In the Vatel International Business Game, a virtual management simulation game, fifth-year Vatel students throughout the world compete against each other for an entire week.
The December 2017 edition thus brought together students from all walks of life, from Vatel Nimes to Vatel Switzerland, without forgetting Vatel Mauritius or Vatel Tunis. They had to make the best calls on decisions concerning human resources, marketing, finance, etc.
The bonus? Competitors were able to follow, in a live stream, changes in how their team was ranked: day after day they saw the direct impacts of their decisions for the company they were steering.
After this intensive week, the Nimes Yko&co team was designated as the "Vatel Dream Team." Congratulations to Zhaojun GU, Han WU, Fotis ATHANASOPOULOS, Boris QUILLARD, Guanzhou XIONG, Ishaan JAYARAMAN, Cheng CHI, Nicha CHANJAVANAKUL and Marion GUILLET for having implemented this excellent strategy leading them to come in first.
An insider's point of view:
- "This game was a true experience and everyone bought into it:"André Kamin shares his souvenirs of the Vatel International Business Game
- "I learned a lot on how to lead a group with a shared goal:" Adrien Marseille looks back on his Vatel International Business Game week

Scotch Whisky Cereals Technical Note: 3rd Edition
The Scotch Whisky Association's (SWA) membership accounts for 95% of the sector and aims to create conditions for long-term growth worldwide and secure Scotch's place as the leading high-quality spirit drink. The SWA holds regular meetings with a range of stakeholders, including the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) Cereals & Oilseeds, the Maltsters' Association of Great Britain (MAGB), and the National Farmers Union of Scotland (NFUS), to share views on industry and supply trends, the evolving requirements for cereal varieties, industry best practice and policy developments. This close dialogue between the organisations has helped ensure that the Scotch Whisky industry's specific cereal requirements are provided for, preferably in Scotland.
Cereals are a critical raw material for the Scotch Whisky industry. As an industry with long-term sustainability ambitions, the industry must plan ahead with its supply chain to ensure a continuity of quality cereal supplies to maintain and underpin the development and growth of its products. Strong collaboration among the industry and its supply chain is essential so that everyone from growers to grain merchants to distillers, receive a clear message regarding the strategic needs of the growing Scotch Whisky industry.
The SWA works closely with its key stakeholders and the purpose of this document (which is of a generic nature) is to help achieve a common understanding of the importance and use of cereals within the industry. Those working within the supply chain and the industry wishing to increase their knowledge of Scotch Whisky cereals may also find it of interest. It is important to note that decisions on procurement and the specification of cereals are ultimately a commercial matter for individual companies.
This is the third edition of the Cereals Technical Note (the first edition was published in January 2017). Future editions will be published annually in the Summer. A list of amendments is provided in Appendix 4.

I read A Curious Progammer's post on customizing dabbrev - specifically to skip certain regular expressions at the front of words.
I remember customizing it for Tcl to avoid looking at the $ used to dereference variables. But, I no longer use dabbrev, I use the slightly more general hippie-expand. However, hippie-expand doesn't use the dabbrev settings.
So, the question is, can you get hippie-expand to do the same thing? The answer is, "yes" of course.
hippie-expand does things slightly differently - a little cleaner IMO. It uses syntax tables to determine what to skip. And, since syntax tables are set up appropriately for every mode, the skipping does what you want w/out having to potentially customize a regexp for each mode.
Syntax tables are Emacs' way of encoding the syntactic use of each character in a buffer, and this knowledge is used for motion and regular expressions. That's how forward-word has reasonable meaning in the various programming modes, text mode, shell mode, etc. Similarly, the syntax tables define list motion.
The syntax table has the basic character types: whitespace, punctuation, word, symbol, open/close parenthesis, string, comment start/end, etc. For example, the alpha-numeric characters are generally word constituents. In html-mode the <> symbols are matching parentheses, but in most other programming modes they are punctuation characters.
The variable you set is
hippie-expand-dabbrev-as-symbol, which defaults to
t. Basically, if non-nil, hippie-expand will try to expand the word under the point including symbol characters, which is not what I personally want. I want to only expand the word characters under my point, so I've set it to
(setq hippie-expand-dabbrev-as-symbol nil)

Stupid VNC Trick
At my office I have a dual monitor setup, and at home I have two monitors as well, so most of my VNC sessions are wide (3280 pixels).
Which presents a problem on the occasions I decide to work from a coffee shop or some other place where I only have my laptop's screen. How do you effectively interact with a VNC session where the session is twice the size of the physical screen?
Clearly scrolling the screen with the mouse is a lose.
My solution is to have two VNC viewers running simultaneously. One shows the right half of the session, and the other shows the left half. That way I can easily CTRL-TAB from one side to the other.
Simple, but pretty effective.

…it would look like this:
There would be a huge open barn with a chandelier swinging from the ceiling.
Lovely, fresh organic produce would be available seasonally.
Every inch would be lovely to look at.
It would be family welcoming with lots of play areas for children.
There would be places to sit beside a warm fire.
And not just any old fire pit, a beautiful, huge metal disk of a fire pit.
There would be a few farm animals and horse drawn wagon rides out to the pumpkin patch.
And there would be a little store where everything would be golden and warm and seasonal, with a little bakery and good coffee and a few tables and chairs.
This place really does exist. It is North Arm Farm and it's conveniently right on my way to the cabin. If you ever head up to Whistler, you should really go a little further and stop by. It's a lovely place.

Poet Robert Burns was once a patron of the Theatre Royal in Dumfries, where the young JM Barrie, author of Peter Pan, was inspired to write.
A trust has worked for five years to secure £5.2m in funds to restore the dilapidated 18th century building.
But Dumfries and Galloway Council has rejected the plans, saying they would over-develop the B-listed site.
The blow now leaves the backers at risk of losing their funding, which comes from the local authority, Europe, the Lottery and a range of arts and heritage bodies.
The Guild of Players, the amateur dramatics group which runs the 213-year-old theatre, said it was unable to renovate the building any other way.
Frank Ryan, a spokesman for the trust, said: "This is a huge blow. We could appeal to the Scottish Executive but that would be costly and time consuming.
"It would probably result in us losing all our funding. But if we alter the plans it won't be commercially viable as a theatre. It's very frustrating."
Under the proposals, the facade of the theatre on Shakespeare Street would be retained but part of the site would be demolished, rebuilt and extended.
Charlie Chaplin
Inside would be space for a 300-seat auditorium, an 80-seat studio and rehearsal room, a media suite and a cafe bar.
The local authority, which provided a grant of £2.5m last year to revamp the theatre, said it was back to the drawing board.
A spokeswoman said: "This is an unfortunate setback but the application in its present form has had to be rejected on planning grounds.
"Our planning department felt the trust was trying to fit a quart into a pint pot and it would have been better to go to a completely different site."
Among the famous names to have tread the boards there include silver screen comedy legends Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel.

Man, does he swingand he has one hell of a good time doing it Chris Thompson, All About Jazz
For over three decades, drummer Steve Johns has been a major presence on the jazz scene, collaborating with many of the musics most renowned practitioners. Artists from all points on the musical spectrum have consistently sought him out because they know his musicianship, versatility, deep commitment to his craft, and enthuaism will enrich any performance. Leaders such as Nat Adderley, Stanley Turrentine, Larry Coryell, Randy Brecker, Ronnie Cuber, Jimmy Owens, Dr. Billy Taylor, Benny Carter, and Sonny Fortune appreciated the fact that, no matter what the gig, from the worlds greatest concert stages to the smallest clubs, Steve brings the same total commitment, utmost professionalism, and pure joy at making music. He is also a total musician, who continues to expand his musical horizons by studying piano and trumpet.
Steve Johns was born into a musical family in Boston in 1960, and began playing drums at the age of nine. His mother, Goldie Tyler Johns, was a songwriter, and three of her brothers were saxophonists, including the legendary Jimmy Tyler, who was Steves primary influence and inspiration. It was Jimmy who encouraged the youngster to study formally with Alan Dawson, and his three years with the master percussionist and educator enabled him to make rapid progress. While attending Natick High School, Steve played in both the concert and jazz bands and earned chairs in both the district and state jazz ensembles. After graduating in 1979, Steve continued his studies at the New England Conservatory of Music where he received a thorough grounding in classical percussion from Vic Firth and Fred Buda, while playing with such local jazz greats as James Williams, Miroslav Vituous, Jeff Berlin, and Mike Stern. At NEC he met his wife-to-be, Debbie Keefe Johns, a fine saxophonist in her own right. In 1982, Steve made the move to New York, quickly establishing himself as an inspirational player at home in any musical style. Over the ensuing three decades, Steve has worked in every conceivable setting, from big bands such as the Gil Evans and the Count Basie orchestras, to accompanying singers like Jessye Norman, Helen Merrill, Diane Schuur, and Dakota Staton, to more experimental settings such as the Thomas Chapin Trio and groups led by Marty Ehrlich and Mario Pavone. He has toured worldwide as the regular drummer for Sonny Fortune, Benny Carter, Dr. Billy Taylor, and many other luminaries. His five-year tenure as a member of Taylors trio brought him wide exposure, including 75 performances for the pianists NPR program Jazz at the Kennedy Center with such guests as Wynton Marsalis, Nancy Wilson, Milt Jackson, and Randy Brecker.
Steve has appeared on over seventy albums by Leon Thomas, George Russell, Thomas Chapin, Dr. Billy Taylor, Houston Person, John McNeil, Sonny Fortune, Peter Leitch, Gary Smulyan, and Bob DeVos, among many others. In addition to his work as a sideman, Steve is also a member of the collective group Native Soul, and has been co-leader on recording projects by that group (One Mind, 2012, American Showplace, Soul Step, Talking Drum Records), as well as on an album with saxophonist Peter Brainin (No Saints, No Sinners, Playscape).
In addition to his extensive credits as a player, Steve has long been active as an educator. While with the Billy Taylor Trio, he took part in over a hundred lecture/demonstrations throughout the U.S., and has regularly served on the faculty for educational programs at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Long Island University, Montclair State University, the Litchfield Jazz Camp, the Vermont Jazz Center, and Jazz House Kids. Steve and Debbie co-direct the JCC Thurnauer TeenTown Jazz Program in Tenafly, NJ, which has featured such guests as Larry Coryell, Bernie Williams, and Jimmy Owens.
Steve and Debbies musical talents have been passed directly to a new generation. Their son, bassist Daryl Johns, while still a teenager, has already made his mark as one of the most highly touted musicians to burst onto the scene in recent years. A highlight of Steves career was the 2015 release of his CD aptly titled Family, on which Steve, Debbie, and Daryl were joined by guitarists Dave Stryker and Bob DeVos.
The consummate team player, Steve Johns has always managed to retain his own singular sound and distinctive musical persona while serving the common purpose of any group he is with. "One thing I love about jazz is having the freedom to express your own style," he told once told Star Ledger jazz writer Zan Stewart. "I knew from a young age you have to have your own voice."
. . . Johns has developed into a significant jazz drumming stylist
Every stroke is meaningful and has a definite purpose. It was positively exhilarating to hear and watch Johns throughout the live Turning Point Cafe set
--David A. Orthmann, All About Jazz, 7/29/10.
The crackle and thunder that Steve Johns creates at the drum kit tells you why he's been a favorite of so many jazz aces - among them pianist Billy Taylor, trumpeter Randy Brecker, guitarist Bob DeVos, and saxophonists Stanley Turrentine and Sonny Fortune. Zan Stewart, Star Ledger, 5/23/08.
Steve Johns, on drums, provided the songs' rhythm and heartbeat. . . --Nancy Stetson, Naples Daily News (FL), 1/15/05.

One American seldom receives the attention he rightly deserves. Noah Webster, Jr., does not often come immediately to mind when one considers those who helped the United States during its infancy. He should. His services were many and unique in the earliest stages of America.
Even as a boy, Noah was fascinated with language and education. He was troubled by the lack of interest shown by others in formal schooling, and the lack of books and proper facilities bothered him even more.
When the fires of the Revolution broke out in the early 1770's, Noah was a student at Yale. Young and impressionable, he was singed by the flames of patriotism. He longed for a chance to join liberty's cause. He wrote down his thoughts about freedom and government, sharing them with leaders who would put together the United States Constitution. Many of his ideas were incorporated into the document.
But more than a spokesman for democratic government, Noah Webster was a champion for youth and education. He knew what books needed to be written, wrote them, and fought for their acceptance within the school framework. Through his adult life, he saw the need for developing the mind while enriching the soul.
"A man should set goals which would please God and assist his fellow man," observed Noah Webster, Jr.
Surely, Noah took his own advice. As a boy growing up, he turned to the Bible as his code of behavior and his core of learning. It is not surprising that one of Webster's final literary contributions, and in his opinion, his "most glorious achievement," was his own wording of the King James Bible.
Today, Webster is with us still. But he merits a place of honor beyond a name stamped on dictionaries around the world. He was a man who served his fellow man and his country with unselfish devotion. More importantly, he served his God with faith and love.

Well we are all awaiting the Chancellors Autumn Statement of further cuts to those who need it most when the new Tory Minister for Disabled Ester McVey MP comes out with another blindingly obvious piece of tory spin . Apparently while accepting some people with disabilities do work and some others could,for many that is never going to be an option, the daily grind of sickness and ill-health for mostmake it almost impossible even with support. Where are the jobs these people are supposed to be getting when we can't find decent work for able-bodied people, especially the young disillusioned youth we now have in UK. Well probably via the already failed Workfare Programmes with very little support at all,given the fact most employers wont adapt the workplaces because of costs involved in an already dismal climate let alone be able to get insurance,should things go wrong. Unemployment is it highest since the last Tory leader Maggie Thatcher was in power. According to Guardian the ONS figures and Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development research show half the people counted as newly employed are on workfare, government training schemes, or are self-employed, mostly in part-time, low-paid jobs like gardening and cleaning, in which they may be worse off as they lose benefits. Unemployment was at 2.51m when this government came to power in May 2010. It's now at 2.53m, even on their fiddled figures
Disabled people must not worry about the new assessment tests that could lead to their benefits being cut, the new Minister for Disabled People has said.
"I am saying, 'Do not be fearful of this. This could be positive for you'," said Esther McVey,
"I guess that will happen overtime and we just have to reassure people really."
Some people would see their benefit cut, she said, arguing that the new payments are "not a static benefit", adding: "People do come off it, people do get better."
NOTE the words "Could" & "Guess" they are important ones,which means even she knows its going to be another Tory failure.
This Government stumbles like a drunk on a Saturday night drinking binge from pillar to post in the hope they get home safely,never knowing if they are walking in right direction.
This woman is sadly out of touch if she thinks these policies will benefit anyone else but the government, the national debt alone has risen by £150bn with nothing to show for it, money wasted scheme on after scheme which like the workfare programme has failed abysmally,with more U-Turns to come . Even her own constituents are barracking her.
They Blame labour for the mess we are in, but seriously if Gordon Brown had done this he would have been hung, drawn, quartered by public and press, yet people in this country continue to turn a blind eye to obvious failings and for something the ordinary public are not to blame for,while giving their rich banking chums a tax break,you couldn't make this up! Gordon Brown must be howling of laughter in his front room at night watching them make mistake after mistake.
The Reality is MOST disabled people can't work,are not scroungers,and those who do work do it with much-needed support,but with threats to Mobility Cars next October when PIP comes in and the savage slashing of Severe Disability Allowance in April 2013, which enables many to pay for extra costs for being disabled to enable them to pay for services they cannot do themselves,or someone to help them do their jobs this can only mean the outcomes for many are very dark indeed.
By her own admission they want to slash 20% over next three years to disability benefits so how will this benefit anyone.? The most vulnerable in society must be protected they quote yet this slash and burn train crash policies the Government are doing will not help the economy,it wont give people money in their pockets to spend to enable growth,with other rising costs those on Minimum Wage are already scraping by,will go under financially causing debts like never seen before,and with the Benefit Cap and the Bedroom Tax come April 2013 and the rise in food banks and homelessness with continue to rise,along with the crime rates. It is time people of the UK united and got rid of this incompetent bunch and keep them on the political 'Naughty Step' for a very long time .

When I was in practice, I tried to help families avoid too-late nursing home decisions. Well before the need became obvious (often as soon as I presented the Level of Care Prescription [LOCRx],) I would ask caregivers, "What changes (in the senior, yourself, or the overall situation) would make you decide that you could no longer care for him at home?"
My goal was to draw a line. As our relationship continued and the illness progressed, I could remind the family of the boundary they had set. Then, I would raise the nursing home issue, so they didn't have to.
Many families realized that their loved one's illness was already so advanced and the caregiver already so overwhelmed that they had crossed that line months or even years before I asked the question.
Other caregivers used those boundaries to make proactive plans. Each time changes brought them closer to the "impossible point," families recruited more resources and moved the line. They knew that the nursing home would be the only alternative when they could not provide more resources. When that point came, they didn't feel guilty because they also knew they'd done all they could.
Families could have more good time with their loved ones if they did not wait until the last minute to use the nursing home. Allowing the staff to handle the day-to-day care frees caregivers to do things with and for and with their loved ones, not to them. It also allows families to concentrate on advocating for their senior.
Stay in Control of the Care Plan
Your senior is in the nursing home, but you are still the caregiver. You do not give up the rights or the responsibility for your seniors' care, but you can serve their best interests only when you are a strong advocate. It is important to understand how to get the information you need and voice your concerns effectively.
It Takes a Village to Raise a Child AND to Support a Senior: Make Other Families Your Allies
Families of residents in long-term care facilities can join forces to watch out for loved ones.
Changes in behavior can be early signs of illness. Roommates often see changes before the professionals do, alerting the staff before conditions deteriorate. Get to know your loved one's roommate's family. Good relations make the environment more pleasant for the seniors, but they also offer mutually supportive relationships for caregivers, as well as an early warning system.
Get to Know the Nursing Home Staff, Too
This is not just a ploy; it is a way to develop relationships that contribute to a cooperative, healthful, and pleasant situation for everyone. Security guards, receptionists, dietary, and housekeeping staff can offer useful information about the facility. Do not expect these workers to be spies or informants, but informal, casual conversations can give you impressions about the quality of life in the facility. This information can either ease your mind, let you know it is time to voice a concern, or guide your decision about making a change.
Follow the Chain of Command
Families can become frustrated when they don't get the answers they need. Sometimes, this happens because they asked the wrong person.
The registered nurse (RN) on your senior's care unit should be your first point of contact about any concerns or complaints and for information about medicines, specific treatments, and changes in health status. Certified nursing assistants (CNA) and the nursing aides who provide direct care are the best source of information about the residents' daily lives: eating, continence, participating in care and programs. If the nursing staff cannot resolve your concerns, or if there are serious or repeated problems, contact the director of nursing and then the nursing home administrator. If the question involves a health issue or a medication, contact the doctor's office. Leaving messages at the nursing home is not an effective way to communicate with the doctor, because they don't know the doctor's most current schedule. The office is command central even if the doc has seen your relative only in the nursing home.

While many people are now starting to use home security systems, so people are still skeptical about having cameras in and outside their homes. Many feel that it is a big invasion of privacy and they simply don't like the idea of something monitoring their surroundings at all times. However, cameras are now becoming an integral part of home security and many people now feel a lot better off now they have cameras. Here are some of the reasons why they are considered to be so important.
Live Or Recording Cameras
The main reason why so many people now appreciate having cameras in and outside their home is because of the flexibility. Now people have a choice as to whether or not they want a camera that can show people what is happening live, or if they want to see recorded footage back later. Some cameras are able to provide both of these options at once, which is naturally very appealing to many people.
The great thing about live cameras is that they are now viewable on mobile devices. This means that if you have had an alert saying something has happened at your home, you will be able to see what is happening in your home live through the cameras. This is obviously very appealing to people who want to be able to keep a close eye on their home at all times when they leave the house.
Recording cameras can also be very helpful. They are often activated when motion is detected in certain areas of your home. This means that you will only have recorded activity when something happens. Basically this means that the camera will not be on at all times, so you will not have to feel like you are constantly being watched.
Using The Latest Cameras
The amazing thing is that with the updates to technology, cameras are now becoming more respectful of people's privacy that ever before. Like we have just seen with the recording camera, many of them remain turned off when you want them to be and then activated when they detect something wrong. Not only does this prevent you from using lots of energy to keep the camera running, but it also gives you a little more privacy as well.
Ultimately, cameras are now considered to be the most important aspect of home security. They can act as a deterrent and help keep your home safe when you are away. To learn more, check out our review of the best home security cameras.

Caroline Rominger
Switzerland's Caroline Rominger, Daniela Prorokova from the Czech Republic and German amateur Franziska Friedrich are tied for the lead at 2 under par after the first round of the Azores Ladies Open at Golf de Batalha.
Rominger, currently ranked 7th in the LETAS ranking is hoping to improve her position this week with the top five firmly in her sights. It is the first time the Swiss has competed in the Azores Ladies Open and she will be hoping to secure her first win on LETAS this week.
"I played really well today, it was an easy day game, as like in golf, hitting many fairways and greens. Of course I could have had less putts, but it was good, "said the Swiss who made five top-ten in the last seven tournaments she has played, including two top-3 finishes.
"I liked the course, it was like being on holiday, beautiful views, lots of trees and flowers. I liked the dark sand bunkers, I've seen before in Tenerife. I am playing well. On this golf course it's important to hit all types of shots. It is important to hit drives in the fairway, because there is not much room on the sides", commented Rominger.
With nine of the top ten ranked players competing this week, there is strong competition for the order of merit points on offer. Top placed Emma Westin opened with a three over par, 75, to be tied for 11th position. Second ranked Lina Boqvist shot a one over par, 73, to lie in 8th place, with third ranked Isabella Ramsay 18th at four over par.
Sixteen-year-old amateur Leonar Guimaraes Bessa was the best placed Portuguese player with an opening 74 (+2) to be tied 9th.

If you set out to follow God's Word and his plan for women and be a Christian wife and mother, you NEED to surround yourself with Godly mentors. These are women who also share the same goal - to be a Godly woman who builds up her house and is focused on God, her family and her home. Seek out these women in your area and online. Let their words, talk or fellowship encourage your soul to be better and to love your husband and children as the Word of God instructs.
I've found that if I hang around women who are selfish, criticize their husbands and neglect their children - it will discourage me and prevent me from staying focused! There are some, that we can BE mentors to, but if they are not interested in pursuing that route, don't let your good become the enemy of the very best.
Godly mentors will encourage and edify you to be better. They will provoke you to good works. They will shake your mind up to get your priorities straight again. Hint; it isn't Facebook! I remember 2 times I was on Facebook and both times I was saddened by what it did to me. It took me away, like a vacuum, from the very best people in my life - God, my husband and my precious children. Sorry Facebook, you may glitter and dazzle but I won't let you take me away with your deception of "friends" and forsake what, and who, is truly important in life!
I've surrounded myself with Godly mentors. I've found a great group of women that encourage me in the Lord, in being a wife and being a loving mother. They are very focused on their husbands, children and homes and it boosts my spirits. I also read blogs and books of the same caliber of women to sharpen myself and help me in this continuing journey we face as Christian women.
Don't forget your children! Make sure they have mentors as well. We have a wonderful, Godly youth group full of youth that truly seek God and live the life outside the church. I'm always amazed at the fervor in the hearts to be what God wants them to be. It truly makes a difference when your children have others to look up to and be encouraged by as well.

Why is "Character Development" a dirty word in Romance?
Okay fine, it's two words 🙂 My point is, I've been pubbing for almost two years now, and I've published four romance novels in the last year (holy crap, with a full time job to boot – no wonder I'm tired!). And I've had a lot of reviews, mostly positive. But I'll ask you all, because it baffles me – why do so many readers (not you Team Vance members, or else you wouldn't be here) dislike it when I do character development?
For me, there are two important things in CD – backstory and research. A character's backstory in the Vance Canon has always ended up being either his childhood/youth, or at least enough of his life to show how he got to be who he is. "A Little Too Broken" goes back as far as Tom's injury in Afghanistan, just after realizing he might be gay, and Jamie's toxic relationship with the emotional abuser who gave him HIV. For "Given the Circumstances" I had to go back to Roger and Brian's childhood to explain how they became who they are at the start of the story, and who they turned into after that.
Research means that if I write a story about a Special Forces guy, I make sure that I know something about that. For Sam's Reluctant Submission, I read "Chosen Soldier" and "Inside Delta Force," the Army's SERE manual, and innumerable web pages. I wasn't going to fuck that up – these guys do some seriously dangerous and important shit, and even if I was going to write a "mere" erotic short I was going to get it right.. Same for Colum's Viking Captivity – I spent more time reading books on Vikings than I did writing the stories.
And a lot of people DON'T LIKE THAT! They say, too much sports in this romance about athletes, for instance. But for me, if you just say (and you've heard this pet peeve before), "Here's Rocky the Rock Star and he Really Rocks, here's some sex," then why should I care if he falls in love or not? If characters are nothing more than the same paper dolls with different outfits (rock star, soldier, barbarian, billionaire, vampire, collect 'em all)…who cares?
And I suppose, I think, I guess, that a lot of readers have their own ideas of "the rock star" or "the billionaire," and are only looking for the paper doll, they don't want an author to get between them and their idea of what a hot rock star is like. I don't get that. I like, no, I want, need, to surrender to an author, I want that author to create a real person who I want to spend time with.
Honestly? I think my approach is much better. Is that massively egotistical? Hell yeah! If you didn't have a gigantic ego in this business, you'd give up on day one. I said it before and will say it again – the day is coming when M/M Romance/Erotica BLOWS UP like 50 Shades did. And I want to be the E. L. James of M/M. I want to be The King! I did cut corners on some of my stories, and that's why I went back and did my "digital remastering" on all of them (except Worst Best Luck, my red-headed stepchild, which I just can't face yet because I know it's not up to my quality standards). Because when I blow up big, I can't have anything crappy in my catalog. When one book blows up big, people go back and consume your backlist, and I want to make sure that it's all good.
Maybe I'm totally wrong. Maybe it'll blow up big, and I'll be the also-ran because I did all that research for GTC on NCAA regulations on countable athletic activity time and division transfer rules and draft eligibility, and for the majority of people, that bogged down the story. So it goes! I gotta be me.
Umm, yeah, so anyway…your opinion in comments? Why do *you* think some readers don't like CD?

Pre-listing/Pre-purchase appraisals
Whether you choose to sell your home on your own or use the assistance of a real estate agent, a professional appraisal can help you make a better educated decision when determining your selling price.
Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. It's easy for them to step in and give you the information to help you make your decision. Appraiser fees are based on efforts to complete the report and not a percentage of the sales price. So seeking a professional appraisal can often help homeowners make the best decisions on investing in their homes and setting a fair sales price.
Tax Assessment Appeal
Most real estate and property taxes are based upon the value of the property. When the taxing agency values your property at a higher rate than the actual value, you are paying too much in taxes.
Often, matters like this can be resolved with a phone call. However, if after discussing your assessment with your local taxing authority you still feel as though your property was overvalued, a professional, independent, third-party appraiser is often your best bet in proving your case. Most successful appeals require that the property have an appraisal, an expert opinion of the actual value. That's where we come in. .
There are many different procedures for appealing assessments so it's important to enlist the help of a professional appraisal firm that's experienced and trained in the ins and outs of your particular jurisdiction.
The task of settling an estate, while stressful, is very important. It's up to you as a trustee to carry out the wishes of the deceased as quickly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much sympathy to the feelings of everyone left behind.
Attorneys and accountants count on our understanding when calculating real estate values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. Settling an estate most often depends on an appraisal to suggest market value for the residential property in question. It is often the case that the time an appraisal is needed will deviate the date of death. We assure that we are accustomed to the procedures and requirements needed by the federal and Illinois revenue agencies to provide a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our company to confidentiality, assuring the strongest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.
All too often, people do not fully fathom the demand to have a complete appraisal report produced in support of the numbers shown in tax documents filed with the IRS.
An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to support the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report supported by our professional staff, you will have the knowledge that the numbers provided in the report will definitely demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well founded and correct.
Having a professional gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and Illinois state agency requirements. You need not stress over anything, because we will be there to support our work if they are ever refuted.
Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including who gets the house. There are generally two options regarding the shared residence – it can be put on the market and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to commission an appraisal of the residence.
A divorce appraisal needs a well-supported, expert report that will hold up to a judge. When you order an appraisal us, you are assured the best in service with professional courtesy and top notch analysis. Working through the sensitive needs of a divorce situation is not a problem for us.
Illinois attorneys and accountants rely on our opinions when figuring out real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value opinion. For lawyers handling a divorce, your case's material facts customarily require an appraisal to determine market value for the residential real estate involved. Often the divorce date differs from the date you requested the appraisal. We're accustomed to the processes and what's requisite to develop a retrospective appraisal that has an effective date and Market Value opinion matching the date of divorce. The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) contains an ethics provision which means the highest amount of confidentiality, resulting in the utmost discretion.
We specialize in appraising single-family residences, condominiums, and planned unit developments (PUD).

The Right Brain Path
The Right Brain Path:
Creative Expression Greases the Wheel at any Stage of the Journey
Magic Potion –
Integrating Dance, Song, Music or other Right Brain Activities
While on "The Path" to Self Growth and Healing
Each person has the ability to do one or more of these creatively expressive activities, when the goal is not performing. Processing through an expressive art, which Joy calls a "Right Brain Activity", allows for the capacity to access thoughts, feelings, memories and awareness' that would otherwise be blocked by the minds "defense systems". Deeper truths easily rise to the surface, the heart opens, and shifts occur that often words alone could never access. Oftentimes the transformation occurs without any linier understanding what so ever. Significant Shifts just simply occur through opening other areas of the brain that are triggered by participating in a creative or "doing it for the joy of it" activity. Often times the shift magically takes the form of opened creativity, enhanced joyfulness or a willingness to take risks or think outside of the box.
To experience this for yourself, make a point to seek out these types of classes and activities in your area, or check out Joy's unique forms of private sessions, come to or set up a workshop in your area, or have your organization book a participatory event with Joy from the Joy of Life Series, or order Joy's new Book "Now I Can Sing."
You can also check out the calendar for classes and events in the Palm Beach Florida area.
All of Joy's work be it private sessions, workshops, or participatory events in some way integrates one of the expressive arts, most commonly voice, movement, drumming, writing and occasionally visual art, theater or other forms.
Private work with Joy ¤ Joy of Life Series ¤ Workshops and Professional Trainings
Play Your Part in
"The Great Turning…"…returning our culture to a more balanced, healthy and natural state.
One-by-one, as each individual shifts their life from business-as-usual—regimented, controlled, repetitive or chosen by values of others—to self-governed, creative and a pure expression of soul essence, mass consciousness on-the-whole, will shift. To do the work involved in such a transformation not only brings more joy and aliveness to one's own life but paves the way for many others. So if greatly improving your own life circumstances, health or state of mind is not motivation enough, now do it for your children, their children, and the planet in general. The changes you make WILL affect those around you, as well as those who come after you.
This explains why the old adage "be the change you seek" is so very powerful. As Einstein said, "Solutions to our problems cannot come from the same mind that created them."
The work with Joy, private or in group, will help you permanently shift the mind that will create your future.
Finding Peace, Joy and Direction during Life Transitions
Yes, these can be challenging times where stress, fear or confusion about what to do next can undermine even our best efforts to stay at peace about it all. In the midst of the confusion there is a way to proceed that is most accurate and authentic for each of us. All of the turmoil or change is just life's attempt to have the old fall apart so that it can all come together in a new and better way. What is truly new and creative is born out of the empty space. But how do we let It fall apart without falling apart ourselves? And how do we find our way in all of these huge and unsettling changes?
Let Joy's unique way of working smooth the way…

I had a great vacation where I took opportunity to learn JBPM and how to setup JBPM in Wildfly. Below are the steps to setup a fully functional process designer where we can develop a process with dynamic UI and deploy it in a RESTful service and call the application using an angular sample and invoke a human workflow. For some reason, the Jboss does not start when you are in a company firewall.
- Have java7 or java8 in your machine, Download and unzip wildfly-8.2.0.Final.zip into a folder
- Go to <WILDFLYHOME>/bin directory and run add-user.bat, create 2 users,
- Management user: admin (pass)/ with no role
- Application user: kieserver /kieserver1!/ with kie-server as the role
- Application user: user4/pass/ with admin as the role
- Go to <WILDFLYHOME>/standalone/configuration and rename standalone.xml as standalone1.xml and and rename standalone-full.xml to standalone.xml and replace below code under security-domains block in the xml file.
<security-domain name="other" cache-type="default">
<login-module code="Remoting" flag="optional">
<module-option name="password-stacking" value="useFirstPass"/>
<login-module code="RealmUsersRoles" flag="required">
<module-option name="usersProperties" value="${jboss.server.config.dir}/application-users.properties"/>
<module-option name="rolesProperties" value="${jboss.server.config.dir}/application-roles.properties"/>
<module-option name="realm" value="ApplicationRealm"/>
<module-option name="password-stacking" value="useFirstPass"/>
<security-domain name="jboss-web-policy" cache-type="default">
<policy-module code="Delegating" flag="required"/>
<security-domain name="jboss-ejb-policy" cache-type="default">
<policy-module code="Delegating" flag="required"/>
- Go to <WILDFLYHOME>/bin and run standalone.bat -Dorg.kie.server.id=first-kie-server -Dorg.kie.server.location=http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server -Dorg.jbpm.server.ext.disabled=true
- Once the jboss is up, go to browser and type http://localhost:9990 and it will prompt with username and password, type in, admin/pass it will allow you in, you are in JBoss admin console
- Go to http://downloads.jboss.org/drools/release/snapshot/master/index.html and download kie-drools-wb-wildfly8.war and kie-server-ee7.war and rename them as kie-workbench.war and kie-server.war respectively
- Go to deployments and upload kie-workbench.war, it will take few minutes to upload,
- Once it is done, go to deployments again and upload, kie-server.war
- Go to https://github.com/mswiderski/jbpm-examples/tree/master/ and download the zip file and unzip it and go to jbpm-angular-js folder and copy the app folder and zip it and rename the zip file to war file and go to JBoss admin console and deploy the war file
- Go to http://localhost:8080/kie-workbench login as user4/pass to log on to kie-workbench and go to hiring process and to go to process explorer and build and deploy the application
- Install RestClient and follow http://mswiderski.blogspot.com/2015/09/unified-kie-execution-server-part-1.html to part 4. Once you follow the instruction, please change the port to 8080 from 8230
- It will also show you how to use Angular.
Let me know your feedback. Also try various processes like HR, Evaluation, and other processes in Kie-workbench.
