Case Studies and Testimonials

To say that Dea and her coaching services had an impact on my life is an understatement. I felt like I was stuck in quicksand. Dea immediately dug in; helping me peel back the layers to what was at the heart of the matter and where specifically I was stagnating. Her fresh point of view and probing helped to identify blockages and limitations I was creating for myself. She helped me to construct a clear path and gave me tools to get on, and stay on that path. I no longer feel overwhelmed tackling problems when I use the methods she showed me for planning and problem resolution. She taught me to identify when I was engaging in the negative self-talk so as to change the behavior and turn it into a positive inner dialogue.
Dea possesses a unique blend of professional, personal and creative savvy to help people in every facet of their life. She has an easy going way about her that allows clients to put their trust in her and open up without fear of being judged, to allow her to make suggestions, ideas and tweaks in their lives to put them on a course for success!
S.T., Former district manager, telecom industry
Great Marketer. Great Communicator. Highly recommended for creative approach in maximising advantage from commercial opportunities. Strong people manager. Recognised as a leader among her professional peers.
Ilya Bonic, Business Leader, Mercer
Dea provided thoughtful, creative, and technically skilled direction to a much-needed overhaul of our messaging and image in the marketplace. She elevated everything about our marketing and public relations capabilities and helped to drag us (kicking and screaming in some cases) into an era of standards and consistent practices that created a more recognizable and relevant brand. She contributed significant value through her client-centered, out-of-the-box approach.
Dea always stood up to what she believed to be 'right,' to the benefit of our organization. This was put to the test more than ever during ORC's acquisition and provided much needed leadership and ownership every step of the way.
Jodi Starkman, EVP and COO Consulting, ORC Worldwide
Dea and I were colleagues both at Aon Consulting and at ORC Worldwide. We worked closely together on major client projects, on high impact internal initiatives, on efforts to rebrand the business I led, and on the 2010 acquisition of our firm, which presented the ultimate challenge for a communicator and marketer. Dea was more than up to these challenges and always managed to handle things with a calm demeanor, a welcome directness, and an all-important and finely-tuned sense of humor!
Dea is a skilled and experienced communication consultant, marketer, business developer, project manager, and project colleague. Yes, it's hard to find all that in one person, but Dea has the whole package! Dea is a true team player, extremely creative and focused on delivering solutions that work for her clients. While clients trusted her implicitly (and explicitly), she was also a very effective manager and highly regarded by her staff. Once again, she demonstrates what is an unusual, and highly sought after, combination of capabilities. I'd be delighted to work with Dea again and recommend her as a consultant, advisor, or employee in any setting.
Andy Rosen, Principal, Buck Consultants (former Executive Vice President, ORC Worldwide)
Dea's work goes well beyond in terms of imagination, creativity, and format. She routinely delivers quality work, is a team player who is well respected by her staff and who stands by them as well. She provides opportunity for her people to develop and shares the credit she receives.
She is business-focused and proactive. She knows how to express her views and push for what she believes in, but she also knows to accept and proceed within the appropriate constraints. I have found her a joy to work with. Bottom line, she is the consummate professional, and I would recommend her most highly and unequivocally.
Robert J. Freedman, CEO ORC Worldwide (2001-2010)
I cannot recommend Dea highly enough. During our training, Dea was my peer coach, and I can promise you that even before becoming a certified coach, Dea's skills, compassion, intuition and direct but gentle manner were amazing! Her previous work as a consultant, combined with her additional skills of coaching – combined with her beautiful spirit, compassionate nature and intelligence, create one dynamite coach!"
Teresa Goetz, Founder, HealthyBeing (former student, The Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching)
I was going through a major career crisis – deciding between two great companies – and received immense benefit from frequent 'prep' and 'check-in' sessions with Dea throughout the entire process. I literally consulted her every step of the way, and she was there to help me make the right decisions. Her coaching skills were invaluable, and without her I would never have been able to negotiate the great role I now have."
Senior Consultant, top-tier management consulting firm
Dea was just the shot in the arm I needed to take control of my career. I learned about creating attainable goals and taking smarter steps to achieve what I needed to get my job search moving. Dea's personal approach and positive energy made it easier for me to make better, more realistic decisions, stop feeling overwhelmed, and finally take action. All I can say is that her coaching works. I can't recommend her enough!
Copy Director at Award-winning National Lifestyle Brand, and Blogger
I had the pleasure of training Dea to become a professional coach through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. So impressed by her skills as a coach that I have partnered with her on various coaching and consulting initiatives in the corporate sector. She is an incredibly talented coach, with outstanding coaching and communications skills, creativity and intuition. She also has a great sense of humor, and is a joy to work with.
Alan Cohen, MBA, CPC, PCC (ICF-Certified)
President, Acts of Balance Executive Coaching and Training; Author, Tough Talks for PR Pros
Dea is a tremendous resource, who integrates effectively into a company's culture to generate solutions that are well thought out and well received. She builds strong, long term relationships and can be relied on whenever she is engaged.
Stephen McGivney, Principal at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (former Executive Vice President, Northeast Region Director, Aon Consulting, Inc)
I was fortunate enough to work with Dea at Aon Consulting. She's a true communications expert and strategic thinker. I was able to see first hand how she listened to clients' needs, helped them draw out key messages, target them to the right audiences, and use interesting and innovative media to keep things fresh and exciting. The subject didn't matter – Dea could market anything and get you to take action! Dea was also an incredible mentor. She always had time for junior consultants like me. She explained her rationale, listened to our ideas and gave us chances to shine. And, she continues to be an inspiration and guide for me as I've continued my consulting career…12 years after first meeting her.
Dana Hurley, Associate, Towers Watson
Dea is an insightful leader who exercises excellent judgment, wisdom, and a positive influence. She is encouraging to others, but will also demonstrate great moral courage and the finesse needed to deliver difficult messages when required. She maintains a delightful and effective calm as well as a good sense of humor in times of challenge and stress. She has the ability to identify critical issues that need to be addressed (or opportunities being missed) and then communicate their essence with compelling clarity. Individuals with her unique blend of skills do not come along often.
Tobi D'Andrea, Executive Vice President, ORC Worldwide
As a senior leader managing through an acquisition with a large client base and a critical employee consulting team, I could not have had better communication support than Dea and her team to meet the daily challenges. Client facing and employee communication materials were crisp, clear and focused on the messaging. Words can not express how reassuring it was to open an ever changing file or box brochures with detailed, articulate, and almost moment by moment plans to support my transitioning business.
Edward Hannibal, Partner, Mercer (formerly SVP ORC Worldwide)
I had the pleasure of working with Dea as a member of the Marketing & Communications team at ORC Worldwide (now Mercer). Dea provided valuable strategic guidance at all levels of the organization and raised the marketing and branding visibility of ORC's products and services to a whole new level. She also provided white-glove service to ORC's clients and colleagues and fostered success for everyone who worked with her. She is able to orchestrate multi-faceted marketing and communication campaigns. I highly recommend Dea!
Suzy Johnson, President and Owner at Novel Communications LLC (former Director, Communication & Marketing, ORC Worldwide)
What started out as a redo-my-resume project ended up being a real crafting of my work history, both on the resume itself and in my ability to tell my story. Dea really helped me remember some of my great projects and why they apply to what I'm striving for in my career, and also to steer clear of irrelevant work that would dilute my overall message. She was a joy to work with!
Deirdre McMennamin, Brand/Path to Purchase Strategy Expert

'There's nothing as mediocre as Leanne Manas shem' - Ntsiki Mazwai
Ntsiki Mazwai launched a scathing attack on TV personality Leanne Manas on Wednesday' calling her "mediocre".
Taking to to her Twitter page Ntsiki said in her view' the SABC news anchor was mediocre and was only kept in her position as a result of "white privilege."
Akere you think Leanne Mannas is good cos she is white? Or whatever she is ..but it's not black. Akere. Nothing as mediocre as Leanne Shem— CheriEgrand 🐝 (@ntsikimazwai) September 12, 2018
Ntsiki claimed Leanne was occupying a position that belonged to someone who would represent the black majority of Mzansi.
"Playing victim will not change the fact that the position you occupy belongs to someone who represents our country of a black majority."
Leanne responded to Ntsiki's tweets by saying she's been observing how Ntsiki "hates on her for being white".
The Morning Live news anchor said she's seen the many times Ntsiki had put her down and that she hoped to meet with Ntsiki so that she could get to know her as a person and not "as a colour".
Meanwhile tweeps on Ntsiki's TL went ahead and expressed their reactions to her statement.
Never met you - have heard about you & have seen how you hate on me for being white.— Leanne Manas (@LeanneManas) September 12, 2018
It's ok - I'm ok with it. I've never commented on the numerous times you have put me down. Maybe one day we can meet & you may just like me as a person & not as a colour. Take care ❤ https://t.co/IX7QUuAsy6
We have met many times but white privilege means that you don't need to keep up with current affairs in SA..... https://t.co/WFl9El4HDa— CheriEgrand 🐝 (@ntsikimazwai) September 12, 2018
White privilege!!!!!!!! Leanna and Jane same whatsapp group and the guy on Kaya fm in the morning https://t.co/lP4imqY3eL— CheriEgrand 🐝 (@ntsikimazwai) September 12, 2018
The poet seemed to have a lot of people sharing her sentiments and an almost equal number of people accusing her of "attacking" Leanne for no particular reason other than loving (and living) to criticise people.
See some of the reactions below.
Ntsiki Mazwai is the most hateful person on planet earth. Who tf hates on Leanne Manas (sp) ? All she does is read the news & mornings bearable for kids countrywide on Morning Live.— Nasi S Baby (@sipthesethingz) September 12, 2018
You don't have to meet Ntsiki Mazwai for anything. The only woman she doesn't hate is her sister Thandiswa, and ONLY because they're sisters https://t.co/5QlZ5EByY0— 愛 (@LeratoAi) September 12, 2018
Leanne Manas put Ntsiki Mazwai in her place & Moghel disappeared with her tail between the legs. pic.twitter.com/YM91IfNnfO— Hloni Nyetanyane (@HloniNyetanyane) September 12, 2018

Ivanka Trump on Weddings and Gems
In a Middle East exclusive, Ivanka Trump talks about her wedding and honeymoon with a man who was once classed among Manhattan's most eligible bachelors
Honeymoon on safari, custom Vera Wang and a husband who was one of Manhattan's most eligible bachelors, Ivanka Trump married publisher and real estate magnet Jared Kushner at a private ceremony at Trump National Golf Club on October 25, 2009 in Bedminster, New Jersey. A tour de force on the world's fashion stage ever since she was 14, Ivanka soon ruled the business roost some years later. Now, very much come into her own as a jewellery designer extraordinaire, Ivanka gives all the brides in the world private bits and bobs on her big day and how to plan the jewellery on their big day!
On Her Wedding...
Did you pick your own engagement ring or did Jared pick it?
Jared designed the ring for me, of course, with the help of the diamond experts at my jewellery store.
Who do you think makes the most gorgeous wedding gowns?
Obviously, I love Vera Wang (she says with a smile).
Tell us a little about your bridal look?
Well, my dress was custom Vera Wang – it was a gorgeous lace and tulle gown. My shoes were Stuart Weitzman, they were 100m satin stilettos, and they were dyed a custom pale ecru colour to match my gown.
Did your jewellery come first or did it all begin with your dress?
Oh, the Vera Wang dress came first and then I chose the jewellery from my bridal and couture collections of the Ivanka Trump Fine Jewellery line. Basically I wore a custom designed platinum mixed-cut diamond hair piece – 6.38tw (Dhs165,294) which accented my veil; then in my ears I wore a platinum mixed-cut cluster of earrings – 9.67tw (Dhs477,516) and a platinum art deco fancy link diamond estate bracelet – 26.00tw (Dhs477,516).
How did you feel just 10 minutes before walking down the aisle?
I felt total conviction that I had found the perfect partner. It was one of the greatest moments of my life.
What's your advice to brides a few months before their big day?
Stay calm and relaxed, remember that only you will notice all the small things that went wrong, make sure your shoes are comfortable for lots of dancing (I had a spare pair of flats) and make sure to eat a big slice of your wedding cake!
Were there any glitches on the big day?
I am sure that there were but these minor hiccups are just not relevant in retrospect. It was a perfect day, really.
Did you have a wedding planner or did friends and family do it all for you?
Preston Bailey was my wedding planner – he was very organised and focused.
Did your wedding have a theme?
Well, I wanted the theme to be very classic but modern at the same time. Preston understood my vision completely and played it out beautifully!
Where did you honeymoon?
I went to Africa for my honeymoon and we stayed at La Residence in South Africa, where we toured the Franschloek Valley Vineyards. We also went on safari and stayed at the Ivory Sands Safari Lodge near Kruger National Park. Mozambique was our last stop where we hired a private villa and snorkelled the famous Two Mile Reef!
Where will you be going for your next 'honeymoon' so-to-speak?
Ha ha – I will let you know when it's planned!
On Her Jewellery...
How did you get into jewellery designing and when did it all begin for you?
I have always been inspired by jewellery, it has always been more than just an accessory for me – it's more like a lifetime investment. I grew up with my mother's legacy jewellery, which inspired me constantly.My mother also gave me my first important piece: a diamond necklace that my father gave her as an anniversary gift. I officially launched the jewellery line in 2007 with a jewel-box boutique on Madison Avenue in New York City. We are now going global, to the rest of the US, the Middle East and Asia.
What's your favourite-ever piece of jewellery?
My favourite pieces are the signature ovals and the tassels from my line.
When girls are buying wedding jewellery – how do you suggest they go about it?
Buy something you will always love wearing. I think big hints and explicit 'I want that' always helps if you want someone else to buy you something! And for your wedding ring, you have to wear it forever, so it should be something that speaks to you and represents you as a woman.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
My jewellery is inspired from anywhere between the 20s to the 60's – fashion's mostcelebrated eras! My travel destinations and interactions with the world's different languages and cultures also heavily inspires my collections. And then, back home in New York City, the buildings and the architecture inspire me as well. My design philosophy is simple: jewellery should pay homage to the past while embracing the future.
Who would you like to see wearing your jewellery and why?
I want my jewellery to reflect the spirit of the sophisticated modern woman who has a strong sense of herself, knows what she likes and values exquisite craftsmanship. My female customer has a strong sense of tradition that she wants to make her own. My jewellery is designed for women of all ages and all backgrounds.
What's the hot trend, stone, colour and style for 2010?
My vision for jewellery has always been 'heir-loom chic' – putting a modern twist on classic jewellery. I think each piece of jewellery should stand the testof time, it should be an investment, not a trend. In my collection, we have expanded our rose gold collection for 2010. We have also expanded our signature oval and octagonal yellow gold collections that were very well received. They are all classic and that's the philosophy I follow.
What are the few key pieces of jewellery that every bride should wear?
For the wedding day, a perfect pair of earrings and a stunning diamond bracelet along with your engagement ring and wedding band should be ample.
Are there certain shapes to keep in mind while buying jewels?
The beauty of jewellery is that it can fit all shapes and sizes. All my pieces are available for custom ordering so the customer can be in charge of how they want each piece to look, feel and fit. Some body traits to focus on when buying jewellery are broad shoulders, long necks, short necks, a big frame, a petite frame, dark skin, tanned skin, light skin and height. A good jeweller will be able to give you advice.

Red and green lights reflect off the snow as I drive slowly through my neighborhood, enjoying the decorations in my neighbors' yards. Christmas music blares through my car's speakers while tiny snowflakes fall from the sky, ending their journey on my windshield. Parking the car, I swing open the door and am confronted with a blast of cold air mixed with the smell of pine needles and wet snow.
I step inside my cozy little home, and there in my kitchen is… a scarecrow? A garland of leaves? Pumpkin cookies?
Oh yes, I nearly forgot. It's still November. We still have to get through Thanksgiving before my parents will even crack the lid on the dusty old bin of Christmas decorations. I have to contain my excitement for Christmas a bit longer—just until Thanksgiving is out of the way.
Why take the time to be thankful when Christmas is coming? Stores, TV commercials, and radio stations transfer immediately from Halloween to Christmas in the matter of just a few days. Thanksgiving is pretty much represented by a big meal, some football, and a huge, chaotic shopping spree. It's kind of like the prelude to Christmas.
Oh, and sometimes I'll see an occasional paper plate decked out in leaves, scarecrows, and pumpkins that reads, "give thanks." For those who do not know the Lord, to whom do we give our thanks?
As Christians, shouldn't we step back for a brief moment and evaluate our position on gratitude? The Bible tells us countless times to give thanks to the Lord. First Thessalonians 5:18 takes it as far as to command: "give thanks in all circumstances."
Our first president, George Washington, a strong Christian and amazing politician, declared on October 3, 1789 that there was to be a day of Thanksgiving in America. In fact, he published a written proclamation of this official day. Washington says,
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation.
Modern Americans have strayed so far from this vision.
Yes, I am a Christmas fanatic. But my challenge both to myself and to you this year is this: let's hold off on Christmas until the Friday after Thanksgiving. Let's focus our hearts and our minds on all that God has done for us. Let's make Thanksgiving a peaceful, memorable day of family, faith, and good food. Let's hold off on the Christmas carols, restrain ourselves from posting scary pictures of Elf on our Facebook page, and keep the Christmas tree in the attic where it belongs.
Finally, let's focus our eyes on Who this whole season is about. The Man who gave up His life for you and for me deserves all of our praise and devotion. This Thanksgiving, remember to give thanks to the God Who deserves it.

I remember hating Excalibur #18 when it came out in 1989. In general I wasn't well disposed to any non-Alan Davis issue of the comic anyway, but the lengthy "Cross Time Caper" storyline had already shown signs of coming off the tracks and this issue was full of super ugly, off-model, inconsistent art.
At the time I did not realise that this issue, and to some extent issue 19, was intended as a parody of anime. In particular Speed Racer and Dirty Pair, actually only Speed Racer and Dirty Pair. What artist Dennis Jensen was apparently doing was portraying Kitty and Brian turning into anime characters the longer they stayed in the alternate Earth they'd ended up in. But only them, not the rest of Excalibur. And apparently only the "Lovely Pair" looked like anime characters in this world, as the evil anime Jamie Braddock looked like evil normal Jamie Braddock pre-lobotomy.
Nowadays I can appreciate the Cross Time Caper as a whole, as I'm not waiting a month between issues and getting annoyed the lack of plot movement. Nevertheless, Excalibur #18 is still a horrible comic.
When you had Bret Blevins working at Marvel at the time, having an artist who inked Carmine Infantino in the 70s draw your anime parody seems an odd choice. A clue to why it's so sloppy and all over the place may lie in the inker credits "Dan Adkins & Co". Never good sign when there are multiple inkers, even less of a good sign when there's no space to list them all.
Ignoring the horrible, clunky art, the story is a mess too. There's some barely comprehensible plot with Meggan's powers behaving oddly around Rachel's Phoenix powers. The whole "my powers are behaving strange" is one of my least favourite superhero plots and here it gets two issues worth of story.
And the villain is an alternate reality Jamie Braddock which means… Reality Altering. Claremont really likes that power, I wonder if him giving Jamie that power was another "can't use Jim Jaspers" work around like the Adversary? Plus the comic is Claremont at his most verbose, possibly attempting to hide the art with as many speech bubbles as possible.
A rotten comic. Thankfully #19 had Rick Leonardi on it, who I hated when I was 14 years old, but what did I know, I was a teenager. Rick Leonardi is awesome. Go get his work on Cloak & Dagger, it's pretty neat.
I'll leave you with more of Claremont's homage to the Dirty Pair from #18.

Antonio Brown wore special cleats Sunday, shoes that bore the faces of his children because, he explained, they're "the four reasons I lace them up every day."
Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown wore baby-blue cleats with the faces of his four children during the first half of Pittsburgh's 34-3 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. The images of children Antonio Jr., Autonomy, Ali and Antanyiah are "the four reasons I lace them up every day," Brown wrote on Twitter with an picture of the cleats.
As Brown returned to the field before the second half Sunday, a referee reportedly forced him to change shoes or sit the rest of the game. So Brown put on regular white cleats in an incident he confirmed on his weekly radio show with WDVE.
Brown was previously fined $9,115 for wearing blue cleats during the Steelers' Week 1 game.
Instead of having the league Brown him with a second-offense fine of $18,231, the referee just threatened him.

It's a month after the flood. People are starting to forget. That's natural. Although there are reminders everywhere you look. Empty businesses, empty houses, giant dumpsters filled with the remains of normalcy. The inmates at the Davidson County jail aren't forgetting. They are on the front lines of Nashville's recovery every day.
The Sheriff's Department has a great program that matches low security inmates (guys who may have fallen behind in their child support or forged a check) with nonprofits that need help. The Community Resource Center has used them for years for everything from lawn maintenance to moving us from one building to another.
But I will have to say the flood has been these guys' finest hours. They saved Nashville. When Nashville's only remaining water plant was about to be overtaken by the Cumberland, the inmates volunteered to sandbag it. They worked literally nonstop for a day and a half, in sweltering heat and water lousy with chemicals and debris, to save Nashville's water. The Tennessean wrote about it. Some of the local TV stations got it wrong. The National Guard showed up, supposedly to sandbag. The TV crews filmed them. But the Guard must have seen that the inmates had it under control. They left. The inmates stayed.
Since then, the inmates have cleaned debris out of houses, delivered emergency supplies and helped us here at the temporary warehouse unload semi trucks full of donations.
One of the guys told me Saturday that some people are fearful when they see the inmates coming. They assume the inmates are hardened criminals. They're not. They're guys who got stuck in bad situations, some of their own doing and some not. They're guys who really shouldn't be in jail in the first place if you think about it. The guy who fell behind on his child support? Now he doesn't have a job and he'll have a harder time finding one when he gets out.
As Nashville continues to recover you may see the guys in the orange shirts around town. If you get a chance, go shake their hands and say thanks. The mayor already did. Personally. That should tell you a lot.

PALM BEACH, FL, USA - Former World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki, rising 15-year-old prodigy Coco Gauff, Olympic gold medallist Monica Puig and three-time WTA titlist Sofia Kenin were at the forefront of Fore Love, the charity event hosted by ATP stars Bob and Mike Bryan and golf legend Jack Nicklaus now in its third year.
Comprising of a golf pro-am last Monday and a tennis pro-am last Tuesday, which took place on Nicklaus's personal grass courts in Palm Beach, Florida, the event raised $1.2 million this year for the Bryan Bros Foundation, which is dedicated to helping children gain skills through tennis, music and the arts, and the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, which supports pediatric facilities across the USA.
Current and former ATP players Jim Courier, Kevin Anderson, Gaston Gaudio, Guillermo Cañas, Reilly Opelka and Tommy Paul also participated in an event that brought together both professional tennis tours as well as the golfing world.
"Anytime we're able to give back as athletes, we're lucky," said Courier. "There's a culture in both golf and tennis where everyone helps each other for events like this. It's a fabulous culture. This is a busy time of the year for everyone, getting ready for the new year, but there's nothing more important than giving back and doing good. We're all doing that here… Why not say yes to that?"

This started out as a honey-lime salmon. We were trying to reclaim a taste of summer. But then we forgot to buy limes, and remembered how good tequila is in food, so there you have it. A happy mistake!
This is super easy to make and it's ready in a flash.
We made a couple of tequila marinades late this summer when we went on a lime kick. We were all lime-this and lime-that. Fish taco? Lime it. Pad Thai? Lime it.
To start, we're going to assemble a nice salsa. You will need:
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1/2 to 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 2 tsp. cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
Warm up the oil, add in the onion and garlic and season it up. Let that go for about three minutes, or until the onions are soft.
To cook the fish, you will need:
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 ounce tequila
- 3 Tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a separate nonstick skillet. Combine lemon juice, tequila, honey and chili powder in a shallow dish with salt and pepper. Add salmon fillets to mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Add the salmon to the hot skillet and cook about 3-4 minutes per side.
To finish off the salsa, add:
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 – 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock
Allow that to cook for about 5 minutes, then add some fresh cilantro.
To serve, plate the salmon and top with the black bean salsa. Serve with actual tequila shots (or not).

As we women age, the old say of "less is more" is very true. Fine lines and dry skin can cause your old liquid makeup to make you look older than necessary. Improperly applied makeup and poorly chosen colors can and will age you. It's very important to take care of your skin at any age, but if you're over 40 you have some special considerations. If you haven't looked in your makeup drawer for a while you might want to take want to do a makeup checkup.
Many women are obsessed with the concept of beauty. As a society we build up the many aspects of physical, outer beauty. Though women have typically been the ones focused on how to look their best men are starting to be more open about their need to look their best.
If you walk up to anyone on the street and ask them whether we emphasize outer appearance more than we should you will probably get a high percentage of "yes" answers but those same people will do everything they can to look their best. This is why the beauty industry is so strong.

Q: What is a nonqualified or nonstatutory stock option?
A: A nonqualified or nonstatutory stock option (an "NQO") is a type of compensatory stock option that is not intended or does not qualify to be an incentive stock option (an "ISO") under the Internal Revenue Code. ISOs are only available to employees (not non-employee directors or independent contractors), and there are mathematical limitations on the amount of an option that can qualify as an ISO.
The purported advantage of incentive stock options is no "ordinary" income upon exercise of an option in the money. The problem is that this statement, while technically true, is not complete–because the spread on the exercise of an ISO is an alternative minimum tax adjustment. Thus, depending on the particular circumstances of the optionee exercising an ISO, the alternative minimum tax due as a result of the exercise can be quite significant.
Please see the article I wrote on this point.
Q: Is the receipt of a nonqualified stock option taxable?
A: No, there is no tax on the receipt of an NQO as long as the exercise price of the stock option is equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.
Q: What are the tax consequences of exercising a nonqualified stock option?
A: The spread on exercise–meaning, the amount by which the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise exceeds the exercise price–is ordinary income, and subject to ordinary income and wage witholding.
Q: When does my capital gains holding period start on stock option shares?
A: Your capital gains holding period does not start until you exercise the stock option.

What's in a [brand] name?
I don't share this story often, but the more and more I explain it in person with folks I meet, the more important I realize I need to make sure this story is told.
The name is an important one - I often tell people it's actually the first product I created.
I wanted a name that spoke to a sense of unity and radiated elegance. I also wanted something that sounded fearless and mysterious - a name that evoked power.
Looking back in American history, there's no greater historical event in women's sports than when Title IX was passed. For those who need a quick history lesson, Title IX states:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
At the time of its passing, it gave women the right to compete at the collegiate level in sports. Since then, we've gotten ourselves to a point where women can fight equally amongst men on the mainstream stage, in the cage and in the ring. While we still have a ways to go, what I do know is, I sat in a sold out Staples Center to witness a UFC PPV card, headlined by two women's fights. We live in an incredible time for women's athletics.
That's what our society honors. It pays homage to the fighters before us, and the fighters now amongst us. It speaks to what the future holds for the modern female fighter - she is capable of doing absolutely anything.
These women represent pure resilience and unbridled strength. We are brought together by our sense of power, found and gained on our own terms.
Society Nine unites these women, and supports them in their fight - in and out of the gym.
I hope you'll join our society.

Hon Rita Saffioti BBus MLA
Minister for Transport; Planning
Hon Alannah MacTiernan MLC
Minister for Regional Development; Agriculture and Food; Ports; Minister Assisting the Minister for State Development, Jobs and Trade
The McGowan Government's Transforming Bunbury Waterfront election commitment has reached a milestone with the awarding of the first contract for stage two of the project.
Western Australian company Advanteering Civil Engineers has been awarded the first of two contracts that will deliver the $10.8 million upgrade of the Jetty Road causeway at Casuarina Boat Harbour in Bunbury.
The contract guarantees local jobs and benefits to the local economy with rock for the project to be sourced from South-West quarries, and local engineering and commercial diving businesses to be subcontracted for other specialised services.
From early November, about 24,000 tonnes of rock will be placed in the water using a specialised long reach excavator to improve protection during storm events.
Rock will be placed in layers over several months where the seabed is soft to maximise strength, and it is anticipated this phase of work will be completed by mid-2019. Another contract for the second phase of the upgrade is expected to be awarded in early 2019, with on-site work anticipated to commence in mid-2019.
Meanwhile, concept planning for the stage two foreshore development along Casuarina Drive has now started and a community survey is being launched today so Bunbury residents can share their thoughts on the revitalisation.
The redevelopment will include better parking at BP Beach, improved pedestrian and cycle links, enhanced landscaping and new spaces for recreational use with protection from coastal hazards.
The survey will close at 12pm on Wednesday October 10, 2018. Once the results are reviewed, draft landscaping designs are expected to be ready in late November and will be made available for community comment.
For more information, visit http://www.transformingbunburyswaterfront.com.au
Comments attributed to Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:
"The causeway upgrade is a significant first step towards addressing demand for local boating infrastructure and services.
"This work will support a major future expansion in boat pens off the causeway itself, which is currently being planned for the next stage of the TBW project.
"To help drive inspiration and design of the new waterfront precinct, the Bunbury community is invited to give feedback via an online survey to ensure transformation of the precinct is community driven."
Comments attributed to Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan:
"The start of Stage 2 works will mark an exciting new milestone in Transforming Bunbury's Waterfront, which is delivering tangible social and economic benefits for the city.
"Importantly, we're continuing to put local jobs at the heart of this project; the commitment to local subcontractors and locally sourced materials is a boost for Bunbury.
"Stage 1 is almost complete with the Dolphin Discovery Centre in the process of being redeveloped for reopening this December."
Comments attributed to Bunbury MLA Don Punch:
"Jetty Road is a really important piece of infrastructure that supports the lifestyle we all know and love in Bunbury, so I am really pleased to see the delivery of this election commitment underway.
"BP Beach and Jetty Baths are beaches well loved by our community, so I encourage all members of our community to get involved with the online survey to make sure the redevelopment of Casuarina Drive is reflective of what we want our waterfront to be.
"We went to an election promising that State Government projects in Bunbury would mean local jobs, and I am proud that through projects like this stage of Transforming Bunbury's Waterfront we are delivering on that commitment."

and have invited folks to bring
In truth, I didn't know what to bring. I thought about bringing chili, but honestly, there's nothing at all special about my chili. I don't even use dry beans. I thought of a few other soups too, but my soup making is mostly trial and error, emphasis on the error.
So I decided to try a new recipe. See... the wonderful thing about a virtual pot luck is that it's visual. Even if it actually tastes like rubber cement, no one is the wiser as long as it looks good.
I decided to make pumpkin soup. Now, I've never made pumpkin soup before. In fact, I've never even eaten pumpkin soup before. I just had a notion that it would be an Octoberish thing to bring.
and tasting it,
¼ cup chopped onions. I used sweet onions, of course.
3T. curry powder (reserve 1 tablespoon)
15 ounces pureed pumpkin
2 cups vegetable stock
3 T. pure maple syrup (reserve 1 tablespoon)
15 ounce can of coconut milk
¼ cup pecan halves
a dollop of whipping cream
Sautee the onions in the olive oil for 5 minutes
Whisk in
2 T. curry powder
Vegetable stock
2 T. maple syrup
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Return to the pot and add the coconut milk.
Simmer for about 10 more minutes.
Mix the remaining curry powder and maple syrup and coat the pecans. Toast coated pecans for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.
That's it. Seriously delicious.
Garnished with a little whipping cream and the pecans...
Of course...
Just another day in paradise...

DURBAN – The recent announcement of Richards Bay Minerals' (RBM) R6.5billion investment is expected to have a substantial positive impact on the economy of the province.
Last week, Rio Tinto, the international holding company for RBM, announced it had approved the next stage in the development of RBM in South Africa through the construction of the Zulti South project.
The company said the investment would sustain RBM's capacity and extend mine life.
RBM operates four mines in the Zulti North lease area, a mineral separation plant and smelting facility. The Zulti North orebody grade is declining, so the Zulti South mine is required to maintain the output of high-margin zircon and rutile, and provide ore to support TiO2 sales.
The Zulti South mine (Phase 1) will underpin RBM's supply of zircon and ilmenite over the life of mine.
Construction is scheduled to start in mid-2019, subject to the granting of all necessary permits, with first commercial production expected in late 2021.
Rio Tinto chief executive J-S Jacques said: "Rio Tinto has a long history in South Africa, and today's investment underscores our commitment for the coming decades and beyond. Zulti South is one of the best undeveloped minerals sand deposits in the industry, and will significantly extend RBM's position as a world-class, first-quartile asset."
Rio Tinto Energy & Minerals chief executive Bold Baatar said the company's investment in Zulti South would ensure it maintained its contribution to the province and partner communities.
"We want to recognise the support from the government of South Africa, the KwaZulu-Natal provincial leadership and, most importantly, the invaluable support of our host communities – Mbonambi, Sokhulu, Mkhwanazi and Dube – in securing the future of this world-class business."
Durban-based economist Bonke Dumisa said the investment was "very significant" as the country needed as much investment flow as it could it get.
He added that any investment should follow the proper planning and approvals and lead to job creation.
KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs Sihle Zikalala said it was encouraging that more business organisations such as RBM continued to express their commitment to the growth of the provincial economy.
"The investment by RBM is a major vote of confidence in the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone, one of our two special economic zones that have attracted R11.9bn of investments since its inception a few years ago," said Zikalala.
He said companies were investing in KZN because government had created a conducive environment for businesses.
"We call on the people of KZN to continue working with us in ensuring that we make investors feel that this is a province where they can come and settle."
He said KZN was targeting business prospects worth more than R200bn, which was announced when the province launched its investment booklet recently.
Minister of Mineral Resources Gwede Mantashe also welcomed the RBM investment announcement.
"The investment is an affirmation of South Africa's attractiveness as an investment destination. It confirms South Africa's stable and predictable policy and regulatory environment," he said.

Have you noticed how unsung heroes don't get much credit for what they do? Ain't that something? Well, let me point you in the direction of someone who deserves a bit more credit than he perhaps gets.
I'm impressed with Jamie Tolley. I think he was an astute signing by Saunders, although at the time I must admit that I had my doubts.
The circumstances weren't terribly auspicious. He arrived on trial in the Summer, didn't look particularly fit, and after scoring a superb goal in our first pre-season friendly, at Vauxhall Motors, didn't really catch the eye again.
However, he was given a contract, and I worried that Saunders might be falling into a familiar trap; one which has made a habit of catching a succession of Wrexham managers out in recent years. Basically, what happens is you see a player with a bit of quality, whose pedigree suggests he should be playing at a higher level, and you ignore the fact that he isn't fit, blinded by the prospect of what he'll be like when he actually does return to his best. The problem is, of course, that they rarely do rediscover their mojo. There might be the odd exception, I suppose, but there are many moregambles like that which don't come off. Juan Ugarte anyone?
I was therefore rather bothered that Tolley might fit into this category. He looked a bit laboured in the middle of the pitch as he looked to get his condition back, and that great strike which was burned in all our minds was beginning to look a little bit like a fluke.
However, as he started getting games under his belt, he showed us a few things. Firstly, that goal wasn't a one-off. He has chipped in with goals from midfield, including a screamer against Southport, and looks to have the technique to trouble goalkeepers from distance.
More encouraging though, is his ability to run beyond the strikers and get into goalscoring positions. He gets into the box well, and you suspect there are more goals in him as the season progresses. In that respect he reminds me of players like Terry McDermott or John Wark (showing my age here!), who often would be fairly peripheral in general play, but would consistently pop up in scoring positions.
Perhaps more crucially though, the amount of ground he covers in getting up and down the pitch these days shows that he has worked hard to attain peak fitness, and you certainly couldn't fault his attitude as you might some players who've arrived in similar circumstances. (I can't imagine why, but the words "Lamine Sakho" just drifted into my mind! Tolley's scored five times more goals than he ever got in a Wrexham shirt already despite the fact that he plays in a deeper position!)
Furthermore, I think Tolley does an important job when we haven't got the ball. Quite apart from his height, which is a useful asset in a physical league, we've shown an impressive ability to keep our defensive shape when we haven't got the ball, and Tolley has often been part of our most determined rearguard action. He reminds me of what people used to say about Mel Sutton in that respect; he does a lot of the dirty work that people often don't see, but team mates and managers appreciate.
The value his team mates put on him shouldn't be under-estimated either. I get the impression he's a genuine changing room character.
Now you might read all this and wonder why I'm praising someone who isn't holding down a place in the first team. Fair enough, but I think that's the main reason why I'm positive about him. We've seen already this season that Saunders has compiled a decent starting eleven, capable of sustaining a position near the top of the table. Now we're seeing that he also has a good squad; there are back-up players at his disposal who, when injuries, suspension or loss of form kick in, are more than capable of stepping up to the play.
Teams like AFC Wimbledon are flying high, but they know their squads are thin and a congested fixture list could hurt them. whereas the cover we've got in most positions means we probably don't have to fear that eventuality quite as much. The sound recruitment Saunders carried out in the Summer is now bearing fruit.

The local pool versus the beach: which one is more fun?
The ultimate battle: the pool versus the beach. We put the local pool up against nature's pool to see which comes out on top for fun!
Let me tell you a little secret.... I don't really like summer. In fact, my favourite season is winter! It's just that summer is so....HOT! Thank goodness there are some fun ways to keep cool through the long, hot Aussie summer. We have AMAZING beaches and swimming pools to choose from. Sure, it can seem like a chore to pack all the gear and get organised to go, but once you're there you don't want to leave. The cool water, happy, splashing kids and relief from the heat is well worth it.
So which is better? The local swimming pool or the beach? The battle is on!
Swimming pool fun
I have so many fond memories from my childhood swimming pool days. We had access to a local social club pool and my siblings and I would dive, do tricks, splash and play games until our fingers looked like prunes. Here are some awesome reasons to get to your local swimming pool with the family:
1. Pool games
Kids love playing games at swimming pools. There are classic games like diving for treasures, sharks and minnows and Marco Polo, plus many more games that kids make up themselves.
2. Water slides!
Water slides have come a long way since I was a kid. They're bigger, better and faster than ever. Big kids will spend all day on the water slides, given the chance. Little ones love small slides too.
3. Fun in any weather
If it's burning hot or raining and windy, the local indoor pool is a place to escape from mother nature on her grumpy days and still have some awesome fun.
4. Daring dives
Many local pools have diving boards and platforms to try your stunts. Whether it's the little one metre spring board or the 3 metre platform (yikes!!) diving is fun for the little dare devils in every family.
5. Aquatic parks
Lots of swimming centres have aquatic parks these days. These super fun water play grounds have water spraying, spouting, falling, dripping, pouring and sliding from every which way. Stand back and watch as kids shriek and play or get in there an enjoy the fun too!
Beat boredom at the beach
The beach is one of nature's greatest gifts and gives endless opportunities for family fun. Most of my childhood memories from the beach involve food (ice cream, fish and chips?!) but here are some more reasons to hit the beach with the family this summer:
1. Building sand castles
It's amazing what you can create with just a little sand and a few found treasures on the beach. The process of filling buckets, scooping damp sand and shaping masterpieces is so relaxing and keeps kids happy for hours.
2. Beach games
Kids love inventing games to play at the beach. Take a few toys along to inspire them, like buckets, spades, balls, and paper cups and see what they come up with. Or try some old favourites like stuck in the mud, chasey, frisbee and volleyball.
3. Walk on the jetty
Every good Aussie beach has a cracking jetty. Wander along to enjoy the beach experience, people watching, nature spotting and even try a bit of fishing. I highly recommend taking an ice cream along the way.
4. Investigate nature
Spot fish in the water, look for interesting shells, search the shore for sea glass and discover rock pools. There are so many critters and collections to see at the beach.
5. Sand messages
What kid doesn't remember writing their name, drawing love hearts, playing noughts and crosses or pressing their footprints into the sand? Then watching as the waves lapped in and washed it all away, only to start all over again.
So, the local pool versus the beach - which one is more fun? Answer: They both are!!

My soft hair wheaten terrier drinks his water too fast and throws up what can I do?
Dear Sara,
You could try using a smaller bowl and leaving a small amount in the bowl. Then refill it often as needed. You could also try adding H2O-IONX in the water bowl to aid hydration. If your dog is more satisfied maybe he will be less prone to gulping. Please let us know how he does.
Best regards,

Brexit: UK's May Rushes To Brussels After Commission Says 'Sufficient Progress' Made
(EurActiv) — Theresa May rushed to Brussels in the early hours of Friday morning (8 December), after the European Commission said all-night divorce talks had made "sufficient progress" to move on to the second phase of Brexit negotiations.
May and Juncker outlined the progress made on the three issues of citizens' rights, the Irish border and the divorce bill, and agreed to move on to talks about the UK's future relationship with the bloc, at a joint press conference at Commission headquarters on Friday morning.
Speculation that a deal had been reached mounted after Juncker's chief of staff Martin Selmayr tweeted a picture of white smoke earlier on Friday morning.
The agreement will be passed on to the European Council and member states will decide whether or not to accept it in time for next week's summit (14-15 December).
"The decision is now in the hands of the 27 heads of state and government," Juncker said. "I am sure they will share our appraisal."
The Commission president welcomed the deal on citizens' rights, saying: "Today we bring back certainty" for EU citizens in the UK. He stressed that the right of EU citizens in the UK – and UK citizens in the EU – to live, work and study would remain the same, and that they would retain the right to family reunification, healthcare and social security.
Under the deal struck, these rights would be protected by UK law, not the European Court of Justice. Read the text of the deal here.
On Ireland, Juncker said he had spoken first with Prime Minister Leo Varadkar then May on Thursday night in a bid to break a deadlock over the wording of a deal on future border arrangements.
"The peace process is a priority," the Commission president said, adding that the EU would continue to support peace and reconciliation on the island.
"The EU27 stand firmly behind Ireland and the peace process," he said.
May also hailed Friday's agreement as "a significant improvement" on the version that was rejected by her Northern Irish coalition partners the Democratic Unionist Party earlier in the week.
She stressed that it had required "give and take on both sides" but that the deal to be put to the European Council was "a hard-won agreement in all our interests".
Juncker highlighted that today's announced breakthrough does not constitute a final deal, but a step along the road: "Let me be clear: we still have a lot of work to do. This is not the withdrawal agreement."

Afghanistan to build first Women's Police Town
KABUL: To encourage more women to join the police force in this deeply conservative and male-dominated society, Afghanistan has launched a housing project for female officers.
Women's Police Town was inaugurated on Monday in Kabul and is funded by international donors, with Canada providing $26 million for its first phase.
It includes construction of 10 apartment buildings, each with 30 units and able to house 300 policewomen and their families in Kabul, the US-led coalition and Afghan officials said.
"This is the first such project for female police in the history of Afghanistan," Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danesh told Arab News on Tuesday.
"It will be expanded to other parts of the country in later stages. The purpose is to encourage women to join the police ranks." The project is due to be completed by 2020.
The proposed complex will be constructed in four phases, and will include an elementary school, child day-care facility, medical clinic, fitness center and community center, officials said. The government will manage and operate the school and day-care facility, they added.
Wounded Taliban undergo for treatment inTajikistan,claims Afghan MP
KABUL:Afghan MP claims that wounded Taliban militants are undergoing medical treatment in hospitals in Tajikistan.
According to VOA, member of Loya Jirga from Kunduz province, Eng. Kamal Sapai, said on Wednesday that Taliban militants who have been wounded in clashes with government forces in Kunduz province are undergoing medical treatment in hospitals in Tajikistan.
Meanwhile, the Tajik authorities deny this statement as absolutely 'unfounded'.
"Information spread by Afghan parliamentarian through the Ashna TV is an egregious lie," Muhammad Ulughkhojayev, a spokesman for the main Border Guard Directorate at the State Committee for National Security (SCNS) of Tajikistan, told media in an interview .
"The Taliban Movement is designated as a terrorist organization and any contacts with it are banned by Tajikistan's legislation," said Ulughkhojayev. "Official Dushanbe has never had any contacts with Taliban and that's the end of it."
Senior Cleric Says Iran 'Fully Determined' To Boost Missile Power
Tehran interim Friday Prayer Leader Ayatolllah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami said the Islamic Republic of Iran is fully determined to upgrade its missile power aimed at "confronting whatever threat posed by Israel", IRNA reports.
Addressing the worshipers at Tehran University, Ayatollah Khatami said "in a world where wolves rule and there is no logic in their behavior, the Islamic Republic should be armed and powerful".
The senior cleric said Iran's military missile might is one of the main components of the country's policy of deterrence.
"We have missiles, we would continue building more missiles and increase their ranges", he added.
The senior cleric further said that the most important principle of Iran's military power is defense through deterrence.
Ayatollah Khatami said Iran would never make atomic bombs, adding that based on a Fatwa issued by Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Iran remains to believe that it should not develop and possess nuclear weapons.

The Morning Download: Public Cloud Migration Picks Up, Challenges Notwithstanding
Good morning, CIOs. Big companies are moving their computing workloads out of the private data center and into the public cloud at an ever-faster pace, but the shift has its challenges, a new report from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. finds. The survey determined that 18% of workloads on average were running in public clouds, with CIOs expecting to increase that share to 34% by the end of 2019.
Goldman analysts said three-year forward expectations for shifting workloads into public clouds have "increased gradually over time" from 14% three years ago, CIO Journal's Angus Loten reports. "While we remain bullish on the overall public cloud opportunity, we see an increasing number of companies confronting the realities and challenges of migrating workloads and re-platforming apps," the Goldman study says.
Goldman also found that CIOs at some of the world's largest firms are easing up a bit on rising information-technology spending plans, which are expected to remain at near-record highs over the second half of the year. The results are based on a June survey of 100 CIOs at big public companies in a range of industries, most with annual revenue of more than $1 billion.

In an era of tech innovation, whispers of declining research productivity. The more transformative the technologies, the longer it takes for them to be embraced by companies and industries across the economy. We're still in a long in-between period, where multiple, overlapping technologies are continuing to emerge, writes CIO Journal Columnist Irving Wladawsky-Berger. Their full deployment is still ahead of us.
Mueller probe indicts 12 Russians. Days before President Trump's one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the office of special counsel Robert Mueller on Friday indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for hacking into the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. The WSJ's Aruna Viswanatha and Sadie Gurman have more.
Bitcoin's role. Russian spies funded some of their U.S. efforts, including registering a website hosting stolen materials, with bitcoin, according to the indictment. The New York Times has more on the challenges posed to intelligence efforts by cryptocurrencies.
Why cryptocurrency exchanges are getting hacked. Unlike stock exchanges, which facilitate trading but don't actually hold securities on behalf of investors, many cryptocurrency exchanges charge fees for trading and store currencies for their customers. Analysts tell the Journal's Steven Russolillo and Eun-Young Jeong that the setup makes cryptocurrency exchanges especially vulnerable.
Like sitting ducks. Since 2011, there have been 56 cyberattacks directed at cryptocurrency exchanges, initial coin offerings and other digital-currency platforms around the world, bringing the total of hacking-related losses to $1.63 billion.
The problem with innovation. While top companies are getting more productive, gains are stalling for everyone else, the WSJ's Jason Douglas, Jon Sindreu and Georgi Kantchev report. And the gap between the two sectors is widening, with globalization and new technology delivering outsize rewards to the titans of the global economy.
More scale, more tech, more scale, etc.. Scale makes it possible to experiment with advanced technology that is out of reach for many companies, says the WSJ. For example, early adopters of artificial intelligence may already have gained "an insurmountable advantage" in earnings over competitors who have yet to take the plunge, according to a McKinsey Global Institute report, published in April,.
Laggards are falling. The most productive 5% of manufacturers increased their productivity by 33% between 2001 and 2013, while productivity leaders in services boosted theirs by 44%. Over the same period, all other manufacturers managed to improve productivity by only 7%, while other service providers recorded only a 5% increase.
Patent protection. Bigger firms are better at protecting their technological advantages by patenting them. Only 25 companies accounted for half of all tech-related patents filed with the European Patents Office between 2011 and 2016.
Tech companies encourage miners to test greener ways to dig. Alcoa Corp. had spent nearly a decade at a site near Pittsburgh testing technology that would release oxygen instead of carbon dioxide during the smelting process when it was approached by Apple Inc.
Marketing a greener iMac. "An iMac has more than half a pound of aluminum in it, so they are really interested in supporting advancement of technologies that allow them to reduce the footprint of their product," Vincent Christ, chief executive of the Rio Tinto PLC and Alcoa joint venture Elysis, tells the Journal's Rhiannon Hoyle.
Microsoft exec calls on government to regulate facial-recognition technology. "The only effective way to manage the use of technology by a government is for the government proactively to manage this use itself," Microsoft Corp. President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith wrote in a blog post Friday. Like rivals Facebook Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google, the company has developed its own facial-recognition technology, says the Journal's Jay Greene.
Commerce lifts ban on U.S. suppliers selling to Chinese firm ZTE. The Journal's Kate O'Keefe reports that telecom giant can resume business with its U.S. suppliers after meeting the conditions of a deal President Trump made to save the company.
The open office under attack. Ars Technica reports on a new study revealing dramatic drops in face-to-face interaction time and productivity at two Fortune 500 companies that moved from traditional office layouts to an open floor plan.
Elon Musk lashes out at Thai cave diver. The billionaire is using Twitter to deliver personal attacks against a British diver who helped rescue boys trapped in a cave in Thailand, the Guardian reports.
