"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard for their own interests."
"For me, it's not about the money."
I was talking to a client about how to increase profits dramatically.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I don't want to be greedy and make too much."
"So, how much is too much...?"
I didn't get an answer. I never do. I know that some people (hopefully a small minority) are put off by my constant emphasis on making money. I know that because, as a business coach, I have talked with hundreds of small business owners about profit and have often had conversations like the one above. It's as if the speakers feel guilty about making a profit or that it is somehow noble to loathe money.
I believe most of the comments and feelings were sincere, but they were misguided. They were misguided because that sort of thinking can do great damage not only to their businesses, but also to the wellbeing of others. Great damage that is precisely the opposite of intended virtue.
"If you live the ultimate failure of deriving less profit than possible, you do not win a merit badge for reduction of greed by self-restraint. There is no such merit badge, as the act is without merit."
— Dan S. Kennedy.
"If you live the ultimate failure of deriving less profit than possible, you do not win a merit badge for reduction of greed by self-restraint. There is no such merit badge, as the act is without merit."
Profit is not just a good thing, it is a moral imperative.
It is your duty to yourself and to others to make all the money you can without coercion, lying, cheating or stealing.
I'll say that again so I don't have to repeat it in every section below - without coercion, lying, cheating or stealing.
The graphic below outlines the facts on profit we will be covering in this article.
Earning profit is the objective reason for being in business. How to use the profits is (or should be) up to the person who earned them. We can give them away if we want to. Profit makes it possible to stay in business and to continue to serve through the means we will look at below.
Everybody makes a profit, even those who denounce it loudly. We all know that intuitively, if not explicitly, and we all behave accordingly. If we earn less at our jobs than it cost us to get there, we stop going to work even if we want to. We have to recover our costs in order to pay our way to work, and we have to make a profit to support ourselves outside of work. The same applies to those who don't work but are paid anyway. If it cost us more to pick up a government, retirement or inheritance check than the check is worth, we won't bother to do it. Everybody who is capable must make a profit. Everybody. The alternative is charity, which is to live off of somebody else's profit. What's noble about that?
The word greed conjures up echoes of a common fallacy. The fixed-pie fallacy is the idea that if someone has money, someone else has to do without. The supply of money, wealth and profit does not come from a fixed pie, but rather from an infinite source. The evidence is everywhere around us, and will be the subject of a future article. The fact that we earn a profit does not hinder another person's ability also to make a profit.
"Go to the ocean with a bucket or a teaspoon, The Ocean doesn't care."
Profit is a measure of how much our contributions exceed our consumption. A man who earns large profits, whatever his motives, cannot do so without benefiting others far more than himself. This is true because everybody's expense is somebody else's income. Let me explain.
The average business in the US makes a profit, before taxes, of around 7% of sales, but we'll use 10% to make the math easier. That means that 90¢ of each sales dollar goes to pay expenses, all of which are income to someone else, such as a supplier. The same is true for the supplier's business, 90¢of what is paid to the supplier becomes his expense and somebody else's income. This cycle of so-called "economic impact" continues until it eventually dampens out at five to ten times the original 90¢. That means that in order to generate his 10¢ profit, the original businessman created about $4.50, or forty-five times more, income for other people. If you truly want to benefit the world, go make money!
All of that is before considering that the government takes a nickel from everybody's dime. Taxes mean the original businessman generated the $4.50 in pursuit of only 5¢, which means he in fact benefits others 90 times more than himself!
Profit is validation that we have served our customers, ourselves and society in general. We cannot make a profit unless our customers choose to do business with us. They will not choose to do business with us unless they value our offer more than they value their money.
Businesses that make "too much money" attract competition. Competition drives down prices and increases innovation, options, quality, and availability of product. In fact, keeping prices artificially low to defend against competition is in many situations against the law! Competitive innovation also forces obsolescence which directs resources to new, more productive and valuable uses.
Finally (finally for this discussion anyway), if we don't make it, we can't give it away. Whatever our subjective motives for being in business, we have no capacity to fulfill them unless we make a profit. Even the most altruistic among us must do well in order to do good.
How about you? Have you felt twinges of guilt or uncertainty about the morality of profit? If not, have you ever had to defend the idea of profit? Did this article help? I'd like to hear your thoughts and reactions in the comment box below.

Every company negotiates if they want you bad enough. A computer science graduate that I worked with received offers of $60K in the San Francisco Bay Area and an offer of $54K in Folsom at Intel Corporation. Intel initially told him the offer was not negotiable, but when he started his negotiations he shared the info on the other offers he had received and Intel immediately matched them. The more offers you have the better. In other words, you can use higher salary offers to leverage offers where the job description or location might be more attractive but the offer is lower. Although the San Francisco area is a higher cost of living area employers in surrounding areas compete for talent and must offer salaries that are competitive.
You can be a lot more flexible with your salary demands if you live in an area with a lower cost of living. In such an area, you can't necessarily expect as much, but you won't actually need as much. A good source for cost of living information is the "Places Rated Almanac" by Savageau and Boyer. You can find the book at Amazon.com. This publication ranks about 350 metropolitan areas, comparing living costs, employment outlook, housing, transportation, education, health care, crime, recreation and climate.
I typed "salaries in different cities" into a Google search and the first site that came up was a great source: CNN Money. This site allows you to input a salary offer in one city and see what salary you would need to meet the buying power of that salary in another city. Maybe you know how far your salary goes in one place and you need to know what kind of offer you would need to have a similar life style in the other city.
One job seeker I worked with had had little luck finding work by the time I met him six months after graduation. After we worked on his resume and his job search strategy he immediately had interviews with four companies and two offers with in a couple of weeks. He had one offer in Texas and one offer in California. The Texas offer was $20,000 less that the salaries for the same type of position in California.
Companies are looking for a combination of skills and abilities that make their companies successful. Couple that with the fact that huge numbers of baby boomers are retiring and the bottom line is they need you! If you have the right stuff they want you and they are willing to pay for your talents. Amazingly- you are more often than not, in the driver's seat.
I worked with an experienced candidate in Houston who was offered a job with Siemens, a large, multinational firm. The job offer included a better work schedule, it was closer to home, and at a significantly higher salary. The offer came through a former co-worker who had joined Siemens earlier in the year. When he submitted his resignation to his current employer they begged him for the chance to renegotiate the terms of his employment to keep him on board. He was stunned. The new offer motivated his current employer to work hard to keep him. The company exceeded all aspects of the international firm's offer. They arranged for him to work from home multiple days per week and increased his salary by 45% above the salary he had been working at in the same position. The fear of losing a really great employee motivated his employer to sweeten the pot to keep him. He liked the company and his
co-workers and really didn't want to leave his employer so he agreed to stay.
If the company you are negotiating with does not meet your expectations on the salary side, and they are unwilling to negotiate, you can explore other aspects of the package. Perhaps they can offer other inducements. Some companies pay tuition for your graduate degree. Other companies pay off student loans. I have also heard of companies offering additional weeks of vacation to entice a candidate. Signing bonuses, retention bonuses, and moving expenses are also common. There are also many things that you may consider advantageous like on site childcare or adult care for family members that might make the salary less important.
Maybe they can give you an office, instead of a cubicle, or perhaps there is a stock option sweetener. Yes, even if the stock market is down at the moment in time when you are negotiating, it will go up eventually. Keep in mind that all of those Ferraris down in Silicon Valley were paid for with stock that was owned before the company went public.
The final task is knowing when to say "yes" or when to walk away. Actually, this is something that you should have known from the beginning. Before you even ask if it's negotiable, you need to know your bottom line. It may change while you talk - as more information is thrown into the discussion - but you need to have available for reference or recalculation.
You can do this. Just remember, be reasonable, be informed, don't be greedy, and most importantly, don't be afraid to ask.

Frequently Asked Questions
No Fix – No Money: Are there any if's, ands, or but's?
If we can't fix it there is absolutely 100% no charge for our services. We also provide free estimates!
Are your prices competitive?
Our prices are in-line with industry standards. We will try our best to beat or match most competitors prices by 5% or more. In short we might not always be the cheapest but we will always be the best because we care about you and your business.
Do you offer net 30, 60, or 90 terms?
We will do what it takes to work with your accounts payable department. However these arrangements MUST be made in advance.
When does my billing start?
We bill what is called "doorstep-to-doorstep" billing meaning we charge you from the minute we leave and are en-route to your location. This sounds like it is unfair but remember we have to pay for our own gas, and wear and tear on our vehicles. Other companies will just try to "hide" this charge but we do not work that way. To us it's just doing the right thing by letting customers know exactly what they are being billed for.
Can you teach me how to upgrade my computer?
Yes. We can teach you how to upgrade your own computer, step-by-step, at your house or business.
What equipment do I need?
To answer this question correctly, we first would need to know what you would like to do on your network. After that, we can put together a list of equipment you will need. Most small networks will just need some sort of a switch or a router, some network cable, and a couple of network cards.
When is my monthly bill due?
All MONTHLY invoices come out on the 1st day of every month and are due on the 15th of every month.
Do you offer onsite/ home service?
Our services are mainly onsite. Most upgrades, repairs, maintenance, and some troubleshooting can be performed on-site. In some cases (few hardware issues), we have to take system to our office based lab. Our prices include these services free of charge.
Can you troubleshoot an existing small network?
Yes. We can troubleshoot most home and small business networks even if we did not originally install it.
How do you bill me?
We send invoices electronically using e-mail and PDF files. You may also pay online using the links provided in the e-mail.

Republican David M. Maloney won't take office until January, but he's already paying dividends for constituents in the 130th State House District.
Maloney announced Tuesday he will not accept the automatic 1.7% cost-of-living adjustment increase that members of the Pennsylvania Legislature gave themselves.
The automatic COLA raise was enacted in 1995 and gives a yearly pay raise for state legislators, members of the executive branch, including the governor, state judges and other state officials. (Gov.-elect Tom Corbett has also announced he will not accept the raise.)
Maloney issued the following statement: "Taking the increase is simply not the right thing to do. I have met so many people in our district this year who are truly struggling to pay bills, taxes and keep their homes. With Pennsylvania's high unemployment at nearly 10% and many of those out of work will be seeing the end of their unemployment benefits soon and as the Social Security Administration said there will be no increase again for our seniors, this is not the time for a COLA increase."
Maloney said he will return the COLA to the taxpayers of Pennsylvania.
"It is the people's money. We also have a nearly $5 billion dollar hole in our budget coming next year so every belt needs tightening. The State Legislature needs to lead by example."
Maloney, a reform candidate who unseated Democratic incumbent Rep. David Kessler, represents the 130th district, which includes Boyertown, Birdsboro, Fleetwood and Earl, Douglass (Berks), Ruscombmanor, Amity, Rockland, Pike, Oley, Union and Colebrookdale townships and parts of Exeter Township.

The film is about a young man who is insecure in life and tries to rediscover himself. However, the road he must defy to get there, still remains long. He reaches out to horses who reflect his inner emotions as he tries to find his strength again. Will he succeed? Jochem used to be an ordinary boy. But while his physical wounds slowly heal, his fear to confront the outside world grows. His habitat decreases immensely while his livingroom couch becomes a safe ship surrounded by the ferocious ocean. Every confrontation with the outside frightens him, passing people on the street, his neighbours. He even refuses his mom to enter his room. She tries to help him in many ways but it is impossible to get through to Jochem. He struggles with his thoughts and is not healing from the violence that is done to him. Jochem does realize it is impossible to go on like this. He longs to his old life and tries to open himself up but he is not able to do it on his own. Because his fear is deeply rooted in the inability to trust people he takes the advice of his mom to go on equine therapy. On a ranch in Spain, with the help of horses, animals and the vast nature, Jochem gets an opportunity to rediscover himself. To find a strength inside of him in order to face his own world again, Amsterdam.
The appendix of the director: Reber Dosky
We people often assume we've already discovered everything about our lifes, but I truly believe that there is always more. With the movie Horsepower I would like to illustrate the way in which humans and nature are intertwined. People and animals share a long history. 3500 years ago humans learned to cultivated the horse as a mean for transport, heavy labour and later for sports as well. Nowadays horses got a new role, as therapists. They are very sensitive animals, they notice when someone is feeling insecure or confident and calm.
My fascination for animals is big. But I think horses are the most special. When I was a little boy, my dad kept two horses. I was quite a busy kid but around the horses always came to rest. Years later after watching the documentary "Man and Horse," of Marjoleine Boonstra, I learned why horses affected me like that.
After my study 'directing documentary' at the Film Academy, I really wanted to produce a fiction-film with horse therapy in it. This took shape a few months ago, when a unfortunate boy from Eindhoven totally got beaten up for no reason. Those television images may have reached your living room as well. The first question I asked myself was: "what happened with the victim after this incident?" This was the start for the film.
Our actor Jochem, becomes a victim of abuse in the centre of Amsterdam. After this incident he falls into a social isolation and looses touch with himself and with the people around him, resulting in paranoia. Eventually he has no other choice than to go into therapy. It is a special therapy with horses that takes place in Spain. With the help of horses, people with psychiatric issues learn how to reconnect themselves with themselves and thus with others.
Remarkable about this film is the fact that we work with professionals from the discipline. The therapists and the psychologists play themselves.
Niels Gooijer: JochemNiels' love for theater has been there all his live. This resulted that he started lessons when he was 11, until it grew more serious. At 16 he started an pre-school in Theater (next to his normal school) called 'De Noorderlingen'. Here he learned to love the professional aspect of theatre and stood regularly on stage with small productions. In 2007 he got accepted at the 'School of Acting and Musical Theatre' in Amsterdam. In his fourth year of school he got an internship at a big musical production 'Soldaat van Oranje', and ultimately got a job. He played the role of 'Paul' and was alternate for the main part. He also graduated with a self-made play, writted by Arnon Grunberg, directed by Gerardjan Rijnders. After this Niels got work in mainly musical theatre. He makes his own music, plays on stage and now makes his film-debut with Reber Dosky. "Creating is one of the most wonderfull aspects of being an artist. I always try to seek new people that inspire me or share the love to translate real-live subjects into art."
Marisa van Eyle: mother
Myrthe Hogeterp: RoosShe studied Psychology at the University and is a certified coach working with horses.While she was modelling in Milan she also got a chance to study acting with coaches from LA and NY at the Actors Academy Milano. She is grateful that she got the chance to combine her lifelong fascination and passion for horses with her passion for acting.
Geza Kovacs: Psychologis
Rein van Beek: Hippische Therapeut
Reber Dosky: - Director–producerAfter he studied Social Work and Services Reber went to the Film Academy. In his third year of studies he produced the movie"My happinness in Auschwitz (2012)." This movie got selected at a couple of international film festivals. In 2013 he graduated with the movie "Lokroep." This movie is still active at international filmfestivals. Reber shows little stories of human relations in his movies and places them into a broader, social context.
Lenina Ungari: – Scenariste – 1st asisitent directorLenina Ungari was born on the 20th of May 1985 in Rome. Before she studied at the Dutch Film and Television Academy she graduated for a Bachelor in Religion studies and a minor in Practical Philosophy, both at the University of Amsterdam. She prefers to write for author filmmakers. As an assistant-writer she worked on several projects for Martyn Maria Smits, like the tv drama "de Hoer en het Meisje" that got nominated for a "Gouden Kalf." Lenina loves movies where the surroundings plays an important narrative role.
DOP: Stephan PolmanAfter studying at the Graphic Lyceum in Eindhoven and the Photo & Film Academy Narafi Brussels successfully completed, Stephan started his training at the Film Academy. He turned in his study 2nd unit and B-camera to Overspel (2012, Frank Ketelaar, Dana Nechushtan, Arno Dierickx), Lieve Celine (2013, Thomas Korthals Altes) and De Marathon (2012, Diederick Koopal). Stephan also worked as a camera assistant on Annie MG (2010, Dana Nechushtan), Amsterdam & EVA (2010, Norbert Ter Hall), JOY (2010 Mijke de Jong), Dik Trom (2010, Arne Toonen) and various commercials. At the film school he graduated with the documentary Lokroep (Reber Dosky) and short movie Cowboys Janken Ook (Mees Peijnenburg).
Nina BadouxWhen she was fifteen Nina discovered her passion for creating images. She felt the ambition to capture situations around her on camera. This ambition got her this far that, in summer of 2010, she got the chance to participate in the production of the movie 'Rabat'(2010, Jim Taihuttu). During the summer of 2013 Nina worked on the documentary 'Jeux' (2013, Gijs en Leonard Besseling) for the NTR about the life of Arthur en Lucas Jussen. This experience extended her interests into the field of documentaries as well. She shot a commercial for Morgan Knibbe, a documentary about the refugee-isle Lampedusa (together with JelleNesna) and a commercial for WHATS. During her last year of her study at the Film Academy, Nina got selected for a Masters Program organized by Foundation Idea Fix and Binger Lab. In 2014 she graduated at the Dutch Film Academy direction camera.

Beste mensen,
Namens de crew van Paardenkracht nodig ik u van harte uit voor de première op donderdag 4 augustus 2016.
Zoals u wellicht nog weet, zijn we in de zomer van 2013 gestart met de filmopnames. Een deel hebben we in Amsterdam gedraaid en een deel in Spanje. We waren allemaal net afgestudeerde studenten van de filmacademie of andere kunst- en theaterscholen.
We droomden ervan films te maken, inmiddels is het ons dagelijks werk. We hadden weinig budget waardoor de postproductie lang heeft geduurd. U heeft ons geholpen om onze droom toch te realiseren en de film af te maken. 42 minuten Paardenkracht is het resultaat. Dit bijzondere en experimentele verhaal willen we graag via het witte doek met u delen.
We hopen dat u aanwezig bent bij de besloten première op 4 augustus 2016. Uiteraard zijn de hoofdrolspelers Niels Gooijer, Myrthe Hogeterp en Reinard Van Beek en de rest van de crew er ook om met u na te praten en een drankje te drinken.

Apollo smiled this sunny Sunday afternoon on the sons and daughters of the South as we celebrated the 275th anniversary of the Battle of Bitanto in solidarity with our kinfolk in Bitonto, Puglia. The first ever commemoration of its kind in New York City favorably recalled the May 25th, 1734 military victory of Charles of Bourbon over the Austrian Hapsburgs. The Bourbon's triumph led to the end of centuries of foreign rule and the restoration of the independent and sovereign Southern Italian nation.
What started off as a friendly competition soon turned into a serious competitive contest as the gathered combatants at Bill Brown Memorial Playground (Brooklyn, NY) vied for bocce ball supremacy. After a slow start, team Ausonia came on strong and went home with the coveted laurel of victory and all-important bragging-rights.
Attendees received buttons and T-shirts emblazoned with the Regno delle Due Sicilie coat of arms. A copy of Jean Raspail's prophetic classic, The Camp of the Saints was raffled off to help raise money for the victims of the earthquake in L'Aquila, Abruzzo. We are proud to announce that several hundred dollars were raised in the effort. Il Regno remains dedicated to the preservation of our culture and our heritage.

The Parent's Role
Surgery can be an Emotional Time
When the surgery is to be performed on your child, it is especially stressful. There are things you can do to reduce the chance that your fears and anxieties, as a parent, will be transferred to your child. Children who are less anxious and less fearful have an easier time before and after surgery.
Remember, your emotions and anxiety level influence your child. Keep calm and in control of your emotions to help your child do the same. Follow the recommendations listed in this brochure to accomplish this goal. For more information, talk with your child's physician, surgeon, and nurse, as well as staff at the hospital or surgicenter.
Tips To Help You and Your Child Before Surgery and Anesthesia
- Obtain accurate information about your child's procedure and about what to expect.
- Talk with the surgeon, without your child, to get all the information you need.
- Ask if there is a preadmission program for children and, if so, participate in it.
- Allow your child to share fears and concerns with you. Do not interrupt, minimize, or belittle your child. Let your child know that it is okay to feel afraid.
- Answer your child's questions honestly. If you don't know the answer, find out.
- Discuss the separation procedure with your doctor or nurse. How will your child be transferred from you to the healthcare provider? For example, if your child is an infant, will you be able to hold your child until the sedative takes effect?
- Compare the time your child will be in surgery to the length of a favorite cartoon or video.
- Let your child know to expect some pain after the surgery by saying, "When they wake you up, it will probably hurt."
- Be present for your child's immediate postoperative recovery period, if recommended by the anesthesia professional. In some settings it may be possible to be present for the beginning of the anesthesia.
- Be there with your child. Sit at the bedside and comfort your child. If appropriate, snuggle, cuddle, hold, and touch your child.
- Ask about rooming-in with your child.
- Control your emotions and your behavior. Although you may be very upset and anxious, display a calm, soothing, trusting manner to your child.
- Try to avoid crying in front of your child.
- Take "2" for you! Take two minutes (or longer) out of sight of your child to express your emotions and focus yourself on what your child needs from you—support!
- Be honest. It is wrong to tell your child "it won't hurt" or that he/she is going to a birthday party when they are really going to the hospital. Telling your child that he or she is going to take a "nap" may raise fears later when the word "nap" is mentioned to your child. Instead, tell your child, "The doctor or nurse will give you medicine to make you sleep so it won't hurt when the doctor fixes your _____. The doctor and nurse will wake you up when they are done."
- Alleviate your child's fears. In no way should you threaten your child by saying something like "If you're bad, they're going to stick you with a needle."
- Give some facts calmly, but without being too graphic or detailed about what your child will experience. If you don't know the answer, say "We'll ask."
- Remember your role as a parent. Your emotions and behavior can have an impact on your child's outcome, so take your parental role very seriously.

CRNAs - A Tradition of Quality Care
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are anesthesia specialists who administer more than 34 million anesthetics to patients in the United States each year. The nurse anesthesia specialty has a history of 150 years.
CRNAs represent a commitment to high standards in a demanding field. The educational requirements to become a CRNA are extensive. Prior to applying for admission to a graduate program in nurse anesthesia, a candidate must have a four-year bachelor of science degree in nursing or other appropriate baccalaureate degree, a current license as a registered nurse, and a minimum of one year of acute care nursing experience. The master's degree nurse anesthesia program itself is 24-36 months, depending on university requirements. CRNAs are board certified, and mandatory continuing education is required for recertification every two years.
Nurse anesthetists provide high-quality anesthesia services combined with personal concern for the health and welfare of patients. They are happy to assist you and offer information about what to expect with your anesthesia.

Season two of Netflix's Sense8 debuts on May 5 and to our delight, the show's second installment inspires even more wanderlust than the first. For those who haven't seen the show (you really should), it chronicles the lives of eight characters plunged into each other's lives from across the globe, and in the process, offers up as much travel inspiration as Planet Earth or Parts Unknown. Filming the fast-paced tale of a villain hunting down the "Sensates" took place across 15 cities and 13 countries—something no TV drama has done before.
"If a scene was written for a particular city, it was shot in that city," says Grant Hill, the show's executive producer. "It was so rewarding because it was all about getting deep into the culture of the given city and placing our characters in that environment."
The show required that the cast and crew fly in excess of 250,000 miles. "And some of the directors and producers, who had done seven months of scouting, flew 370,000 miles for the show," Hill adds.
The approach is a first when it comes to television shows and the effort, according to Hill, has been entirely worth it. "With all of the cities we go to, and always calling on local talent, it's like we were making a small film in each city then putting them all together. It's a fully immersive experience."
For the Sense8 fans, don't worry—we've left out plot details so we don't spoil anything, but as a companion to your weekend of binge-watching, here are some of the highlights from Sense8's travels around the world.
Positano, Italy
"We had a complex underwater sequence to film in Positano, and it was fortuitous that there was little traffic while we were there in April," says Hill. The cast experienced the chic seaside hotels on the Amalfi Coast and, "of course, the food," like the innovative bites and decadent dessert at Chez Black. As Hill puts it, "You can't get much better than that."
Seoul, South Korea
"We spent the most time in Seoul—about three weeks in August," says Hill. "We had a big action scene, so we had to deal with congested streets day and night." The scenes were shot among the narrow alleyways of Bukchon Village, Seoul's hub of tradition, where tea houses, galleries, and restaurants are housed in the classic hanoks that overlook the city below.
Mexico City, Mexico
While in Mexico City, the crew ventured to the borough of La Condesa to shoot. "It was definitely a crowd pleaser for its culinary treasures," says Hill. "The whole cast enjoyed the high-minded food and cocktails from around the city."
Rural Scotland
The show kept to Scotland's western flank, around the Ardkinglas Estate. They ventured to Castle Stalker for filming, a reprieve from so much time spent in bustling cities. "We really cherished the juxtaposition of the cold and quiet of Scotland to the bright and hot nature of a city like Nairobi or Mumbai," says Hill.
Hill and company spent the summer in European cities. "There was an enthusiasm about all the cities, but Amsterdam was a new city for the series. We filmed among the 80 galleries of the Rijksmuseum for three days, which was an incredible place to see and experience."
Mumbai, India
"Each city has its own peculiarities, and Mumbai is certainly one with many peculiarities. The process of moving is a challenge unto itself." Filming took place on the iconic Marine Drive, as well as the Babulnath Temple, one of the oldest temples in the city.

Use the drop-down menu below to choose paperback or hardcover.
Who says that Lupita is "too little?" Not Chief Cobb, the friendly policeman. Not Mrs. Foote, the local gas-station owner. Not even Mr. Grabb, the strange new visitor to town. But in Big Enough / Bastante grande by award-winning author Ofelia Dumas Lachtman, Mamá always sighs, "Muy, muy chica," every time Lupita tries to help out at the restaurant that Mamá runs all by herself. And yet, when push comes to shove—or, in this case, when Grabb comes to swipe—everyone in this bilingual tale for ages 3 to 7 discovers that, although Lupita may be too little for some tasks, for others she is big enough.
With vivid illustrations by Enrique O. Sánchez that delightfully enhance the story, Big Enough / Bastante grande evokes the yearning for growing independence of every child. This entertaining, action-filled tale will have children and adults alike panting for breath as they try to keep up with Lupita, racing along toward an exciting conclusion.
"The story is pertinent for the elementary-level reader and involves situations that will interest these children."—LORGNETTE

Under the medical direction of a specialized, wound-care physician, a team of experienced doctors, nurses, and technicians brings uniquely focused care to patients at Virtua's wound-care centers. These special clinicians assess each patient's overall healthcare needs as part of determining the patient's course of treatment for wound healing.
The team concentrates on the most up-to-date essentials of wound dressing, wound cleaning and disinfection and wound protection. The Virtua centers use the most advanced additional approaches to wound care, as needed, including:
- hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), which accelerates healing by increasing oxygen in the wound environment internally, as a result of patient sessions in a hyperbaric chamber;
- Apligraf, a living bi-layered skin substitute that can help wounds to heal over;
- endovascular laser treatment, in which the staff uses a laser to treat varicose veins from within (permitting patients to avoid vein-stripping surgery);
- and vacuum devices to help close wounds.
|Many different conditions cause wounds, and many factors can account for the failure of these wounds to heal.
In coordination with the patient's referring physician, the staff helps to assess and make suggestions or interventions to improve each patient's overall health to, in turn, enhance the healing process. This includes evaluating the patient's nutritional status, as well as his or her heart, lung and vascular health –– and may involve referral for cardiac, pulmonary, or vascular care. Likewise, staff members confer closely with referring physicians from these and other areas. In addition, they assist in managing arrangements for the patient's at-home care.

When & Where
Thursday, June 29th 2017, Metlife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey. 20th and penultimate night of Leg 1 of #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
After their 13th & final appearance as support on this tour, The Lumineers said farewell and thanks.
@grandcanuck (via Twitter) : 'no need to thank us (for our time). Thank you for your music. Fantastic set'.
Bono held them up too, during the intro to NYD : "Thank you to The Lumineers… tremendous trio! Wesley… Jeremiah… Neyla.. thank you for coming on the caravan with us… Troubadours!'
Set List
SBS, NYD, BAD, Pride - Then came The Joshua Tree, eleven tracks, in sequence, for the 20th time in a row.
Act III was looking similar to night one in New Jersey - 16. Miss Sarajevo 17. Beautiful Day 18. Elevation 19. Vertigo - but then a few sweet changes, doubling up the tribute 'to the women in our lives' with 20. Mysterious Ways 21. Ultraviolet (Light My Way) 22. One and 23. The Little Things That Give You Away.
Social Post
@mrsjameshetfield (via IG) :'First time seeing seeing U2 #bulletthebluesky and #withorwithoutyou alone are worth the price of admission #amazing #concertbucketlist #datenight #mrsjameshetfieldapproved'
@ontheroadwithu2 (via twitter) : 'Bono forgets what song is next and asks "Where are we The Edge?' And Edge replies "New Jersey".'
@febottini (via twitter, AFTER 'Exit') 'No one tweets during Exit. Fact'
In The Press
Spencer Dukoff in the New York Daily News.
'While powers that be attempt to divide us and them, the simple truth is that we are all "one." As the sun set on the Meadowlands and Trump's travel ban 2.0 went into effect Thursday night, Bono remained steadfast in his belief that America is a nation of immigrants.
"This city, this country has given us Irish safety and sanctuary for hundreds of years," Bono said. "We would like to say thank you."
It was U2's second night at MetLife Stadium in honor of the 30th anniversary of their seminal album "The Joshua Tree."
Bono also invoked Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in a semi-prayer for this turbulent political era. "Dr. King, in a time of terror, keep us tolerant. In a time of fear, keep us faithful," Bono said.
Although the show wasn't too heavy-handed in its political message, the band picked its spots to directly express its opinion on immigration and refugees. In one particularly poignant moment, a film featuring an interview with a teen Syrian girl played as the intro to "Miss Sarajevo," itself a tribute to civilians from the Bosnian War. In the film, the girl expresses, through subtitles, "I would love to go to America because it's a very beautiful country … It's the land of dreams."
Donald Trump's name was conspicuously absent from the show even though Bono took time to thank President Bush and President Obama for their help in combatting the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa. He also took time to express his appreciation for members of the media. "I would like to thank all of those that keep us vigilant, like journalists, in this country," Bono said.
If You Had To Pick One Song
@Ballatc (via twitter) : 'They sang one tree hill and dedicated it to everyone who's dealing with loss and I'm emo as fuck'
What (else) did Bono Say?
During Bad intro : "Thank you for coming out tonight… by land, by sea, by tunnel… That you would take the trouble to get all the way out here means a lot to us…thank you for sitting in the traffic, whatever you had to do on a hot summers night to come to see your favourite Irish band!
Our prayer this evening, is that we have one of those EPIC nights… that we all remember to hold on to. And that we let go of the useless and offer ourselves be useful. Thats our prayer."
Review On U2.com
mindy schwartzerkoboni : 'What a beautiful night! it was our first U2 concert and my son's first stadium show. Was an amazing experience. thank you U2 for a fantastic show <3 <3'
If you were at the show tonight, tell us all about it. Add your own review and photos below.

Most EPIC Night EVER From My FAVORITE IrBono, your prayer was answered. This was an epic night. I had tickets for this night first and was so excited I had to get tickets for Wednesday too. This was my first show in GA - and I made it to the second row just to the right of where Bono stands on the main stage. Totally worth the hour and a half drive and nearly 10 hour wait after. I wore my Bono sunglasses the whole time. I cried during "Bad" and the beginning of "Streets". And for the last five songs one guy switched places with me so I was on the rail, that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me, I wish I'd gotten his name. This was the best night of my life. The band sounded great, I heard one of my favorite albums in full (for a second time), and I was just a few feet away from my favorite band. I am so thankful. Bono, The Edge, Adam, and Larry, thank you for giving me the five best nights of my life, and this one was #1. I can't wait until the next time you guys are in the NYC/NJ/Philly area.
09 July, 2017
Awesome night... Thank you, U2!I became a U2 fan because of my brother Johnny. I was a Duranie and we would argue with him over who was better. Eventually U2 was My favorite band. My first job was when I was 12 and i worked at the Englishtown flea market in NJ. I would get paid $25 for the day and walk over to a building that I found out was selling U2 boot legs. $5 for a single cassette and $10 for a double. I could never wait to get home and listen to them. I'd hear songs like the springfield mining disaster and so many that would give me chills hearing Bono's emotions. My first U2 concert was the Joshua Tree in 1987 at Giants Stadium at 15 years old. It was impossible to get tickets. I would wait for contests on the radio and I got lucky and won 2 tickets on Z-100. I was too young for them to give me Birthday Bash tickets which was supposed to be part of the prize, but I didn't care bc I just wanted to see my favorite band. It was amazing to be able to relive that for both nights at Giants Stadium this year. First night with family and friends, second night by myself with a Red Zone ticket I was able to get with one presale code left between me and my brother Johnny. (My videos are on YouTube but some drunk guy kept bumping into me so they could've come out better, and this was my first time going to a concert by myself which ended up being ok because U2 fans are great and I met a few people.) Anyway, thank you to U2 for making me feel like I was 15 again for those 2 nights. I've seen them at least 25 times since I was 15 in New Jersey and the UK. If you're still reading this, thank you for listening to me relive some great memories. :)
03 July, 2017
Amazing night!!!Thanks for your show..it was really nice....i love your music..thanks again xx
01 July, 2017
U2 Met Life Stadium New JerseyThis was my fav U2 concert out of all I'll been to. "Epic" yes indeed! I never felt as close to the band tonight even though their were 80,000 fans surrounding me. Thank you so much for your prayers, music and as always nudging us from our complacency. Red tree Hill touched me so. Bad was moving and went through my body touching every nerve of my soul. Wishing ye safe travels the rest of your tour. "Slan go fill"
30 June, 2017
AmazingI missed them in Syracuse in 1987 when I was in college so I went to both Met Life shows to make up for it. I had GA seats and the second night was better than the first because the energy in the crowd around us was so much better.
30 June, 2017
30 years later and the songs are timelesBoth shows were amazing but the second night was even better. Incredible how 30 years have passed but the songs are just as relevant today and these guys inspire me in ways I can't explain... but Im sure many U2 fans would agree... attending a U2 show is like a religious experience and better than any medicine. Thanks!
30 June, 2017
Another amazing nightTitle says it all
30 June, 2017
Show number 20 of TheJoshuaTreeTour2017Last night was special because it was my 20th U2 concert over 32 years. They were amazing, as expected, and they made me think, as always. But they also made me reflect on what they mean to me. Their music shaped the way I view the world, politics, social justice and even God. It's gotten me through some dark days when I thought I'd never smile again and made the good times even better. So as I reflect I'm grateful to U2 for taking me to the church of rock and roll and lifting my soul. See you in September In Missouri on my birthday for #21!
30 June, 2017

An year back , I came to know that there is an event called Barcamp that is happening in my neighborhood. Which is an unconventional way of gathering of like minded people, mostly passion driven, in order to maximize networking,sharing and learning diverse ideas. It is a user generated 'un-conference'.
And on 28 th March 2010, the latest BarCampKerala was happened in MACFEST, Thiruvalla. You can check the BarCampKerala web site for details.
Though as many as 17 sessions were registered, few didn't turn up, may be due to genuine reasons.
To brief a few sessions that I found useful were
Mr. Deepak from IBM research presented a fine session on Statistical Machine Learning in a simple way. (twitter: @deepakp7)
A presentation on Artificial Intelligence backed power saving technology christened SPARA from Artin Dynamics.
A presetation on 'Startups in Kerala' by a law consultant, Ivan (twitter:@ivan457).
Alan Haggai 's presentation on perl programming language and community.
Mr. Shwetank Dixit 's presentation on Mobile web gave insight on statistics of web usage through Opera software from mobile devises. He is from Opera. (twitter:@shwetank)

Of course, we're talking about Weasyl here, not YouTube or FA. It probably will already be like this by default, and if not the devs will no doubt fix or keep feature as they see it'd be fit for the most user-friendly possible look.

I could see the combo working, but it could also cause issues since the submission creator would still end up having to crop images and the main point many people have against the squares would still be relevant. Only way I see the grid style working was if it was set up like how other art sites do it.
Hm, you have a point. I remember DeviantART let you choose on the fly whether to display submissions as thumbnails or text based notifications, maybe you could do it like that and have the automatic crop for people who just like the uniform look.
I suppose it's a good thing I never got around to uploading very much of what I have published elsewhere. The pre-existing thumbnail device had better work wonders, because I'd hate to waste my time modifying what's already there.
Sega does what Nintendon't.
If you still aren't satisfied with it, we'd value that feedback. At this point in time, there are no plans for supporting two different layouts. However, the observation about a grid for notifications is an interesting one, and if people do find the new layout problematic for notifications, we may look into creating a look there that works better there. In that case still, we'd probably only support one layout in each place, i.e. a grid for notifications (and perhaps some other areas of the site) and the uniform-height-variable-width rows everywhere else.
Handling the transition and any hiccups will probably occupy us for a while at first, of course.
Awesomeness. Glad to see Thumbnails will now show the full image.
Thanks, Weasyl!
I'm also in favor of a grid display if possible, but the fact we're moving from square thumbs is already an improvement in my book.
To people requesting square thumbnails for browsing the inbox, this would be sorted out by having a consistent grid; instead of keeping 2 thumb systems, you just change how they fill the screen.
I suggest the UI crew study deviantART's current system - they did the same "organic grid" in the past and put a regular alignment toggle option later on.
Just one question: what happens with way too wide or way too tall images? Let's say an aspect ratio of 20:1 or 1:20. I'm afraid wide images might break stuff and tall images will go unnoticed as a thin line between pictures.

American author Mark Harris was born November 19, 1922, in Mt. Vernon, New York.
Following military service from 1943–1944, Harris became a journalist and worked on a variety of newspapers and magazines for the remainder of the decade, including the Daily Item (Port Chester, NY. 1944–1945), PM (New York, NY, 1945), the International News Service (St. Louis, 1945–1946), and in Chicago for the Negro Digest and Ebony (1946–1951). Harris remained active as a journalist for most of his writing career.
Harris completed his first novel, Trumpet to the World, while he was employed in St. Louis; it was published in 1946. Two years later, Harris enrolled as an undergraduate at the University of Denver and eventually went on to receive a master's degree in English (1951) from Denver, as well as a Ph.D. in American Studies (1956) from the University of Minnesota. Harris's dissertation focused on the life and work of the American literary radical Randolph Bourne.
Even while he attended school, Harris continued to write fiction. He produced three additional novels, all of which were published by the time he received his Ph.D. Following the receipt of his doctorate, Harris began a long, productive career as a college educator teaching at San Francisco State College (1954–1968), Purdue University (1967–1970), California Institute of the Arts (1970–1973), the University of Southern California (1973-1975), the University of Pittsburgh (1976–1980), and Arizona State University-Tempe (1980–2001).
Harris may be best known for his fictional work, Bang the Drum Slowly (1956), the second volume in his trilogy devoted to the fictional baseball player, Henry Wiggen. Harris adapted this novel into a screenplay for the 1973 movie of the same name. Several of Harris's novels have received critical acclaim, notably, Something about a Soldier (1957), Wake Up Stupid (1959), The Goy (1970), and Killing Everybody (1973).
In addition to his work as a novelist, Mark Harris has produced a variety of works in other literary genres. His critical contributions include editing the poems of Vachel Lindsay inSelected Poems of Vachel Lindsay (1963) and the journals of James Boswell inHeart of Boswell (1981).
Harris has written biographies that include Vachel Lindsay'sCity of Discontent(1952), and Saul Bellow'sSaul Bellow: Drumlin Woodchuck (1980). Harris's autobiographical books include Mark the Glove Boy; or, The Last Days of Richard Nixon (1964), an account of Harris's coverage of Nixon's unsuccessful California gubernatorial campaign; Twentyone Twice: A Journal(1966), an account of Harris' experiences in Sierra Leone as a member of the Peace Corps; and finally, Best Father Ever Invented: An Authobiography of Mark Harris (1976), which chronicles his life from late adolescence up to 1973.

EU Budget Battle Berlin and Brussels Demand More from London and Paris
The European Commission and top German politicians are becoming increasingly exasperated with both France and Britain as the summit in Brussels to determine the EU budget for the seven-year period from 2014 to 2020 approaches.
Both countries have been insistent on getting their way as member states position themselves for what promise to be difficult talks -- and both London and Paris have threatened to veto the budget if it doesn't meet their expectations. In response, European Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger, Germany's representative on the EU's executive body, has harshly criticized the two countries.
In a speech before the German association representing magazine publishers in the country, Oettinger warned against "cheap populism" when reporting on Greece, before saying "my problem children are France and Great Britain." By way of explanation, he said that with its anti-EU course, London has "taken leave of its senses." He added that tabloids such as The Sun appear to be trying to force Britain out of the EU. Turning to France, he said the country had too little industry and innovation.
Oettinger's comments were echoed on Friday by a close confidant of Chancellor Angela Merkel in an interview with SPIEGEL ONLINE. Volker Kauder, head of Merkel's conservatives in parliament, said that "Europe will not make progress without a functioning Franco-German axis."
Kauder was critical of France's socialist leadership, saying that "we can only hope that President François Hollande moves a bit closer to the chancellor" when it comes to combating the euro crisis. He added: "It would be good if the socialists there undertook real and courageous structural reforms. That would be good for the country and good for Europe."
'Prepared to Compromise'
If anything, Kauder was even firmer when it came to London. "I want Europe to stay together," he said. "Great Britain can't constantly claim special treatment; they too have to be prepared to compromise."
The two politicians are just the latest to express frustration with the brinksmanship that has so far defined preliminary talks on the EU budget. British parliament recently passed a non-binding resolution demanding substantial cuts to the €1 trillion budget recently proposed by the European Commission. The vote included several lawmakers from David Cameron's own party breaking ranks to force the British prime minister into an uncompromising position at the upcoming summit, scheduled for Nov. 22.
Cameron had told parliamentarians that he would, at worst, seek a budgetary freeze. "I am quite prepared to use the veto if we do not get a deal that is good for Britain," he said. Yet a freeze, albeit adjusted for inflation, is essentially what the Commission has proposed. British parliament, however, would like cuts of up to 20 percent. Last week, European Commissioner for Financial Programming and Budget Janusz Lewandowski said, in reference to London, "either they see their future in the European Union in the long term or they don't."
France, for its part, has threatened to veto the budget if it doesn't include a continuation of generous agricultural subsidies. Last week, Merkel -- who would also like to see the budget reduced, though not to the degree proposed by Britain -- urged leaders to avoid inflammatory rhetoric. "I don't want to throw more vetoes into the room," she said. "It doesn't help bring about a solution."
Still, for all the recent pleas for compromise coming from Berlin and Brussels, there have been no signs that Cameron is preparing to back down. At a dinner in London with Merkel on Wednesday night, the two made little progress in reconciling their positions. Next week, the British prime minister plans to fly to Rome for a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti on the upcoming budget showdown.
And if Cameron does ultimately refuse to budge, it seems certain that he will have the support of most Britons. According to a new survey published by the public opinion research group YouGov on Friday, some 49 percent of British citizens would vote in favor of their country withdrawing from the EU if a referendum were held. Only 28 percent would vote to stay. In Germany, the numbers are flipped, with 57 percent in favor of staying and just 25 percent backing withdrawal.

Conservation experts that were restoring a 400 year old cannon from an English shipwreck approached Premier Castings to reconstruct the cannon.
The "Queen Elizabeth"s Lost Guns" programme followed experts who found and raised the ships cannons with the aim to demonstrate the British naval dominance of Queen Elizabeth I. As we had cast numerous live-fire cannons before, we were well placed to create an exact, working replica of the 9 foot cannon. While the principle for casting the cannon is the same as it would have been all those centuries ago, the technology involved is now very different. The team historian pointed out, back in the 16th century the gun would have been cast vertically in a pit, but the end product is the same.
"The furnace which holds the molten pig iron, which is made from a base of scrap including car brake discs and carbon, isn"t heated by charcoal and stoked by water-powered bellows, as it would have been centuries ago, now it uses an electromagnetic field to raise the temperature, similar to a microwave oven." Although modernised, the process of bringing the pig iron up to the correct temperature to be poured into the moulds cannot be rushed. Mr Lees said: If we try and force the process there are problems. It takes as long as it takes . . . it"s still nature"s way. And so, under the watchful eye of excavation leader Mensun Bound and Nick Hall from the Royal Armouries, the molten iron was poured into the mould. All the team waited with bated breath for the cannon to cool down and be removed from the casing.
The cannon was then successfully fired on the Timewatch programme on BBC2. Further Links: Oldham Chronicle BBC News BBC Video Clips

As women give birth, health systems are straining to help them.
[This article is a partnership between The New York Times and The Fuller Project.]
On Wednesday, March 18, 28-year-old Latoyha Young and her mother, Thomasina Hayten, rushed to Sutter Health Hospital in Sacramento, believing that Young was in labor. Hospital staff sent her home — she wasn't far enough along.
Two days later, Young spent her expected due date searching stores in Sacramento for key items: baby wipes, diapers and hand sanitizer.
The mother-and-daughter pair, who are homeless, dependent on city transportation and have been staying temporarily with a relative, needed supplies before a shelter-in-place order that went into effect on Monday. They found wipes, but no diapers.
That evening, they returned to the hospital, but were sent home. Young was only two centimeters dilated, rather than the three inches that would indicate active labor.
Nothing seemed to be going right.
The plan had been for Young to be accompanied during childbirth by a community doula, funded by a grant through Sacramentos's Black Child Legacy Campaign. But when Young's doula, Joy Dean, drove them to another hospital — one of the few that accepts her Medi-Cal plan, California's Medicaid program — the new limits on visitors permitted in labor and delivery departments in an attempt to contain the spread of Covid-19 meant that she was unable to accompany them inside.
"I'm not worried about the virus. I'm worried about going back and they're not listening to me," said Young, adding that if Dean had been with her, they might have treated her differently.
As the United States struggles to respond to the Covid-19 crisis, tens of thousands of women across the country are giving birth in unprecedented circumstances. Hospitals are shifting their prenatal and postpartum care to telemedicine, limiting or outright banning visitors, offering elective inductions to full-term mothers and converting labor and delivery wards to coronavirus units.
These changes are leaving health care providers, industry associations and patients reeling as they try to make informed decisions. "It's changing day by day," said Thorild Urdal, a nurse in the San Francisco Bay Area with almost 35 years of experience in labor and delivery.
Eileen Guo is a California-based contributing reporter with The Fuller Project, a journalism nonprofit that reports on global issues impacting women. Francesca Donner and Alisha Haridasani Gupta contributed reporting.

Mysterious 19th century boat unearthed on Cumberland Island, Ga.
Leigh Goessl
Jan 22, 2013 in
A beachcomber recently noticed an odd looking piece of wood sticking out of the sand on Cumberland Island, a federally protected wilderness area. Alerting authorities, archeologists examining the boat's remains believe it was constructed in the mid-1800s.
Last week a remarkable find was made on Cumberland Island, located in Georgia, by an individual walking along the beach. The passer-by saw an unusual piece of wood sticking out of the sand. Realizing it did not look like ordinary driftwood, the beachcomber alerted local park rangers.
According to
11 Alive News
, archeologists came and examined the wood and unearthed an 80-foot fragment of an old shipwreck, almost completely buried.
Archeologist Michael Seibert believes the boat had been built in the mid-1800s due to the style of its construction. However, when it sailed and why it was there is a total mystery. According to the Associated Press (via
Huffington Post
), there are several theories said experts. These include it serving as a supplier to southern plantation owners or maybe as a Confederate blockade runner.
There are "a lot of possibilities", said Seibert. "This has been a high-traffic area ever since the Spanish and the British started colonizing."
Cumberland Island is an area only reachable by boat and has a
rich history dating back thousands of years
. Previously owned by millionaire Thomas Carnegie, the island was donated to the
federal government
in 1972. Currently, it is preserved as a federally protected wilderness area, although many people still call the 40-square-mile island home.
Described as "elusive", archeologists could find no identifying factors that would help them learn the history of this wreck. After investigating the wooden boat, documenting the details and taking some samples, the archeologists reburied the boat in order to preserve it and keep its location secret so it remains undisturbed.
Now the experts are looking to do some extensive research to see if they can't find a connection to a boat that had been lost; they'll reportedly check maps, old newspaper clips, ship records, and insurance records. Additionally, carbon dating will be done and researchers will also try and see if they can identify what kind of tree the wooden beam was constructed from.
"There was an awful lot of Civil War military traffic along the coast (with) many smaller vessels that were all about stealth and speed," Chris McCabe, the deputy archaeologist for the state of Georgia, told the
Atlantic Journal-Constitution
. "We can't say definitively that it's a blockade runner, and we may never be able to say definitively, but it's an absolute possibility."
It is believed the rest of the boat is likely somewhere underneath the sea and that this large fragment was washed up in a storm decades ago.
"It's like detective work," said McCabe, who works out of the state's underwater archaeological field station in Savannah, reported AJC. "You piece together all the little pieces from the scene. It's like CSI."
