It is my honour to inform you of my new e-book which has been published this week online at Kindle Select for the very reasonable price of $14.51/£9/10 Euros.
With a foreword by General Sir David Richards until 2012 the Chief of the British Defence Staff the book considers five key issues: the world Britain faces in the twenty-first century; Britain's role and ambition in Europe and the wider world; how Britain should defines its national interests and secure them; how best to organise and apply British national power through innovative national strategy; and the role of Britain armed forces in national strategy.
Although the book is about Britain the dilemmas, strategies, choices and options the book considers are pertinent to the US, all European states and indeed democracies the world over. The strategic choices Britain makes over the next decade will also have a profound effect on the institutions vital to British influence, most notably the EU, NATO and UN.
The message of the book is stark: after a bruising decade of strategic failure and economic crisis Britain's decline is today rapid and accelerating. However, crisis is becoming an alibi for the political class with much of that decline is driven by a loss of strategic vision and will at the very top of government.
With proper leadership, a concept of national power invested in sound national strategy built on political realism Britain can remain a potent international actor with the influence to shape events rather than await their harsh judgements. Britain's elite must show strategic leadership that has too often been lacking of late as declinism and short-termism has led to the deliberate confusing of politics with strategy by the political class.
Britain's exaggerated decline is hidden by the political metaphors of a political class that has retreated from pragmatism into dogma. Many on the political Left champion the EU because they no longer believe Britain should compete as an independent nation-state. Many on the political Right are dogmatically wedded to small government cutting the very tools of influence to the point of impotence. The result is that the cost of influence increases and in so doings undermines the security and interests of the British people.
The specific focus of the book is Britain's future defence strategy, the bedrock upon which all forms of credible national power and influence are built. The book calls for a radical change in both the organisation and structure of the British armed forces so as to better prepare them for future challenges in a future operating environment that will undoubtedly test Britain and its people in an age of hyper-competition.
Britain must compete for influence and to secure its national interests. Therefore, the book concludes by suggesting a British strategy built on four sets of critical relationships all of which demand Britain invests policy with power:
1. A close strategic relationship with the US to help keep the Americans engaged in European security and defence by demonstrating to Washington that Britain is prepared to 'lead' Europeans in serious defence investment. This will help ease American over-stretch by keeping the US strong where it needs to be strong through an equitable sharing of burdens;
2. The establishment of a Euro-strategic partnership with Germany that recognises Berlin's 'strategic' role in European economic and political stability in return for Berlin recognising British and French leadership of Europe's military effort. France will resent German leadership and further resent any relationship between London and Berlin that might appear to eclipse the Franco-German axis. London will need to work hard to overcome French suspicions and German indifference;
3. The development of a stable Franco-British strategic defence partnership with a particular emphasis on a joint effort by London and Paris to improve and increase European expeditionary military capabilities; and
4. The re-establishment of strategic relationships with the English-speaking Commonwealth (Australia, Canada, Nigeria, India and others) lost when Britain joined the EU, as well as wider relationships with states such as Japan to reinforce a Congress of Democracies central to new worldwide security web.
The book is relevant to all those interested in strategy, policy and the decline of the West and I have chosen to publish online to make the book affordable and accessible. These days the social media is the best channel for independent strategic thought which I believe is vitally needed not just for Britain but the wider West. I would be honoured if you would read my work and recommend it to colleagues and friends.
Britain's leaders today suffer from the same delusion as the rest of Europe; they want to play soft power chess whilst the rest of the world wants to play hard power poker.
The book can be downloaded at Amazon Kindle Select: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNNV1H8 For those with iPads there is a Kindle app that can also be downloaded.

Thank god for Twitter!
Director Bryan Singer has gone to Twitter to share with fans an inside peak at the early production from the next film. X-Men: Days of Future past is scheduled to be released in July 2014. Out of all the pictures my favorite has to be Jennifer Lawrence getting some blue makeup for her role as Mystique. Jennifer is one of the most sought after actresses in the world now due to her oscar in Silver Lining Playbook and her dual blockbusters in the X-men and Hunger Games franchises.
The film will be released by 20th Century Fox and has quite the cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian Mckellan, Nicholas Hoult, James McAvoy, Anna Paquin, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart and Ellen Page.

In case you need further evidence that mankind is doing a remarkable job of destroying the planet, consider this: If we continue our ways, the world's oceans will soon be home to more plastic than fish.
That's according to a new report from the World Economic Forum and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
"The best research currently available estimates that there are over 150 million tonnes (165 million tons) of plastics in the ocean today," the report reads. "In a business-as-usual scenario, the ocean is expected to contain 1 tonne (1.1 tons) of plastic for every 3 tonnes of fish by 2025, and by 2050, more plastics than fish (by weight)."
In other words, in just 34 years, plastic trash in the ocean will outweigh all the fish in the sea.
The study describes plastics as the "ubiquitous workhorse material of the modern economy" and finds that after a short first-use cycle, 95 percent of plastic packaging material value, or $80 billion to $120 billion annually, is lost to the economy.
At least 8 million tonnes of plastics -- equivalent to one garbage truck every minute -- leak into the ocean each year, according to the World Economic Forum.
The 36-page report, "The New Plastics Economy: Rethinking the future of plastics," also offers hope.
By redesigning materials and developing new technologies, the research shows it is possible to eradicate plastic waste.
Achieving such systemic change, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation said in a statement, will "require major collaboration," including from consumer goods companies, plastics manufacturers, businesses involved in collection and recycling and policymakers.
"This report demonstrates the importance of triggering a revolution in the plastics industrial ecosystem," Dominic Waughray of the World Economic Forum said in a statement, "and is a first step to showing how to transform the way plastics move through our economy."
Today, only 14 percent of plastic packaging is collected for recycling, according to the World Economic Forum. In comparison, the global recycling rate for paper is 58 percent, while that of iron and steel is 70 percent to 90 percent.
Clearly, there's room for improvement.

SynopsisGiving true love a spin . . .
Michelin Moses is a country music star on the rise. With a hit single under his Texas-sized belt buckle and a sold-out concert tour underway, his childhood dreams of making it big are finally coming true. But there's one thing missing—a promise to his dying mother that he'd find it—him—when the time was right. With a little luck, he won't have to wait too long . . .
Lucky Ramirez is a hunky boy toy who dances at The Broom Closet, one of West Hollywood's hottest gay bars. He loves what he does, and he's good at it—almost as good as he is at playing dumb when he spots Michelin Moses at the bar. What happens next is off the charts—and keeps Michelin coming back for more. He's just not sure it's the right move for his career. But if Lucky gets his way, Michelin will get Lucky—and no matter how the media spins it, neither of them will be faking it . . .
Exclusive Excerpt!
Thanks for having me! In this exclusive excerpt, I thought you might enjoy a sneak peek at the first kiss of my heroes. When country music superstar Michelin Moses meets a gogo dancer named Lucky in football pants, sparks fly and Michelin's ironclad rules for himself fall by the wayside…
Man, Lucky had nice eyes. And they were right there, inches from Michelin's own. Not blinking. Not breaking contact. Just holding there, a million questions in those brown depths. Hand Michelin a guitar and he could come up with a hundred descriptors for the amber and honey flecks in the chocolaty depths of Lucky's irises, but here in this stuffy room, without his music, Michelin was left mute.
"I better get back." Lucky's voice was just a hair above a whisper, and his breath ghosted over Michelin's cheek. He was close enough that Michelin could feel the warmth from his bare chest, mere centimeters separating them now.
Michelin turned slightly, leaning into the sensation because it had been so long since someone had been this close, since he'd felt the crackle of anticipation.
"Yeah," Michelin tried to say, but his mouth opened against Lucky's skin and then they were kissing. It had been forever since he'd been kissed, even a relatively chaste kiss like this tentative exploration. And f*ck, that made it even better—it was the slow, gentle slide of two mouths getting acquainted. Lucky laughed against Michelin's mouth, and he tasted like surprise. Michelin laughed too because this was so damn unexpected.
And nice.
Really, really nice.
Michelin licked at the seam of Lucky's lips, and damn, he must have done something right because Lucky growled at him and deepened the kiss, pushing Michelin against the lockers. This was every bit as potent as all Michelin's Juan Sosa football fantasies—him shoving Michelin around in the locker room, taking whatever the f*ck he wanted from Michelin's mouth, football pants rubbing against Michelin's jeans, so close that Michelin could feel his erection and the crisscross of the laces.
No, this was better than any fantasy, because Lucky was right here, sucking on Michelin's lips hard before f*cking him with an agile tongue that had Michelin desperate with a sort of need he tried never to let himself feel.
His hips moved unconsciously, seeking Lucky's, and then Lucky was moving those hips like he had on stage, thrusting against Michelin with the sort of practiced precision and fluid grace that had Michelin gasping against his mouth. His hat fluttered to the floor as Lucky's hands clutched at him, but Michelin didn't f*cking care one bit.

Carra's Review
One of the things I love about this author is her writing style. Her books flow so well, and each time I pick one up I find myself losing track of the time as I read. All Note Long is no different, and once again I found myself totally absorbed in an Annabeth Albert book.
Michelin is a very closeted country singing star thanks to his record label, and he's always having to put up a front for others so they won't find out about him. Lucky is a fiercely independent aspiring dancer who is out and comfortable with who he is as he struggles to make it to the professional dancer level. The two of them complement each other, and at first meet they seem to have an immediate attraction. But when they're found out and things go public, the fire between them goes back to a simmer for a bit as they dance around each other during their arrangement as a pseudo-couple for the public. With the chemistry they have though, things don't stay that way for long.
There's plenty of things to stir up drama-not the least of which is Michelin being gay in a music genre not known for gay performers-and with fans, radio stations and a label not quite as supportive as the rest of the industry. Michelin doesn't want to rock that boat too much, but he also doesn't want to give up what he's started with Lucky now that he's had a taste-and Lucky doesn't want to be hidden. There's no shortage of angst in the story-especially the more things heat up between the two of them-and I was constantly hoping Michelin would break from his label's stifling influence.
I liked the way each chapter started with social media posts from different sources in their world, and getting to see the affect of social media on how things played out in the story. And while I wasn't necessarily a fan of the way things started out so hot between Michelin and Lucky when they first meet and then went backward so quickly with the way Michelin reacted and things played out after his outing, it actually allowed for a relationship to build between them more gradually instead of just being a lust-filled pairing (although there's plenty of heat to be found!).
Even though this book is the third in the Perfect Harmony series, it can definitely be read as a standalone. It was a really great read and gets 4 solid stars from me. I'd recommend this to M/M romance fans 18+ for adult language and M/M sexual content...and if you're a fan of stories set in the music world, this book will tick that box for you as well.
A copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Annabeth Albert grew up sneaking romance novels under the bed covers. Now, she devours all subgenres of romance out in the open—no flashlights required! When she's not adding to her keeper shelf, she's a multi-published Pacific Northwest romance writer.
Meet the Author
Emotionally complex, sexy, and funny stories are her favorites both to read and to write. Annabeth loves finding happy endings for a variety of pairings and is a passionate gay rights supporter. In between searching out dark heroes to redeem, she works a rewarding day job and wrangles two children.

12:50 AM: Now Allan Mayer says: "I resigned the UA account on July 15. Since then, I have been representing Paula Wagner personally." However, I'm hearing 42West never told MGM/UA told about this incredible conflict of interest, especially considering how it played out this week. (See below for the full story.)
12:30 AM UPDATE: Now Allan Mayer is claiming on the record that there's no way MGM/UA could fire him, as he resigned the UA account a month ago. He provides as proof this email he sent:
From: Allan Mayer
Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 4:58 PM
To: Elliot Kleinberg
Subject: Our engagement with UA
Dear Eliot:
Per Paragraph 3 of our engagement agreement, I am hereby notifying you that 42West has decided to withdraw from its ongoing assignment as communications consultant to United Artists. We appreciated the opportunity to help get the studio launched, and we wish you the best of luck in the future.
Allan Mayer
Just one problem with this news: That's not what he said Monday or Wednesday when I repeatedly asked him whom he was representing in the MGM/UA/Paula Wagner story since he had very deliberately inserted himself into the dialogue with Hollywood journalists reporting on it. And Mayer, reluctant at first, finally said he repped UA and Paula. But he failed to tell me that he had resigned the UA account and was now flacking for just Paula. (Mayer just apologized to me for that.) MGM/UA also tells me that Mayer is still getting paid.
But here's the bigger PR issue: Mayer has potentially threatened 42West's profitable PR-client relationship with MGM. As an MGM/UA insider tells me: "MGM is one of 42West's biggest accounts and functions day-to-day almost as MGM's East Coast office. And partner Amanda Lundberg and her team handle the majority of MGM's theatrical publicity release campaigns. Yet Allan is spending his time bashing the company. How can 42West justify that this guy down the hall is doing this?"
11:30 AM: It's all well and good to try to spin Hollywood reporters against MGM on the Paula Wagner-out-at-UA story (successfully with Los Angeles Times' Patrick Goldstein, unsuccessfully with Hollywood business journalists like myself whose stories were far more complex and balanced), but the entertainment flackmeister doing it might first want to look at who's paying a goodly portion of his company's PR bill. I'm told 42West's head of strategic communications Allan Mayer is in a heap of trouble at MGM/UA and is about to lose his gig as outside corporate mouthpiece for UA now that Paula Wagner is no longer in charge. Mayer is acting all tough guy about it, telling people that it's not true he's about to be fired, because he and 42West resigned the account a month ago, and that's a matter of record, and anybody who suggested otherwise is on dangerous legal ground. To which one insider just told me, "As the day goes by, we'll see where that legal ground is…" But it may not be very strategic for a flack to threaten to go all legally postal on a Hollywood studio in these tightfisted times. I'd love to detail all the attempts to spin me like a top on the MGM/UA/Wagner story, but I agreed it was all off the record. On the other hand, I can't help but wonder why there's not some memo floating around the Los Angeles Times to be wary of Mayer's 42West division which was responsible for one of that newspaper's worst internal scandals — Grazergate.

We know. It goes against our natural instincts of keeping all things delicious and wonderful to ourselves. Except, at Tapas Rev, we're kind of revolutionary (and humble), so we're here to teach you The Art of Tapas: Sharing Etiquette 101.
Unlike your university days, we encourage you to settle in for your new education with cool glass of Sangria and a pitcher by your side.
Rule No. 1
Get ballsy. Now isn't the time to be intimidated by the menu. Order boldly and mispronounce names with your friends. We love when our revellers embrace their Spanish side.
Rule No. 2
Try something new! The whole point of tapas sharing plates is the fact that everyone gets to taste a little bit of something new. Make sure to get a plate of your favourite dish, Croquetas de jamon obviously, but also snap up a bite of your pals Arroz negro. Black rice with prawns and squid anyone? It might just become your new go-to tapas order. Thank your mates.
Rule No. 3
Order more than you think you need. Are your eyes bigger than your stomach? Not when it comes to tapas my friend. We recommend getting at least five to six dishes to start and share with your table. Remember, at Tapas Revolution the meal certainly doesn't end when you finish your first plate.
Rule No. 4
Tapas is best appreciated when you split a pitcher of our famous Sangria, don't you think? If Sangria doesn't tickle your fancy, we say go for the Cava. Cheers to that!
Rule No. 5
HAVE FUN. Enjoying tapas isn't about following the rules; it's about getting stuck in, eating delicious food and having an incredible experience with friends, partners and family. What more could you want?
We're not just a restaurant after all, we're a Tapas Revolution.

Here's what you'll need...
1 carton (32-oz) of broth (vegetable or chicken)
1 egg beaten
salt and pepper
1/2-cup of milk
1/2 stick (4-Tbs) of butter
1/2-cup of flour
1/4-cup of yellow cornmeal
1 egg beaten
salt & pepper
- Heat up the broth to a boil. Season with salt & pepper.
- While the broth is heating up, heat the milk and butter to a boil in a separate small saucepan.
- Once the milk/butter boils, remove from heat and add the flour, cornmeal, salt & pepper and mix well. Add the egg and mix well. Set aside.
- Once the broth is boiling, take a fork or whisk and slowly pour the egg into the soup. Use the fork or whisk to break up the egg. Looks just like egg drop soup.
- Add spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture (about 6-8).
- Cover and reduce heat to simmer for about 10 minutes or until the dumplings float to the top.

By: Mir M.Hosseini
Maziar was the ruler of Mazandaran province from Espahbodan family. Mazandaran was probably the only state in Iran that the Caliphates could not fully take under control because of dense forests and patriotic residents. However, his brother Koohyar was deceived by the Caliph spies and took him to Maziar's hiding where he was arrested and taken to the Caliph Motasem in Samara. There he was tortured and executed and like his fellow fighter Babak Khorramdin was hung by the city entrance. Motasem had previously recognized Mazandaran as an autonomous state. This was his policy to trick freedom fighters into negotiations and killing them. The uprisings of Maziar, Afshin, and Babak, though suppressed by the Caliph, revived Iranian national dignity and paved way for Booyeh family who were sons of a fisherman to rise and conquer Baghdad in 945.

The Australian Open Disclosure Framework (the OD Framework) was endorsed by the Commission in March 2013.
The OD Framework replaces the former Open Disclosure Standard (the OD Standard), which was released in 2003 and was the first nation-wide open disclosure policy in the world.
A review of the OD Standard in 2011/12 preceded development of the OD Framework.
The OD Framework is designed to enable health service organisations and clinicians to communicate openly with patients when health care does not go to plan. It provides a nationally consistent basis for open disclosure in Australian health care.

My first entry into the prize drawing is the Swallowtail shawl. I cast on for this in February 2009, and finished it just the other day. I can hardly believe that this baby has been on the needles for over 4 years! Feels soo good to have it finished.
I'm really not sure why this one took soo long. I'd go through periods where focus on knitting this... lace knitting for me is the perfect way to destress - I literally sit down in a quiet room away from all distractions and focus on the pattern. But then, after a bit of attention, I would put it away and forget about it. I was happy to have a nudge to pull this project out and finish it up.
This colour is soo pretty and think that the subtle shifts in tone don't detract too much from the lace pattern. If I had a do-over, I would have added more repeats of the leaf pattern. The shaw is a reasonable size, but I would have preferred a little larger. (I blocked this to it's max :))
- Pattern: Swallowtail shawl by Evelyn A. Clark (available as a free ravelry download)
- Yarn: Curious Creek Fibers Meru, colorway is Emerald City
- Needles: US 3
- Mods: None
Hopefully this is the first of a couple of projects that I finish in the next couple of months.
What do you have on the needles?
Have a great weekend.

Thoughts on Perfection…September 28th, 2010 by Jane
Brenè Brown is staging a prostest. Now, I don't know Brenè personally, but I've seen her speak, read her books, I'm devoted to her blog, and would sign up if she's ever in the market for a new BFF! So, when she decides to start a movement-I'm all in.
She is protesting perfection. If you are compelled to make sure every detail in your life looks like a magazine spread, to not let the cracks show, to "never let 'em see you sweat," then this movement is for you. Not interested, you say? Well, most of us aren't and we have a pretty good reason for hanging on to our sense of perfection. Brenè believes that we use it as a shield to cover up, disconnect and ultimately hide our vulnerabilities, effectively masking our authentic selves.
Her work as a researcher at the University of Houston is centered on shame-something most people don't want to think about. She has figured out a few things in her years of study that can help all of us. Such as, it takes courage to be your authentic self. Shame cannot survive empathy. And, empathy and compassion toward yourself can be the most courageous, liberating thing you do. And everyone, yes, everyone craves connection.
Perfection is a stumbling block to connection, creativity, authenticity, compassion and love. Because if you can't love your perfectly imperfect self, how can you love another imperfectly perfect, goofy soul?
My favorite line from the summer movie Inception, occurs when Leonardo di Caprio's character tells his wife that he could never have dreamed "the complexity of you with all of your perfections and imperfections."
Can we look at our beloveds as complex and perfectly imperfect? Can we look at ourselves that way? Join the movement.

Bacon is my ingredient of the day as I had some particularly nice, lightly smoked bacon and I really didn't just want to grill it. So the yummy scrummy rolls that you see below are the things that I came up with.
Cooking the bacon this way made it into a substantial meal and while I was eating them, I decided that they would make a really tasty starter. I do, however, think that one per person is enough as they are really filling.
The bacon that I used was thickly sliced. Too thin and it will fall apart.
To make the stuffing
100g finely chopped mushrooms. Let me tell you, that the Magimix could have been invented just for this.
1 Medium Onion, finely chopped.
125g of fresh white breadcrumbs (ideally, these are best if the bread is a day or two old)
100g Butter
4 tablespoons of fresh parsely, fairly finely chopped
Grated zest of a lemon
1 egg
Pepper, but go easy on the salt as the bacon is usually salty.
To make the stuffing
Fry the onion in half the butter until lightly brown.
Fry the mushrooms in the remaining butter until dry. Add the onions and mushrooms to the the remaining ingredients and mix together well.
Divide the mixture between the bacon and roll the bacon up with the seam underneath.
Bake in a hot oven until brown.
Serve with a mixed salad and enjoy.

Early buyers will receive 10% customization on reports.
It is projected to reach 5,424.9 KT, by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.40% by volume. This growth is fueled by the increasing requirement of plastic pipes in the solar industry, and the low cost, easy installation, and flexibility of cross-linked polyethylene over traditional materials, and the significant growth in the automotive industry.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE): The largest cross-linked polyethylene market, by agent
The market for high density cross-linked polyethylene is the largest in the global cross-linked polyethylene market followed by low density cross-linked polyethylene. The demand for high density cross-linked polyethylene is mainly driven due to its effective and substantial usage in the production of pipes and tubings in residential and commercial sectors. The high density based cross-linked polyethylene provides high tensile strength due to its intensive cross-linking and is resistant to corrosion, cracks, abrasion, and stress. Low density cross-linked polyethylene is generally used for wires & cables due to the high insulation properties that it imparts.
Plumbing: The largest application market for cross-linked polyethylene
Plumbing is currently the largest application of cross-linked polyethylene. Cross-linked polyethylene is largely used in the construction of sewer systems and water transmission systems. Steady growth in construction spending and the numerous water infrastructure projects being undertaken in emerging countries are also expected to drive market growth
Asia-Pacific: The largest market for cross-linked polyethylene
The Asia-Pacific region was the largest market for cross-linked polyethylene, in terms of value and volume, in 2015. Steady growth in the construction spending in emerging countries such as, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand, increased investments in industrial and public infrastructure and the use of HDPE pipes in natural gas distribution are the key factors driving the Asia-Pacific region market.

Great Vehicle and Value
By Magna42 on Monday, December 04, 2017I own a 2017 and prior to this vehicle I owned a 2012. I would still have the 2012 if it waasnt totaled. As pleasant as the 2012 was the 2017 is much better. More equipment, but a few strange ommissions/changes (relatively minor). The 2017 is head and shoulder quieter than the previous mode. The steering though is little vague, though I understand that theres a firmware fix for that. All in all I am pleased with the Optima and would buy another if the need arose.

This is the only car that had everything I wanted
By Larry on Saturday, October 21, 2017With the SXL trim, its the Audi A6 for smart people. All the features I wanted. European ride - check, ample power-check, high tech goodies-check, reliable brand - check, dealers willing to deal - check, good on gas - check, regular unleaded- check, looks great - check, 10 year power train, FIVE YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER!! (who does that?) Kia just tries harder, copying the best of every other brand. I shop from brands that try harder. Why be a sucker?

Value, value, value
By Jimmy D. on Thursday, April 21, 2016As we searched the landscape for a mid-sized sedan, we tested the Sonata,Fusion, Camry and Accord and found the 2016 Kia LX to be the best "bang for the buck" product. Kia has tweaked the suspension to give the Optima a ride similar to the type you would experience in the premium priced sedans. It is very quiet and handles well. We opted for the "convenience package" which includes blind spot sensors, back-up assist and a twelve-way drivers side seat with memory. Having owned a Camry and several Accords this car surprised us. Very well-built and solid all the way around. The 2.4 liter four has plenty of zip and with three driving modes included it's a fun drive. Rated at 39 mpg on the highway and with less than 1000 miles on it I got 38 mpg on a recent all highway drive. The seats are comfortable and the cockpit is spacious. Several people have commented that it seems like a full-sized car on the inside.

Jack Martin is the Global Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hill+Knowlton Strategies, a strategic communications firm with 87 offices in 49 countries. H+K clients constitute over half of the Fortune Global 500 list.
Martin epitomizes Hill+Knowlton's commitment to providing trusted advice and expertise at the highest corporate levels by maintaining an active role in client service, and personally managing communications for leaders at some of the world's largest corporations.
Martin pioneered a new model in business advisory consulting, trademarked as the "Fifth Seat." This philosophy focuses on the importance of public trust to a company's corporate success. It holds that because the public has access to more information than ever before, and less need for intermediate institutions, companies should devote the same C-suite attention to their interactions with the public that they do to concerns regarding law, banking, management consulting and accounting. Before assuming his current role, Martin served as founding chairman of Public Strategies, Inc., which was acquired by London-based WPP in 2006.
Since 2011 Martin has consistently been named annually to PRWeek's Power List, a ranking of the 50 most influential figures in the field of communications. In 2014, Martin was inducted into the PR News Hall of Fame as a "pioneer in public relations" who has left a "lasting mark" on the industry.
Martin, a 5th generation Texan, has a long history in politics and civic engagement. He was a student leader at Southwest Texas State in San Marcos in the early 1970s where he served as the chairman of the student Senate. During that time Martin began his political activity in numerous local races in the San Marcos area. He was subsequently elected President of the Texas Students Association, a statewide leadership group of student body presidents from Texas colleges and universities. In 1991, Martin was named a Distinguished Alumni from Southwest Texas State University.
His long time association with U.S. Senator Lloyd Bentsen, which began in 1975, markedly shaped Martin's career. He served as Senator Bentsen's executive assistant in the U.S. Senate and campaign manager of two of his two last re-election campaigns. Martin pioneered cutting-edge campaign techniques that resulted in record-setting outcomes in both of Bentsen's re-election campaigns.
In 1989, Martin served as senior advisor to the Democratic National Committee and U.S. Senate Democratic Committee. In 1990, Martin was the primary consultant for Ann Richards' successful race for Texas governor and for Bob Bullock's successful campaign for Texas Lt. Governor. Martin was Chairman of Governor-elect Ann Richards' Transition Committee. In 1994, Governor-elect George W. Bush and Lt. Governor Bob Bullock appointed Martin Co-Chair of the Texas Inaugural Committee.
Martin's commitment to public service extends far beyond politics. In 2010, Martin was honored by the prestigious Center for Public Policy Priorities for his lifelong civic leadership. Martin was previously chairman of Texas State University System's Board of Regents, and has been on the boards of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. He currently serves on the boards of Baylor College of Medicine and Baylor Scott & White Health. In his career, he has received gubernatorial appointments to positions in public service from four Texas governors from both sides of the aisle.
Jack is married to Patsy Woods Martin. The Martins actively carry on the grand Texas ranching traditions that have been a part of both of their families for generations. Their JPM Ranch Company currently owns the Mallard Creek Ranch in Montague, Texas and the Open C Ranch in Forestburg, Texas. They raise Black Angus cattle and Quarter Horses. The Martin's are proud members of the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers, Texas Farm Bureau, and the American Quarter Horse Association.

William Carey once said, "Expect great things; attempt great things".[1] And attempt great things he did! Carey was born August 17, 1761 in Paulerpury, England and went home to be with the Lord June 9, 1834. Carey enthusiastically embraced the Christian faith even going so far as to teach himself New Testament Greek.[2] Later, as a teacher, Carey was intrigued by the stories of Captain Cook's discoveries in the Pacific and it was in these stories that he became convicted of the obligation of the church to preach the gospel to the unreached peoples of the world.[3]
Among his contributions to global missions was Carey having founded the Particular Baptist Society for Propagating the Gospel amongst the Heathen (later shortened to Baptist Missionary Society) setting the missionary example that other denominations would follow.[4] It was Carey's perseverance throughout his life and ministry that many historians, including González, give credence to him being referred to as "the father of modern missions". In his An Inquiry Into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens published in 1792, Carey made rather extensive use of statistical data and plain language to argue his case for the church of his day being engaged in missions.[5] Carey was informed, well organized, and tenacious in his approach.
The founding of a missionary society in his day is important and it being an example to others is certainly noteworthy but Carey's persistence is something we should take note of in our day and age. We know that with God all things are possible yet too often the largest thing our churches dream of is a larger building. Another contribution I have in mind is Carey's willingness to go. After creating the Particular Baptist Society for Propagating the Gospel amongst the Heathen, Carey was unable to find someone to send as a missionary. He packed his bags and family and went to India himself![6] There Carey's perseverance is again displayed as he endures great personal hardships and losses.
A strong argument can be made that his Bible translations were his greatest contribution of the founding of the society that would become a model for others to follow might be it but if Carey had not been willing to answer God's call, the society would not have had the credibility it did nor would the translations likely have been completed. Carey took to heart Matthew 16:15 to go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature: perseverance and the willingness to God where God leads.

Change the dish up by slicing the steaks into strips and serving on toasted ciabatta bread with some avocado.

We are looking forward to meeting you at the 2018 Tent City, October 19th to 21st, at the corner of Love and Compassion. If caring for those on the streets is something you feel called to do, this is the place to do it. If you would like to receive updates on Tent City, sign up here.
Tent City
This is a weekend-long Festival of Compassion that rallies the community's compassion for those who often see none. Businesses, churches, youth groups and schools all donate, volunteer and/or spend the night learning how to serve those who have become our friends. ALL ARE WELCOME!
Conduct a Winter Clothing Drive
Click Here to Register to Volunteer
Click here for Tent City updates on Facebook
Care about homeless veterans? Join others by clicking here to join us again this year
for the Veterans Matter Walk to House our Heroes October 19th, at 6:00 p.m.
Been curious about joining this incredible team? Join us for the planning meetings on September 27th, and October 4th and 18th. All meetings are at 7:00 p.m. at the 3rd floor conference room in the Westgate Building, 3450 W. Central Ave.
Here are 10 Ways to Matter This Fall
Please join us to continue to show the world how our community comes together each year for Tent City!
1. Sign up to Volunteer as a guide, part of a setup or tear-down crew, a meal server, guest or volunteer registration, donation tent and more at Tent City. This hands-on service can change lives: Yours and theirs.
2. Donate food or sponsor a meal for the hundreds who come down to break bread at Tent City. Then join us to break bread.
3. Conduct a targeted clothing drive for men's and women's warm winter clothing, jeans, sweat shirts, hygiene items or backpacks. We ALWAYS have a shortage of larger sizes as well as men's jeans.
4. Help sponsor the Critical Documents (Birth Certificates and IDs) - perhaps the item in highest demand. Without them, people cannot get a job, services, even food or shelter. Last year we were quite limited in capacity. To meet the need this year, we need to raise about $3,500 to buy the birth certificates and IDs for our guests. To help, just select "TC Critical Documents" from the drop down menu on the Sponsorship page.
5. Create a prayer vigil at your church or life group leading up to and during Tent City weekend. Lives are changed!
6. Have your company or group become an underwriter or sponsor of Tent City.
7. Join the Veterans Matter Walk to End Veteran Homelessness. This walk kicks off Tent City and raises money for our Veterans Matter program to house homeless veterans.
8. Help get the word out! Embed the videos on your business, school or church website, Facebook, Twitter and more. Invite Ken or a speaker from the 1Matters Speakers Bureau to help your church, volunteers or group understand the plight of the unhoused, the complexity of living on the streets and what you can expect at Tent City.
9. Bring your student group, church group or life group down to spend the night in order to teach them the harder life lessons only discomfort can teach.
10. Just come down Friday or Saturday night and enjoy the incredible music Pat Lewandowski puts together each year. (We note Pat is the only other person besides the founder who has been to every single day of every single Tent City since 1990!)
We welcome ANY ideas you and/or your group have to matter this year to those who matter. Just tell us. If you have questions or need more info, email us at info at 1matters dot com or just give us a call. We hope to see you there!
Read About Tent City
What is Tent City REALLY like? Here are some behind-the-scenes perspectives of the life-changing impact:
Michele Ross is our friend in the Tent City video above. Kate Giammarise captured her story in this wonderful piece.
Our friend Sarah Ottney accurately penned this story in the Toledo Free Press.
Our friend Tom Henry described it perfectly as "Volunteers connect face-to-face with the homeless through music, coffee and outreach programs from free haircuts to free medical exams."
Want to educate your students? Jenifer Christiaanse brought 18 or so students down to spend the night in order to teach them the harder life lessons only discomfort can teach. To us, the volunteer leaders of Tent City, Jenifer and her group are heroes not only for coming down, but for the commitment to stay when other groups left after the levee breaks.
Whether you are a leader, thinker, doer or donor, we want YOU to help us change the world, 1 at a time. Feel called to help or need more info? You can email us, call us or come to any planning meeting. Every one matters, right?

It's so wrong, so dirty.
I've just been dumped, and I'm sunbathing when the man of the house catches me, topless, and skipping class. Instead of getting mad, though, he's warm and kind and so unbelievably sexy. He's a big time CEO and never spends enough time with me, but he doesn't want me to leave.
He's practically begging me not to go to college, and promises that he'll teach me what a real man's like. The things he does to me…
I must've lost my mind to be doing something so forbidden and taboo, but having him between my legs, raw and without a thing to come between us, I'm in heaven.

It's more than a game. Yeah, yeah, sports fans say that all the time. But it's true in the case of the Cleveland Classic.
At noon Saturday, the football game features Morehouse College against Winston-Salem State University at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Tickets start at $15 and are available through ticketmaster.com.
But the second year of the Classic also rolls out events that celebrate historically black colleges and universities -- not to mention a weekend of parties at Fortress.
At 9 p.m. Friday, Fortress, the Warehouse District club, 1360 West Ninth St., Cleveland, will throw a bash hosted by Browns safety T.J. Ward. DJ Steph Floss and Meel will spin. $20. (Ladies free until midnight.) Saturday, Fortress hosts two bashes. The first runs from 3 to 9 p.m., with DJ Dru and DJ Knyce spinning. (Free from 3 to 4 p.m.; $20 until 9.) Then there's the Cleveland Classic after party, at 9 p.m. ($10; complimentary cocktails 9-11 p.m.)
Call 216-298-4448. For Cleveland Classic information, go to Clevelandsports.org.
Decade of decadence
Summon the fire breather. The kinky queen. The sex kittens and the weird freaks.
Woohoo, it's Kabarett Vulgare.
At 8 p.m. Saturday, the troupe will bring its brand of circus stunts, burlesque routines and vaudeville tricks to the Beachland Ballroom, 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland.
The Pittsburgh-based outfit takes its cue from the Weimar Republic.
No, not the social collapse, economic ruin and political turmoil of 1920s Germany. They're talking about the kinky decadence of Berlin, where people packed clubs to spend their daily wages before hyperinflation rendered them worthless.
The show rolls out performance artists, crazy tricks you wouldn't want to try at home or at work, even the 2012 Pittsburgh Freak of the Year, Miss Macabre Noir. Tickets are $10, advance; $13, day of show. 18 and over. Call 216-383-1124.

Microsoft Warns of Attacks on Unpatched Windows Flaw
Microsoft is warning that hackers are using booby-trapped QuickTime media files to exploit a newly discovered security hole in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems.
Microsoft said it is aware of "limited attacks" against an unpatched vulnerability in a Windows DirectShow component designed to process QuickTime files. The vulnerability is present in those operating systems and can be exploited whether or not users have QuickTime installed.
From a post on the Microsoft's Security Research & Defense blog:
The vulnerability is in the DirectShow platform (quartz.dll). While the vulnerability is NOT in IE or other browsers, a browse-and-get-owned attack vector does exist here via the media playback plug-ins of browsers. The attacker could construct a malicious webpage which uses the media playback plug-ins to playback a malicious QuickTime file to reach the vulnerability in Quartz.dll. Please note this type of attack could happen for any browsers, not IE specific.
There is also a file-based attack vector by opening a malicious QuickTime file via Windows Media Player to trigger the vulnerability.
Redmond says it's working on a patch to plug the hole. In the meantime, affected users have a fairly painless interim fix for this threat. If you're running Windows 2000, XP or Windows Server 2003, visit this link and click the "Fix It" button. That will download a Microsoft installer (.msi) file. Run that, and it should disable the vulnerable component. If you are running Windows under a limited user account, as I often advise, it's easiest to install the fix while logged in as administrator.
According to Microsoft, this is not a threat for later versions of Windows, because the vulnerable code was removed as part of the company's work building Windows Vista. This means that Windows Vista and versions of Windows since Windows Vista (Windows Server 2008, Windows 7) are not vulnerable.

Tired of endless patching? Try Linux, the safe yet no-cost operating system- http://www.ubuntu.com/ or http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download .
Posted by: hairguy01 | June 2, 2009 4:37 PM | Report abuse
Heh. This news is not exactly going to make converts out of people who have long bashed Apple for the somewhat disastrous experience that is QuickTime under the Windows platform...
Posted by: kennedye | June 2, 2009 5:30 PM | Report abuse
It should be noted that the "fix" completely disables 'Quicktime', which is, unfortunately, a necessary component of many video editing and 3D/Graphics animation suites, such as Adobe Premier, etc.
So, if you use any of these types of programs, better forget the fix and beef up your firewall.
For those that don't want to have their system invaded by a load of bulky, memory-snatching firewall programs, I can recommend a simple, free outbound port blocker that simply blocks any sort of malware or trojan from connecting to the internet while at the same time telling you what sort of program is trying to do so.

Crews will finish removing hazardous materials from all of the buildings on site at the Murray CSO Control Facility by August 24. Crews will also continue deconstructing and removing the buildings on the project site, starting from the south end of the site and working north. Crews will use trucks and containers adjacent to the project site to complete demolition activities. Removed materials will exit the area via Lincoln Park Way Southwest. This work will continue through September.
With demolition work in full swing, the project's fencing has been extended to the east curb of Beach Drive Southwest, and . Beach Drive Southwest's eastern sidewalk and parking are closed for the duration of the project. To protect public safety, pedestrians and bicyclists should use the sidewalk on the west side of Beach Drive until the site is cleared in September.
What to expect
- Work hours will be 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
- Access to Beach Drive Southwest will be maintained at all times.
- Lowman Beach Park will remain open.
- Project fencing extending over the sidewalk to the east curb of Beach Drive Southwest to maintain public safety.
- Beach Drive Southwest's western sidewalk remains open for pedestrians and bicyclists .
- Increased noise and activity typical of a construction site.
- Heavy equipment including trucks, excavators, and construction containers operating on and around the project site.
- No parking along the eastern side of Beach Drive Southwest and both sides of Murray Avenue Southwest through the end of September.
- Increased truck traffic on nearby streets.
The existing structures on the Murray CSO Control Facility site must be removed before construction of the new storage facility begins in late 2013. The facility will help protect Puget Sound by storing sewage and polluted stormwater during storms to prevent overflows out of the regional sewer system into the water off of Lowman Beach Park.
For more information: Call the 24-hour project information hotline: 206-205-9185

The Ubuntu Alternative
The Ubuntu 9.04 – An Alternative to Commercially-Available Operating Systems
The latest release of the Ubuntu OS is nicknamed Jaunty Jackalope, and the free software lives up to the playful qualities of its imaginary namesake. A Jackalope is a folkloric animal that is supposed to be a cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope; it has been portrayed as a rabbit with antlers. Like a rabbit, Ubuntu 9.04 runs faster, offering boot speeds as short as 25 seconds and faster access on the majority of laptop, desktop and netbook computers. Other notable features of the new release include improved suspend-and-resume features so that you can immediately access your computer after putting it in sleep mode and broadening the switching between Wi-Fi and 3G, which supports more wireless devices and 3G cards.
The new release also comes bundled with OpenOffice 3.0, which provides users with word processing, spreadsheet and presentations applications that are compatible with Microsoft Office. Another notable application included with Ubuntu 9.04 is the Evolution 2.26.1 e-mail client, which integrates mail, address book and calendaring functions. The new version of Evolution now allows Windows users to directly import Microsoft Outlook files to Evolution, letting you transfer e-mail and contacts to the new application. The new Linux kernel 2.6.28-11.37 also speeds up the performance of your storage drives through better disk performance, improved solid-state drive support and enhanced virtual memory scalability.
The Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition is noteworthy for its inclusion of technologies to make computing more accessible to handicapped users. For the blind, Ubuntu includes Orca technologies to help them use many of its applications. Orca uses a combination of Braille, magnification and speech software to enable sight-impaired users to use the Ubuntu interface and access the Firefox e-mail client, OpenOffice and other applications. The OS also offers slow-key support, which allows the keyboard to be used as a mouse, making this an essential tool for the physically-challenged. The Ubuntu OS can also support a touch-screen keyboard used with pointers.
Will the Ubuntu 9.04 OS entice users away from well-entrenched operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and the Mac OS X? The outlook is promising with the inclusion of the Eucalyptus technology in the Server Edition of the OS. Eucalyptus – which stands for Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs to Useful Systems – is open source, cloud computing technology which allows users to set up storage and create virtual machines online through Amazon's Web Services. The Ubuntu OS can also run well with as little as 384 MB of allocated base memory. And, of course, the price – free – is unbeatable.
If you want to try it, the Ubuntu 9.04 OS is easy to find and install. You can download it online from the Ubuntu website or a host of torrent sites. If you're already using Ubuntu 8.04 you can get an automatic upgrade to the newer edition through the Upgrade Manager tool. You can also get a host of applications for the OS free for download. In short, there is no reason for you not to install the Ubuntu OS on your computer and sample the many features it can offer.
August 30, 2009 at 9:06 am
I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 in my HP 530 Laptop for 3 months now and I have verified that Ubuntu is "killing" my battery…
– The battery discharges when the laptop is off (???)
– The battery monitor reads "1 hour" and it lasts a little bit less
– I had a hard disk issue (the hard disk heads were parking "all the time"…
I have to tell you that I like working with Linux and I didn't have any problem to install, wired/wireless, music, video, but when I compare my laptop with my brother's machine (we have the same machine, but he is still working with other OS), his battery last about twice the time… and we have the applications…
I would appreciate any suggestions… (I have searched the web and there are full reports on the battery issue but no solutions)
Thank you in advance,
Juan Perez

Orca is broken in 9.04.

I was clearing out the garage today when I came across my primary school satchel! Now thirty years old, it's surprisingly pristine. A museum piece in itself, I may do a little blog post about it at some point. However, the best things were inside, my badge collection, oh, yes, this has to be seen to be believed. But I couldn't be bothered to lay it out and photograph it, so that's for the future too. But best of all these really lovely teethers circa 1975 and still in as good as new condition. Fifi is going to be the envy of all her friends…

Defining a Business: A Short Description
A business is an organization which renders services or provides goods to the consumer for a profit. Examples of goods are physical products like clothing sold at Old Navy or McDonald's french fries. Housecleaning and banking are two services.
Suppliers provide products to the businesses who then sell them. When revenue surpasses costs and taxes needed to sustain the activity a profit is made.
Some businesses are state-owned enterprises or privately owned while others are not-for-profit. Amtrak is government-owned while some of the largest private companies include Dell, Mars and Albertsons. Numbered among not-for profit companies are Boys and Girls Clubs of America and American Red Cross.
Types of Ownerships
A few types of business ownerships: sole proprietorship, corporation and partnership. A sole proprietorship is owned by one person and is the most popular type of business in the U.S. A corporation is led by a board of directors as a separate, legal entity which is distinct from it's owners. The rarest form is a partnership which two or more people may operate or own.
There exists plenty of business competition which inspires companies to create better products. This rivalry is considered a positive factor in the business world as it also encourages team spirit and endurance.

National Diabetes Awareness Week July 9th 2017. Are you at risk?
There are over 1 million Australian's with Type 2 diabetes. The week of the 9th July is National Diabetes Awareness week.
The Australian Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Tool was developed to help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
To assess your risk please download the tool by clicking on The Australian Type 2 Risk Assessment Tool or ask one of our staff for a form at the practice.
Complete the form and bring it to your GP to discuss your risk level.
What is Type 2 diabetes?
- It occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreas) or respond well enough to insulin.
- Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease marked by high levels of sugar in your blood.
- You can have type 2 diabetes and not know it because there may be no obvious symptoms.
Risk factors
- Over 40 years of age.
- Lifestyle factors : physical inactivity & poor nutrition.
- Family history
Usually people only present with acute problems when seeing their GP, however, preventative care is a key to keeping you healthy.
General Practice Cremorne (GPC) is committed to ensuring you keep healthy… so whilst the Government wants a healthier nation for 2020 GPC wants to assist you in becoming " a healthier you for 2020."
