I thought I should try and clarify what is happening in Sprotbrough Plantation. This part of the wood is not considered a SSSI and is managed by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust on a long lease. No work had been done in the woodland for many years and, therefore, many trees had grown too close together, thus restricting the growth of them all. Since they took over the lease, the Don Gorge Conservation Volunteers have helped YWT with thinning over the past two or three years near the top on the right-hand side of the right-hand fork. Apparently, YWT considered it also needed doing on the left-hand side as well and a contractor has been hired to do this. I agree a lot has been taken out, so this is not really thinning and it does look awful at the moment. I can, however, agree with Dave Glover's comment that this will let in lots of light and should promote growth of plants and flowers which has been restricted for a long time now.
Having had a conversation with one of the contractors, I am told some re-planting will take place, though I haven't had this confirmed by YWT. The wood taken out, which has been many lorry loads, will be used for firewood as apparently it was not good enough or big enough to plank.
At present, I haven't been able to locate who is responsible for the felling near the bridge on Nursery Lane. I will write again when I hear back from those I have contacted.
In the meantime, a SOLD sign has appeared on the woodland on the right-hand side corner of Nursery Lane and Cadeby Lane. The purchaser is not yet known, but there are some Tree Preservation Orders on this land and the biodiversity officer at DMBC informs me that they would not agree to felling taking place here.
I hope this clarifies the situation to some degree. I was shocked when I saw all the timber coming down the lane past my home and went to see the large area of land cleared, but we can only hope it is worth it in the end. No doubt the next thing will be the electricity board contractor clearing trees under the power line which goes up the wood. Last time they didn't just take a swathe under the lines as normal, but cleared the land right to the footpath edge!

Most, like their male counterparts, inherited their wealth. They have all managed to continue, preserve and build their financial dynasties in a constantly changing world.
In some cases the women have taken active roles in the corporations that provided the basis of their wealth. Many of the women have professional backgrounds as equity analysts; in corporate finances and hold MBA degrees.
One common thread is that all the women are philanthropists of mega proportions, donating millions to various charities.

This week, we spoke with Tammy Katz, CEO of Katz Marketing Solutions and Adjunct Professor of Brand Management at The Ohio State University about retail strategies for small business. Here are three pieces of advice for small businesses aiming to build engaging and profitable relationships with retailers.
1. Perform Market Tests
Katz said any brand in conversation with retailers needs to "help them think through why they want this product." To make a more compelling argument, Katz said it is imperative that even small business leaders perform market tests of their product. Market tests have other benefits as well, such as creating buzz about your product and receiving helpful feedback from your first consumers. The scope of the research does not necessarily have to be large, as long as the findings presented directly correlate with the needs of the retailer in the category in which your product will be sold. Some managers seeking affordable tools to perform market tests have used retail software for small business that provide a platform for reps to gather insightful consumer data.
2. Know Your Ideal Retailer
Katz also warned small businesses in the process of retail expansion against signing on with every retailer interested in their product. There are a few key reasons small businesses should turn down some retail options. For example, a retailer may simply be too large for the production your organization can meet. "Not being able to fulfill orders is a disaster," said Katz. Along that same logic Katz said "as seductive as one huge account can be, it's good to have distribution in more than one place." By spreading into many different locations, a small business can avoid the risk of a major fallout. Businesses should also avoid retailers if the location degrades the image of your brand or it is a location your target consumer does not usually spend time.
3. Share Your Story
Small businesses in retail are in a position to attract attention to their brands like never before. Not only do the power of social media enable businesses with less capital than their big business counterparts to spread brand awareness, an increasing amount of consumers are "shopping small" and opting out of large corporate stores. Katz said strategic leaders in the smaller arenas should take advantage of small business media organizations. "These people are looking for stories, and if yours is compelling enough, it can really get attention." In doing so, leaders should ensure that they have a story with a personal angle to create connections with consumers.
Building brand recognition and developing retail strategies in small business can be a challenge, but with the tools at leaders' disposal today it can be achieved. Keep in mind these three points of advice from Katz: perform consumer research, choose partners wisely, and have a meaningful story to tell.

Cornwall Museums celebrate 15m investment
Penlee House Gallery and Museum
By: Cornwall Museums Partnership
Added: 11 July 2014
Schools, young people, students, families with children and volunteers across Cornwall will benefit from brand new investment in museums across Cornwall, which has been secured by the Cornwall Museums Partnership.
The £1.5m funding, awarded by Arts Council England, is part of an overall project of £5m which will be invested in exhibitions and activities to help more people enjoy and explore Cornwall's internationally important heritage. This major investment, which ultimately means improved facilities for all visitors to museums, will have a positive impact on the economy with increased visitor numbers adding to increased secondary spend and greater job opportunities locally.
The 3 year programme of events and exhibitions, led by the Cornwall Museums Partnership, will include work with schools to explore the impact of Cornish culture around the world and a major exhibition showcasing the best of Cornwall's unique artistic and industrial heritage in London in 2018.
Twenty of Cornwall's volunteer led museums will benefit from investment in improved exhibition infrastructure, allowing them to change displays more often and display more objects from their stores giving people across Cornwall greater access to their heritage.
Amongst other benefits the project will deliver in Cornwall are an investment in a range of apprenticeships in museums, a volunteering programme for young people aged 14 to 19 and investment in the museums' provision to support Arts Award Gold scheme across Cornwall.
Louise Connell, Director of Penlee House Gallery and Museum said 'Partnership has been central to the work of museums in Cornwall over the last year. With the help of Cornwall Council, we have developed a shared vision of the future in our Museums' Strategy. Our partnership initiative has helped to access funds which would not have been available had we worked on our own. By joining forces we have managed to secure major investment for Cornwall, against huge competition from major metropolitan museums across England. This funding will help us to ensure that many more people can enjoy and get involved in Cornwall's unique and important heritage.'
Julian German, Cabinet Member for Economy and Culture at Cornwall Council, said 'It is really good to see the museums in Cornwall working together so effectively. As a rural area, we are privileged to have such a diverse range of small and medium sized museums with a shared vision, collecting and promoting Cornwall's unique heritage. This fantastic investment is another example of the success of Cornwall's museums being recognised outside the Duchy
Arts Council England's investment is a recognition of the excellent and innovative work our museums have been doing and will help to ensure that they can realise their ambitious and exciting plans for the future. The result will be a more sustainable and successful museum community and that benefits us all.'

GAA: Leinster Sides Llikely To Progress In Qualifiers
All-Ireland Football Qualifiers
Limerick v Antrim
The Saffrons visit the Gaelic Grounds this weekend as they seek to progress into the next phase of the All-Ireland Qualifiers. Limerick will be disappointed at going down at the hands of Tipperary while Antrim made some good progress in Ulster until they were blown away by Donegal. Antrim need to be far more consistent than they have been, coupled with a poor league performance this year and only a few glimpses of excellent play, the shannonsiders will certainly be the favourites to progress on home soil.
Verdict: Limerick
Tipperary v Longford
Longford head south to the home of the division 4 champions this weekend and will certainly fancy their chances against them. Tipperary have been impressive so far in the Championship, overcoming Limerick and running Cork close. Longford have been more of a championship side in recent times and it will be their defence that needs to remain fixed at the task at hand. Tipperary will certainly fancy their chances with some good players coming through for them from under age football. Longford will have more firepower than Tipperary up front but can't afford to let this game turn in to a point for point situation towards the finish.
Verdict: Longford
Wicklow v Sligo
Sligo have been a potential banana skin for most sides in the championship as they were Connacht champions a few seasons ago. Wicklow have been a consistent team but have failed to pushed themselves and excel to another level. Sligo will need significant improvements in field if they are to overcome Wicklow. The Leinster side have plenty of potential up front and need to get possession in to their forward line more quickly. Sligo need to improve but I don't think they have the all round display or players to beat the big sides in championship at the moment.
Verdict: Wicklow
Wexford v Laois
Wexford have been a relatively strong side in Leinster in recent years and have contested some Leinster finals. Laois on the other hand have been progressing quite nicely in the last few years but have failed to capitalise fully on beating sides. Wexford have a very strong forward line which includes the likes of Ben Brosnan and Ciaran Lyng. Wexford need to improve their ability to free up space for their forwards otherwise they could be in trouble. Watching both these sides play against the Dubs earlier in the championship it would be hard not to see Laois progressing but Wexford still retain some hope.
Verdict: Laois

Cross-platform mobile development with Visual Studio 2015
As we are all receiving more and more requests to build mobile applications we need to gear up and embrace modern way of doing cross-platform mobile development. We cannot anymore get dedicated teams on all different platforms (Android, iOS, Windows) and create as many projects as we have form factors (phones with different screen sizes and hardware capabilities, tablets with different sizes ....).
Visual Studio 2015 (just released in July) may be the answer with a dual approach.
Approach 1 : use standards (HTML or C++)
If you're a web developer, and you're familiar with HTML and JavaScript, you can target Windows, Android, and iOS devices by using Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova. These apps can target all three platforms and you can build them by using the skills and processes that you're most familiar with.
You can also build a native application for Android or Windows devices with C++ templates (iOS devices are not yet available).
Approach 2: select a modern cross-platform framework (Xamarin)
While selecting standards like HTML and C++ sounds appealing as they are, by nature, cross platform, you will face limitation in the user experience you can build and also the final performance of the application.
The solution is to use the Xamarin framework (extension of the .NET framework)
You can build native apps for Android and iOS by using C# and the Xamarin framework (Xamarin apps are built with standard, native user interface controls). Apps not only look the way the end user expects; they behave that way too. Xamarin apps leverage platform-specific hardware acceleration, and are compiled for native performance. This can't be achieved with solutions that interpret code at runtime.

He's been grilled, at length, by a determined lawyer and exposed as utterly clueless on the subject of conflict-of-interest. And Mayor Rob Ford is scheduled to be grilled again next week, this time in front of a judge. The problem? Ford spoke to, and voted on, a council motion that saved him from paying $3,150 from his own pocket for improperly-raised donations. There's a chance he may be driven from office.
Yet for all that Ford insists he has no regrets. "Absolutely not."
One can only hope that's just bluster. Surely, even Ford isn't so blind as to think he did the right thing. He got into hot water after Toronto integrity commission Janet Leiper concluded he had improperly used his status on city council to solicit donations to a football foundation. She repeatedly asked that he, personally, pay back the donors' money but Ford refused to do so. When the matter went to city council, Ford took part in the 22-12 vote that relieved him of any obligation to pay.
Had Ford simply declared a conflict, and taken no role, there would be no case. But according to Toronto resident Paul Magder and lawyer Clayton Ruby, his failure to do so broke conflict-of-interest law. So they hauled Ford into court. He now risks losing his job.
As this fiasco sorts itself out we can only hope that Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland brings more common sense to the file than the mayor has, when Ford testifies on Wednesday.
Overturning the result of a democratic election in a city the size of Toronto and turfing Ford from office seems overly harsh. But it needn't come to that. The judge may find that Ford broke the law inadvertently, or that the money involved was inconsequential.
The risk, of course, is that Ford and his backers would seize on such an outcome to claim he did nothing wrong. That could erode public faith in the conflict rules. Far better that Ford learn from this, recognize his mistake, express some regret, and mend his ways.

Milton Keynes Dons have signed Larnell Cole on loan from Fulham until the end of the season.
The versatile midfielder joined the Cottagers from Manchester United in the January transfer window and made his debut against his former club at Old Trafford, his only appearance so far.
Fulham have changed their management team since the 20-year-old penned a deal until the summer of 2017 and he has been given the opportunity to get regular football elsewhere, much to the delight of Dons boss Karl Robinson.
"I'm really excited by this signing. We've been watching him for a while and he is a high-potential player," Robinson told mkdons.com.
Cole could make his Dons bow when they take on Oldham at Boundary Park on Tuesday night.

At StatusCake we have always been keenly aware that we can't do everything; and we're not exactly fans of reinventing the wheel! That's why from day one we've always worked with selected 3rd party partners to give you more power, be it with mobile notifications using the power of Pushover or advanced alert routing with PagerDuty.
There has however been an issue with 3rd party setups, the system had various ways of inserting authentication splattered around the interface and there wasn't a clean and simple way of keeping those authentication up to date if they spanned several contacts groups… we'll admit it, it was a right royal mess and that's why we're so happy today to announce improvements to how you setup 3rd party applications
From now on to setup any 3rd party integrations we support today and into the future you will need to go to the 'Account' tab and from there click '3rd Party'. This button will take you to an overview page of your 3rd party setups (if you have any) and will also allow you to add new services. This offers plenty of benefits over the old system of setting up in contact groups
- You now can update a service
- Keep track of all your services
- Updates will reflect on all contact groups using that service
- You can name services (so no more having to remember which key is what)
- You can easily send tests at any time
The new setup also makes it a lot easier for us to develop additional 3rd party integrations so we will be keeping an eye out and listening to user feedback on what integrations they would like added to the system.
If you currently have any 3rd party set-up we've automatically moved you into the new system – you can go ahead and edit your current keys with a new alias.
In addition to these changes we've also added the popular Push notification app for Android, iOS and other platforms – Pushbullet. Pushbullet works in the similar vein to Pushover but is free. You can setup Pushbullet in the 3rd party intergrations!

Special education funding is a hodgepodge of federal, state and local policies and funding decisions that often leave children in need without adequate services, according to a new report from the National Education Policy Center.
"Today's challenges for special education funding are rooted in a complex regulatory and policy environment that reflects little forethought about who can and will pay special education costs," according to a summary of the research brief funded by the Great Lakes Center for Education Research and Practice. It continues:
"Despite the fact that states and school districts are legally required to ensure a free and appropriate public education to students with disabilities as a condition of accepting federal funding, the federal government does little to fund the special education that students with disabilities receive. This places the overwhelming burden on states and localities to implement and pay for special education programs.
"The result is a diffuse funding system in which almost all states fail to provide enough funding to cover the cost of special education in their local districts."
The brief by Tammy Kolbe of the University of Vermont examines the complex "and largely incoherent" policy framework that creates this precarious system for funding special education.
Funding Special Education: Charting a Path that Confronts Complexity and Crafts Coherence describes how increased federal funding should be packaged with a new framework for federal policy that would establish a fair and effective system for funding special education.
Kolbe provides specific and immediate steps for federal policymakers, with the goal of moving the country closer to a new, more coherent national policy framework grounded in thoughtful consideration of what special education should cost, who should pay the costs, and how best to align funding models with policy goals for identifying and providing appropriate educational opportunities for children with disabilities.

So we left the house in the wee hours of the morning (around 6 AM) and didn't arrive at our destination until 11 PM that night. Suffice to say, it was a very, VERY long day. But it was completely worth it. :D
We were fed very well by Lydi's wonderful mother Sandra (she made some amazing chicken soup)...I personally inhaled a bowl of soup and was up and taking pictures before anyone else was done.
I would also like to point out that the drive to their house was a rather interesting one...Isaac was leading the way and drove the wrong way at first, so we had to retrace our path and go the RIGHT way. When we finally got to the house we were practically giddy from lack of sleep and the fact that we were GOING TO MEET OUR NEW INLAWS EEE SQUEEE.
(As noted in the previous entry, we were more than a little excited about meeting them.)
When we got to the house the porch light started flashing frantically on and off, we flopped out of the rental cars and staggered towards the house, and I was instantly buried by the Stone girls (I stayed with the Stones earlier this year) and our new brothers.
Okay, they're technically brothers in law, but they call Will and me 'lil bro' and 'lil sis' (respectively), and we refer to them as 'brother(s) of mine', so they might as well be siblings. XD
So after our midnight supper, everyone (well, almost everyone) troops to the living room, picks up an instrument, and starts playing.
I should mention now that not only are our new in-laws highly musical, my family is also pretty musical in our own right (my parents used to have a band that they played in for a living). Bringing our two families together has resulted in an explosion of musical-ness that will probably not be surpassed in a loooong time.
Your hostess,

Loved Dan! I think he is the best speaker that I have heard from at the breakfast series. Engaging, relevant, powerful speaker.
One of the best motivational speakers we have had over the past 21 years.
Dan was excellent. He really took into account our briefing and developed a presentation that was spot on. Everyone enjoyed it. I have read his book now too, quite good.
WOW what a talk! I have been inundated with positive feedback from your keynote all weekend. You hit the nail on the head in terms of what's happening in our organization and your examples really resonated with our group. One of our Execs was really thankful for how you directly tackled the "elephants in our room". Our SVP couldn't stop praising you during the reception. Thank you!
Dan, thank you for sharing your wisdom with the professionals within the State of Tennessee – we are better leaders because we learned how to be Open To Think!

Sample Keynote Descriptions
Real Leadership: How a Genuine Leader Delivers Better Results
Real leadership—how leaders act as human beings in their daily and strategic work with employees, customers and stakeholders—is arguably missing in many of today's organizations. The reasons are all too familiar.
- Command and control leadership tendencies.
- Lack of collaboration amongst and between internal teams/departments.
- Hoarding of information, content and intellectual property.
- Power, as a sense of entitlement and the means of execution.
- Failure to empathize or to recognize the humanity of getting things done.
It has to stop. Author Dan Pontefract recommends several leadership strategies and techniques that are sure to get you thinking about your own leadership habits and track record. The Field Guide to Real Leadership tackles the many taboos of bad leadership, while outlining practical, meaningful ways in which to become a more humane and effective leader.
Purpose Fuels People: Why a Meaningful Role & Purpose-Driven Organization Matters
Leaders may not know it yet, but having a sense of purpose has become table stakes for many employees at work. Equally important, today's organizations are being pressured to begin exhibiting purpose in their operating practices. If there is a positive interconnection between the three distinct categories of purpose–personal, role and organization—the benefits will be felt by all stakeholders. Dan Pontefract refers to this balanced state of purpose as the 'sweet spot.' The alignment of purpose between self, role and organization is critically important for both employees and leaders.The more a leader can assist employees to understand this alignment of purpose, the quicker everyone will recognize how important the 'sweet spot' is to an engaging and fulfilling lifetime of work. The quicker an employee defines, develops and decides their purpose—alongside how bought in they are to the organization's purpose—the more engaged and innovative they will be in their role … and in their life in general.
Have You Checked for Frowns? The Critical Importance of Engaged Employees
Ever wonder why global levels of employee engagement in organizations continue to wane and remain so incredibly low? For leaders in any organization seeking to improve productivity and business results, they must first start with its own operating culture. To improve organizational culture is to build up and unleash behaviours that permit employees to connect and collaborate with one another effortlessly and full of goodwill. An employee only becomes engaged when the culture is open, transparent, communicative, collaborative and trustworthy.These are just some of the behaviours that must define how an organization operates. Author Dan Pontefract implores organizations to rethink its workplace culture by instituting systemic-wide behaviours that encourage one another to work together versus in silos or competitively.
Engagement of employees occurs as a result of how they feel about the organization's culture and its purpose. There is a way to fix it, and Dan has a way to help you out.
Dream, Decide, Do, Repeat: We are Losing the Ability to Think and What to Do About it.
Many of our current systems train us merely to function. We learn the routine. We master the process. The regiment starts at school, continues at university, and goes into overdrive when we begin to work. The problem? Ultimately we have lost the ability to think critically, to be creative, and to contemplate ideas of the unknown. Standards, procedures, technology, and incessant demand for short-term results over long-term planning are the big winners. In order to mitigate such calamities including the relentless pursuit of action and the pressure to "do more with less," individuals must return to a state of balance between the three components of productive thought: dreaming, deciding, and doing.In this talk, author Dan Pontefract introduces tangible, actionable strategies to improve the way we think as organizations and individuals through the cyclical process of Creative Thinking, Critical Thinking and Applied Thinking. To become an Open Thinker, one must understand the relationship between reflection and action, and how it can negatively or positively affect an outcome. Dream. Decide. Do, Repeat.

Recently, I have spent a considerable amount of time thinking about what makes a healthy church member? Over the past few years, books, articles, and journal entries abound on the subject. This is a terrific trend! If I were to boil a healthy church member (not literally) down to a couple of things, here is how I would describe one:
- Authentically Converted– you cannot have true membership apart from a truly regenerate person.
- Text-Driven Listener– they know how to distinguish a sermon geared around morality and topics verses a sermon that is geared around the style, substance, and structure of the text.
- Prayer Driven– the old cliché "little prayer, little power-much prayer, much power," still holds true. To get an accurate look at where a person is spiritually, all you have to observe is their prayer life.
- Committed Attendance– part of being in a faith community is consistency in the gatherings.
- Gospel Centered– everything the member does, is used to promote, proclaim, and live out the gospel.
- Maturing Disciple– this goes without saying, but when you are genuinely converted, you will progress in your sanctification and make other disciples.
- Humble Advocate– while this person has a deep robust understanding of the Scriptures, they walk in humility with their brethren and seek the welfare of the rest of the body.
This is certainly not an exhaustive list, but a beginning place nonetheless. Distinguishing health in a member verses holding up a check list of righteousness for them is a delicate act to balance. Some of these are non-negotiables, while others are things to strive for. The bottom line, membership matters and defining what makes a healthy member is foundational to a healthy church.

Trojans lose to Newark 44-76
The Trojans played a game against Newark Memorial on Dec. 5 at home. The game ended with Newark Memorial winning at the score of 44-76. The starters included junior Devin Green, sophomore Alex Ma, senior Joseph Elliot, and senior Jaden Evans. Trojans got the ball at tip off by Green. For the entirety of the game, Newark was in the lead but Evans scored the first basket for the Trojans. By the first quarter, Trojans were down 7-20.
"If we can cut down on our turnovers and keep playing together we can do good," said varsity basketball coach Chris Fortenberry.
The Trojans showed a lot of grit and perseverance throughout the game. Their energy was strong and they plays were fast and properly executed. During the first quarter, Robert Chang scored a three pointer that excited the crowd. The team struggled with getting rebounds and there were many turnovers.
"The game overall was played with a lot of energy and effort but when you have turnovers, you can't win most of those games," said Fortenberry.
"We lost to Newark on Wednesday but that was mainly because we are still learning how to play together. On Friday and Saturday, we played Mount Eden and we won both of those games. So we're moving in the right direction," said Fortenberry.
Although, the team lost this game, they are still getting stronger and working harder. The Trojans believe that they are on track to having a great season even though there was a few bumps in road.
"It helps when we win; you feel better about yourself. Hopefully we keep getting better," said Fortenberry.

Dr. Maynard Brusman
Consulting Psychologist and Executive Coach
Trusted Advisor to Senior Leadership Teams
Teamwork demands shared responsibility, but it also demands individual contributions. It fails if team members shelter behind the consensus.
~ Robert Heller, Founding Editor, Management Today
I recently spoke with the director of human resources at a San Francisco Bay Area company regarding providing executive coaching for the executive team. The director of human resources asked some very insightful questions to determine whether we were a good fit. She specifically wanted to know how I worked with different personality styles, and my methods for working with executive teams. She was very interested in my leadership development work with helping executive team deal with groupthink.
The director of human resources and I spoke about my approach to working with executive teams, and my belief that groupthink can sometimes diminish creativity and innovation. We also spoke of the need for her organization to work with a management consultant to help their company create a culture where creativity and innovation thrives.
The director of human resources is interested in partnering with me in helping their executive team work more collaboratively while maximizing each leader's individual creativity. We further discussed how other company executives could benefit by working with a seasoned executive coach.
Groupthink, originally researched by Yale University psychologist Irving Janis, is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within groups. It's a mode of thinking that occurs when a decision-making group's desire for harmony overrides its realistic appraisal of alternatives.
Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus, without critically evaluating additional ideas or viewpoints. Factors like group cohesiveness and situational context help determine whether groupthink will contaminate the decision-making process.
The negative cost of groupthink is loss of individual creativity, uniqueness and independent thinking. Organizationally, these consequences lead to costly errors in product launches, service policies and competitive strategies.
The New Groupthink
In "The Rise of the New Groupthink" (The New York Times, Jan.13, 2012), corporate attorney and author Susan Cain explains:
Solitude is out of fashion. Our companies, our schools and our culture are in thrall to an idea I call the New Groupthink, which holds that creativity and achievement come from an oddly gregarious place. Most of us now work in teams, in offices without walls, for managers who prize people skills above all. Lone geniuses are out. Collaboration is in.
There's a problem with the view that all work should be conducted by teams. Research strongly suggests that people are more creative when they enjoy privacy and freedom from interruption. As Cain writes:
Anyone who has ever needed noise-canceling headphones in her own office or marked an online calendar with a fake meeting in order to escape yet another real one knows what I'm talking about.
It's one thing when each member works autonomously on his piece of the puzzle; it's another to be corralled into endless meetings or conference calls conducted in offices that afford no respite from coworkers' conversations or gazes.
Are you working in a company where executive coaches and leadership consultants provide leadership development to develop emotionally intelligent leaders and teams? Does your organization provide executive coaching for leaders who need to increase their emotional intelligence and social intelligence? Enlightened leaders tap into their emotional intelligence and social intelligence skills to create a more fulfilling future.
One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is "Does groupthink diminish the performance of our teams?" Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent organizations provide executive coaching as part of their transformational peak performance leadership development and team building programs.
Working with a seasoned executive coach and leadership consultant trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-I, CPI 260 and Denison Culture Survey can teams minimize groupthink and maximize creativity and high performance. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become fully engaged with the vision, mission and strategy of your company or law firm.

Maddog – never before in the history of any election have we seen a "full court press" the likes of which we've seen by the NWO, Media, Corporate, Globalist, Neocon crowd put on Donald Trump, and that includes FOX News. It's really gotten so bad I can't even watch FOX anymore, which was barely tolerable to begin with. Yes, if you're watching the MSM like apparently R640 does, and hopes like they do, Hillary has it all wrapped up. He's getting crushed in the phony polls – every one of them. If you listen to supposed conservatives like George Will and Charles Krauthammer, he's dangerous and should never be elected.
and yet…he still draws many thousands to his rallies…a man who is utterly defeated – SUPPOSEDLY
Watch the primary race in Wisconsin with the ultimate insider Rat Ryan and Paul Nehlen next week. I'll tell you this, if Nehlen pulls off a major upset, Trump will win in a landslide.
Trump and the RNC raised $82 million in July with small donors which dwarfed Hillary's $52 million by hedge fund and elitist big donors.
Who do the people want elected?
Farmboy and Wanka` – please try not to trash my good name too much while I'm working my ass off, would ya? 🙂

The Coalition for Romania's Development (CDR) called on the authorities to reconsider the ordinance 114/2018, which sets new taxes, and measures that negatively impact some of the most important business sectors in the local economy.
CDR claims the ordinance "brutally changes rules in sectors that support the modernization of the economy and the quality of life of the population".
The CDR asked the Government to repeal the emergency ordinance before it produces negative effects.
Over the past month, since the Government passed the ordinance, the investors' association had the opportunity to evaluate the impact that ranged from very harsh to dramatic. The banking, energy, and telecommunication sectors were the most important sectors facing major problems following the new taxes and market regulations provisioned by the ordinance. In an open letter to prime minister Viorica Dancila, CDR says that inducing unjustified shock in these sectors risks pushing them into a deep crisis.
Based on consultations with economists and business leaders, CDR representatives came to the conclusion that, after ordinance 114, the access to financing in Romania may become more difficult, and the small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) will be significantly hurt, while the people's income will decline dragging down consumption. Households will also face difficulties in accessing bank credit, the capital market will play a lower role in financing the economy, the national currency may depreciate against other currencies and the state risks paying higher interest rates for financing the deficit.
If taken seriously, the message may at least lead to real consultations between investors and the ruling coalition before the ordinance is passed as a law.

Activists on the left in the Unison union are set to hold an important national meeting in Manchester.
It follows a series of regional activist meetings after a call from a number of left members of the union's national executive (NEC) to organise for a "fighting, democratic union".
There is deep anger among Unison activists at the union leadership's performance in last year's industrial campaign over pay in local government.
Union members have forced a special conference for local government to hold the leadership to account over the rotten deal and discuss a strategy over getting better pay.
It is set to take place in London on 24 March.
The Manchester meeting is open to all Unison members and aims to build maximum unity of the left in the union for a united campaign to contest upcoming union elections.

Christmas #3--Christmas Morning, Our House
Christmas Day sure did sneak up on me. And now I can't believe it is over. *tear* But it was a great morning! The look on Hannah's face as she ripped the paper off to get to her gifts was priceless. She got so excited every time we handed her a new gift. It really made Christmas so much more enjoyable knowing Hannah was truly excited to open her gifts and to find out what she had gotten.
Christmas #4--Christmas Night, My Parent's House
After a nice relaxing Christmas morning we were off to my parents house for dinner and more gifts from Santa. My sister and brother-in-law traveled up from Indy which was nice. We had a nice prime rib dinner with cheesecake for dessert! Yummy! And before we all feel asleep we managed to open up our gifts. :o)
Christmas #5--Day After Christmas, Nick's Parent's House
The day after Christmas we headed to Nick's parent's house for dinner and even more gifts. By this time Hannah already had a mini community of Little People...but after Nick's parents she had a full blown Little people community--over 50 Little People figures!
All of Nick's sister were there which was great...the first time all of the sibling were together in quite some time (years perhaps). Hannah loved spending time with her aunties! :o)
And after all of the excitement, Hannah was ready to crash! It was a busy week of opening gifts for her! :oP
I hope you all had a great Christmas...surrounded by the ones who mean most to you! I still can't believe it is all over! :o(

Historic Keney Park
Keney Park, composing 693 acres, is one of the largest designed landscapes in the United States. An initial gift of 533 acres by investor and wholesale grocer, Henry Keney to the City of Hartford in 1894, it expanded the City's then-emerging park system. Keney Park was designed by the landscape architectural firm of Olmsted, Olmsted and Eliot. It was deemed ready and presentable for transfer to the City, as directed in Keney's will, on August 18, 1924. Keney Park was intentionally designed to be a "truly sylvan pastoral landscape." Over time, it has been enjoyed by generations of Hartford families and visitors. In 1993 the City of Hartford gave the FOKP a renovated park foreman's house to serve as the organization's office. The FOKP has been working to develop this house into a museum/library of all Hartford's parks' histories. This office also serves as a catalyst to bring more activities and neighborhood participation into the Park. In addition to the Keney Park House the organization also oversees the upkeep of a banquet hall/meeting house facility which is capable of accommodating 120 people. The facility is equipped with a fully- licensed commercial kitchen and is available to the public on a rental basis for private events. The banquet facility has been the site of countless community meetings and family reunions.

Remember back when people uses the term 'drop call'? When a person who called you will only stayed on the line for only and ONLY less than 5 seconds so the his carrier would not charge him for that 5-second call.
Well, fastforward to the present..
I have two cellphones like most of the people I know. But unlike them I only get few calls mostly re work, and receive few text msgs mostly from very close friends.
Even though I have two perfectly working cellphones, we still have a landline at home which occasionally rings. And when it does, I have 3 guesses who could calling:
1. One of my 3 high school friends who are still living in Lucban.
2. Digitel's billing rep reminding us the amount due and the due date.
3. Wrong number.
That is why when I answered that one call the other day, I knew it was you. I heard your voice and I listened to the sound of your breath.
''You had me at 'hello'.''
Good morning! I'm going to bed.

(Monotype - MONO051) CD $14.00
The Russian duo also known as Astma worked with Phillips in June 2009; the recordings combine the energy unleashed by Borisov and Nosova together with the more continuous sound world of Phillips and occasional rapid editing from him. Densely orchestrated electronics with a hypnotic, psychedelic feeling that embraces elements of weird free-form spoken word, minimalism, free jazz, noise, heavy acid, electroacoustic, dub and a variety of acoustic torture.
(Tochnit Aleph - TA029) CDR $20.00 (Out-of-stock)
61 tracks by this Schimpfluch Gruppe / Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock collaborator, most of which are from a 1997 Schimpfluch cassette-only release. In the gain-attendant tradition of consciousness-captains R&G and S-G, gorked-up splats leap out of nowhere and try to permanently damage internal potentiometers by abusing the far reaches of impact detection. III+ enforces awareness of annexation of all empirical data receptors with magnifying glasses (or a suitably sexy analog). As in all great works of literature from the macrobiotic punctuation school, it's all about the crossing and the dotting. In oversized sleeve.
Illusion is a Natural Condition
(Auscultare Research) CD $10.50 (Out-of-stock)
The long anticipated collection of Dave Phillips and R.H.Y. Yau collaborations culled between 2000-2005. Phillips began his musical career when he was 17, co-founding the hardcore extremists Fear of God in 1987, whose increasingly faster, shorter, and noisier approaches to grindcore Philips realized were merely a springboard for more psychologically challenging and physically demanding artforms. Soon after Fear of God's demise in 1989, he joined the actionist Schimpfluch-Gruppe which has followed the traditions of abjection and transgression as dictated by the Viennese Aktionists. Phillips has further developed these transgressions along with sociopolitical actionism in his solo efforts. Yau is a curator and sound artist who has been active in the sonic arts since 1993; his works are inspired by sound poetry, actionism, and the processes of musique concrète. Bored by academic cliques, Yau creates what he calls "action-concrète" -- organic synapses of voice, body, and raw materiality combined with raw electronics into sound experiences of both ultra-violence and absolute absurdity at the most base level. With ten lithographic reproductions of original drawings by Leif Elggren.
(Ini Itu - INIITU1002) LP $16.00 (Out-of-stock)
Using source material recorded in Thailand and Vietnam between 1994 and 2007, Mutations rests between Phillips's constructed works and his pure field recordings. Here he juxtaposes, layers, condenses, stretches, and distorts sounds into balanced progressions, punctuations and dense climaxes which generate an overwhelming and sometimes uneasy environment. Hallucinatory, unsettling, brooding, ominous, always restrained, controlled, progressing toward the horror. Hesse-Honegger is a scientific illustrator and researcher who has studied the effects of radioactivity on insect morphology. Edition of 250, with two high-quality printed inserts. TEDIUM HOUSE BEST OF 2011
They Live
(RRRecords) LP $15.00 (Out-of-stock)
An anarchist protest / actionist record, like Otto Muehl having his way with Herman Nitsch. Avant excursions of guttural excess and militant pounding, almost academic in its scope, by this current member of Schimpfluch and the former big cheese behind Fear Of God. TEDIUM HOUSE BEST OF 2009
We Are None Of Us
(Misanthropic Agenda - MAR035) 2xLP $30.00 (Out-of-stock)
Electronics, processed sound, and field recordings meticulously arranged to form a dark and unsettling narrative. The 2xLP version of this extremely dynamic electro-acoustic studio album contains two additional tracks not on the CD and comes with a download card for a recording of the duo's full September 2010 performance at Ertz Festival in Spain. Edition of 200.

My patients are still waiting
I work in the Forest of Dean. Many of my patients have no transport and would be unable to travel to a central polyclinic.
It would also put patients' health at risk. We have spent years building up a knowledge of their medical histories and social backgrounds.
It is irresponsible Government!
Dr Dawn Thwaite, Lydney, Gloucestershire
Lord Darzi has no clue on the dynamics of primary care. It would have been very honest if he would have put his hands up and said: 'I am not the right person for that purpose.'

Words could never convey the gratitude I have for Profiles by Kristen, but they are truly the best and most compassionate hair treatment salon in Central New York.
I called on them during a very difficult period of my life, when not only was my health declining; my hair was falling out and when I asked if there was any options for the hair loss, I was told "it is an expected occurrence in this situation". My self-esteem was at its lowest.
From the moment I entered Profiles by Kristen, I was put at ease and treated as if I were their only client when in reality I was not. I met with Nicole and she reviewed everything in detail using terms I could understand even though I was convinced by doctors and other facilities, there was nothing that could be done. It was my last try before giving up. She introduced me to my Hair Loss Specialist Jennifer who truly cared about my condition. With time, care, and guidance, my hair and scalp began to repair itself. The hair loss stopped and the thinning patches began new growth.
If you are looking for exceptional service and the utmost professional atmosphere, go no further than Profiles by Kristen. They are truly the best in Central New York. I would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with hair loss challenges.
I would like to end by saying thank you to the entire staff at Profiles by Kristen, not only your exceptional quality, service, and compassion, but for restoring my self-esteem.
Catherine Roberts
