UBC Library, Vancouver Campus
(Full-time, ongoing General Librarian position with 5 year renewable Head term)
Anticipated Start Date: February 1, 2018
The University of British Columbia Library is one of the largest academic libraries in Canada and consistently ranks among the top university research libraries in North America. UBC Library has 14 branches and divisions, two campuses (Vancouver and Kelowna), one off-site hospital library, and the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre – a multi-purpose teaching and learning facility.
The Library's collection of over 7M items includes 1.4M ebooks, 229,020 electronic journals, 850,000 maps, audio, DVD/video and graphic materials, and 1,703 bibliographic and full-text databases.
More than 300 knowledgeable employees – librarians, management and professional staff, support staff and student staff – provide users with the excellent resources and services that they need to further their research, teaching and learning. To learn more about working with UBC Library and to explore our aspirational values visit http://about.library.ubc.ca/work-with-us/why-work-with-us/.
The Xwi7xwa Library is located on the ancestral and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking Musqueam people. It is adjacent to the UBC's First Nations House of Learning, (FNHL) and is the only separate library dedicated to Indigenous collections and services at an academic institution in Canada. An agreement outlines the relationship between the First Nations House of Learning and Library. Xwi7xwa Library's work is guided by the UBC Library strategic plan, the 2009 UBC Aboriginal Strategic Plan, ongoing University initiatives, and responses to the Calls to Action in the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The Xwi7xwa Library is a world leader in the effective organization and respectful use of Indigenous knowledge and information in academic inquiry. The Library is key to developing UBC's capacity for advanced work in Indigenous studies and engagement by providing expert staff, unique collections and collaborative space for supporting respectful academic inquiry through teaching, research, and community partnerships.
The Xwi7xwa Library provides leadership and support across the UBC Library to develop improved access to collections and services that support Indigenous perspectives in all fields of study and research and to further the development of the skills to do so in all units of UBC Library. In collaboration with UBC Library Technical Services, Xwi7xwa Library leads in the development of descriptive systems that are based in Indigenous Knowledge Organization, an evolving and emergent area of research and operations. The Library fosters collaborative relationships with Indigenous programs and services at UBC and works closely with the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre, other academic units, and community partners to ensure respectful access to materials and critical understanding of Canadian and Indigenous history.
Through building and maintaining relationships with a vibrant network of current and former faculty, staff and students, the Xwi7xwa Library connects the intellectual life of the campus with diverse communities, and serves as a facilitator to many longstanding collaborative knowledge-based projects and initiatives. Community scholars and educators entrust Xwi7xwa Library with locally developed resources, which form many of the unique materials in the collection. Xwi7xwa Library has an active and well-regarded profile in public programming at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and other venues that helps to increase campus awareness of Indigenous issues and their relevance, depth, and complexity. The Library participates with the Museum of Anthropology, the Barber Centre, the First Nations House of Learning and many other campus units and community partners in information dissemination and service initiatives.
Xwi7xwa Library has a close relationship with the First Nations Curriculum Concentration, (FNCC) in the iSchool. It draws students from FNCC to work as graduate academic assistants while at the same time acting as a draw for applicants to the iSchool. The Library actively supports FNCC students by participating in the experiential learning programs offered at the iSchool – through hosting class visits and guest lecturing, as well as offering co-op placements, professional, and practicum experiences.
The Xwi7xwa Library has an important and ongoing role in strategic initiatives in Indigenous research and knowledge organization, and the role of Head Librarian is critical to that function.

OpenStreetMap Mapathon
Koerner Library
Room 217 GIS lab
Wednesday November 15th
No registration necessary
Celebrate GIS day with an OpenStreetMap mapathon!
In this workshop you'll learn how to add data to OpenStreetMap. You'll add geographic information that will be free to for anyone to use and share, from humanitarian uses to smartphone apps.
The workshop will focus on adding building footprints to Masset, BC on Haida Gwaii.
You'll learn how to:
- Create an OpenStreetMap account
- Edit point, lines and polygons
- Add information about your additions
Why building footprints?
From "OSMGeoWeek mapathons support Building Canada 2020":
"Building footprints and wheelchair attribute data are used to assess the city's accessibility. Building data can be merged with property assessment data to visualize property assessment values, or it can be merged with zoning data to visualize allowed versus actual buildings heights."
This OpenStreetMap Building Canada initiative has a vision of mapping all buildings in Canada by 2020. You can be a part of that.
Pizza will be provided.

Daily Promises (July 17th)
[He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him come near to me. (Isaiah 50:8)
Who can stand before the might of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah? None. Who can thwart the plans of the very Creator of the Heavens? None. And who could steal a single child from the hand of the conquering Lamb Himself? Why none at all! There is no foe so great or force so terrifying as to hold any sway over the Son of God! Take comfort in the strength of His arm and know to a certainty that if He is for you, then, truly, none can be against you (cf. Romans 8:31).

This past Saturday, my older brother and I visited our youngest brother at his current abode, a state prison facility near Bryan, Texas. He's serving out what is hopefully the last few months of a sentence for driving under the influence. This was only the second time I had ever seen the inside of a prison. As we waited outside the automated gate in the razor wire topped fence, my mind wandered back to that first time many years ago.
I was probably a junior or senior in high school at the time. I was a member of a young men's group that set up a visit to a state prison in Huntsville. The unit we toured was limited to convicts up to the age of twenty-one. This wasn't one of those "scared straight" sort of programs. We weren't "troubled" kids, but I guess our adult supervisors thought it would be good for us to see what the consequences of misbehavior could be. I suppose it was effective. So many years later, I still have quite clear memories of that tour conducted by the warden of the unit. The group entered through gates in two very high parallel fences. He pointed out the armed guard towers at the corners of the rectangular enclosure, as well as the dangerous looking large dogs (Doberman Pinchers, I believe) that lived in the space between the two fences. When one of us asked the inevitable question about escape attempts, the warden seemed to get quite a kick out of describing how would-be escapees usually were found clinging to the branches of a tree in the nearby woods, chased there by the released dogs. Once inside the facility, we toured some of the areas where inmates spent their days: the mess hall, exercise area, and locked hallways. As you might expect, these were not in use at the time. We were barely allowed to glimpse any actual prisoners. When the tour was complete, we all breathed a silent sigh of relief that we didn't have to spend our lives in such an awful place. Mission accomplished for our adult leaders.
Yesterday, some 45 or so years later, my brother and I went through the security checks and were seated in a large visitation room at a table with two chairs on one side and one on the other. Our younger brother was escorted into the room through a metal door and seated across from us. As we talked and caught him up on family goings-on, I couldn't help but look around and consider how different this place was from the high security prison I had toured as a teenager. Unlike the severe lockup of the other unit, this was basically a holding facility for guys who were at least close to being considered for release. My brother talked a lot about the difference between this and the prison he had recently left. As you might expect, this place, though still depressing and austere, was much less violent.
As I sat and listened to him, I couldn't help but look around the crowded room. Every table was occupied on one side by a man wearing a white cotton shirt and pants. The place was very noisy; you couldn't make out any actual conversations. But, unlike my previous prison tour, I saw real people rather than just bars and guns. On one side of us a prisoner lightly held his wife's fingers across their table. Their eyes never wandered from each other. Behind my brother you could barely see the bald head of a tiny baby held in the muscular arm of a huge inmate. He was holding a bottle of milk stuffed in the baby's mouth as he smiled and talked to the lady across from him. Trying not to appear nosy, I glanced around the full room and saw a lot of other private scenes like that. One prisoner talked animatedly to a younger version of himself–his little brother, I assumed. Quarters clattered almost constantly into the vending machines along one wall. We weren't allowed to bring in a wallet, but could have coins. Like the other visitors we bought a soft drink for our inmate brother. In fact, he gratefully guzzled two Dr. Peppers. Normally, he's only allowed one can drink every three weeks.
The feeling here was so different from the high security prison I had walked through so long ago. In spite of the hardships of living packed into a dorm with up to 60 other inmates, there was actually HOPE in this place. When my attention drifted back to my brother across the table, I realized he was talking about his recent efforts to secure a place in a half-way house if and when he was paroled. Like some of the others in the room, he too may get another chance at reconstructing his life later this year. It's not a sure thing, but there is hope.

Richard Hudson is a used-car salesman with a pimp's understanding of the ways in which women (and men) are most vulnerable. He sees himself as a walking allegory, the confidence man as a work of art.
Hudson lives with his beautiful mother, her black-listed movie director husband (twenty years her junior) and an over-sexed teenage step-sister. He feels driven to make a movie and when it's rejected he extracts a terrifying revenge.
Title: The Woman Chaser
Author: Charles Willeford
Imprint & Number: Carroll & Graf
Cover price: 3.95
Publication date: 1990
Cover artist: Henderson
For anyone unfamiliar with the work of Charles Willeford, you should be. If you appreciate hard-boiled pulp noir, or just like to be entertained by what you read, you simply have to find something, anything, by Willeford and read it.
Once I decide my budget will allow me to spend more on this hobby, I'll gather as many vintage copies of Willeford's stuff as I can. For now, I'll gladly settle for recent reading copies.
A film based on this story was released in 1999 and starred Patrick Warburton. It went on to win several special jury awards at various film festivals but was financially unsuccessful.

Many people are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth for one reason or another. This causes them a lack of confidence, among other concerns that sometimes greatly impact their lives. Our smile is one of our most valuable assets. If you're unhappy with your smile, many dental products can help. Veneers Highland Park IL is one of those products. Thousands of people use veneers to protect their teeth and improve their smiles. You could benefit from veneers as well as those who've already taken the plunge.
What are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin pieces applied to the front of the teeth to hide imperfections such as stains, cracks, chips, etc. Once applied, the veneers are permanent and cannot be removed. With proper care, veneers offer many lasting years of protection. The veneers are safe and easy to use and protect the teeth from additional damage as they hide these marks from the view of others. People who use veneers can eat and drink as usual, and they do so with added confidence. Instantly veneers improve your confidence, self-esteem and happiness.
The Price You Pay to Smile
But, exactly how much do veneers cost? People who use veneers do so most often because of the costs. Repairing teeth and other procedures can be quite expensive and time consuming, but that isn't the case when veneers are chosen for restoration and corrective needs. Veneers are affordable to most budgets.
Veneers cost about $1,000 – $2,500 per tooth. Factors that impact costs include the veneers material, the dentist chosen, and any dental work needed to make veneers work for your needs. Most dentists offer financing options if you're unable to pay the costs upfront. Learn more about these options before the initial visit.

BMF has a very strong line-up of creative directors in Alex, Jen and Ant with outstanding work already in development for 2018."Hard as it is to leave, I do it knowing that BMF is in excellent form and back to its very best."Blackley joined the agency in 2014 from his previous role as a creative director at Droga5 Sydney.ADVERTISEMENT At the time of his appointment, BMF's creative founder Warren Brown, said: "Cam has produced great work in Australia, London and New York. His ideas are fresh and quirky and have broad appeal, which is exactly the sort of work we're known for doing at BMF. Cam's leadership skills and understanding of Aussie culture will be a great addition to the BMF team."During his time at BMF, Blackley worked across various accounts including ALDI Australia, TAL Insurance, MLA, Australian Government and Football Federation Australia.M&C Saatchi lost its chief creative officer Andy DiLallo to TBWA in February.Russell Hopson, group MD at M&C Saatchi, said: "Cam's work has delivered brilliant, populist, effective ideas that live and thrive in the modern media landscape. This is precisely what we need to fulfil our goal to be Australia's most influential creative company. We're ecstatic to have him and can't wait until he starts."Blackley has been at the helm of BMF's creative team for almost four years, most recently leading the well known Ben Johnson 'putting roid in Android' Sportsbet ad, which was later banned by the Ad Standards Board for making light of drug use.Steve McArdle MD of BMF says: "Cam is a great guy, has built an outstanding team and delivered a great body of work. He's helped us achieve 'Effective Agency of the Year' and really bring BMF back to its best. Fortunately for us, part of his legacy is a World Class creative department with real strength, depth and diversity of talent at every level. It's with our thanks and very best wishes that he moves on to pastures new.""Over the coming months we'll be talking to the best creative leaders in the business about the ECD role, including internal and external candidates, and will announce Cam's successor in due course."

Cam is well known around town for saying innovation is rubbish and only TV works. M&C Saatchi's most well known work of recent times is all 'innovation': Clever Buoy, Fire Blanket, Build with Chrome, etc. I wonder if this means the end of clever buoys and a return to great TV ads or a change of heart from Cam? I also wonder as a Chief Creative Officer how much he'll be able to be on the tools, which is where he works his real magic? Reply Lucio Ribeiro 23 Oct 17 @Pundit – interesting. Back at Droga5 when they were working at Cadbury account I worked for the digital agency. We had many meetings together and my impression from Cam was always excellent. He cut through to me as being a creative pushing for things that work regardless of media/channels. Although we never crossed paths again I actually found him to be a f. smart creative with a quite ambitious and innovative take on creative.

Allegedly reinstated Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi reportedly spoke on the issue Thursday, October 30, after meeting with Nigeria's Sports Minister Tammy Danagogo.
The news about Keshi's return broke yesterday. Reports said that the former Eagles' coach was to resume his duties and manage the national team in the November qualifiers for the 2015 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
It would be recalled that his contract expired in summer, and for the 4 played qualifiers Keshi worked on an interim basis, with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) considering whether to extend his contract or not.
Eventually they decided to ask Shaibu Amodu, the former Super Eagles' coach, to proceed with the remaining 2 AFCON qualifiers.
It was reported yesterday however that presidency held the emergency meeting with NFF head Amaju Pinnick Wednesday night and strongly recommended the football body to reinstate Keshi.
Reacting to the development, Keshi was said to have expressed his willingness to lead Super Eagles through the must-win November encounters with Congo and South Africa, Leadership reports.
The allegedly returned coach made this known yesterday in Abuja after a brief meeting with the Minister of sports and Chairman National Sports Commission (NSC), Tammy Danagogo.
He praised Jonathan for believing in him.
"Really, if it is true that President Jonathan had intervened and asked me to return as Eagles coach, I just thank him for that. I have not heard it, you guys are just telling me. I only came here to say hello to the minister of sports, Danagogo that's all. Returning to Eagles' job is going to be very hard, but I have my mind to think about it first, but if the president has ask me to return, for the peace to return in the country football which is important to the players too and for the love I have for the country I have served for fourteen years as a player while not despite the treatment meted on me."
It would be noted that the NFF and Stephen Keshi used to have tense relationships. One of the issues made public was that the coach had been paid his salary for months.
And the football body accused Keshi of his reluctance to follow the rules and of choosing players not based on their performance, but based on his own preferences.
It is worth mentioning however that there has been no official confirmation by the NFF about Keshi's reinstatement at the position of the Super Eagles head coach.

Tropical Storm Cristobal is expected to make landfall in Mexico Wednesday, with related impacts affecting states across Mexico as well as Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize and Honduras.
While it's still too early to predict how Cristobal will develop and affect U.S. Gulf coastal states, projected paths of the storm place it between Texas, Louisiana, and the Florida Panhandle by Friday or early next week.
If you live in those areas, now is a good time to review your tropical preparedness plan, the National Weather Service of Mobile/Pensacola said.
Tropical Storm Cristobal path
Tropical Storm Cristobal was close to making landfall on the coast of Mexico with 60-mph-winds, according to the 8 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center.
Location: 25 miles northwest of Ciudad Del Carmen, Mexico
Maximum sustained winds: 60 mph
Movement: Southeast at 3 mph
Next scheduled advisory: 11 a.m.
Expected Florida impacts from Cristobal at this time include swells with an increased risk of strong rip currents, beach erosion and possible coastal flooding along Alabama and Northwest Florida beaches, according to the National Weather Service, Mobile/Pensacola.
6/3 early morning update and expected impacts associated with Tropical Storm Cristobal. pic.twitter.com/WekH4nrLiq— NWS Mobile (@NWSMobile) June 3, 2020
At 8 a.m., the center of Tropical Storm Cristobal was located 25 miles northwest of Ciudad Del Carmen, Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Cristobal is moving toward the southeast near 3 mph, and this general motion is expected to continue this morning, followed by a turn toward the east this afternoon.
A motion toward the north-northeast and north is expected Thursday and Friday.
On the forecast track, the center will cross the southern Bay of Campeche coast later today and move inland over eastern Mexico tonight and Thursday.
After making an expected landfall in Mexico, Cristobal is forecast to make a loop and re-enter the Gulf of Mexico, where it's expected to gain strength and begin moving toward the U.S.
How quickly and how far the Cristobal moves north later this week and into early next week may determine where it strikes land next, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.
"If it races northward, around the time the high-pressure area is weakening, it may hit the central Gulf Coast, perhaps near Louisiana as early as Sunday afternoon or Sunday night," said AccuWeather hurricane expert Dan Kottlowski.
"If it is delayed, high pressure is forecast to rebuild over the central and southeastern U.S. this weekend, which could force the system toward Texas sometime early next week."
Flooding over the Deep South tops the list of early concerns if Cristobal's forward progress slows after moving into the U.S. next week, although the exact strength and track of the system is still unclear this far out, AccuWeather said.

Executive Editor Kantar US Insights
05.08.2018 / 12:00
Please copy the below code to embed it into your blog
Americans' growing support for legalizing marijuana is rooted in a belief that it's safer and less detrimental to society than alcohol and other drugs.
Kantar's Lightspeed division surveyed 1,051 people over the age of 18 between April 27 and April 30 to get a more detailed view on where Americans stand on making marijuana mainstream. The results showed that while marijuana use isn't necessarily widespread, Americans have a largely positive perception of the drug and fewer fears over any potentially negative impacts it could have on society.
The implications of nationwide legalization will have a profound impact across industries and product categories, from health care to retail. Whether brands are ready to engage in the discussion remains to be seen, but cannabis is already a disruptive force.
"It can be a purely recreational product, a wellness vehicle, or a health solution, and within each application there exist a slew of ancillary products and categories," said Kantar Consulting senior analyst Kate Senzamici in March.
"In the U.S., the size of the legal cannabis industry is expected to drastically increase, reaching anywhere from $24 billion to $44 billion by 2020, depending on advances in legalization. Questioning whether cannabis will impact conventional retail is no longer relevant or useful."
Legalize It?
The number of Americans in favor of legalizing marijuana has only grown. Our survey found that 64% of Americans favored nationwide legalization and only 26% were against it. Men were slightly more supportive, with 69% in favor compared with 62% of women. Roughly half of Americans said they'd tried using marijuana.
Weed is Better Than…?
The biggest thing going for the push to legalize marijuana is a perception that it's healthier and safer than other drugs. Americans have largely rejected claims that weed can be a "gateway" to other, harsher substances.
According to our survey, 71% of Americans agree or strongly agree that "marijuana isn't as dangerous as other drugs." 61% said it was "healthier" than alcohol.
Impact on Society
The toll drug and alcohol use can have on a society is, understandably, a big part of the debate when it comes to marijuana. According to a study conducted by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in 2010, excessive alcohol use kills about 88,000 people each year and costs $249 billion. The National Institute on Drug Abuse says that when you also factor in abuse of illicit drugs, prescription opioids and tobacco, the cost skyrockets to $740 billion annually.
Despite this, Americans view marijuana as less of a threat, with 53% saying it was less detrimental to society than alcohol and 65% saying it was less detrimental than other drugs.
"Legalization is largely a bipartisan issue," notes Senzamici. "Politicians from across party lines have been outspoken in their support of progressive cannabis reform following [Attorney General Jeff] Sessions' Cole Memo decision, and cannabis bills in Washington continue to acquire cosponsors from both parties. Cannabis legalization measures, which will be on the ballot in many states, should fare well based on what we know of public opinion across generations."

It was good to see the House Ways and Means Committee and its new chairman, Brian Dempsey of Haverhill, in action last Wednesday (April 13) during their press conference presenting the House version of the new state budget. Dempsey did a fine job running the show, especially when you consider that the $30.45 billion budget package he brought with him contains a number of items that are hard for some traditional Democratic constituencies to swallow. (Yes, that was the head of the firefighters' union at the front of the room, just steps from members of the Way and Means Committee, grimacing like someone about to be wheeled into an operating room.)
The budget blues are inevitable when you consider that (a) Ways and Means had to address a $1.9 billion deficit, (the difference between built-in expenses and projected state income for the fiscal year that will begin July 1), and (b) the federal government has turned off the recovery money spigot it opened in late-2008 to help get the states through the worst recession in 70 years.
But I would have found the press conference worthwhile if for no other reason than the chance conversation I had, as the event was breaking up, with a former longtime staff person in the Massachusetts Senate. This gentleman now works for the mayor of one of our older cities, a place that has seen better days. I hadn't bumped into him in several years. "How is it to be back in this building?" I asked. "Good, good," he said, as people patted him on the arm and shoulder as they walked by. "You are missed," I said, adding, "How does your job now compare to your old job?" He hesitated a moment and said, "When I was in this building, it was like being in the Pentagon. Where I am now is like being in a foxhole." Knowing the city this man helps to run and the kind of answer-defying problems they have to deal with there night and day, I didn't need an explanation.
"People make decisions at the State House, they have to make the tough decisions," I said, "but you have to live with the results of those decisions." "Right," he said, but it was not a mournful acknowledgement. To the contrary, he seemed to exude energy. "You look good! The work agrees with you," I said. "How do you like working for the mayor?" "Oh, I'd walk into a burning building for him," he said. I envied his strength and determination, even as I hoped that the fires awaiting him would be of the manageable variety.
I soon learned that the state is planning to cut funding to the venerable Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program by $2.6 million, from $12.4 to $9.8 million (20%!) in the next fiscal year. WIC provides supplemental food, nutritional education and health care referrals to about 130,000 low-income women, many of whom no doubt reside in the city where the former Senate staffer serves. My guess is his phone was ringing about WIC before he even got back to the front lines of public service...House Budget Tidbit: By the deadline for members of the Massachusetts House to file proposed amendments to the new House budget, (5:00 P.M., Friday, April 15), 758 amendments had been submitted to the House Clerk.

i'm wanting to hack animal crossing for the gamecube to change the amount of house you can have. the default is 4. I want to increase that. however animal crossing has no utilities and no documentation (from what I know of). would this even be possible with the games current state? would I be able to mess around with a debugger and a hex editor, or would this require in depth ASM knowledge?

I guess I should be expecting this by now, this tender heart around my monthly 'birthdays', and don't I say that each month? Heavy, heavy heart this week, and skin as thin as tissue. It literally feels as though something is sitting on my chest. I don't know if it's the news these days or my six month-a-versary, or both. I pretty much left facebook and got rid of my cable in the interest of avoiding the news media (which I don't trust one bit) and the divisive commentary pervading social media these days. However this week's news even pervaded and reached me via Instagram. What little bits I've learned fucking hurt.
Some days I wish I could just be one of those people who gets up, drinks coffee, goes to the gym, does the 9-5 job, 2 weeks of vacation every year, and doesn't obsess, reflect, and FEEL every single little thing. Are there people like that? I need so much fucking down time, so much self-care, I resent that I have to work so fucking hard just to keep from sinking. Meditate, yoga, walk, journal, pray, get enough sleep, not too much sugar, socialize (don't isolate!), careful not to binge too much on Netflix, read more; it gets exhausting, the work and effort it takes to stay happy. And sometimes it feels so self-indulgent, so #firstworldproblem. I feel weak that I can't handle the world sometimes, and lazy that I need so much time between, time alone to recover from things.
That said, I feel better today than yesterday. I started the 365 day workbook for A Course in Miracles. I meditated, I did yoga, I wrote, I walked, I worked and helped my clients heal, I ate healthy, I reached out to friends, and I went to my Friday night Women's meeting and picked up my 6 month chip. I realize this is the life I've been given, these are the tools I've been given, this is the path I've been given. I'm grateful to have the perspective, time, freedom, and support to navigate this path of truth with my eyes open.
And I have other positive news I haven't written about yet, because I wanted to keep it protected until I knew how it would go. About a month into my sobriety my ex and I decided to get together to see how it would be without partying. It was Valentine's Eve, 2016. I think we were both surprised and relieved as well as disappointed (uh-oh, here we go again?) that our connection was as wonderful as, if not better than ever. We've been taking it very slow but it has just gotten better with me sober. He's been my biggest supporter and champion.
We've been more steady and solid and I attribute it to the fact that he can take me more seriously. I rarely throw down road blocks every time I get scared, and neither does he. When I'm feeling like he's not giving me enough attention, I no longer send him long passive aggressive texts. Instead I focus on me, stay quiet, and give it a few days. I use my sobriety tools for our relationship, such as handing it over to my source and not expecting him to make me happy. My happiness comes from me.

Suffering from Brideorexia?
Photograph by 123 Royalty Free Images
Weight loss seems to top the list of pre-nuptial tasks for almost every bride. And craving to look perfect on their wedding day, brides-to-be often reach an anorexic condition, harming their over-all well-being. Consultant Registered Dietitian, Preethi Rahul helps you figure if 'shedding for the wedding' routine is becoming an unhealthy obsession with you.
What could be the reason for this extreme body image consciousness and weight loss mania among brides?
Wedding blues: Acute stress might induce a "fight or flight" response. Certain adrenaline like hormones suppress appetite and may discourage eating as it shunts blood away from the digestive system.
Size zero - the new hero: Most people believe that thin is healthy. Many prospective brides on being questioned felt that men decide a woman's marital status by judging their size and glam-quotient. According to research done at Cornell University, out of 272 brides-to-be more than 70% of them wanted to lose extreme amounts of weight before the wedding and only 10% managed to do it. Some of the brides even resorted to extreme methods like smoking, diet-pills, skipping meals; and what began as a shallow habit turned them into long-term anorexics.

Weight-reduction is a sure-fire way to boost your confidence on the D-Day but it does not happen suddenly. You need to make it happen! Sudden crash dieting, miraculous weight loss methods, weight loss pills are definitely not the right solutions. Here are some effective weight loss strategies
Maintain a food diary, where you can log what foods you had all day along, consistently for at least 15 days. After the 15th day, go through your diary and see where all you can cut down on excess sugar, salt and refined flour –the 3 main culprits for being overweight. For e.g.: instead of 2 tsp sugar in your tea or coffee make it half tsp, choose a green chutney over a pickle, try having whole grain products instead of refined foods or bakery products. Start making healthier food choices.
Proteinate your diet with eggs, pulses, skimmed milk and milk products. Proteins help to build lean muscle.
Cut that fat. Make sure you have no more than 5 tsp of fat in a day including oil, ghee, butter. Have skimmed milk and milk products instead of whole milk.
Binge on vegetables and hydrating fruits like watermelon, pineapple, oranges etc. whenever you feel hungry or feel like snacking.
Water is your weight loss mantra. So limit other liquid calories like tea, coffee and replace it with water for the next one month. Try to choose whole fruits rather than juices, and avoid sugary soft drinks and alcohol.
Start your exercise regime with cardiovascular as well as strength training workouts. The cardiovascular exercises (walking, aerobics or cycling) will help you burn calories; the strength training exercises (dumbbells, ab-exercises, floor exercises) will boost your metabolic rate and help you shape-up.
Portion control: Be aware of what you eat and how much quantity you eat.
The desire to lose weight is not misplaced at all. But you must ensure that the route followed to achieve the goal is balanced and free of any fads. Only when you lose weight the right way, will you have that much envied glow on your face!

Ten years ago I was a young entrepreneur selling processed seafood out of a factory in Vancouver. After only three years, my business partner and I had accounts with over forty stores, including Whole Foods and restaurants attached to celebrity chefs.
On one chilly November afternoon, an officer from a Federal government agency came to visit and offered me a grant and a loan. I had never dreamed of that much "free" money in my life. The only catch was that the funds had to be put towards investing in an upgrade of my facility. After many calculations and sleepless nights, I turned down the offer. I could not take the leap and expand the business. Three years later, the business closed down. (I did decide that this agent had a most interesting job, however, and joined the public service shortly thereafter.)
I retell this story every four months to a new cohort of co-op students from some of the most notable post-secondary institutions in the country. So far, not a single student has been able to give me a satisfactory answer as to why I, and Canadian business people in general, tend to underinvest in their entreprises.
The issue of business underinvestment is a critical one for Canadians. Less investment means less capital per worker and that impedes productivity, competitiveness, and innovation. Less growth also means less tax revenues for governments to pay for economic, social and environmental priorities.
So why do Canadians businesses consistently underinvest? My students with a political science background typically see this as a symptom of Canadians having been infected by the Canadian "risk-averse" culture. Those with business training—the MBA, CFA, CPA crowd—often come to the conclusion that Canadians don't have enough business education. Economics students generally come up with the most elaborate responses. They postulate about the financial incentive to invest, unrealistic requirements on the rate of return of investments, weak demand, regulatory burden, firm size, fretting about future tax increases, and high electricity prices.
Unfortunately, there always a consensus among us that there is something unsatisfactory about these responses.
For example, there is no data to suggest that Canadians are any less educated than any other country. Quite the contrary. Canadians have the highest post-secondary education attainment in the world! And yet, when it comes to spending on the Internet of Things—the next wave, and a disruptive one, of technology—over half of top-level Canadian executives are completely unaware of this technology according to a survey conducted for Microsoft earlier this year.
When it comes to our business climate, our tax credits are some of the most generous in the world. In parts of Canada, the after-tax cost of $100 in R&D can be as low as $37! And yet in terms of R&D spending by businesses, Canada ranks 15th out of 16 peer countries. To use a hockey analogy, Canada barely makes it into the playoffs of innovation. So what is going on? My argument is that the bag of incentives provided by governments at all levels are simply not alluring enough.
On a macro level, governments across the board provide reasonable incentives: tax depreciation allowances, subsidies in the form of grants and loans, awareness campaigns, free trade agreements, reductions in regulatory burden, and investments in education.
That said, Don Drummond, the noted Canadian economist observed that during the same time that governments implemented all sorts of policies to boost productivity, productivity growth has actually slowed.
Where these approaches fall short of the finish line is that they assume that all the business owner needs is a stronger business case to invest. This is based on the assumption that business owners are rational beings.
I want to be clear that some of the policies in that list are necessary conditions for business investment. They are also critically important conditions because they form the foundation of a supportive business environment—they can encourage and incentivize business owners and leaders to at least stand on the platform and consider taking a leap. But they are not sufficient because they don't convince most businesses to make the jump and invest.
I want to circle back to the beginning: why didn't I take the final plunge to invest in my factory? The explanation for this was quite simple. It has nothing to do a lack of a business case. It simply came down to a business associate. Shortly after I had formed my company, he had expanded his factory but economic conditions worked against him and he was out of business. It was tragic. Thirty people were let go that day. So the rational business case didn't matter even one iota to me when faced with the simple image in my head of my partner's padlocked factory.
This kind of decision-making is a central theme in behavioural economics and it turns out to play a profound role in explaining a whole host of unexplainable phenomena—including how some of the brightest traders and risk managers in the world allowed the subprime housing bubble to expand for years. What behavioural economists believe, in contrast to neo-classical economists, is that psychological, emotional, and social factors have an enormous impact on how economic decisions are actually made at the firm level.
While this may seem like an obscure theory, Germany has been applying it for decades in implementing its menu of business incentives to innovate and export. Its key weapon is the Fraunhofer Society. Founded in the aftermath of the Second World War, at a time when Germany's advanced industries were severely impaired, today it boasts 67 institutes throughout the country, spends an imposing budget of €2.1 billion and employs 24,000 people. The Fraunhofer's primary mission is to perform contract research for German SME's. For example, one of their key program areas enables small and medium sized manufacturers to test equipment and industrial processes on pilot manufacturing lines. In these sorts of programs, the emphasis is on a continual process of incremental improvement in processes with near term commercial impact. All of this makes a difference: Germany's small and medium sized manufacturers are the backbone of its economy. The country's average labour rate in the manufacturing industry is €37 (C$53) per hour.
Today there is one at the University of Western Ontario, and I recently had an opportunity to visit it. It was officially opened in 2012 with the support of $24 million of funding from all three levels of government. In collaboration with German researchers, the Canadian team has helped firms in sectors as diverse as automotive, aerospace, and clean-tech to use materials more innovatively. What really impressed me about their model was the how actively they were collaborating with the businesses—testing, researching, and demonstrating the benefits of new investments in processes and product improvements. Business owners get to touch and feel what a successful project would look like before making their final commitment. Its menu of services—in stark contrast to the offer of cold hard cash by a Canadian government employee—delivers advice, tested knowledge and know-how. It brings reassurance to the business owners/leaders; it makes the leap less scary and significantly de-risks their investment.
Our competitors are well aware of these successes. In the last five years, the U.S. and the U.K. have both made significant commitments in such organizations, totalling in the billions of dollars, in institutions that are modeled after Germany's Fraunhofer Institutes.
What we need in Canada are two separate and distinct policy streams. The first stream would include all of those programs that enhance the business case for making investment: infrastructure, tax policies, electricity costs, broadband access, education, immigration, funding, stable macroeconomic conditions, trade agreements, and the like.
But then we need to provide a second layer of programming. I call these the "giant leap" program and policies. These would target all of those barriers, especially the psychological ones that hold businesses back from taking the critical step that will allow them to scale-up to the next level. Is it risk perception? Is it a lack of strong advocates? Is it recent and tragic anecdotes of failure? If so, we should invest in more community-based programming, trust-based mentoring, real-world demonstrations, and partnering, testing, modeling and computer simulations. A closer look at programs modeled after the Fraunhofer institutes would be an excellent start.
The good news is that Canada has a handful of excellent organizations that are already doing this. Just to take one example, Go Productivity, an organization based out of Edmonton but with a Canadian mandate, provides coaching while encouraging firms to overcome their productivity barriers as part of a supportive community. Companies that are simultaneously going through the program meet regularly, share updates on their progress, and detail successes and learnings from their projects. Much like the Fraunhofer Society, Go Productivity's pragmatic approach can be credited to the fact that it was born out of a very pressing and immediate concern. Founded in 2008, its goal was to increase the capacity of an Alberta supply chain struggling to keep up with orders in the face of a booming oil and gas industries. Operating with a very modest $3 million annual budget, today it has worked with over 500 clients and achieved a 96% client satisfaction rate.
More research and thought leadership is urgently needed here to help the business community. The issue is not only about cash, but reassurance. Canadians do not have a problem in education or awareness or intelligence. It's a problem of psychology. As any serious athlete can tell you, this is oftentimes the most crucial barrier to crossing the finish line.

Have you always dreamt of having straighter teeth? Many patients, when asked what they would change about their smile, answer that they would like their teeth to be straighter. However, when they hear the word "orthodontics" they picture metal braces that are not just very obvious, but are also associated with lengthy treatment times and discomfort.
If this sounds familiar, we are confident we can help. Orthodontic treatment has advanced massively in recent years, and at Harley Street Dental Clinic our specialist orthodontists, Dr Sarah Neale and Dr Emma Laing, offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry solutions for Harley Street patients of all ages. Many modern orthodontic devices are so discreet that nobody will know you're having treatment.
Orthodontics is the specialist branch of dentistry that deals with the alignment of teeth, and with your bite (how your teeth meet together). The term "malocclusions" is used to describe improper bites, and can cover a range of conditions. You may be diagnosed at the clinic or may be referred to us by your dentist.
Our skilled Harley Street dentists will examine you and will recommend the best treatments for your condition, as the perfect treatment will vary from patient to patient. Among the options available are lingual braces, which act like regular braces but are placed on the back of your teeth; and Invisalign, a series of clear aligners that gently move your teeth into a new position. Invisalign are often called "removable braces" because you can take them out to eat and drink, and to clean your teeth.
In addition, we offer many other orthodontic treatments, including oral surgery to relieve jaw pain. Surgery is usually the last step taken and we may explore other treatment options first; however, when it is the best option we provide oral surgery at the Harley Street Dental Clinic, with full access to its state-of-the-art facilities including general anaesthesia if necessary, to help nervous patients receive the treatment they need.

The freedom of information act (FOIA) allows citizens to ask their governments for information. In the EU, the FOIA is unknown and the number of requests filed is low. The status quo is far behind its potential. A large amount of requests would lead to more transparency which would lead to good governance. The website AskTheEU.org simplifies the process for EU citizens. But in 2018, especially young people are accustomed to mobile apps. This is why we go one step further by building an app.
People claim that the EU lacks transparency but are unaware that they have the right to information. With an app, we increase the number of requests, which leads to more transparency, which leads to more trust into democracy. That right now is decreasing in Europe and therefore needed.
It will be easier to create new freedom of information requests and also to read requests from other people. All to together, barriers to freedom of information are lowered.
First, it has to be discussed what kind of features should be implemented into the app. Not all of the functionalities of the website can be included. Second, hawse have to determine what kind of additional functionally a smartphone offers, and how we can make use of it. For example, what can we do with the exact geolocation of a user? We will undertake some user research among most frequent users and users who would potentially use the site to answers these questions.
It happened to Johannes multiple times: he had ideas for requests during a bus ride. He could go through the struggle of using the mobile version of a freedom of information portal, but always thought "oh no, I will do it later", but actually, forget about them. Then, he realized: an app is needed.
1. The citizens of the European Union, especially the digital natives, who are are generally interested in politics.
2. But also the public bodies, because they have the legal obligation to respond to the requests.
What features should be in the app? What features should be in the app that a website could not offer (e.g. making the most out of geolocation)?

Bookkeeping must surely be one of the most time consuming tasks for practice managers – but the new generation of accounting systems can help to ease the burden.
Hall Liddy, in partnership with Xero, is now offering clients access to a new cloud-based system that is one of the most advanced to date.
We believe it could reduce the time spent on internal accounting duties by up to 75% in some practices, while offering improved reporting and value.
Andy Pow of Hall Liddy says: "More than a quarter of GP practices are still using paper accounting and many others are using older-style software. With HMRC planning to 'make tax digital', now is the time to consider your accounting system. New technology can simplify the bookkeeping process, ensure you are compliant with the new tax system and help you save time and money.
"We will be working with Xero to develop customise reporting and aim to make it the best and most advanced system for GP practices and healthcare professionals."
Here are some of the benefits of the new system:
• Meeting the new tax deadlines – the Making Tax Digital initiative which comes into force in April 2018 will mean accounting data will have to be submitted quarterly rather than annually, making paper-based systems highly impractical.
• Greater speed and efficiency – even those who are already using accounting software can benefit from faster processing speed and additional functionality.
• Reduce year end hassle – instead of you having to put together all your books and files for the accountant, Hall Liddy can simply access the data online. As we can view your accounts in real time, you can also call us with queries at any point during the year.
• Better management information – in the longer term, the insights that the new system will provide could help you manage your practice more effectively. We will be working with Xero to develop specific reports, such as comparing income streams and cost per patient.
• More cost-effective – in addition to the time savings and convenience, many practices will find the cost of the new system is lower than their existing software.
For those who want to move to the cloud, we will also be providing hands-on support to set up the system for you. For further information call Andy Pow or Lee Simmonett on 0161 832 7571 or email email@example.com or email@example.com.
