The Apocalypse: A Literary and Theological Commentary
(Cleveland, TN: CTP Press, 2012). Pp. xvii + 716. Paperback. ISBN 9781935931270. $US29.95 RRP.
This new commentary on the Book of Revelation comes from Professor John Christopher Thomas who serves at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary in Cleveland, Tennessee, and is the Director of the Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies at Bangor University in Wales. It is promoted (on the back cover) as a specifically Pentecostal reading of Revelation, "the most extensive reading of the Apocalypse offered by a Pentecostal scholar to date," "shaped by the Pentecostal and wider communities" which "reflects the heart of Pentecostal theology and spirituality." We are led to expect an interpretation that is both scholarly and Pentecostal and by and large that's what we find here.
The commentary begins with a lengthy Introduction, notable for its discussion of the structure of Revelation, as shown in phrases such as "in the Spirit" and "and I saw" and the series of sevens (2–8), and the genre/s of the text, where Thomas emphasises that Revelation is designed for "oral enactment" (8), "comes from a prophetic community" (13), draws on the "apocalyptic conceptual world" (16) and has a strong intertextual relationship with the Old Testament. Thomas goes on to discuss the canonical function of Revelation and its implied audience, which Thomas characterises as a group familiar with both the Old Testament and the Johannine community literature and as "people of the Spirit" (24). He points out that the members of this group include a number of significant women and they all face significant pressure for their witness to Jesus. There is an extended discussion of the date of composition, which Thomas views as deliberately ambiguous (39), and of the authorship of the text, leading to the modest conclusion that John was at least part of the Johannine community. The Introduction concludes with a (35 page) discussion of the interpretation and influence of Revelation over the centuries, including "disastrous interpretations" (51), other Johannine apocalypses, art, music, poetry, film and commentaries. Remarkably, there is here no discussion of its influence on modern Pentecostalism or previous Pentecostal interpreters, other than a single poem from 1907 (73–74). Much of the discussion in the Introduction underpins the subsequent commentary proper.
Perhaps the two most noticeable distinctive features of Thomas' commentary are its constant attention to the experience of the original hearers, which shapes the language of almost every part of the commentary, and its characterisation of these hearers as a Johannine community familiar with the Fourth Gospel and the Letters of John, texts that Thomas has previously written on. There are therefore very frequent references to this Johannine literature throughout the book. The emphasis on the original hearers is refreshing but very repetitive and, for me, eventually a little tiring. Another distinctive feature, which reflects the author's Pentecostalism, is the frequent reference to "pneumatic discernment" in relation to how the original audience would interpret the imagery, symbols and narrative features of the text. Here Thomas brings in fruitful discussion of potential intertextual references from the Old Testament, the Johannine texts and other ancient sources but not a lot of specifically 'pneumatic' features.
Thomas offers detailed comments on every verse, as one would expect from a commentary of this length, informed by analysis of the Greek text and some conversation with secondary sources, though mostly he avoids extended discussion of other views and rarely quotes from other authors, referring to them only in footnotes. He also avoids taking positions on the bigger interpretive disputes related to the major readings of Revelation. Sometimes this means that he glosses over areas of dissonance but it also means that the writing flows.
As a Pentecostal reader, I was interested to see how much the commentary would contribute a distinctively Pentecostal perspective to illuminate the text, especially as some other recent commentaries by Pentecostals, such as Gordon Fee, hardly attempted this. Thomas' commentary has a mixed track record in this case. Certainly he gives due attention to the work of the Spirit/s in Revelation and the role of the Spirit in the church's witness and Christian prophecy, especially in his discussion of Rev 19:10 (572–73). He has some intriguing suggestions about pneumatic interpretation and ""writing in the Spirit," where he suggests an analogy with speaking in tongues (44–45). His Pentecostalism probably influences his missiological emphasis, which may also owe something to Richard Bauckham, an acknowledged inspiration for Thomas' research on Revelation (x). Like Bauckham, Thomas sees John as envisaging the conversion of the nations in a much more optimistic and inclusive sense than many conservative writers (654–61). After mentioning Pentecostalism's "fivefold gospel" (ix), Thomas fails to investigate whether or not Revelation supports this, especially the idea of Jesus as Holy Spirit Baptiser. He also makes very little reference to potential intertextual links with the Book of Acts, Pentecostalism's central New Testament text, and rarely engages with other Pentecostal interpretations of the Apocalypse.
In conclusion, Thomas has given us a readable, useful, credible and focused commentary informed by a broadly Pentecostal perspective, which offers its own distinctive contribution to the ongoing discussion of the Apocalypse.

Robots. Facial recognition technology. Virtual and augmented reality. There's a seemingly unending stream of cool tech tools flowing out of research-and-development centers and into all corners of the meeting and hospitality industries. It's influencing hotel and event check-in processes, adding bells and whistles to guest rooms, and innovating meeting spaces. To borrow from Thomas Dolby, they're blinding us with science.
Some companies get it. "We realize guests bring multiple mobile devices and need to stay productive," says Gary Murakami, director of global sales for MGM Resorts International and member of the board of directors for the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA). "In Las Vegas, we offer high-speed, seamless connectivity over all our properties. And if you're using multiple properties, it spans to wherever you are."
Wi-Fi may be experiencing a plateau of productivity in Vegas. But in Sin City and all over the country, tech gadgets exist in all stages of the Gartner Hype Cycle. How the toys and tools are integrated into traditional hospitality will be the measure of success.
"It's all about the customization and curation of the experience," says Murakami. "Whether you're holding a meeting for 10 or 10,000 people, technology is now at the center of what we're focusing on."
Here are some examples of technology that's hacking its way into your next event and hotel stay:Chatbots
Amazon's Alexa and Echo, and Google Home, are residence-based examples of chatbots that employ artificial intelligence (AI) to receive and respond to questions with audible, humanlike capabilities.
First, a definition: AI is a broad term that is applied to a machine that mimics cognitive functions we associate with the human mind, such as "learning" and "problem solving." Technology labeled as AI tends to change from year to year, and yes, it's been a scientific vocabulary word since the 1950s.
Corbin Ball points out that the Wynn Las Vegas is putting the Amazon Echo in every one of its upscale hotel suites. The Echo can be used to control the TV and thermostat, raise and lower the blinds, and contact the concierge desk to make requests.
"It's great, though there is some concern that the chatbot is always on and listening to you," says Ball, a meetings industry speaker and technology expert.
He adds that the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Vegas offers a text-based chatbot concierge -- named Rose -- that's programmed with a little … attitude. At check-in, guests receive a card that says, "I am the answer to the question you never asked; know my secrets. Text me."

Our blog on communicating in meetings outlined a range of ways you can ensure effective communication while at work. However, whenever you need to communicate with your boss or your head of department, there are just a couple of points you ought to consider:
Get straight to the point
One of the main things that matters in this sort of a situation is time. Higher-ups are generally busy so their time is precious. This means they will often prefer you to get to the point straight away. Start your conversation, meeting or presentation by telling them exactly what you want from them. You can then go on to explain how it will be of benefit or how you will go about doing what you suggest.
Choose your angle wisely
Not much different to when you speak to anyone else, to really get the execs on board it's important to talk about things that are on their agenda. How a process change will affect your and your colleagues' personal lives may not be high on their list of worries. Instead they are more likely to be concerned with how it will impact their business goals, including for example productivity, profitability and customer satisfaction. So, pitch your concern taking into account their perspective and priorities. This will allow you to present the information that matters to them.
So, when communicating with your superiors at work, it is best to cut the waffle and approach the topic from an angle that matters to them.

Gregory Thornton wants to fly pretty much below the radar right now.
The incoming superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools says he doesn't take over until July 1, he doesn't want to interfere with the current superintendent, William Andrekopoulos, and he's just beginning to know the people and issues in his visits to Milwaukee. So he doesn't want to get too specific or out front with what he wants to do with his new job.
But talk to him for 75 minutes in a private room at a cafe and you begin to see where he wants to go, and it includes places that might please some who didn't favor him being hired and displease some who did.
In short: If you like what Michael Bonds is doing as president of the School Board, there's a strong chance you'll like Thornton.
Bonds has become a strong force within MPS in the year since he became head of the nine-member board. He is assertive, firm and smart politically. He wants the board to have more power over MPS, and that's happening. He was at the center of the fight to stop Gov. Jim Doyle and Mayor Tom Barrett's bid to switch to mayoral control of MPS, and he's winning.
Bonds pushed the process to pick a superintendent when some civic leaders wanted him to wait. It looks as if the result is that he is gaining a partner in leading MPS.
Thornton, a Philadelphia native who was previously a high-ranking official in the school system there, is superintendent of a small but challenging district near Philadelphia.
Thornton certainly has a warm personality, and Bonds says Thornton's eagerness to connect with people will be a big plus. That doesn't mean Thornton is an inspiring figure. He says building the morale of employees is not a central goal. He wants to focus on improving academics and running the operation well.
What do you hear when you listen to Thornton? Based on his only conversation for publication in Milwaukee since his appointment, here are a few answers:
• Optimism. That's just about a job requirement for a superintendent. Thornton has been meeting with groups of MPS employees, and his message generally has been that MPS has a lot of problems but a lot of potential. "The conditions for success are certainly here," he said. There are urban school districts in the country that ought to be shut down so people can start over, he said. Milwaukee isn't one of them. There's a lot of talent within MPS, he said.
• Business rhetoric. Thornton talks like a corporate leader. Several times, he compared running MPS to running a factory, in terms of pleasing customers and providing a consistent, quality product. As a business, MPS needs to be quicker, better and more efficient, he said. "We've got to make certain in this very dynamic market that we have the best product," he said.
• No demands for more money. That also is true of Bonds, who never has said MPS should ask state government for more money and who says there are ways MPS could save millions of dollars. Thornton indicated he agrees. Money issues are "a challenge, but not insurmountable," he said, and there will be "hard, painful decisions." But legislators are right to ask MPS leaders what they are doing with the money they get now, and MPS needs to have good answers, he said.
This leads to him saying that MPS has to make changes in its generous employee and retiree benefits - also something Bonds says. Thornton said he understands the history of MPS' generous benefits, but, "We're in a place where we just can't do them anymore. . . . Now we've got to go to a different place."
This could quickly put Thornton into conflict with teachers union leaders who were strong supporters of the School Board, rather than the mayor, picking a superintendent, and with a group of activists who want to push Madison for higher school aid statewide. It might, conversely, appeal to business leaders who look on MPS so skeptically.
• Calls for more accountability. Accountability can mean a lot of different things to different people involved in schools, but Thornton said he wants "clear, clear, clear" expectations of what kids are expected to learn and stronger systems of holding people responsible for seeing students meet those expectations. He also supported the use of tests as overall measurements - "What gets measured gets done," he said.
• Support for a broad curriculum. He said strong academics are his first priority. That means not only getting better test scores in reading and math, but offering good programs in arts, social studies, sports and other things that are part of a strong education - and that are waning in MPS. He also said he supports early childhood education as valuable to heading off problems in later years, and more parent involvement.
Thornton may not be the superintendent people such as Doyle and Barrett wanted. But starting July 1, he's going to be the only one MPS has.
He is trying to establish relationships all around, including meetings in these early days with Doyle and Barrett. He also is spending quite a bit of his Milwaukee time with Andrekopoulos, who was part of our conversation. The two appeared to agree on most everything.
Thornton hopes people, from parents to top politicians, will work with him.
"We're prepared to have the hard conversations around the issues," he said. "This is a defining moment for the city and a defining moment for the state. . . . Do we have the will to do what is necessary for young people to be successful?"

So today I did some fine-tuning on the audio settings for the file to ensure that we could hear what Jeffrey was saying consistently throughout the video. I can now officially say after meeting with him that we are taking what we've learned to make a better pitch. This is going to include both of us, likely over Skype and together, recording different parts of the pitch so that we' re both trying to sell the project. We'll then put the recordings over Maria's artwork and screenshots of pages so that it's visually interesting. I'm pretty excited about this new approach.
The meeting was also pretty helpful as we discuss other things including legal and the Indiegogo teaser (which we still plan to put before the pitch video). We need new shots of woods to go with the cast recordings. We're on the right path though as we get closer to having two high quality videos!

The Gods in the Iliad
The gods take sides in the Iliad.
The gods help their favorite mortals both directly and indirectly. Mortals fight gods and gods fight each other. The world of the Iliad is a world of cosmic conflict. On the side of the Greeks are:On the side of the Trojans are: Athena Aphrodite
Hera Apollo
Poseidon Artemis
Hermes Leto
Zeus tries to stay above the fray and stand for justice and fate. He uses the scales of fate and justice to determine his actions, but he can also be persuaded by personal petitions from the gods. Also look for the gods' role in scenes highlighting their functions. For example: Oath or swearing scenes: Zeus
Guest friendship or xenia: Zeus
Prophecy: Apollo
Message bearing: Iris or Hermes
Divine Epithets:
Homer does not always refer to characters by their names. He can also refer to them via epithets or nicknames. For example: Atreides = Agamemnon and Menelaus
Son of Menoitios = Patroklos
Gerenian horseman = Nestor
The same is true for the gods. See how many gods you can recognize here: Which god is "father of gods and men"?
Which goddess is owl-eyed?
Which goddess is ox-eyed?
Which god is the Lord of Hera?
Which god is Argeiphontes or "the Guide"?
Which god is "lord of the shining bolt"?
Which god is "he who strikes from afar"?
Which god is "lord of the silver bow"?
Which god is "god of the dragging feet"?
Which goddess is "goddess of the white arms"?
Which goddess is Tritongeneia?
Which god is the Son of Kronos?
Which goddess is the Kyprian or the Lady of Kypros?
Which god is "Worker from Afar"?
Which god is the earth-shaker?
Which god is Phoibos?
Which goddess is Pallas?

Effect of Plasma Damage by PECVD Silicon Nitride Deposition on the Performance of Silicon Inversion Layer Solar Cells
R. Hezel
For MIS inversion layer solar cells, PECVD silicon nitride is used as charged dielectric and antireflection layer. It was found that plasma damage occurring at the silicon surface during film deposition does not significantly affect the initial cell performance, but causes degradation of the devices under ultraviolet light. This is attributed to the generation of interface states during the plasma deposition process, accompanied by their simultaneous passivation with hydrogen. These "latent" states can be activated by UV light.

|new OnePlus 7 Pro phone features
The new OnePlus 7 Pro phone features a supported HDR10 + screen with 4000 lumens per second and UFS 3.0 storage
New OnePlus is only 7 weeks to attend the launch event, but before that, the Chinese manufacturer announced that the new OnePlus 7 Pro phone screen will receive the HDR10 + certification.
With the HDR10 + certification, the Pro 7 screen will provide a more dynamic, detailed and vivid viewing experience for users.
The HDR10 + is an outstanding display technology that is found only on some high-end TVs and smartphones.
But now, the Chinese manufacturer has assembled its latest leading show with this technology to provide an unmatched viewing experience for users directly on their new smartphones.
HDR10 + provides frame-by-frame adjustments for optimal representation of contrast from HDR source content.
Not only that, the HDR10 + also produces 4000 lumens of peak brightness, with a huge height of 3,000 lumens brightness compared to the HDR10.
This information came after OnePlus announced that new phone OnePlus 7 Pro was rated A + by DisplayMate, a leading screen leader and well-known in-depth measurement and measurement of smartphone screens.
From there, we have found that the latest OnePlus packages offer HDR10 + certification.
"HDR10 + is the future of not only TV screens, but also smart phone screens." We hope that our latest device sets a new standard for the smartphone industry and opens up a new world of optical liquidity for users. " CEO of OnePlus Pete Lau said in a statement. "We are delighted to be leading the way in sharing high-quality technology with the world."
In addition to the supported HDR10 + monitor, OnePlus 7 Pro also supports UFS 3.0 storage, making it the first phone to be marketed using this technology.
This announcement was made by CEO of OnePlus on Twitter claiming that the new phone will be faster than "similar smartphones".
"OnePlus 7 Pro having UFS 3.0 storage means it'll just be overall faster than comparable smartphones."— Pete Lau (@PeteLau) ٥ مايو ٢٠١٩
Yes, the OnePlus 7 Series will include UFS 3.0 to give you next level #fastandsmooth experience. 😎 #OnePlus7Series
UFS 3.0 storage technology was announced again in 2018, however, they do not show up for the first time on any smartphone.
But now, OnePlus 7 Pro will be the first smartphone to enable this technology. UFS 3.0 has achieved significant improvements in serial read and write speeds and bandwidth multiplexing for each lane.
This will allow OnePlus 7 Pro to provide faster application uptime, faster download time on games, faster boot and faster image rendering. UFS 3.0 comes with a data rate of up to 23.2 Gbps and up to 11.6 Gbps per lane.
At the same time, the new OnePlus 7 Pro phone was launched by setting up the tri-rear camera, a pop-up silhouette sensor.
It will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Soc and will be equipped with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage.
The OnePlus 7 Pro application is priced at a starting price of 49,999 rupees in India.

GULLANE, Scotland — Tiger Woods met with the media on Tuesday morning at Muirfield Golf Club in his pre-Open press conference. Woods, who was again thwarted from teeing off before 7am for his practice round, said it was no big deal since he had only planned to play nine holes every day, anyway.
While he insists his left elbow, which gave him grief at last month's U.S. Open, isn't troubling him, it has forced him to be more prudent in his preparation for the Open Championship that kicks off on Thursday.

Basic BMW Z3 Suspension Modifications by Mike Fishwick
Article reproduced with kind permission from Mike Fishwick
Body Bracing
Back in the days when cars had a separate chassis it was not unusual for the driver to see that the radiator and bonnet were moving relative to the scuttle – the front of the body's rigid area, on which the windscreen was mounted – as the chassis flexed. This phenomenon was known as 'Scuttle Shake,' and largely passed away with the advent of monocoque body structures.
Many motoring writers, however, still claim that the Z3 suffers from scuttle shake, this being a catch-all term for any suspension-related problem, from a harsh ride on poor surfaces to tramlining, while their more technically aware colleagues like to blame a lack of torsional rigidity. A high torsional rigidity value is not, however, guaranteed to provide the ultimate in handling qualities.
When the body is fitted to a torsional measurement jig, it is bolted down via the suspension mounting points – in terms of a Z3 this means the threads into which the rear cross-member studs attach, and those onto which the front cross-member is bolted. One end is held stationary while the other is twisted, the resultant angle of movement and effort being recorded to give a figure in kilogrammes per degree.
The test is therefore based on the application of equal loads at each corner of the car, a situation which does not occur in normal driving, and it does not apply loads into the structure where it will absorb suspension loadings from the springs.
As a test of the body structure, this does not include any additional flexibility resulting from the suspension and its mountings, and in terms of handling qualities means little in terms of a complete car, on which the overall rigidity is dictated by that of the most flexible components. Major sources of such flexibility on a Z3 are the space between the front suspension strut mounts and the studs onto which the rear suspension cross-member is mounted.
In this case, one could be excused for wondering why car bodies are now much stiffer, if the other components have remained flexible. The answer is simply that the great increase in body stiffness over recent years has been driven more by crash safety requirements in roll-over situations rather than improved handling, which is not very high in the priorities of most drivers. Remember – a BMW survey found that less than 4% of Z3 buyers were concerned with trivia such as handling and performance!
Although the basic handling deficiencies of a Z3 are minor ones, capable of being easily cured by stiffening the main rubber bushes at either end of the car, like any other structure it can be usefully stiffened if it is desired to bring handling qualities towards a more optimum level.
Strut Brace:
The most popular modification is undoubtedly a strut brace, many owners claiming that it can make a vast difference in terms of 'scuttle shake,' steering response and general stiffness. While I would never suggest such claims to be exaggerated, I do wonder if they may be in proportion to the amount of glitter a polished brace will add to one's engine bay . . .
These claims do however contain quite a bit of truth, as any reinforcement in the space between the suspension struts must resist their tendency to lean inwards under suspension loads, and so help to maintain the designed steering geometry.
Without any other modifications to the suspension of my 1998 2.8 model, I certainly noticed a small improvement in initial steering response, and a slight reduction in tramlining, from dreadful to just awful!
Strut brace designed to fit around the inlet manifold of a four-cylinder car – a straight type is always better
I am however using a tubular Hamann brace of the 'bent' type, this being designed to fit around the intake manifold of the 1.9 litre M44 engine. While this design is widely used, particularly on the E30, it can never be as effective as one using a straight tube or beam, but is certainly better than nothing. My next birthday present will be a 'straight' brace, manufactured in thin steel at £205 by Strong-Strut of the USA, which as the ultimate strut brace will make an interesting comparison.
To sum up, a strut brace is easy to fit, and is certainly an effective modification, but the more expensive types (Dinan, AC Schnitzer etc) are no more effective than cheaper equivalents, if of a similar 'straight' design. The weight saving of an aluminium brace ('Aircraft quality,' naturally!) compared to steel represents such a small percentage in terms of the total weight of the car and passengers that it is not worth mentioning. A steel brace will, however, resist an offset load better than one of aluminium, and most designs introduce a slightly offset loading between the strut tower and the brace.
Butt Strut:
If, like me, you spend many happy hours lying under your Z3 contemplating its well-polished final drive cover and the glittering black paintwork of the rear suspension, you may have noticed that the suspension is mounted on a large cross-member, via bushes secured to the bodyshell by a pair of 13 mm studs about 200 mm long.
These studs are braced to the insides of the door sills by thin triangular steel plates about 2 mm thick, which are not an ideal solution to absorb the considerable cornering loads which can be generated by the 245-40 section rear tyres.
This is a design which has been passed down by generations of BMW cars, and while satisfactory back in the 'seventies on a 2002 with relatively thin tyres, it now begins to show its limitations on the Z3. What we basically have is a long thin 'box,' with the base and rear side removed. One end of each cross-member stud is secured to the top of this box, the other ends being braced to the narrow sides by their triangular plates, which make a valiant – and partially successful – attempt to substitute for the missing base and side.
Butt Strut – it makes a far larger improvement than a strut brace
This obviously permits the lower ends of the studs to move slightly in response to cornering loads, giving a 'squirm' to the rear tyres which introduces an unwanted steering action. If the open base of the box could be closed, the situation would be somewhat improved, as the bracing plates could then share the loads, which are mostly carried by one or the other. Stiffer bracing plates would also help.
The answer to this problem lies in the 'Butt Strut,' another product of Strong-Strut, which is also applicable to the E30 and E36 Compact, as well as the Z3. It takes the form of a thick aluminium strip, bent where necessary to clear the exhaust pipes and final drive. This strip bolts to the cross-member studs by means of special sleeve nuts and spacers, so making them share the lateral suspension loadings and reducing their effects.
Fitting is easy, and can be made with the car on its wheels, or jacked up and supported under the cross-member. Several large spacing washers are supplied with the kit, and it is simply a matter of selecting those which locate the strut as high as possible without touching the dished sides of the bush housings or the exhaust pipe. All that is then required is to secure it with the large sleeve nuts which are supplied.
On the road I found an appreciable reduction in understeer, providing sharper steering response and making the car more 'chuckable,' with a definite feeling of increased solidarity. These improvements are of course a sign that both bracing plates were now sharing the load, so that the rear wheels were staying more in line with the car, and are no longer fighting the actions of the front wheels.
As one would expect, the rear wheels are still susceptible to 'pattering' when under power while cornering on the rougher road surfaces, such as on the exit from a roundabout, but the gains are large, and without any problems. The ground clearance is of course reduced by some 20 mm, but with standard springs this is not a problem, even when fully laden for a camping trip.
To sum up, the Butt Brace is very effective, at £168 it represents excellent value for money, and does not introduce any problems of its own. If fitted by itself it makes definite improvements, but of course its limiting factor is that the longitudinal location of the cross-member studs is still dependent on the bracing plates. As part of a system to reinforce the rear suspension mountings, however, it can do more.
Body Brace:
While the Butt Strut makes a definite improvement, longitudinal location of the rear cross-member studs remains dependant upon the small bracing plates, even though they are now sharing the lateral load. The Body Brace consists of two strips of steel angle, with shaped plates welded to their ends which bolt between pre-drilled holes in the Butt Strut and the bolts securing the rear end of the 'X' brace below the engine.
The Butt Strut – and therefore the rear suspension studs – are now effectively part of a bottom to the 'box,' bracing the studs against longitudinal movement, and restoring the rear suspension geometry to its designed range.
Fitting is easy, but does require the car to be jacked up on at least one side at a time. If the Butt Strut has been fitted correctly it will not have to be disturbed to align the Body Brace with the floor of the car – mine fitted to it perfectly. I had to slightly file the bolt holes at the front to suit the angle of the 'X' brace bolts, after which it fitted as if BMW had made it.
The rear ends of the Body Brace runners attach to pre-drilled holes in the Butt Strut
Although when on the road the Body Brace makes itself felt in terms of reduced understeer and improved steering response, its largest benefit is the reduction of rear wheel 'patter' during tight turns under power on rough roads, making the Z3 feel as if its suspension is almost modern. The usual Z3 habit of wearing the inner edges of the rear tyres has been eliminated, the tyres now wearing evenly across the entire tread area, a sign that they are now following the direction of travel, instead of deciding their own path. This will obviously increase the useful life of the tyres by a substantial amount.
The only problem brought by the Body Brace is that of reduced ground clearance, in terms of its 30 mm thickness, including that of the Butt Strut. I have had no problems at the rear, where I use standard springs, but with 30 mm lower Eibach front springs short duration 'safety' humps of the plastic type favoured by UK supermarkets etc. need to be approached with caution. In such conditions, however, the Body Brace provides excellent protection to the car's underside, and particularly the vulnerable fuel pipes.
Fully braced – the Butt Strut runners connect the Butt Strut to the 'X' brace below the engine.
While some owners swear that their Body Brace has stiffened the entire car, and made the doors close with precision etc, I would say that its real benefits are in the area of handling, making the car feel more agile yet also solid, while giving a feeling of greater refinement. At £197 it represents good value, and I would be loathe to lose it.

Phonics are essential when it comes to the proces of learning to read. That's why most (online) reading games use phonics to enhance this proces. But what are phonics? Phonics are sounds that are nessecary to understand letters and words. They are often used as part of teaching methods. In these teaching methods children (people) learn to read by correlating sounds with letters or groups in an alphabetic writing system. For kids this is fun and playful way to learn to read.
Why phonics for kids are so important?
The National Reading Panel determined that systematic phonics instructions leads to significant positive benefits for students in
kindergarten through sixth grade and for children with difficulty learning to read. Kindergartners who receive systematic beginning phonics instruction read better and spell better than other children, and first graders are better able to decode and spell words.
The students also show significant improvement in their ability to understand what they read. Similarly, phonics instruction helps older children spell and decode text better, although their understanding does not necessarily improve.

"Compact pen, the supplied ink part can be replaced easily when it dries out, one issue is the the pocket clip is way too stiff and it's very difficult to use it because clipping it to anything is very challenging !? I haven't tried bending it a bit because I carry the pen in a belt pouch and I don't need to clip it to a pocket. It's easy to pull out the pen tip and reverse it back to the striking point. I haven't tested the glass breaker but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. The pen does feel substantial and robust." - Jean (4/5)

If you're eager to keep up with the Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in an official capacity (as opposed to trade reports), an official Twitter page has launched for the upcoming film, and today it revealed the movie's logo.
Unsurprisingly, the logo doesn't contain anything we don't already know about the story, which is next to nothing. All we know is that it takes place 70 years before the events of Harry Potter and follows Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) "the wizarding world's preeminent magizoologist, who stops in New York following his travels to find and document magical creatures." The only other noteworthy thing about this logo is that it says "From J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World" rather than name-drop Harry Potter, which is fine. Rowling and Harry Potter are synonymous, but it does help delineate that this new movie is not connected to Harry's story in any significant way.
Check out the full Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them logo below. The film opens November 18, 2016, and also stars Katherine Waterston as Tina, Alison Sudol (Dig) as Tina's sister Queenie, Dan Fogler (Fanboys) as Jacob, a muggle, Ezra Miller (Trainwreck) as Credence, Jenn Murray (Brooklyn) as Chastity, Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty, Samantha Morton as Mary Lou, and Colin Farrell as Graves. David Yates (Harry Potter Films 5 – 7) will direct a script from Rowling.

Today's wrap and technical outlook for indices, commodities and currencies
Asia Pacific indices
Australia 200 bounced up off of 4,890. A positive RSI divergence combined with a hammer candle suggests that selling pressure may be close to exhaustion for now. Initial resistance on a bounce appears near 5,000. Further support on a failure near 4,850.
Japan 225 remains in a downtrend with RSI indicating momentum continues to turn increasingly negative. Could have a bounce today after yesterday's selloff but gains could be limited to 14,000 resistance. Downside support near 13,500 then 13,115 a 38% retracement.
HongKong 43 remains under distribution, currently testing 22,500 as new resistance following a breakdown with next support near 22,275 then 22,000. RSI under 50 suggests downward momentum building.
India50 continues to hang around 6,100 with next resistance near 6,250 and next support near 5,950.
Singapore 30 is breaking down today. It has taken out uptrend support while RSI has dropped under 50 both bearish signs. Next potential support appears near 3,300 then 3,230.
US Indices
US30 is steady near the middle of a 15,130-15,530 trading channel. Falling RSI suggests upward momentum slowing.
SPX500 is sitting near 1,650 as it continues to drift lower within a 1,635 to 1,685 trading channel.
UK and European indices
UK 100 continues to retreat with the broken 6,660 support level emerging as new resistance with next potential support on trend near 6,540.
Germany30 is holding 8,290 Fibonacci support for now but a falling RSI and descending triangle suggest distribution increasing. Next support on a breakdown near 8,125, a 38% retracement of the previous uptrend.
France 40 is sitting near 4,000, having completed a double top near 4,040 but stubbornly refusing to break down. Next support near 3,900 then 3,800 should the selloff deepen.
Italy 40 keeps getting kicked around in the 16,960 to 17,650 zone currently trading in the upper half but drifting lower with initial support near 17,150.
Spain 35 continues to drift downward within a 8,250 to 8,700 trading channel.
Gold is breaking out over $1,400 today while RSI suggests upward momentum accelerating. A move through $1,410 would confirm the start of an upswing with next resistance near $1,420, $1,445, $1,460 and $1,485 on trend.
Silver is picking up with RSI suggesting upward momentum building. It needs to clear and stay above $23.00 to confirm the start of a new upswing with next resistance near $23.40 then $24.80.
Copper continues to hang around $3.30, trading in a $3.25 to $3.35 range with sideways momentum confirmed by flat RSI.
US crude has bounced back from an early selloff toward $93.50 but the RSI breakdown through 50 confirms momentum has turned negative, opening the potential for a retest of the $89.00 to $90.00 support zone with resistance falling toward $94.00.
UK crude has bounced up from $101.20 toward $102.25 but it needs to clear $103.25 in order to call off its current downswing.
Gasoline broke $2.80 and trend support yesterday which may become resistance with next support near $2.70. Next upside resistance near $2.83 then $2.89.
Natural Gas is breaking down today following the storage report, taking out $4.00 which may become resistance with next downside support near $3.85 the $3.65.
NZDUSD is testing $0.8000 and appears to be completing a double bottom. RSI suggests its due for a trading bounce but upside appears limited with risk of another RBNZ intervention. Resistance near $0.8160 with next support near $0.7900 then $0.7840.
AUDUSD appears to be bottoming for now, rebounding strongly out of a bear trip reversal. RSI has broken out over 30 from oversold territory, a bullish technical signal. Next resistance appears near $0.9720 then $0.9840 with support near $0.9590.
USDJPY continues to form a descending triangle above 100.60 and appears poised for a retest of its key 100.00 level. RSI trend break suggests momentum turning in JPYs favour. Next support on a breakdown appears near 97.00.
AUDJPY is consolidating in the 97.00 to 99.00 area but falling RSI suggests that appears to be a pause in a broader downtrend with next support closer to 95.00.
EURJPY continues to form a bearish descending triangle above 130.00 with next support on a breakdown near 127.00.
USDSGD has reversed course and started falling after failing to clear $1.2700 resistance. Initial support tests appear near $1.2530 then $1.2440.

Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet vs Samsung Galaxy Note PRO 12.2: first look
Sony has unveiled the Xperia Z2 Tablet at MWC 2014, and if there was ever a device deserving the title 'Air' we would give this out to Sony. The Xperia Z2 Tablet is the lightest and thinnest 10-inch tablet ever made (it's actually 8% lighter and 15% thinner than the iPad Air), but we could not help but wonder how it will compare against a newly emerging category of 12.2" tablets.
Measuring a razor thin 0.25" (6.4mm), the Xperia Z2 Tablet is the lightest of all 10" tablets, weighing less than a pound (426g) for the Wi-Fi model. In stark contrast, the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 that we compare it against is actually 42% heavier than that. The difference is crucial - you can easily hold the Z2 Tablet with just one hand for longer periods of time, while the Note Pro 12.2's weight just forces you to hold it with two hands or rest it against some surface.
Sony's tablet features the well-known OmniBalance design language with sharp corners, monotone colors and signature accents like the circular power key, all combining to creating a well-crafted slate. The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is very different in style and feel. It looks like a stretched out Note 3 with that familiar faux-leather back and the S Pen tucked in on its side. Which style is better? We prefer the cleaner, modern looking one on Sony's tablet, but - quite frankly - it's a matter of personal preference.
Sony is using a new LED display technology for the 10-inch 1920 x 1200-pixel IPS display on the Xperia Z2 Tablet. The technology is called Live Color LED, and it uses red and green phosphor lights with blue LEDs, while specially made color filters are on top of that. The end result is a display that should produce more evenly distributed light and just have a better image quality. Sony also includes its "X-Reality for Mobile" engine that analyzes the image output in real time for artifacts, colors, sharpness and contrast, and makes sure the digital noise is boiled down to a minimum.
The Note Pro 12.2 comes with a much larger, 12.2-inch display that makes it look as large as some ultrabooks and not all that portable. With a larger screen, though, you can get more things done easier, plus it's a higher-res panel - one featuring a 2560 x 1600 pixels of resolution. In reality, though, the larger size compensates for the difference in resolution and the two look almost equally sharp. Actually, the fact that the Note Pro 12.2 uses a Pentile RGBW matrix makes it look pixelated when displaying areas of just one color, while you don't have that issue on the Z2 tablet.
One hugely important feature of Sony's Xperia Z2 Tablet is the IP58 certification, so you can take it with you to watch movies in the bathtub, and just not worry if you splash it with water.
Both tablets run the latest Android 4.4 KitKat, but they also feature different custom skins. Sony has its much lighter layer on top of Android, changing little in the traditional icon-based interface of Android, while Samsung has cooked up a brand new user interface that uses large-sized tiles and is a nearly complete overhaul of the stock Android looks.
Samsung offers the more feature-packed skin with neat features that make a lot of sense for tablets and its split-screen multitasking mode is the best example. However, it's also true that many of the features in Samsung's skin look a bit gimmicky, and TouchWiz is generally the much heavier interface. All in all, Sony has simplicity and speed on its side, but it lacks the advanced multitasking features.
A neat addition to the software package for the Xperia Z2 Tablet is the bundle of six free blockbuster movies from Sony Pictures and a month of Music Unlimited trial that come a bonus.
Processor and memory
Being a newer device, Sony's Z2 Tablet runs on the newest 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801, which is a slight improvement over the Snapgragon 800 in the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. The difference is indeed small, and you probably won't notice it much in regular apps and just navigating around menus. One area where the extra performance power will come in handy, though, is gaming where we expect the Z2 Tablet to be a bit faster than the Samsung one.
The Xperia Z2 Tablet also comes with 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory, expandable via a microSD slot. The Note Pro 12.2 features the same amount of RAM, but it has double the internal storage that is also expandable via microSD cards.
The 8MP Exmor R camera sensor on the back of the tablet sports an LED flash, and all the bells and whistles you'd expect from Sony's camera app, like automatic Scene Recognition mode, or an HDR photo regime. Samsung's tablet also features an 8-megapixel main camera, and both are capable of recording video at 1080p. The two tablets also come with 2-megapixel front-facing cameras for video conferencing.
One neat feature of the Xperia Z2 is the surround sound setup called S-Force with speakers on the sides. The tablet is equipped with four of them in total, ensuring true surround experience. Naturally, the placement of the speakers is such that you won't block them with your hands while holding the tablet.
Sony Xperia Z2 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3: first look
The Xperia Z2 Tablet will be arriving some time in March, and there will be a choice of two colors - black and white housing, while the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is already up for sale. With all this revolutionary thinness and lightness, though, we tend to think the Xperia Z2 Tablet is the more lucrative option of these two. What do you think, has Sony done it again with the Z2 Tablet?

Unity Place lives up to its name as it marks LGBTQ Pride Month
Unity Place of Monmouth has always held inclusiveness as a defining principle – its very name says as much. Unity's central tenet of being welcoming to all applies to the clients it treats for mental health or substance use and to the staff who provide that care. With this in mind, Unity is celebrating June as LGBTQ Pride Month.
LGBTQ clients have in many cases experienced severe stigma. While society has made strides in this area, there remains no shortage of bias and misunderstanding towards this population This becomes a crucial issue in their treatment. Because of stigma, LGBT people may hesitate to come out, denying their true selves and planting the seeds of an internal struggle that may last for years, even decades.
Unity staff are planning numerous events and activities that are rainbow-themed, honoring the design of the Pride Flag. Groups will center on the rainbow flag and the message it conveys. The rainbow design of the flag is the creation of artist Gilbert Baker. Baker was urged by Harvey Milk, one of the country's first opening gay elected officials, to create a symbol of pride for the gay community, according to an article on the topic by Nora Gonzalez.
The various colors of the flag reflect both the diversity and the unity of the LGBTQ community. Unity is waving this symbolic flag throughout June. Therapy groups will explore LGBTQ issues and diversity in general. Unity Place honors the essence of Pride Month.

#TravelIndiaDiaries : The beautiful and magnificent Khajuraho
By Aakriti
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page" - Saint Augustine
Hello everyone,
Thanks for appreciating my Hampi Travelogue.
Since it was a 19-day tour, I will present to you some more amazing places I visited, my experiences and some clicks J
Although we visited several places across Central and Southern India, being a student of art and art history, there were a few places which really inspired and mesmerized me. So, as a part of my #TravelIndiaDiaries, here's the piece on
|Indian Travel Blog / India Travel Files : The Kandariya Mahadev Temple in Khajuraho
This was one place I got to see one of the best carving skills of super talented architects and craftmen of Ancient India. The Khajuraho Group of Monuments is a group of Hindu and Jain temples in Madhya Pradesh, India. About 175 kilometres southeast of Jhansi which is in Uttar Pradesh, they are one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India. The temples are famous for their Nagara-style architectural symbolism and their erotic sculptures. You can read more about them on the official site of the Archeological Survey of India here
|Indian Travel Blog / India Travel Files : The sculptures outside Jagdambi Temple in Khajuraho
Incidentally, Khajuraho monuments are quite famous, or rather even infamous, for their erotic sculptures. What most people wonder is why its theme is based upon erotic images and kamasutra details. But it surely tells us about the social thoughts of that era, when such things may not have been a taboo. It's for a reason, and it is said to be meant to attract the public so that they visit and eventually worship the main deity inside the temple.
|Indian Travel Blog / India Travel Files : The monolithic sculpture of Varaha, one of the reincarnations of Lord Vishnu, holding Bhudevi or Goddess Earth
Khajuraho was built during the rule of Rajput Chandela dynasty. The building activity started almost immediately after the rise of their power. Most temples were built during the reigns of the Hindu kings Yashovarman and Dhanga. Yashovarman's legacy is best exhibited by Lakshmana temple. Vishwanatha temple best highlights King Dhanga's reign. The largest and currently most famous surviving temple is Kandariya Mahadeva built in the reign of King Ganda from 1017-1029 CE. The temple inscriptions suggest many of the currently surviving temples were complete between 970 to 1030 CE, with few more temples completed in decades thereafter.
|Indian Travel Blog / India Travel Files : Friends and me outside the Kandariya Mahadev Temple in Khajuraho
What was fascinating was the fact that here, in this place, there are just about 15000 people residing, almost isolated I would call it. However, since it has become a famous tourist site, as one enters the city one would see a row of hotels. I was staying with a group of 43 people at Hotel Payal, a Madhya Pardesh Tourism Corporation hotel. It was a very neat and well kept hotel. The best part was that it was at a distance of 5 minutes bus drive to the main sights and temples. You can get more details here
|Indian Travel Blog / India Travel Files : One of the statues in Khajuraho
I completely enjoyed sight seeing at these sights. The groups of temples has another major attraction in the evening. It's the wonderful Sound and Light show where you can hear the voice of Bollywood legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. The whole place just lights up to stories and tales of valour, love and royalty in the evening. For anyone living in India, I suggest visit this place atleast once and be in awe of the amazing Indian architecture.
Till next,
Enjoy this….

The music in a video game is so important. Perhaps one of the most important elements in the game. The music is supposed to make you feel something. Whether it makes you feel pumped up for battle, excited because you just won a battle, the warmth of a mushy love scene, or sad when a beloved character dies, the music is key. There have been numerous games throughout my history of gaming and some of the songs in them stick out more than others. I have compiled 20 of my favorite songs from video games!
The Sims: Buy Mode 1
I used to spend HOURS building my Sims homes (anyone who didn't use Rosebud to get extra Sim cash to build a sweet Sim mansion with the works led a very sad Sim existence) and this catchy little earworm used to get stuck in my head constantly.
The Legend of Zelda – Skyward Sword: Zelda's Lullaby
I love the music from all of The Legend of Zelda games so it's hard to narrow it down to just one or two choices, but this song is definitively, hands-down, without a doubt my favorite Zelda song. I loved the version from Ocarina of Time, but then I heard this arrangement and…I swear someone left a bag of onions around here somewhere!
Final Fantasy VII: Aerith's Theme
It really was a toss-up between this and requiem, but in the end this lovely song won. It's so peaceful and sweet, just like Aerith.
Super Mario Bros: Ground Theme
Mario is another franchise with great, catchy tunes. Of all the catchy tunes, this one is probably the catchiest. I'm bobbing my head right now listening to this.
Parasite Eve: Theme of Aya
This game had a lot of great piano pieces, and there was the beautiful opera song that Eve sang, but I really love Aya's theme. You can just picture her on a mission, handgun drawn, searching for answers.
Final Fantasy VI: Opera Scene (SNES Version)
Oh the feels…..Even with the low quality graphics and MIDI music from back in the day, this scene still stands out as one of my favorite music pieces in video game history. Terra was also one of the most memorable old-school female characters that I can remember.
Mortal Kombat: Character Select Theme
The music that is playing while you're trying to select your fighter is extremely important…and don't you forget it!
Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Super Sonic Theme
I loved when that little blue dude went into Super Sonic mode and this music kicked in.
Sword Art Online – Lost Song: Cynthia no Hikari by Eir Aoi
(The video itself is a mashup of clips from the anime, not from this game. It was impossible for me to find a version of this song that was not a Nightcore version) I really love anime theme songs so including a song by an artist who has performed two opening theme songs for the anime in the opening of the game was pure genius.
Kingdom Hearts: Simple and Clean
I actually much prefer the original version of this song to the dance remix that is in the game but seeing the intro paired with the music is simply irresistible.
Final Fantasy XIII: My Hands by Leona Lewis
This song was initially used for the promotional trailer for the game. The Japanese version has a completely different song for its ending but the American version includes this song instead. It's such a powerful song paired with the beautiful style of this game (TBH I didn't like this game, but boy was it purty!).
Assassin's Creed III: Theme Song
I haven't ever played an AC game in my life but I have seen them all played by my nerdy hubby. Connor was one of my favorite AC main characters and this is my favorite AC theme song. There is also a great version by Lindsey Sterling you should check out here.
Elder Scrolls V – Skyrim: Dragonborn
Another medieval style earworm from a game that left many spouses feeling single as their companion spent days hours playing this game. Another shameless plug for Lindsey Sterling, check out her version with Peter Hollens here.
Assassin's Creed IV- Black Flag: Sea Shanties
The sea shanties were the best part of this game and it was hard to pick a favorite. Instead I found this compilation YouTuber Hofik9 made of some of the best shanties in the game. Enjoy!
Mega Man 2: Dr Wily Stage 1
There was a lot of catchy music in this 8-bit wonder but this song just gets you pumped up for battle with Dr. Wily!
Silent Hill 2: Opening Theme
For a game that is so creepy, the opening theme is dramatic yet upbeat. I find that it made me want to sit there and watch the whole intro as opposed to the opening music from the first game that reminded me of nails on a chalkboard.
Tales of Zesteria: English Opening
This music, though slightly repetitive, flows nicely with the anime sequences that introduce the game.
Toejam & Earl – Panic on Funkotron: Theme Music
I…loved this game! It was so funky! The music just made me bob my head and dance around while I was playing. As fun as this game was to play on its own, the music really made it.
Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time: Lon Lon Ranch
Okay, so this was auto tune before auto tune was popular….synthesizer voice to the max…but dang this was still so pretty. I loved Malon, the little red haired girl that sang this tune. Now I really wanna try some Lon Lon milk….
Skullmonkeys : Beep Bop Bo
This game was so fricking weird….but I loved it. It was so unique because of how weird and fun it was. The characters were weird, the levels were weird, the cut scenes were super weird, the "Little Bonus Room" was also weird. The music in this game is no exception.
There are so many other great games and so much great video game music out there but this was just a selection of some of my favorites. If there are any I missed that are your favorite, please let me know in the comments!
Stay Nerdy, my friends!

"… I knew I loved you before I met you // I think I dreamed you into life // I knew I loved you before I met you // I have been waiting all my life … "
This song has painted the feelings of many mothers-to-be so accurately. Since the moment the stick turned blue, many mothers-to-be fall head over heels in love with the little person they're growing inside their bodies. Many… but not all.
Some women experience the wonders of the pregnancy journey and yet are guilt-ridden because they haven't really fallen in love with their baby. It's as if it's an unspoken rule for mothers-to-be fall instantly in love with their unborn child. Well, we're here to tell you that there's no such rule. Love comes to everyone naturally, and at its own pace. Reality hits and love bites at different phases of the pregnancy journey; it's different for every mothers-to-be. Some experience love early on, instantly upon knowing that they're with a child; others when they hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time, others when they discover the sex of the baby; others experience it much, much later, like when they hold the baby in their arms for the very first time; and some women experience it three to six months postpartum.
There's no telling when the love bug will bite you, but we've never met a mother who didn't fall helplessly in love with the baby she grew inside her body. Wash away that guilt, Mama. Just because you aren't feeling the joyful pangs of pregnancy at this very moment, it doesn't make you any less of a mother – no matter what society (or even that negative part of your brain) says.
We believe that love grows with familiarity. As your body undergoes rapid changes and as you experience some unpleasant, albeit still wonderful, transitions on your pregnancy journey, take this time to familiarize yourself with the bump and try to forge a connection with the one living inside. Here are a few tips you can try to bond with your bump:
Baby Bonding Tip #1: Use Your Voice
Spend some time each day talking to your baby, telling her about the things you will do together, and how you are feeling that day. You may find that your baby responds to the sound of your voice, and begins kicking and nudging you as you talk.
Baby Bonding Tip #2: Go To Yoga
Prenatal yoga classes give you a chance to escape the humdrum of daily life, and focus on your pregnancy for a while.
Baby Bonding Tip #3: Get Dad Involved
It's not just you who wants to develop a lasting bond with your baby – dad-to-be will want a slice of the action too! Let him respond by rubbing your bump in the same spot.
Baby Bonding Tip #4: Take Bump Photos
As you compare the bump photos from each week, you will be able to see how much your baby is changing and growing during the pregnancy. This visual reminder may help to make the pregnancy seem more real, and will give you time to reflect upon the changes occurring. Do a pregnancy photo shoot towards the end of your pregnancy can make you feel special too, where yourself and your partner (or yourself alone) can have some gorgeous moments captured by a professional, that you will no doubt treasure forever.
Baby Bonding Tip #5: Slow Down
Yes, there is a lot to do before the baby arrives, but you don't need to do it all today. Delegate where you can, and don't feel bad getting help around the home, it's very common these days! Accepting offers of help can really take a load off, and remember, people wouldn't offer if they didn't want to help.
Bonding is a complex, personal experience that takes time. There's no magic formula and it can't be forced. As you become more comfortable with your baby bump and your new routine becomes more predictable, you and your partner will feel more confident about all of the amazing aspects of raising your little one.Focus on your good points and if you don't feel like you're bonding with your unborn baby yet, don't beat yourself up.

A lot of thought is often put into external communications, such as marketing materials and member engagement.
But the conversations happening internally deserve some consideration as well. And while the two communication types aren't the same, they do have some commonalities.
When it comes to internal comms, strategies, of course, vary greatly. The employee newsletter of yore may be a fully digital product rather than one that's printed out and left on desks. It's easier than ever to contact an employee—or a group of them—at a moment's notice. And there are always new tools, including technical ones, that can make the ground under your employee communication strategy feel a little shaky or over the top.

Yes, Leo went to the bakery in his pajamas. Seems like we (Leo & six other kids his age) aren't the typical clientèle of Hilton Garden Inns, but they treated us well just the same.
Leo and I drove up to Portland, Maine on Wednesday. I left the camera battery at home, so here is a "found photo" trip diary.
We started at Fort Williams Park, just south of Portland. There were old buildings to climb and kites to fly.
Then we went to Portland proper and enjoyed the waterfront area. Highlights were the Standard Baking Company, Flatbreads, and the Narrow Gauge Train.
