I neither am interested in giving out reasons for why they might be doing this but a few credible sources of information are spreading panic across social medias and people are helping those articles get viral.
As per my G.K. I think rather than being redundant, adamant and not accepting the change gracefully we can just help the government in its initiative. It doesn't happen everyday when government calls out for help to the general mass. The most ridiculous about this is that the chaos spreading around the social media is via the people who don't even have appropriate knowledge, just forget about their credibility on the topic they are ranting and are spreading nothing but just panic around.
I don't think I am capable of judging the whole Indian government or the officials that are working hard to change and make the system better so I would refrain myself on talking about economic effects and other super duper terms that these lame guys with click baits are using around.
You think you're enough capable of judging the Government and understand the whole Indian Economy or the World Economy? Even if you really are and still you're spreading panic around in this sort of emergency crisis than I feel sorry for you.
Its not bad at all when you're letting out your views, you surely can without any issues but make sure you apply some sense and logic behind that. Just keep in mind whom you're asking questions, asking questions and doubting the decisions are two different things. Surely it is democracy and people have the right to decide and choose but don't bluff anything about the things you don't know. All I can do is request to stop panicking blindly and co-operate with the people who are working out to bring out the change in the system which were waiting for god knows since when.
I don't have any intentions to offend anybody. Sorry if you're in case but just don't blindly bluff and spread panic around that's a sincere request.

Pigmentation, Sun damage & Melasma
The sun is harmful to your skin!
The signs of sun damage on the skin become visible from as early as the twenties. With the passing of time, these changes become more evident even if sun exposure is reduced or eliminated. That is to say, there can be a delayed appearance effect from sun exposure in earlier years.
Sun damaged skin is characterized by both fine and course wrinkle formation, irregular pigmentation, deterioration or unevenness of skin texture (especially drying of the skin), loss of elasticity and skin tone, sagging, and a sallow colour.
These skin changes are often accompanied by a loss of facial volume due to other ageing effects and enlarged capillaries which leads to redness and uneven complexion. Just a few minutes of regular, unprotected exposure to the harsh African sun can, over time, lead to noticeable changes in the skin.
Freckles, age spots, broken veins and a leathery appearance are but a few. This will progress to loose, wrinkled skin, uneven complexion and the development of solar keratoses (patches of rough wart-like skin – the precursor to certain types of skin cancer) or skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma or malignant melanomas.
Age or Sun Spots
These unwelcome patches of darkened skin are a result of photodamage, or simply put, inflammation caused by excessive sun exposure.
Age Spots are sometimes also referred to as 'liver spots' or 'sun spots'. These spots can occur on the face, hands, the back, legs, arms and décolletage. The more exposure to sunlight without liberal application of sunscreen with high SPF factors above 15, the more prone you are to these discolourations.
Melasma, also known as hormonal pigmentation, is a skin condition characterized by asymmetrically shaped patches of brown or blue-grey skin discolouration. It affects mostly women, but some men have been known to develop the condition.
The exact cause of Melasma is uncertain, but typically it develops in women during their reproductive years and is thought to be triggered by factors such as sun exposure, contraceptive medication or hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy.
People with darker skin tones are more prone to developing Melasma, and it usually appears on the cheeks, chin, forehead and upper lip. Melasma is a chronic condition which requires treatment and maintenance.
Treatment Options

Balancing Cleansers Will Give You Better Skin
It is something that you have probably heard 1,000,000 instances; utilizing a facial cleanser is a crucial a part of any skincare routine. Be a part of our e-mail list for Dr. Lancer's skincare recommendation and product improvements. The dual textured Material permits you to swap between a gently exfoliating Muslin for thorough cleansing, and an extremely-mushy terry aspect for delicate areas. The fragrance and allergen free formulation makes this mild cream cleanser straightforward on all skin varieties, together with delicate and zits-susceptible skin.
It's best for people with dry, delicate or combination pores and skin," says Dr. Elizabeth L. Tanzi. I love LUSH cleansers. Washes off properly and my face feels clear. Massage 2-4 pumps onto dry skin over your eyes, face and neck to dislodge impurities and stimulate circulation.
At its naturally acidic pH, skin's protective moisture barrier does its job effectively, holding out UV rays and free radicals as well as preventing moisture loss. Lastly, rinse your Bamboo Cloth in warm water, and wipe away cleanser and extra make-up.
Bar soap has a excessive pH (in the area of 9 to 10), and the pores and skin's surface pH is on average 4.7. 1 Because of this cleaning soap can change the stability current within the skin to favor the overgrowth of some kinds of micro organism , growing acne. You slather on salicylic acid , pour on vitamin C , apply sunscreen 24/7 (hopefully, if not, that's facet-eye we're sending via this screen)—but you still get breakouts, dullness, and what could be (gasp!) baby crow's-ft.
Pores and skin's pure pH hovers round 5, which is barely acidic. An exfoliating cleanser with microbeads of Jojoba that gently buffs away make-up, filth and lifeless pores and skin. Cleanse your skin and eliminate useless skin cell buildup without stripping pure oils.

By Haringey Racer
May 17 2019
I awoke on Friday morning to find a text Kev sent the previous evening (I'm one of those who isn't welded to his phone 24/7) from Kev asking if I would do the day 4 report. As the alternative was almost certainly more of Kev's ramblings, I took the view that two days of him out of four would be unfair on the readership and said 'yes'.
Given a full day's play it seemed certain that a result would be achieved. Kev, in his text, put it at 50:50, my pessimistic nature put Leicestershire ahead as I didn't think the pitch was as difficult as our middle order made it look on day 3 and the target was only another 270 runs with ten wickets and 96 overs available.
The day started with heavy cloud and the floodlights casting very heavy shadows. Helm opened from the Nursery End and beat Horton's outside edge twices in his first two overs. Bamber opened at the Pavilion End but barely threatened the stumps, bowling consistently wide of off stump although that didn't stop Horton almost dragging one on and missing a wild slash at another.
At this point the umpires decided, to no real surprise, that the shadows had become too heavy and took the players off for bad light. Bamber took advantage of the break to stay at the start of his run up with one of the coaches and discuss his angle of approach. At this point Kev arrived. Play resumed after a loss of 15 minutes (4 overs) but Leicestershire won't have been too worried about the effect on their task.
After the resumption Helm had a big appeal against Horton for a legside catch declined. Harris replaced Bamber and began with what can only be described as a 'mixed' over. First ball was a little bit wide and slashed wildly by Horton to third man to bring up the 50. Next ball was a wide that missed the cut strip by some margin but he followed that up with an absolute peach that trapped Javid lbw. Probably from sheer surprise at getting a straight one. Finally, he bowled an even bigger wide than the first, this time to the left-handed Azad, which gave Simpson that little bit more ground to cover and went to the boundary.
Helm finished his next over by switching round the wicket to the right-handed Horton with a mini-Bodyline field of a forward short leg, leg gully and a fine leg for the hook. The ball was fended by Horton between the two close fielders, not entirely comfortably. I was looking forward to a continuation of the ploy but instead Helm was replaced by Bamber who immediately had Horton lbw shuffling across his stumps and missing an attempted work to leg. That was 66-2 and brought Cosgrove to the crease. His first ball kept low, cut back and he did well to keep it out. Next over, however, two fours off Harris certainly settled any nerves he may have had. Around this point the over rate had dropped to a red zero and soon afterwards it fell further to -1.
A big inswinger to Azad from Harris, round the wicket, looked to me to miss the bat comfortably but pass very close to the top off stump. It was collected down the leg side by Simpson and there was a very confident appeal for a catch. The fielders had clearly heard something and I wondered if it was one of those that flicks the bail without dislodging it. In the same over he had an lbw against the same batsman turned down and while that was going on Scott threw down the stumps from point, but Azad hadn't left his ground.
Around this time things started to go wrong for Middlesex. First Azad edged Harris straight to first slip where Robson dropped as regulation a catch as one could wish for. Naturally he then rubbed salt into the wounds by hitting the next two balls for four. Things got worse next over when he drove straight to Gubbins, placed at short cover for exactly that shot, who dropped a chance every bit as easy as Robson's. Holden bowled the final over before lunch, although it only became the final over because he bowled two horrible wides to extend the over past 1pm. Lunch was taken at 97-2 from 39 overs, Cosgrove 19, Azad 15. The target was then 208 off 68 overs and Leicestershire would have felt they were in a strong position
Play resumed in light drizzle but that soon eased. Bowling round the wicket, Ollie Rayner was having trouble getting past umpire Ian Blackwell in his run up – there was a definite kink that isn't in his normal approach. It didn't seem to affect things once he got to the crease, however. Cosgrove survived a big lbw appeal about which Ollie was so confident that he appealed twice. Umpire Blackwell wasn't impressed by either appeal. But, next ball, Ollie adjusted his line sufficiently to satisfy Blackwell and Cosgrove became the 3rdlbw of the innings and the 12thof the match. 104-3.
That brought in Ackermann and he clearly felt the chase was still on as he started by driving Helm straight for four then playing the KP 'flamingo' shot past square leg for another. By now the light was worsening. Whether that had any influence on the pull from Ackermann off Rayner that hit Lace at short leg on the arm as he tried to take evasive action is debatable, but while Lace was receiving attention the umpires took a light reading and decided it was too dark to continue.
The break was brief, with only three more overs lost, and after the resumption Rayner turned one past Azad then saw Ackermann top edge a reverse sweep over slip. By now the clouds were getting heavier and another brief spell of bad light cost a further 2 overs.
Harris then produced the fourth (and, as it proved, final) lbw of the innings when he trapped Azad with one that kept low, just after completion of the 50 partnership (154-4). The new batsman, Dearden, had a narrow escape against Rayner, the ball appeared headed for the pads plumb in front until he brought the bat down very late, getting a leading edge but safely.
At 3.10 pm exactly (when any interruption would have meant an early tea) umpire Blackwell appeared to suggest to his colleague that the light had deteriorated sufficiently to allow him an early cake or two. Martin Saggers wasn't having that though and the teams stayed out. Soon afterwards Dearden sliced a lofted drive off Rayner and the ball swirled between short cover, cover and mid-off who all started for the catch. After a bit of hesitation, Bamber, from mid-off was the one who eventually went for it but although he got to the ball he couldn't hold on. A harder chance than the two previous ones, but he really should have held on.
Steve Eskinazi is clearly a sympathetic captain. Rather than leaving Bamber to fret in the outfield he was brought on to bowl the next over and immediately produced a sharp lifter that caused Ackermann to remove his hand from the bat quickly, then produced an inside edge just past the stumps. Dearden then appeared to top edge a sweep off Rayner but the ball still carried for 6. Another Rayner delivery spun through Dearden's gate, just clearing the stumps and beating Simpson for four byes. Tea was taken at 182-4, leaving 123 needed off 33 overs. Ackermann was well set on 43 and Dearden (11) was also looking dangerous. Advantage definitely with the visitors.
A mixture of rain and bad light delayed the resumption for almost half an hour with the loss of a further 7 overs, so that 123 off 33 had become 123 off 26. Ackermann reached his 50 with a four through midwicket followed by a single through point as Helm's direction faltered slightly. He then saw an attempted reverse sweep off Rayner fly over Simpson's head via the top edge for 4.
The left-handed Dearden pulled a legside delivery from Helm for four but was bowled next ball as Helm switched round the wicket with immediate effect. That was 206-5. The target was reduced to 79 off 18 overs when the final interruption came just after 5pm and, with the rain getting heavier, play was eventually abandoned at around 5.50.

Christians in Southwark
March 13 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Every week we bring together Christians in the Southwark area to connect, engage and seek ways to increase their impact at work.
The greatest tool God has given us to impact the world is our work. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible teaches that God cares about our work.
KC Workplace Connect provides the forum for Christians to come together in a locality to care, share and support one another to fruitfulness at work.
Ecclesiastes teaches the wisdom of Christian fellowship:
Two are better than one… Eccl. 4:9-12….More so at work
Why? Because the body of Christ is not meant to be separated, because we are at work.
We are simply better & stronger when we are together. It's true, our work is our worship. So we look to encourage each other with:
1. Principles which shape our life & work.
2. Purpose of our lives & existence.
3. Productivity how are we manifesting purpose.
4. Progress how we are growing in purpose.
5. Profits are the benefits that are accruing for God & ourselves as part of our labour.
If you are interested in having a meetup start near your area of work, email us at; firstname.lastname@example.com

The FINANCIAL -- Cushman & Wakefield has been ranked the #1 Commercial Real Estate firm for Tenant Representation for the third straight year, as part of the 5th annual 2016 Best of The National Law Journal Readers Rankings Survey.
"Legal sector tenants have honored us with this award for three years, providing a solid endorsement of our platform and the depth of our expertise," said Sherry Cushman, Executive Managing Director and Leader of Cushman & Wakefield's Legal Sector Advisory Group (LSAG). "Our industry-leading understanding of today's law firms has clearly proven valuable in helping our clients make strategic decisions."
Ms. Cushman attributes the firm's growing roster of highly-satisfied legal sector clients to the renewed investment the firm has made in bringing-to-bear its full suite of global capabilities and service offerings in a way that resonates with today's law firm decision-makers, according to Cushman & Wakefield.
"We work hard to be a trusted advisor and partner to our clients," said Joe Stettinius, Chief Executive Americas for Cushman & Wakefield. "Receiving this award, and being selected by law firms from across the country is a wonderful confirmation that we're achieving our goal."
Cushman & Wakefield launched its proprietary National Legal Sector Benchmark Survey in 2013 to gain a better understanding of the key business, financial and operational drivers affecting the legal sector. In the past three years, the number of respondents has grown to nearly 600 law firm decision-makers from across the globe. Included as part of the 2014 National Legal Sector Benchmark Survey Results were the responses to its first-ever National Associate Survey of more than 200 young lawyers from U.S. firms of varied sizes. The results of the 2015 National Legal Sector Benchmark Survey will be published in May, and include insights from over 1,100 legal professionals, managing partners and associates.

DAY WORK - Better Than Nothing but Not by Much
by Peter Gorman © all rights reserved
Most of the dozen middle-aged men sitting at the two picnic tables ignore him. A few ask how much he's willing to pay.
"Give you five dollars tomorrow if I work today."
"Man, I ain't worked in four days. I got my own problems," says a thin black man. "Don't pull that jailhouse in here."
"I am serious," implores Dave. "I am almost gone and I got to move up to get another day.""You may move up alright. Just kill us all and hope nobody notices."
It's 7:30 AM on a Monday morning. Seventy men—white, black, Mexican—sit in the four areas of the Fort Worth Day Labor Center, waiting for contractors, home owners and apartment managers to begin coming in looking for day workers. Each of the men have a number. Those with the good numbers, numbers one-through-30, sit on folding metal chairs in the dreary dull white front room where the contractors enter. The rest of the men, with little chance of getting out that day, sit in a large room with cafeteria tables, two televisions, a magazine stand and a computer, the ante-room, where the 10-cent coffee is sold, or a fenced-in outer area set aside for smokers.
If it's raining, less than a dozen men will get out. Electrical work, ditch digging, fence running, cement pouring, construction and lawn work isn't done when the weather is inclement. If it's a good sunny day maybe 30-40 guys will get out. Those who do may get lucky and work two or three days on a job. Once in a while somebody nails a month or two on the same gig. Those who go out come back in and move to the end of the number line again. The rest move up. Number 65 on Monday may be number 28 on Tuesday, and get out on Wednesday. Unless it's raining. Then number 28 may only move up three or four numbers. Rain all week and nobody works. Rent and mortgages don't get paid. End of the month guys are trying to move up slots by cleaning around the center to try to get that rent money together. A lot of the guys have held full time jobs most of their lives. Some are here because they're casualties of company layoffs and at 45-50 they're not in real demand anymore. Others are new to the US, don't speak English and probably aren't using their own social security numbers. Some are casualties of their own personal wars with bad marriages, booze, drugs, an inability to deal with authority. A few of them are just drifting through, some just don't like regular work and a couple are a little crazy.
The combined skills they possess could build a city: cement workers, electricians, plumbers, jackhammer operators, heavy machine operators, tool and dye men, steel workers, painters, landscapers, designers. And as the economy does its imitation of an accordian the skills increase: when it's good and everyone who wants to work has plenty, day laborers tend to be less skilled. When it's bad and second jobs evaporate, day laborer skills expand. According to Warren W., one of people who run the Center, right now the economy isn't good. "Lots of skilled people here now," he says. "You got a lot of fellows been looking for real work for months and who come in a few days a week just to make gas money to keep looking."
Gas money is about what they'll make: Few contractors come in offering more than $10 an hour and most offer seven or eight. If you get out twice in a week at eight bucks and do full days it only comes to $112, before Social Security is taken off. Still, it's paid by the day, so if you're feeding yourself or kids you can make do. And if you were looking for beer money, it'll work. Just so long as you don't come in smelling like it the next day—nobody looking stoned or smelling like beer or marijuana goes out. It's one of the rules they give you at orientation on your first day.
"Hello, my name is Diane and I work here," she starts, taking a seat at a cafeteria table in the center's big room. She's talking to two men who've never done day labor before and both, one white, one black, look as if they'd rather be anywhere but there. "We open at 6:30. Contractors generally start coming at 8, but some come earlier. We don't send anyone out for less than $7 an hour but most guys pay a little more than that. Some of the work is backbreaking, some of it is skilled. Don't go out on a job you don't know how to do. Don't learn on the job. If you do, the contractor might not pay you. We'll give you a number when you come in and that number moves up as guys go out. We roll the numbers over for the next day at 11 AM. If you're not here you lose your number so don't plan on leaving before then. After roll over we have a van and we'll take you to the Salvation Army or a church where you can get a bag lunch. But I am not your mother, your sister or your girlfriend. I'm not taking you to your friend's house, your sister's house, the place where you camp out. We have a bathroom where you can clean up, wash your hair, whatever, but if you mess it up, clean it up. And if you come in smelling like pot or alcohol or looking raggedy or stoned, you're not going out and you're losing your number. Any questions?"
The two men look at her, their eyes glazed. The black man is middle-aged, lean and good looking and dressed in clothes he bought someplace nice.
"How do we get paid?" he asks.
"The contractor pays you directly. Keep track of your hours and take his license plate number just in case he decides not to. We'll follow up."
"How many days a week do the guys get out?" asks the white guy, also middle aged and lost.
"That depends. We'll get you out as your number comes up, but if a contractor has someone he wants, he's doing the hiring, so he might jump the list. Also, some contractors don't want blacks, or Mexicans or whites, and there's nothing we can do about that. Once you know some contractors, if your work is good, they'll ask for you."
Both men sit all morning, the last numbers on the list. The other men in shape up look them over but don't pay them much attention. Just two new guys.
Both guys get out the second day: the white guy to watering plants at a condo complex on Belleview; the black guy on a clean up crew. The lawn work pays thirty dollars for three hours because the guy has his own truck. The clean up crew makes $42 for six hours of dirty work.
I got back out the third and fourth days as well, back to the condos and watering the thousands of plants and trees in the seven building complex. Twelve hours, $110, after social security, over three days. Not bad. If I could do that every week, I think, I'd be doing $440 a month, nearly enough to make up the difference between my regular work and keeping my little house.
The black guy doesn't get out for the rest of the week.
Fort Worth opened the Day Labor Center three years ago, at the insistence of Assistant City Manager Libby Watson. Teresa Carreon, who heads up the Center, says she and Watson worked on the project for two years before it opened. "The guys were waiting for day work on Vickery and Main and along Hemphill, tying up traffic," she says. "So we decided to open the Center for both economic reason for the guys and for traffic flow."
It took two years, she says, because the city wasn't quick to commit the funds it would take to run the center—about $230,000 annually from the general fund—and once funds were committed it was difficult to find a neighborhood who wanted it. "We wound up compromising on our criteria," she says. "We've got a great building but ideally we'd be on a bus route near where the guys worked on the street, where the contractors were used to picking them up. But there's an organization down near Vickery called Southside Inc., which already has Jack Brown's—another day work place—and the bunkhouse, where a lot of the guys stay, and I think Manpower may be there as well." And Southside Inc is looking to get those business out, not bring in new business like the Day Labor Center
The location she finally got was 15thAvenue on the westbound service road of I-30 at the Summit Ave. exit. It abuts a police station. Not easy to find, not near a bus route and not near where the guys had been shaping up. The problem, she says, is that the traditional image of day workers is that of surly drunks and druggies. It's an image created more in our imagination—perhaps from our need to distance ourselves from them—than one rooted in reality. Closer to the truth is that most of the guys are ourselves.
"The stereotype of the drunk or druggie day worker just isn't true anymore," says Debbie Kratky, of Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County. "In the first six months of this year alone we lost 2.180 full time jobs here in Tarrant. "Sixty-three separate large companies contributed to that, either by going out of business or downsizing. And the real number is considerably higher, since small companies don't have to report layoffs. And Lockheed, which contributed to that number, is nowhere near finished laying off the 3,000 they're planning to layoff altogether."
Kratky's work involves trying to get people looking for work matched up with available jobs, and keeping tabs on who's employed and who's not. "The real unemployment and underemployment figures are impossible to get. When 2,180 full-timers are let go, there's also a cut in overtime. Then there's the loss of second jobs people have, part time jobs that are not reported. And of course with so many companies using temp agencies to get people, where those people don't count as employees for the first three months, well, if those people are let go—or never officially hired—they don't show up anywhere. And then people who are still unemployed after their unemployment runs out are taken off the work roles, adding to the total unemployment. So that job loss figure really indicates that a whole lot of people are out of work or working less than they need or want to work."
Juan, a Latino-American day worker who was born in the Fort Worth area, is not atypical of the guys at the center. He's close to 50, good looking, clean and smart. "It's hard to find a good paying job right now," he says. "Lost my job of 22-years a couple of years ago. I was working at Texas Steel and they closed it up and sent all the jobs to Mexico, so now I'm here, trying to make a living. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. The irony is that my job went to Mexico and now I'm here competing with Mexicans for day work."
He's asked why he wound up at the center. "It's not like most of us want to be here, you know? Things happen. You lose your job you lose everything, really. You're used to making $1,200-$1,500 a week, that's a whole lot different than $250. You start losing everything. First your home, then your cars. We tried the Salvation Army and stayed together as a family for a while, till she decided to move on by herself. That's where we're at as a family."
Juan's got 11 kids, some of them grown. "My oldest boy is in Iraq. He's been there for six months now and he's got to do another several months before he can come back. He wrote to us a few months back that there are mortars and rounds flying around every day where he was stationed. Every time I pick up the paper and one of our soldiers is killed it gets me to thinking I may never get to see him again. I just don't know."
He doesn't speak about his circumstance with any self-pity. "As far as coming down here, it's alright. We're in the air conditioning in the summer and the heat in the winter. We get work maybe 2-3 days a week if we're lucky, maybe $65 or $70 a day if it's a good job."
The other places that use day labor don't pay nearly as much. The guys talk about Jack Brown's as a place where you can work but the money isn't very good. Brown has a concession for cleaning up the stadiums after Texas Ranger and Dallas Cowboy games, and supposedly takes care of one of the speedways too.
"Four hours work, $19.80 in your pocket," says Dave Parker, a book-carrying electrician from Houston getting back on his feet. "Easy work. Problem is they expect you to give them 12 house for that four hours work.
He explains that you're expected to sign in for the work at noon, even for night games, then sit until it's time to take a bus to the stadium near the end of the game. "Then you clean up, get transport back and 15 minutes later he gives you your money. Pain in the neck but it beats begging for food."
The first place I tried was Labor Ready, over in Mansfield. The place was a single sparse room with a sort of hotel lobby desk at one end. Probably 20 guys were milling about when I entered, mostly black, a few whites, few Latinos. The guy behind the desk had me wait while he sent nearly all the men out to work at the new Home Depot and Target construction sites on Wilshire Boulevard in Burleson. As they left they were told not to forget to put on work boots or they'd be sent home payless.
After they were gone he called me over and made photocopies of my driver's license and social security card. "Why you here?" he asked.
"Need some work."
"Get a job."
"Got a job. I'm a freelancer. Just need some extra money a couple of days a week."
He passed me what looked like a calculator and a sort of photo binder. "This is a qualification test," he said. "Seventy-five questions. Just press the button with the number of your answer on the pad then press the blue "go" button when you're ready for the next question. Got it?"
I opened the book and began the test. The questions dealt mostly with what street drugs I'd used recently, how often I'd hit employers and co-workers in the last year and with what, how I rated my fighting skills and how much I'd stolen in the same period of time. The same questions were asked over and over with slightly different phrasing. "If an employer curses at you, do you a) hit him; b) threaten his family; c) slash his tires; d) walk off the job. There were not many options for saying you'd probably ask him what was wrong or try to get him to stop cursing at you by simply suggesting he try another approach.
I finished the test and was told to wait a few minutes. Another fellow took it immediately after me. He was still working on it when the dispatcher called me over to the desk and said: "You didn't qualify."
"I didn't qualify? Why not?"
"Computer don't say why. Just that you didn't qualify."
For a moment it occurred to me that that was part of the test: If I leapt over the counter to throttle him, I'd fail. If I accepted my failure gracefully he'd call me back as I walked out the door.
He didn't.
The guys who'd worked at Labor Ready over at the Day Work center say I didn't miss much. "Minimum wage, charge you for transportation if you don't have your own car. Half the time they have you holding "Stop" and "Go" signs in the street."
In the world of day labor, holding signs is considerably below laying pipe or putting up drywall or installing fish ponds at millionaire's homes.
"The main difference between us and the other day labor places," explains Warren, "is that they're privately owned. They have to make a profit. Contractor is paying $8, the worker gets minimum, they take the difference. Here, we ask what they're paying so they known we know, but if you can make a better deal with the man outside, that okay. The money is yours, not ours."
Most of the guys, says Warren, a Human Services Coordinator with prior experience, stick around for a few months and then are gone. "I don't know what happens after that. Hopefully some of them get back into the swing of regular life with regular jobs. A percentage just move on to other cities, and some of them move with the seasons. My feeling is that the biggest percentage find work with somebody for a few months."
In his estimation, about half the guys who pass through would take a regular job if it were offered. The other half couldn't handle the responsibility. Some guys get the offers but the jobs don't make economic sense.
Juan says that he turned down a contractor who wanted to give him a regular job recently because the pay was low. "One guy from here wanted to hire me on full time for $6.50 an hour, but no benefits," he says. "For 35 hours that comes to $227.50 a week. By the time they take taxes out and you pay for transportation, you're still on the street. When I started at the steel mill in 1978 they were paying me $9.89 an hour as a helper, and that money went a lot further than it does today."
"That's an issue with a lot of guys," says Warren, when asked if Juan's response to low-pay full time work is typical. "A lot of the men, by the time they get here, they already lost everything. And they know they can't make it back on $6.50. Can't buy a car, and if you can't get a car, you can't work. Some of the guys out of here hook up with regular jobs paying much more than that. How you get by all depends on your perspective. On a day like today, with 30 guys going out, someone is going to pay these guys a total of maybe $2,600. Some guys complain they can't get work. Other guys say: 'Hey, somebody is going to help someone out of a problem today. I'm gonna go get work and get some of that money to fix my problem.'"
Some of the problems the men have are fixable; some aren't. Curtis Parrot, an 18-year-old with no kids and a place to stay, had a regular job until his boss got into a car wreck. "I heard about this place and came down and I'll work out of here until my boss is ready to go back to work. Unless his boss has found somebody else to replace him in the meantime."
Dave Parker is ready to leave Fort Worth and head back home to Houston, where he thinks he'll find good work as an electrician. "I only got here about three months ago," he says. "I was out of the day labor center in Pasadena. I'd finished 9-months in jail behind alcohol and I lost my cars and my tools to that, so I was out of work. I'd already lost my family to too much work—found out the hard way they need you a lot more than they need your money. Anyway, I hooked up with this guy who sells exotic birds at bird shows and I set up cages, showed the birds off, cleaned up. But by the time we got here, after about a month, the guy just drove me nuts. It was either quit or throw him off a bridge. So I quit. I picked Fort Worth because I thought I'd get good work, and it had good services—food and shelters—and I couldn't go back to Houston till I got my tools and car out of hock and caught up on my union dues. Took longer than I thought it would because of all that rain we had in June, and you got to eat so you get set back on what you put away, but that's life."
Floyd Quinlan, white haired, small and wiry, is nearly gone as well: a roofer who lost his business to what he calls a "problem marriage" caused in part by his drinking is only weeks away from getting his social security. He's been living under bridges for a couple of months since he returned to Fort Worth after a couple of years in El Paso, but says he's looking forward to having his own room again. "I don't like living on the street. It's my choice, I guess, since I got family in Huntsville, Alabama I could go stay with but I don't want to be a burden to them. When I get my money I'm going to go to Del Rio. I lived there for a couple of years before El Paso. I had a steady job there, working for a deputy sheriff, taking care of rent houses. It's real cheap down there, a nice place. You can get along."
Phil—he didn't want his last name used since he's from Fort Worth--a tall, strapping 50-year old who looks more like a contractor than a day worker, says he's almost gone as well, but for different reasons. "I'm either off the streets for good in the next year or I'm dead. If I don't have cirrosis I'm close to it and another year banging around will finish it."
He's been on and off the streets since 1991. "At that time I'd had a real bad heroin addiction for 12 years. You make two or three or four bad choices in your life and you've got a real problem. Especially if you lose your support system, your family, and drug addiction will make you lose that. I went to jail about three years after that on a misdemeanor—I pleaded guilty to go to jail because I wanted to get off methadone and heroin and I did. Problem was, I got out and started drinking. I worked labor halls for a couple of years, but you can't go on with that forever. All you do is make enough to stay drunk, buy cigarettes and a place to stay that night."
He worked the old day-work corner in downtown Ft. Worth for a while, and after a couple of years got himself a good job. "Construction. Mostly demolition and remodeling. I did that about four years but I kept drinking. Mostly I come down here when I have to and do what I have to do to survive, like most people. But then I'll make contact with someone I've worked with before and I'll be gone for a couple of months. Then I'll start drinking and pretty soon I'm back down here."
Not every guy at the center has problems as fixable as those. During the Reagan presidency budgets for institutions caring for the mentally handicapped were radically slashed, forcing tens of thousands of people who would probably be better served in an institution out onto the street. "Some of those guys," says Juan, "Just don't belong on the street."
One of them, a fellow named Abdullah, who used to come to the Day Labor Center, was good when he took his medicine, but like a lot of mentally challenged people, sometimes forgot. "He was the fellow knifed to death under that bridge a couple of weeks ago," says Juan. "He was alright, but he didn't belong out here."
"You'd be surprised," says Warren, but there's a whole sub-culture of predators who prey on the day workers. "They're the ones asking you where your staying, how many days you worked, where you're getting dropped off at night. If they know you're working, they know you have cash, and a lot of these guys make easy targets."
But predators and the mentally challenged aren't the primary difficulties keeping some of the guys out on the streets for long periods. "Child support and domestic issues are what mainly puts Anglos and African Americans on their behinds," he says. And DWIs. Man, you get that DWI and they impound your truck and your tools. If they keep you locked up for a month, you know your tools are not going to be there when you get your truck back. You just lost all that. So that brings a lot of guys here. You work construction and you don't have tools, it doesn't matter if you have the skills. You can't move with the job, you don't have a job.
"Then, some of these guys, they have a felony. There goes good work for most of them. It doesn't even have to be a bad felony: could be you're drinking and get in a fight, could be bad checks because you lost your job, or taking stuff from work."
Child support comes up regularly in conversation during shape up. A number of the men say they quit their regular jobs over it. One fellow who wouldn't even give a first name says he's $40,000 in arrears. "I can't work. She'll find me and I'm going to jail. Hell, I didn't mean to run away from my responsibility, but my ex never did spend the money I gave her for the kids on them. She made me so mad that's why I quit my job I the first place."
Others echo his sentiment, though Juan says a lot of them send money home. "I try to support my children too. Even the ones that are grown up, they ask me for money. Before I lost my job I always had money. Nowadays I'm giving them $12 or $50 instead of three or four hundred. That's all I'm giving them cause that's all I've got."
Second week at the center starts off okay. On Monday my number is 65 and it's a nice day so a bunch of guys get out. By rollover at 11 AM my number for Tuesday is 28. It should have been a gimmee that I'd be working, but when it starts to rain at about 8 AM, I'm not so sure. Two dreary hours and three 10-cent cups of coffee later only three or four guys have gone out. I overhear one guy saying he once sat three weeks without working. Another guy, a first-day man, grumbles after an hour and after two stands and announces "I'm outa here. I can make more money panhandling than sitting on my ass in this place," then storms out. The guys don't pay him any attention.
Wednesday is a little better and after another four hours of sitting I've moved up to number 11. I was thinking I'd get a callback from the plant-watering condo but with Tuesday's rain it doesn't come. By Thursday I have to work. I'm already down over $20 in gas money just showing up and so I move from the smoking area to the front room, and when contractors come in I move in like a vulture and stand in front of them to make sure they see me. The problem is that everybody else is doing it too because they havn't worked either. There aren't many, and when a truck or car pulls up in front of the center we all make for the front room, regardless of number. But the few who come know who they're looking for and ask for them by name. Only five guys from the list get work, leaving me number 6 for Friday. But Friday is another rainy day, and again nobody gets work. I move up one slot for Saturday.
Saturday was beautiful, with no hint of clouds in the sky. I'm there early. A contractor comes in looking for someone who can use a paint-spray rig. "If you can't use one, or if you make a mess, no pay," he announces. I've never used one. Job goes to someone else. Another guy comes in looking for people who use jackhammers. My number again but I never used one so again the job goes to another guy. Next guy comes in looking for thee people. Warren talks with him for a minute then tells the guy he'll pick his workers. He calls three young Mexican kids—way out of turn—and gives it to them. I ask him what's what.
"That job's not for you, Pete. Those kids are going to be standing in water past their knees shoveling muck all day. I tell him I don't care what the work is, that I'm down $30 in gas and havn't gone out all week. "I hear you," he says. "You and a lot of guys."
That was the last contractor who didn't know who he already wanted for the day. Six days. Five hours of travel a day. Gas money. No work.
"If a contractor doesn't know you, and you're a black or white American," says Phil, "chances are he's not going to take you. There's too many of us who are here because we've messed things up for ourselves one way or the other, so they don't want us. On the other hand, they figure the Mexicans are just here for work—maybe their papers aren't in order—and so they get picked. Just the way it is."
Warren admits that a lot of the work does go to the Mexicans. "But there's a reason for that," he says. "A lot of anglos and African-Americans are asking for an advance to buy smokes or something before they even start work. Sometimes they say the work's too dirty or they want more pay. Heck, I'll be sitting here with a contractor telling him he's got to pay better than he's offering for the kind of work he needs done and these young Mexican kids are already out the door and getting into his truck."
Asked if he's seen a change in the type and quality of worker coming through the door in the last three years, Warren says there's no question about it. "A lot of my guys have issues with alcohol. But every day we're seeing more clean cut guys in their thirties coming through. Maybe they lost their job to the economy, or maybe they lost their second job. Lots of people can't make it on one job, so they come in here for work. I get nearly 1,800 men a month through here—I get some women as well but I call them at home if something comes up that's right for them. A lot of those guys never thought they'd end up here, needing a day's work to feed their kids or keep the electric from being shut off."
Phil agrees. "There's no question that the majority of the white and black Americans here contributed to their problems. But like everything else in life there are other factors. It's not one hundred percent. You don't have to be a sorry, stupid son of a bitch to end up out here. You can get a divorce and end up here. You can have a couple of debts and end up here. You got a lot of people with education out here. And I'll tell you what: There's a whole shitload of people in Fort Worth right now who are just one or two paychecks or one bad break away from being out here."Take a number. Get in line.

According to research in mBio, a medical journal published by the American Society for Microbiology, one Houston hospital system is hosting a rising number of uncommon superbug bacteria.
To make matters worse, the superbug infections are resistant to nearly 30 different types of antibiotics.
RELATED: The last few days of March were lucrative for Houston Methodist, but the reputation of the city's No. 1 hospital is on the line after an employee was accused of raping a patient
From 2011 to 2015, over 1,700 patients were infected in the Houston Methodist hospital system with at least one type of strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae, which is known to cause bloodstream and respiratory infections.
A particularly rare form of the bacteria, known as clone type 307, was found to be most common in the sample, and experts believe the phenomenon cluster may be more than coincidentally linked to the Houston area.
That said, K. pneumoniae, like many other types of bacterium superbugs, is still actively evolving, and the "local superbug is no more virulent than the other strains," Houston Methodist Hospital Clinical Microbiology associate director Dr. S. Wesley Long said in an interview.
Dr. Long and experts aren't sure why the 307 strain is so common in Houston, but, although its resistance to treatment may be changing, there are still certain antibiotics available to patients.
RELATED: Competition between Houston's hospitals is alive and well, but you should be dying to know how the contest may impact you
"We are still trying to come to terms with what the implications are," Dr. Long said further. "We don't want to alarm anyone."

Inkling's iPad cookbook is selling like crazy
Inkling, the San Francisco startup that develops interactive iPad versions of college textbooks, made its first big step in courting the mainstream consumer a few weeks ago when it debuted its version of The Professional Chef, the official textbook of The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) chef school.
Turns out, it's working out pretty well.
This week, Inkling's Pro Chef title became the third highest-grossing iPad app on Apple's App Store, Inkling CEO Matt MacInnis said at the GigaOM RoadMap Conference in San Francisco Thursday. That's compared to all iPad apps worldwide. It also became the top-grossing iPad app in the App Store's "lifestyle" category.
As we wrote in the piece about the Pro Chef launch last month, the cookbook represented a bit of an inflection point for Inkling, which had up until then produced more strictly academic titles. Inkling thought that Pro Chef would have a wider appeal, MacInnis told me in a brief interview, but its current performance has certainly surpassed its expectations. This means that there will likely be more crowd-pleasing titles with crossover appeal in the future — and that's good news for students, as well as the rest of us.

But perhaps the reason is that in the area there are no opportunities for entertainment, available on other popular resorts in Australia. Therefore, in Bells Beach only come true fans of surfing.
Surfing Tour in Bali
Surfing in Bali
About surfing on BALI know about 30-ies of the last century. Since then a lot of waves rolling on the shore, so the skill of the local population in skating on the board can only envy … Or learn from the experience. Indeed, Bali is unique in that there are several Russian openly surf schools especially for tourists from our country.
Bali for every surfer – and novice and professional – there is a wave of its own. Almost any beach you can find fans of this extreme sport. But it's better to go to the beaches of Kuta and Legian, which are recognized surfing centers.
In winter, the most favorable conditions for skiing on waves – on the east coast of Bali. But if you're a beginner, be wary of dangerous reefs.
Surfing Tour in Egypt
Surfing in Egypt
EGYPT is popular with surfers for two reasons: there is great wind waves with suitable and very attractive pricing.
In this country you can ski all year round. Warm sun and wind constantly blowing always provide an opportunity to catch waves.
For the attention of tourists in Egypt are constantly competing two-surfing center – Hurghada and Dahab. But experienced surfers still prefer Hurghada, because here the most suitable conditions for skiing. But newcomers recommend Dahab there and starts skating small and quiet beaches.

He went nuts and started bawling. He's never even had a cavity before so I don't know what he's afraid of. There hasn't been any experience for him to build on. What do I do to help him? He's terrified now.

A guest post by Sally G.
This post has a theme song. 🙂
People Are Strange by Echo and the Bunnymen: http://tinysong.com/sECk
I gave myself a new title yesterday – Spirit Sleuth. From this point onward, I will observe everything around me as a Detective who is trying to solve a case. Everything that happens will hold within it a clue. Everyone who crosses my path will have something to do with the truth that I search. Nice to know that my English Major background will finally be put to good use!
When I brought in the mail, I was excited to see my woman's magazine had been delivered. I always look forward to reading through it at night with a hot cup of tea – my reward for a day that I've at last put behind me. I then decided to see it as a Spirit Sleuth would see it ~ what message for me lay somewhere on its cover?
Strong, Sexy, Stylish leaped off the page. It was in reference to the actress featured inside the issue – but it got me to thinking: if someone were to run a feature story about me, what three adjectives would they deem appropriate to scream from the page? And more importantly, what three adjectives would I desire to sum me up succinctly in a nano-second?
Dull, Forgettable, Strange. Hmmmm, not very flattering – and it would be the last time anyone ever featured me in their magazine, that's for sure.
Who spends money to read about Dull, Forgettable and Strange?
I'm going to make an executive decision here and forget about how others might define me. After all, that's been my 'problem' all along, hasn't it? Letting others define me and then living up to those expectations regardless of how well the adjectives fit?
I'm going to create myself as I'd like to be seen.
Spiritualists do that – they create themselves in the grandest version of the greatest vision that they can imagine. And I've decided that I am a Spiritualist – at least, I'm practicing to be one because I do believe it to be the most effective way to eventually replace my false Self with my authentic Self.
The vision I've been holding of me walking up to a closed door, opening it, throwing my arms around the Authentic Me that's waiting there and crying, "Oh thank heavens I've finally found you – we can be one at last and the role playing will end forever!" isn't really working for me. And I'm quite enjoying this idea of myself as a Spirit Sleuth – so, yes – I'm going to create three adjectives to describe me the way I would like to be seen, which is probably how I actually am, I just haven't fully found the confidence to act on that yet.
Fascinating, Funny, Fluid
I probably didn't have to use alliteration just because the magazine did – but I actually like this. If people knew what went on in this head of mine in the time it takes to blink, they might actually deem me fascinating. And I do have a different way of looking at the world – and I may also be the only person on the planet who has a fear of closed doors, so – Fascinating stays.
I also consider myself to be quite hilarious – I truly do crack myself up on quite a regular basis. Yes, not everyone seems to be on my wavelength and I do have a wit that requires you to pay attention to everything said up to my hilarious outburst because I do tend to play off what is being discussed and spin it into the humorous. But people who are capable of doing all that do tend to laugh too. And more than once people have looked at me differently and said, "Wow, you're funny." – like THAT was beyond imagining until just moments before. So, Funny stays too.
Besides, this ability I have to see a different spin on something being discussed really helps me with my present missive as a Spirit Sleuth – from what I can gather so far, you really have to look for what's not there and in the looking for what's not there, it suddenly becomes visible to the point that the entire event or exchange is completely about what was not even noticeable at first, leaving you to wonder how you ever missed it in the first place.
Which leads me to my final adjective: Fluid
If I do anything well, it's going with the flow. I mean, I'm learning to do that well now – I wasn't always fluid, I was more on the other end of the spectrum – very rigid. However, if you're going to dedicate your days to looking for things that aren't there and then affixing meaning to those things that only you see, and only you see them because only you are looking for them – then being rigid is only going to hold you back.
Fluidity, however, allows me to be involved in an interaction, oblivious to the clue it holds until I suddenly remember that I'm a Spirit Sleuth – and I then continue on as though I am still oblivious (because not to do so would probably completely freak out the other person or people in the exchange) but the whole time I'm really looking for the underlying meaning that could really change everything if I can find it, interpret it and then act upon it in kind.
It is not lost on me that this blog post could be entered as evidence in a future law suit launched to challenge my sanity.
Not that anyone would have any reason to do that – but if they did, I could see this working against me. Unless the lawyer was a Spirit Sleuth too. What are the odds of that though –- I've heard they don't even have souls.
Spirit Sleuthing is definitely no place for the Mediocre. And it can be lonely at times. What do you say – will you join me in my work?

Resolve Optics provides optical systems for surveillance, where the optical system monitors the outside of the spacecraft, looking for any signs of damage caused by space debris or micro meteorites.
Inspection, where the optical system is required to view a specific area to aid operation, is part of a vision system that is used to guide and dock payload craft visiting platforms, such as the International Space Station. Remote sensing from satellites, where powerful, high resolution lenses enable the Earth to be viewed from space, provide valuable data on weather patterns and the impact of climate change.
Many different types of optical imaging and sensing systems are used today to observe and measure the Earth and the universe at large. However, designing optical systems for satellites and spacecraft is challenging, due to the harsh conditions that space places upon components and systems working in this remote environment.
Mark Pontin, Managing Director of Resolve Optics Ltd., said that designing high performance optical systems for confidential space projects is something the company has done for more than 20 years. Lenses that are used in space applications have to meet certain basic requirements to survive the harsh environment of space. Lenses must be constructed of specific materials that will not outgas when exposed to the vacuum of space — all significant air spaces should be vented to avoid pressure on the elements and distortion of the lens. All materials directly down to glues and greases must be approved and tested for outgasing. The orbit that the firm's optical systems will be operating in determines how much radiation they will be required to withstand. All optical elements within Resolve Optics radiation tolerant lens designs are made using cerium oxide doped glass or synthetic silica enabling them to withstand radiation doses of up to 100,000,000 rads and temperatures up to 55 degrees C without discoloration or degradation of performance. These non browning lenses provide high image resolution and minimum geometric distortion from 400 to 750nm.

If you're a small business owner, keeping your list of email contacts up to date and tagged with attributes can be daunting work… but never doubt how important it is! According to HubSpot, the average list degrades by 22.5% per year. This means that Joe Smith is no longer with ABC Company, so his email is no longer any good. And it's easy to see why: in April 2016 alone, 5 million employees separated from their employers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That's 3.5% of the population.
We definitely don't live in the era of our grandparents, where adults would stay with the same company for an entire career. According to the U.S. Government, young adults 18-28 have already had an average of 7.2 jobs. Compare that with those adults that were born in the late years of the baby boom (1957-1964), who have had a total of 11.7 jobs from ages 18-48, according to the BLS.
Okay, I'm sure you get it. Keeping up with where your contacts are working is exhausting. So why should you do it? You have a relationship with these people. You've done business with them before. The chances are high that in their new role, they would still be interested in doing business with you. They are what I like to call "low hanging fruit." Keeping that in mind, here are some tips to ensure your database is current:
Now that you have all your contacts have up-to-date info, what's next? List segmentation! You definitely do not want to send the same content to every contact. It is important to create lists based on many different factors. Here are some examples:
You get this gist here; the options are limitless. The more relevant contact properties you have, the more options you will have when segmenting your list. The point here is that the more specific the list, the more specific your email or workflows can be providing relevant content to your contacts:
To stave off a deteriorating email contact database, it takes work. But if you keep your database current and segmented properly, you'll be well on your way toward maintaining valuable access to your contacts.

Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly is one of London's most famous department stores – and the world's oldest. Established over 300 years ago in 1707, it's quintessentially English and renowned for luxury hampers and food items. In 1999 Fortnum & Mason went global by launching an online store. Now, this old institution has taken it a step further and landed in my fabled land of Arabia, with its first store outside of the UK. That should tell us something about how the old world views the importance of being present in the Emirates. Kudos to Dubai and Fortnum & Mason!
Fortnum & Mason is located in a three-story standalone shop perfectly "sandwiched" between The Address Downtown and Dubai Mall. The ground floor consists of a delightful retail space offering Fortnum's famous teas, preserves and marmalade, confectionery, biscuits, hampers, tea accessories, silverware and lots more. The Tea Saloon on the first floor and The Parlour on the second floor have large terraces offering striking views of the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa.
Impeccable service made shopping easy. It's difficult to leave Fortnum & Mason without their signature shopping bag filled with some delectable goodies. Can't wait to see what they'll have on offer for Christmas! Afterwards we were guided up a red carpeted staircase. As I entered the rather small, but oh so refined and proper Tea Salon, I half expected to spot Mrs. Hyacinth Bucket (Sorry! Bouquet…) sitting at one of the white tablecloth covered tables. No Royal Doulton with hand-painted periwinkle to be seen… but I'm sure Mrs. Bouquet would be quite content drinking tea from F&M's St. James Eau de Nil fine bone china.
I guess asking for coffee was like swearing in church… but I'm just not a tea drinker! Anyway, the coffee left a lot to be desired, but that can be forgiven. This is after all a tea salon! What to order? Hmm… Afternoon Tea or High Tea? Oh dear! I didn't even know the difference. Where is Hyacinth when you need her? Our attentive waiter soon explained that High Tea includes a warm dish (plenty to choose from) as oppose to the (for me) more famous Afternoon Tea with finger sandwiches. But of course… both alternatives include scones and cakes.
My Eggs Royal arrived with a perfectly poached egg… but cold. The second time around the muffin, smoked salmon, poached egg and Hollandaise sauce arrived warm and perfectly matched. My husband's Lobster Omelet Victoria with lobster bisque and shaved truffles was served piping hot and tasted delicious. Sorry, but I forgot to take a picture!
Time had come for the afternoon's highlight. The oh so famous British scones with preserves and clotted cream. Is there anything more dignified than warm scones smeared with jam and a dollop of cream, accompanied by a pot of tea… or coffee? I don't think so!
The scones were warm, fluffy and tender, but the clotted cream was a bit too thick and dense in consistency for my liking, but the taste was good. After eating scones to our heart's content, it was time for cakes and lovely petit macaroons. The orange flavoured macaroon being my favourite. For my grand finale I had a huge piece of cake with raspberries and mascarpone cream, chosen from one of numerous cakes on display.
My next plan of action was to visit The Parlour – and indulge in Fortnum's famous ice cream, made in London and churned daily on site; but after stuffing myself with scones and cakes I never made it to the top floor. A bit upsetting really, considering I'm such a sucker for ice cream – my ultimate weakness. Next time I'll skip the red carpet and take the lift straight to The Parlour for a delightful and intoxicating ice cream sunday, the Knickerbocker Glory!

Sammy Is 'Puppy Cutie' and Adoptable in New Milford
Each Tuesday we feature a special Dog or Cat in our Pet of the Week segment, and this week we've got an adorable little puppy called Sammy who's looking for his first forever home.
His Mom is Jess, who's also at the Animal Welfare Society and available for adoption, along with his brother Jesse, and his sister Olive. Two other siblings have already been adopted.
Sammy is only 4 months old and looks to be a Collie, Shepard and possibly Hound mix, and he's ready to be taken home. He's been neutered, and has had all his vaccines, so all his needs now is a loving family who wants to give him a forever home.
He really has a great temperament, isvery loving, and very willing to learn, so he'll be easy to train. What else could you ask for.
Let's meet Sammy:
For more information about Sammy, and all the other adoptable Dogs and Cats, call the Animal Welfare Society at (860) 354-1350 or visit them on Dodd Road in New Milford.
They're open Tuesday from 11 AM to 7 PM, and Wednesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 2 PM.

Public lecture by Dr. Filippo Menga
Soft Power and Hegemony Theories The circle of hegemony
This lecture will provide an overview of the notions of power and hegemony in International Relations, illustrating the correlation of these concepts. The focus will then move to the "circle of hegemony", an analytical framework in which the various forms of power are "connective" in the function of hegemony. Examples from the case of Central Asia will be used to illustrate the theory.
Dec. 12, 2014 – 17.30 PM
Vilnius University, J. Kovalevskio Auditorija
Main building, Faculty of Philology, Universiteto g. 3
Filippo Menga holds a Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Cagliari. He has been visiting researcher at St Andrews University and King's College London, and he is now visiting fellow at Tallinn University. Previously he worked for the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia (UNRCCA) in Turkmenistan, where he dealt with the management and sharing of natural resources in the region.

WhatsApp, with its billions of active users pouring in messages in form of texts and other media is seen as a suitable platform for business marketing.
A tool to analyze its statistics, like how many people messaged or, how many messages are received per day, or the most frequently used emoji etc., will effectively improve business prospects.
Analytics is the process of gathering insights from raw data. The gamut of analytics starts from procuring data and develops into using the insights and trends from the procured data to make conscious decision.
WhatsApp is striding forward as a great marketing tool, with many businesses engaging in spontaneous one-to-one interaction with clients, chat and chat analytics is a key factor to be taken note of. Chat analytics is now being offered by many as a tool to keep track of the activity on the groups and broadcast created for customer interaction.
With growing data and complexity, data analytics gives an edge to companies that make proper and effective use of it. The advantages of investing in cutting edge analytics are limitless, with the increasing use of smartphones which has spawned digitization across borders. Investing in analytics will only boost your business provided you take it seriously and make amendments as and when required according to the public sentiment which gets reflected through a peek into analytic studies. The data science helps one to understand trends and preferences and modalities of the end user according to which businesses can work upon their products to improve it.
The analytic tools usually record the conversations of mostly businesses with their clients and by seeing data in an organized manner it helps to gain invaluable insights into the respective business. They provide the metrics on the usage like the number of messages that pour in, average number of messages per person or average number of customers sending in messages per day and so on and so forth. Besides, they run Natural Language Processors on the content to determine hidden sentiment in chat.
Data is available through customers' mobile app usage, digital clicks, interactions on social media and more, all contributing to a data fingerprint that is completely unique to its owner. Companies must take advantage of this to provide the best customer experience.
The analytics help to gauge the response of customers. Companies must be extremely receptive to tackle with the volatility of the customers. The chat analytics will help to track these changing preferences and engage in a conversation in real time to make them feel personally valued. The greater the amount of data, greater is the opportunity for basing interactions on the personality and the choices of the customers.
The success of any business would be directly proportional to its adaptability to customer vagaries. If you are able to effectively collate data and simultaneously inspect and incorporate the analytics, you can stay competitive when demand changes or new technology is developed. The analytics anticipates market demands by using NLP to extract user sentiment and provide the product before it is requested.
The location intelligence analytics is helpful in knowing where your customers are mostly located and thereby organize your product availability and product features catering to the attitudes and preferences of the people of the place.
Being the products of this digitized era, one procures most data online through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. By following the number of likes, tweets, re-posts, retweets emoticons and comments by taking advantage of the analytics feature one can measure the overall effectiveness of your social media strategy. The abundant data insights from this can be used thoughtfully to create posts with a greater impact in order to multiply followers and convert them into possible customers.
With the data sources galore online, it's never been easier to utilize analytics to affect business processes productively.
