees with the long term aim of training 100,000 workers in the next five to seven years, who will be taught the entire plumbing course along with additional inputs on on-site-training from Finolex Industries Ltd," Executive Chairman of Finolex Industries Ltd, Prakash Chhabria said.
The absence of proper training programmes has kept many plumbers from progressing in their field and the lack of a defined career path has thwarted their aspirations. The Finolex Kushal training programme will help these plumbers to learn technical skills faster which in turn will help them gain personal growth and higher income.
Along with this, Finolex Pipes is also providing Rs 10 lakhs to sponsor the team from Kushal that will be participating in the World Skills Competition, Sao Paulo, August, 2015. The cheque was handed over to the Kushal team by Mr Chhabria, Finolex Industries Limited on World Youth Skills Day/Kushalta Diwas at Yashwantrao Chavan Academy of Development Administration (YASHADA).
Vice Chairman Kushal, Mr. Ranjit Naiknavare added that, "This is phase one of plumbing training for which Finolex is partnering with us. Besides, they have sponsored two Kushal trained construction workers representing India at Sao Paulo, Brazil for World Skils Competition, in August 2015."
According to President of CREDAI Pune Metro, Mr. Shantilal Katariya, the training program of KUSHAL has now been recognized nationally as a one of the doable training module of construction workers. Kushal has trained more than 20 thousand labourers in 3 and half year and in next 10 years we are planning to train more than 1 lac labourer.
"The CREDAI-National has announced to implement the same on PAN India level I am sure that this program under the guidance of Mr. J. P. Shroff, Chairman, KUSHAL will surely be able to achieve the Prime Minister's Vision of 'Skilled India'," Mr Katariya said.

Q&A: What kind of proxy servers will not be blocked from the school website?
April 28, 2011 by admin
Filed under Discussions
Question by magic area: What kind of proxy servers will not be blocked from the school website?
My e-mail and some game sites are unblocked at school. However, sites such as YouTube are blocked. Does anyone know any good proxy servers that will let me through?
P.S. If you are going to give me an answer like "wait until you get home to play games or go on YouTube", then DO NOT bother responding.
Best answer:
Answer by sensible_man
The sites which have been blocked are also sites that violate the school policies. You will be able to get them all once you get suspended for messing with the schools computer system.

In this remake of the classic 1974 car-chase movie, legendary car thief Randall 'Memphis' Raines (Nicolas Cage) is forced to come out of retirement when his brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) ends up in debt to evil mobster Raymond Calitri. Charged with stealing fifty cars by Friday, Randall sets about reassembling his old team - including former lover Sara 'Sway' Wayland (Angelina Jolie), mechanic Otto Halliwell (Robert Duvall) and the silent but strong Toby (Vinnie Jones) - but faces further challenges in the form of rival car thief Donny (Chi McBride) and local detective Roland Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo), who would love to put Randall behind bars once and for all.

HOW BARACK OBAMA WON features an introduction by Chuck Todd, putting the 2008 presidential election in political and demographic perspective, even as it reveals national trends. The final electoral map will appear in the front matter, as will unexpected "fun facts." The book is divided into four parts, each of which proceeds alphabetically state by state: Battleground States (e.g., Colorado, Florida, Idaho); Emerging Battleground States (e.g., Arizona, Georgia, Montana); Receding Battleground States (e.g., Michigan, Pennsylvania); Red and Blue States (e.g., Idaho and Mississippi, California and New York).
The votes in each state for Obama and McCain are broken down by percentage according to gender, age, race, party, religious affiliation, education, household income, size of city, and according to views about the most important issue (the economy, terrorism, Iraq, energy, healthcare), the future of the economy (worried, not worried) and the war in Iraq (approve, disapprove). Comparative figures for the 2004 Bush-Kerry election are provided. Each state profile is comprised of a table of results -with key factors highlighted-- and analysis. From the book's treasury of facts you will learn about:
FIRST TIME VOTERS: The ratio of first-time to previous voters was identical to the 2004 split. Eleven percent (11%) of the electorate voted for the first time in 2004 and 2008. In 2008 70% voted for Obama whereas in 2004 only 53% voted for Kerry.
WHITE VOTERS: Obama won the white vote in 18 states and the District of Columbia: CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, IA, ME, MA, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR, RI, WA, WI and VT. Obama received less than 35% of the white vote in 13 states, with Louisiana (14%), Mississippi (11%) and Alabama (10%) picking up the rear.
THE BUSH FACTOR: With the exception of Missouri (which barely went to McCain), Obama won every state where Bush's approval rating was below 35% in the exit polls; he lost every state where Bush's approval rating was above 35%. Bush's approval rating was highest in Utah (47%), which supported McCain by a 29 point margin, and lowest in Washington, D.C. (8%), where McCain received only 7% of the vote.
FLORIDA: Votes for McCain were 25,000 fewer than for Bush in 2004; Obama's exceeded Kerry's by 540,000.
OHIO: Votes for Obama were 34,000 fewer than for Kerry in 2004; McCain's, however, were 350,000 short of Bush's.
From NBC's political director and elections director. Readers who pick this up for, say, a quick check of McCain's margin of victory in Montana will find themselves tempted to embark on a full cross-country trip through these pages. States here are divided into four categories: "Battleground States," "Receding Battleground States," "Emerging Battleground States," and "Red and Blue States" (not clear why that wasn't two separate lists). Entries are from two to five pages long, more for states in flux than the true Blue or Red ones, with a clear format of both textual and tabular information on the state's 2008 presidential choice, its party support in the past, and what to keep an eye on in future elections. A final section of tables analyzing the 2008 electorate is fascinating. For all interested readers.

Tutorial: Bayesian Techniques for NLP
Date: 24 May 2006
Time: 9am - noon
Location: 4th floor conference room
Expectation Maximization (EM) has proved to be a great and useful technique for unsupervised learning problems in speech and language processing. Unfortunately, its range of applications is limited either by intractable E- or M-steps, or by its reliance on the maximum likelihood estimator. The natural language processing community typically resorts to ad-hoc approximation methods to get (some reduced form of) EM to apply to NLP tasks. However, many of the problems that plague EM can be solved with Bayesian methods, which are theoretically more well justified. In this tutorial, I discuss Bayesian methods as they can be used in natural language processing. The two primary foci of this tutorial are specifying prior distributions and performing the necessary computations to perform inference in Bayesian models. I focus on unsupervised techniques (for which EM is the obvious choice), but discuss supervised and discriminative techniques at the conclusion with pointers to relevant literature.
Depending on one's inference technique of choice, the math required to build Bayesian learning models can be difficult. Compounding this problem is the fact that current written tutorials on Bayesian techniques tend to focus on continuous-valued problems, a poor match for the high-dimension discrete world of text. This combination makes the cost of entrance to the Bayesian learning literature often too high. The goal of this tutorial is to provide sufficient motivation, intuition and vocabulary mapping so that one can easily understand recent papers in Bayesian learning that are published at conferences like NIPS, and increasingly at ACL. In addition to the standard tutorial materials (slides), this tutorial is accompanied by a technical report that spells out all the mathematic derivations in great detail, for those who wish to start research projects in this fields.
This tutorial should be accessible to anyone with a basic understanding of statistics. I use a query-focused summarization task as a motivating running example for the tutorial, which should be of interest to researchers in natural language processing and in information retrieval. Additionally, though the tutorial does not focus on speech problems, those attendees interested in graphical modeling techniques for automatic speech recognition might also find the tutorial of interest.

When we are born our brains are like empty computers waiting to be fed information. As we grow our peers act as our programmers, they supply us with the knowledge which we channel through the conscious mind into the subconscious (our hard drive). The subconscious mind is the biggest hard drive ever developed - it stores everything we come in contact with and by no means is all of this information of a positive nature.
All that we have heard, touched, smelt, tasted and seen are stored in the recesses of our minds. The subconscious mind holds on to this information until we need to recall it. For example when you were young your curiosity lead you to investigate your surroundings. When you approached a substance that was dangerous, such as fire, your parents or guardians would most likely have rebuked or scolded you if you ventured too near the flame. Perhaps you may even recall an incident when you were physically burned. Your subconscious mind then began to relate scolding (or pain) with the intense heat of the fire and would therefore feed the feelings of the scolding incident back to you whenever you got too close to fire again, thus acting as an early warning system.
This is the mechanism used by our brains to learn. It is also the same method employed by the mind in every situation. The subconscious mind has a tendency to emulate what it sees - it tends to replicate its environment. This is why so many people find themselves in similar relationships and situations that they saw their parents in while they were growing up. Most people also hold very strongly or similar views of their parents.
Think of a time when you gave yourself praise. What words did you use? Do you use the same words that your parents or peers used when they were praising you? The same is applicable when you scold yourself.
Watch your internal dialogue. Look at it closely. It takes diligence to change the way you think. When you notice yourself thinking a negative chose to think the opposite. This way you neutralise the negative thought. Now the think the positive thought again! You have just reversed the negative thinking in that moment and remember you only have this moment. No other time exists!
Daydream about what might be. Imagine things they way you wish them to be. If you catch yourself thinking "this is just a daydream - a fantasy" then stop! Think the opposite. It is not a daydream it is your reality. Now think it again.
By doing this simple procedure you will begin to retrain your subconscious mind to think positively and you will ultimately begin to consciously create a life that dreams are made of! personal development plan

Many people try to achieve goals. Most fail. Some strive, work hard and plan for all the details yet they achieve little or nothing at all. Others strive, work hard, plan and achieve huge success. Yet there are a few individuals who do little else than take small steps and seem to achieve a great deal with what seems like effortlessness. What is the difference between these people and which one would you like to be?
Most members of the human race fall into two categories - those who live in the past and those who live in the future. Most live in the past. Many of these are the people who achieve very little in their lives and are so fearful of the future that they dare not strike out to get anything. They are the under-achievers who hang onto bad episodes in their lives and either relive them time and again or look at new situations as similar potentialities. They say things like "all men are deceivers" or "all women are interested in is money" or "I can't do it. I tried before and it didn't work so why bother!". Due to bad experiences in the past they believe that all future events will turn out the same way if they dare to go after what they want.
The other type of person lives in the future. This type tends to create more of the things they want in life. They have a vision of where they want to go and exactly how they are going to get there. They work diligently at making concrete plans and they pursue those plans with a persistent ferocious appetite for success. These people are the high achievers - The Richard Branson and Bill Gates of the world. These people have much to teach us about setting and achieving goals.
However, there is a third type of person who almost goes unnoticed. They are the person who takes life in its stride and yet achieve most of what they want. I am sure you know of such a person in your life that just seems to saunter through life and yet they always come out on top. Or a person who you hear of that has decided to open a shop. You meet them a few months later and they have three shops all doing well! So what makes these people so successful and if they aren't living in the past and aren't living in the future where are they living?
I suppose you guessed it! Whether they are consciously aware of it or not they are living in the present. It is in the 'living' present that we have our greatest power. Everything happens in the present. You live your entire life there - even if your mind does not!
By becoming more aware of the present and by 'accepting' it as it is we are much more in control of our emotions and focus. When we live in the past we are fearful of making bad choices and/or getting hurt. We do not wish to recreate the past again! When we live in the future we can also be fearful of what might happen. But even if your future vision is full of power and worthy of working towards many people can, and often do, get stuck there. By constantly reaching for bigger and better goals they fail to enjoy what they have in the moment.
If you wish to start living a life that is almost effortless begin first by living in the present. Accept your situation the way it is and then you can enjoy what you have. Your focus changes from a memory of what was or a vision of what might be to a realization of what is. You become much more empowered to then see the beauty of life and also look at where you wish to make changes. But to make changes you must first accept the situation as it is. Trying to escape from your present only increases your focus on your problems by creating resistance to what is. Accept your life as it is now. Make no judgement, just accept it and then you will be free of doubt, worry, pain and fear. For you only experience these things when you live outside the 'moment'. subliminal

Okay so, I'm going to clear out my galleries; it's a step, but if there's anything I need to improve, it takes sacrifice. I've been quietly improving on my comic as well as trying to keep up with my job at the Dollar Store to make chump change to make a better living.
First off, all that ranting I've made, I should blame myself, for letting the small shit get to me. I've felt stupid, but I'm over it. For my mistakes such as that stated, I've been off of DA for that.
I'm not asking for forgiveness or looking for pity, just saying the things that should have been said. Hope everyone is doing well.

Video Transcript:
On Thursday, V.P. Joe Biden tried to clarify his comments from 24 years ago about Supreme Court nominees, since they don't align with his recent statements.
BIDEN: Mitch McConnell and other Republicans, today, have been quoting selectively from the remarks that I made in an attempt to justify refusing Chief Judge Garland a fair hearing and a vote on the floor of the Senate. They completely ignore the fact that at the time I was speaking of the dangers of nominating an extreme candidate without proper Senate consultation.
Advertisement - story continues below
Not sure the "selective" defense works much for you here, Joe. You were abundantly clear no nomination should be allowed.
BIDEN: We've seen how Mr. President in my view, politics has played far too large a role in the Reagan/Bush nominations to date. One can only imagine that role becoming overarching if a choice were made this year. President Bush should consider following the practice of a majority of his predecessors and not, and not name a nominee until after the November election is completed. It is my view that if the president goes the way of Presidents Fillmore and Johnson, and presses an election year nomination, the Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over. It would be our pragmatic conclusion, that once the political season is underway – and it is – action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over. That is what is fair to the nominee and essential to the process.
TRENDING: Dem Reads Trump's Tweets Out Loud During Hearing, That's When He Hears from Jeff Sessions
Despite repeatedly arguing against having a nomination during an election year, Biden now claims he would have confirmed a nominee.
BIDEN: So let me set the record straight, as they say. I said, and I quote, "If the president consults and cooperates with the Senate, or moderates his selections, then his nominees may enjoy my support as did Justice Kennedy and Justice Suter." End of quote. I made it absolutely clear that I would go forward with the confirmation process as chairman.
Advertisement - story continues below
So which is it Joe? How can you steadfastly reject a nominee during an election cycle, yet also claim to support one? Is it probable you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth?

February 23rd, 2006, 10:02 AM #1OBITUARY NOTICE: Sub Id, Age Unknown, Died on Feb. 23, 2006
Sub Id, a long time employee of the LinkShare Corporation, died in his sleep last night. Initial reports of a suicide are unfounded. Many think the death was from suspicious causes as Sub Id was young and healthy with no known illnesses or diseases. An investigation in to the cause of death has not yet been announced.
Sub Id was a tireless worker and will be much loved by those who worked with him every day. Sub Id was known around the world as a keeper of information and would share this information freely, day or night, to those he worked with him. A person who worked close to Sub Id, who has asked to remain anonymous, was interviewed and basically said they still can't believe he is gone and can't understand why he left us when he still had so much potential.
LinksShare Corporation has announced that another employee of LinkShare, a fellow going only by the code name of Signature will be attempting to fill Sub Ids shoes in the future. A background check of Signature was unavailable, but word on the streets has it that Signature is not as friendly or easy to access as our beloved Sub Id and that most will find it difficult if not impossible to make the necessary adjustments.
While the world mourns this great loss, there are already rumors spreading that Sub Id still lives. Affiliates (those who will miss him most) are reporting they still see his him when they create web site links at LinkShare Corporation. Many are confused by this, but the administrators at LinkShare Corporation have assured us that these are indeed just ghosts in the machine and that Sub Id did indeed pass away last night.
Memorials and gifts can be sent to the Help Save Linkshare Foundation here at ABW.

Thanks to Haiko or a moderator for remembering. Like I've always said, LS could be a great network if they treated affiliates better. I'm not suggestion they put our needs first but if they could at the very least put us on somewhat equal footing with that of the merchant and that of the network, asking for your needs and listenting to our suggestions, they could indeed be one of the top networks in my eyes.

February 23rd, 2006, 02:33 PM #9I, Too, Have Seen The GHOST of Sub Id!
Oh My!!! I can't believe it!
I was just visiting the Create Links area of Linkshare and, it's almost too good to be true, I spotted Sub Id in a link I was creating. Actually he is in every link I created. More specifically, he was even seen twice in some links I was creating (example: &type=3&subid=9" >).
Is it a ghost, perhaps just a earthly image of a past presence? I don't know but it sure looked real to me.
Maybe the reports of Sub Id's death was premature. I know last month there was talk of his death but somehow he escaped the clutches of the Grim Reaper back then. Maybe, just maybe, he managed to slip through again.
Quick, let's all light a candle or make sacrifices to the Goddess Athena (she took up residence at LS, didn't she?). Zues, Zues, use your mighty powers and maybe we can bring Sub Id back to life!!! Think of the possibilities!

"Athena was the only one of his children that Zeus ever entrusted with his magic shield and the secret of where his lightening bolts were stored."
I made a mistake, sorry, I can't convince her. She's fighting my power with my own weapons.

Sub Id has been seen again!
I joined a new merchant at LS (first one in months) basically because I found a group of site visitors that had a need for these products and guess what I found in the welcome email the sent me??? Yep, links with SubID=0 in all of them.
Someone forgot to tell the merchants that Sub Id had passed away!
March 16th, 2006, 09:37 AM #13
Well, Sub Id must have nine lives because he is still on all new links created at LS.
And, even though LS terminated him on Feb. 23, I can still pull up reports (not the ones in SA) and see how each of my sites are doing based on the Sub ID code I have for them.
Could someone from LS please explain?
March 16th, 2006, 04:13 PM #14
I was just about to reply that even though you are seeing the Sub-ID's, you won't be able to get your reporting that includes it. Then, I saw your last post that says that you can pull reporting.
Where are you getting your reports outside of SA? I don't know how to do this and would love to still be able to see my sub-ids.

Maybe they're still including SubId in case they might have to exhume him.

I can't. How are you doing it?

BUT NOT ONE WORD on their website.
These idiots are faster to use the delete button than to create meaningful reports.
What have they done lately to help their affiliates?
March 17th, 2006, 09:56 AM #17
I beg to differ with you. I just went in and tried to create a text link for Sierra Trading Post and the SubID still shows up in the link (as subid=0). Yeah, it is not a number I assigned, but it is still automatically being generated by LinkShare and I can change the SubID to a number I want and it is still tracking. Amazing I have posted this a half dozen times here with no LS response (if anyone has not noticed, the LS Moderators are ignoring ALL my posts and have been for weeks now...except Danix who responded to a nontechnical post I made).
Sheri - Where I am pulling up this data is on the page right after you log on I go to Run Reports, then for the current month I select under Report Type the Individual Item Report for All Merchants. This then gives me a breakdown of all sales this month by item purchased and because of the SubID's still listed on all my links I can tell which site the sale came from.
Evidently SubID is still alive and well. Long live Sub ID!
March 17th, 2006, 11:06 AM #18
You are lucky. SubID is no longer available (and hasn't been for a while) on my individual item reports.
I just tried running individual items for reports going back to 1/1/2006 when subID was supported. I am not able to run subID reports for that period either. I hadn't thought about it before, but I am distressed that I seem to have lost 4 years of historicial information about my sites that used to be available. If I had been forewarned I might have downloaded the information before subID was murdered.

Ron, they removed YESTERDAY, our ability to assign a website to the SubID and we can't list our websites anymore. No more SubID=1, 2 or 45
Yes, the SubID=0 is still generated for ALL the links but have no use anymore. What else can we expect from these idiots.
To keep SubID=0 without the reporting is dumb and a waste of space.

But the interesting thing is I can still use all my various SubId numbers on my sites with datafeeds to generate reports and see stuff still reporting up until my last sales post. Interesting how I can and others cannot.

I can't generate reports sorted by SubID.
I'm not crazy about their signature system. I'm not happy.
LinkShare is not getter better, different people in charge, same problems.

You're thinking of Signature/Member ID/u1 tracking. SubID (the old tracking they "eliminated") is only numeric and must be pre-configured.
