It has two major branches, the TIBIAL NERVE and the PERONEAL NERVE.Bupivacaine: A widely used local anesthetic agent.Spinal Dysraphism: Congenital defects of closure of one or more vertebral arches, which may be associated with malformations of the spinal cord, nerve roots, congenital fibrous bands, lipomas, and congenital cysts. These malformations range from mild (e.g., SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA) to severe, including rachischisis where there is complete failure of neural tube and spinal cord fusion, resulting in exposure of the spinal cord at the surface. Spinal dysraphism includes all forms of spina bifida. The open form is called SPINA BIFIDA CYSTICA and the closed form is SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA.

It commonly occurs in cervical and lumbar SPONDYLOSIS.Decerebrate State: A condition characterized by abnormal posturing of the limbs that is associated with injury to the brainstem. This may occur as a clinical manifestation or induced experimentally in animals. The extensor reflexes are exaggerated leading to rigid extension of the limbs accompanied by hyperreflexia and opisthotonus. This condition is usually caused by lesions which occur in the region of the brainstem that lies between the red nuclei and the vestibular nuclei. In contrast, decorticate rigidity is characterized by flexion of the elbows and wrists with extension of the legs and feet. The causative lesion for this condition is located above the red nuclei and usually consists of diffuse cerebral damage.

In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a NEUROTRANSMITTER that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific synaptic receptors, activating them. The activated receptors modulate specific ion channels and/or second-messenger systems in the postsynaptic cell. In electrical synaptic transmission, electrical signals are communicated as an ionic current flow across ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES.Spinal Cord Vascular Diseases: Pathological processes involving any of the BLOOD VESSELS feeding the SPINAL CORD, such as the anterior and paired posterior spinal arteries or their many branches.

Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.Strychnine: An alkaloid found in the seeds of STRYCHNOS NUX-VOMICA. It is a competitive antagonist at glycine receptors and thus a convulsant. It has been used as an analeptic, in the treatment of nonketotic hyperglycinemia and sleep apnea, and as a rat poison.Electrophysiology: The study of the generation and behavior of electrical charges in living organisms particularly the nervous system and the effects of electricity on living organisms.Cells, Cultured: Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth.

To produce knockouts, using RECOMBINANT DNA technology, the normal DNA sequence of the gene being studied is altered to prevent synthesis of a normal gene product. Cloned cells in which this DNA alteration is successful are then injected into mouse EMBRYOS to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to yield a strain in which all the cells of the mouse contain the disrupted gene. Knockout mice are used as EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODELS for diseases (DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL) and to clarify the functions of the genes.Nociception: Sensing of noxious mechanical, thermal or chemical stimuli by NOCICEPTORS. It is the sensory component of visceral and tissue pain (NOCICEPTIVE PAIN).Random Allocation: A process involving chance used in therapeutic trials or other research endeavor for allocating experimental subjects, human or animal, between treatment and control groups, or among treatment groups.

Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator.Astrocytes: A class of large neuroglial (macroglial) cells in the central nervous system - the largest and most numerous neuroglial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytes (from "star" cells) are irregularly shaped with many long processes, including those with "end feet" which form the glial (limiting) membrane and directly and indirectly contribute to the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER. They regulate the extracellular ionic and chemical environment, and "reactive astrocytes" (along with MICROGLIA) respond to injury.Intervertebral Disc Displacement: An INTERVERTEBRAL DISC in which the nucleus pulposus has protruded through surrounding fibrocartilage. This occurs most frequently in the lower lumbar region.Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein: An intermediate filament protein found only in glial cells or cells of glial origin. MW 51,000.Liver: A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances.Nerve Fibers, Unmyelinated: A class of nerve fibers as defined by their nerve sheath arrangement. The AXONS of the unmyelinated nerve fibers are small in diameter and usually several are surrounded by a single MYELIN SHEATH. They conduct low-velocity impulses, and represent the majority of peripheral sensory and autonomic fibers, but are also found in the BRAIN and SPINAL CORD.Peripheral Nerves: The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons. The connective tissue layers include, from the outside to the inside, the epineurium, the perineurium, and the endoneurium.Dogs: The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065)Genetic Vectors: DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.Myelin Sheath: The lipid-rich sheath surrounding AXONS in both the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The myelin sheath is an electrical insulator and allows faster and more energetically efficient conduction of impulses. The sheath is formed by the cell membranes of glial cells (SCHWANN CELLS in the peripheral and OLIGODENDROGLIA in the central nervous system). Deterioration of the sheath in DEMYELINATING DISEASES is a serious clinical problem.Syringomyelia: Longitudinal cavities in the spinal cord, most often in the cervical region, which may extend for multiple spinal levels. The cavities are lined by dense, gliogenous tissue and may be associated with SPINAL CORD NEOPLASMS; spinal cord traumatic injuries; and vascular malformations. Syringomyelia is marked clinically by pain and PARESTHESIA, muscular atrophy of the hands, and analgesia with thermoanesthesia of the hands and arms, but with the tactile sense preserved (sensory dissociation). Lower extremity spasticity and incontinence may also develop. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1269)Mice, Inbred ICRAnalgesia: Methods of PAIN relief that may be used with or in place of ANALGESICS.Tomography, X-Ray Computed: Tomography using x-ray transmission and a computer algorithm to reconstruct the image.Reflex, Monosynaptic: A reflex in which the AFFERENT NEURONS synapse directly on the EFFERENT NEURONS, without any INTERCALATED NEURONS. (Lockard, Desk Reference for Neuroscience, 2nd ed.)Cell Count: The number of CELLS of a specific kind, usually measured per unit volume or area of sample.Nerve Fibers: Slender processes of NEURONS, including the AXONS and their glial envelopes (MYELIN SHEATH). Nerve fibers conduct nerve impulses to and from the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.Retrospective Studies: Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.N-Methylaspartate: An amino acid that, as the D-isomer, is the defining agonist for the NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate receptors (RECEPTORS, NMDA).Peripheral Nerve Injuries: Injuries to the PERIPHERAL NERVES.Survival of Motor Neuron 2 Protein: A SMN complex protein that is closely-related to SURVIVAL OF MOTOR NEURON 1 PROTEIN. In humans, the protein is encoded by an often duplicated gene found near the inversion centromere of a large inverted region of CHROMOSOME 5.Neural Conduction: The propagation of the NERVE IMPULSE along the nerve away from the site of an excitation stimulus.Stilbamidines: STILBENES with AMIDINES attached.Contrast Media: Substances used to allow enhanced visualization of tissues.Neuronal Plasticity: The capacity of the NERVOUS SYSTEM to change its reactivity as the result of successive activations.Contusions: Injuries resulting in hemorrhage, usually manifested in the skin.Microglia: The third type of glial cell, along with astrocytes and oligodendrocytes (which together form the macroglia). Microglia vary in appearance depending on developmental stage, functional state, and anatomical location; subtype terms include ramified, perivascular, ameboid, resting, and activated. Microglia clearly are capable of phagocytosis and play an important role in a wide spectrum of neuropathologies. They have also been suggested to act in several other roles including in secretion (e.g., of cytokines and neural growth factors), in immunological processing (e.g., antigen presentation), and in central nervous system development and remodeling.Inflammation: A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.Rats, Inbred LewNeurosurgical Procedures: Surgery performed on the nervous system or its parts.Skin: The outer covering of the body that protects it from the environment. It is composed of the DERMIS and the EPIDERMIS.

Community policing is a strategic consideration for contemporary policing, especially when police organisations worldwide increasingly seek cost-effective and sustainable methods of combating crime. The principle of community policing recognises the community and its leaders as equal partners in the prevention and reduction of crime. Hence, there is a need for research to interrogate how different police organisations have considered community policing as a panacea to their policing challenges. This study sought to evaluate the role of traditional leaders in community policing and crime prevention in the community of Chief Madliwa, Nkayi District in Matabeleland North Province of Zimbabwe. Interviews were carried out with eight village heads, four headmen and three key informants. Four focus group discussions were conducted to collect the villagers' insight on the role of traditional leaders in community policing and crime prevention. Participants were identified using purposive and convenience sampling. The findings revealed that community policing is an effective strategy for crime prevention and that traditional leaders play a pivotal role in the success of community policing and crime prevention. Traditional leaders play an integral role in the recruitment of members of the Neighbourhood Watch Committee, assist with organising the business community to cooperate with the police in the fight against crime and play an important role in organising the community to attend crime awareness campaigns arranged by the police.

About Evelyn Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire
Evelyn Emily Mary Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire GCVO JP (née Petty-FitzMaurice; 27 August 1870 – 2 April 1960) was the wife of Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire. She was born the elder daughter of the politician Henry Petty-FitzMaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne and grew up amidst public life. Evelyn's marriage to Cavendish, the heir of the 8th Duke of Devonshire, led to her becoming Duchess of Devonshire in 1908. With her position, she oversaw the reorganisation of the Devonshire estates and presided over four English houses and one Irish castle.
Evelyn held the position of Mistress of the Robes to Queen Mary from 1910 until 1916, when she accompanied her husband upon his appointment as Governor General of Canada. The Duchess held the position Viceregal Consort until the Duke's term ended in 1921. Upon returning to England, the Duchess again was appointed Mistress of the Robes to Queen Mary, holding the position until the latter's death in 1953. The Dowager Duchess, widowed since 1938, spent her final years living at Hardwick Hall, which was made over to HM Treasury in 1956, in part payment of death duties.
On 27 August 1870, Lady Evelyn was born the elder daughter of the politician and statesman Henry Petty-FitzMaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne and his wife, Lady Maud Hamilton, daughter of the 1st Duke of Abercorn.[1] Lady Evelyn's father served as Governor General of Canada from 1883 to 1888, as Viceroy of India from 1888 to 1894, and as Leader of the Conservative Party in the House of Lords from 1903 to 1916.[2] Lady Evelyn was consequently raised to public life.[
Evelyn was married on 30 July 1892 to Victor Cavendish, the nephew and heir of the 8th Duke of Devonshire[1][4] and the youngest member of the House of Commons.[5] They and their growing family resided at Holker Hall in Lancashire, and would be sad to leave it to Lord Richard Cavendish upon Victor's ascension as Duke of Devonshire in 1908.[5][6] The family eventually came to include two sons, five daughters,[1] and twenty-one grandchildren.[7]
As part of the celebrations for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, Victor's uncle hosted the Devonshire House Ball, one of the event's most extravagant parties. Lady Evelyn attended in the dress of a Lady at the Court of the Empress Maria Theresa, while her husband dressed in sixteenth-century costume.[8]
Victor succeeded his uncle as 9th Duke of Devonshire in 1908, whereupon Evelyn became the Duchess of Devonshire.[1] The Devonshires were one of the country's richest families, thought by some to have more wealth than the royal family.[9] The Duchess was to oversee four large estates in England and one Irish castle.[3] With her new position, she oversaw the reorganisation of the Devonshire estates.[1] The Duchess strictly adhered to etiquette and her position,[9] being characterised by a brother-in-law as "accustomed to authority."[10] She was known for her abrasive personality; her granddaughter-in-law wrote that she "was not altogether easy to get on with,"[11] whilst another referred to her as "an unpleasant woman."[10] Her husband's biographer described her as "cold, authoritarian, and frugal,"[1] and a servant recalled that "she wouldn't speak to you unless she wanted something, and I can't say she ever thanked you either."[10]
In 1909, the Duchess founded the Derbyshire branch of the Red Cross and became its first president.[3][12] She was appointed Mistress of the Robes to the newly crowned Queen Mary in 1910.[13] In 1916, the Duke accepted the appointment of Governor General of Canada,[5] and his wife relinquished her position to accompany him,[14][15] along with six of their children.[16] While in Canada, their daughter Lady Dorothy met Harold Macmillan, the future prime minister. While the Duke was delighted with the match, the Duchess was unhappy that Macmillan, though wealthy, was the member of a mere tradesmen family. She favoured a match between her daughter and the heir to the Duke of Buccleuch instead.[17] Nevertheless, Dorothy and Macmillan were married in April 1920.[18]
The Duke of Devonshire's tenure in Canada ended in 1921,[16] and the Duchess resumed her role as Mistress of the Robes to Queen Mary, holding the appointment from 1921 to the latter's death in 1953.[citation needed] Queen Mary invested the Duchess as a Dame Grand Cross of The Royal Victorian Order in May 1937.
In April 1925, the Duke suffered a stroke that paralysed him and led to his gradual mental deterioration.[1][21] Previously a jovial man, the duke became miserable towards his family and others, and suddenly could not tolerate his wife.[22][23] Their granddaughter-in-law later recalled that "Granny Evie tried to carry on as if nothing had happened but the house and estate lacked a leader and it showed."[22] The Duchess gained more authority over his estates, destroying its Joseph Paxton-designed conservatory and saving expenses by introducing nettle soup to Chatsworth House,[1] but their affairs "gradually went downhill."[22] He died in May 1938;[22] after his death, the Duchess took up residence at Hardwick Hall, where she oversaw a significant amount of repair work of its tapestries and embroideries.[24]
In 1950, the unexpected death of the 10th Duke of Devonshire and the subsequent death duties (rated at 80%) caused the sale of many of the Devonshire assets and estates, including Hardwick. The decision was made to hand the house over to HM Treasury in lieu of Estate Duty in 1956.[25] The Duchess agreed to the plan despite her love for the estate. In 1959, the Treasury transferred the house to the National Trust.[26] The Duchess remained in occupation until her death on 2 April 1960.[27][28] Having done much to conserve the textiles in the house, she was to be its last occupant.

Once upon a time, all that a job candidate needed to have was a good CV to get them through the door of an interview room. These days things are very different, and many employers will not only look at your CV to assess your suitability for the role on offer, but will also do a bit of a background check on you online too.
The most popular go-to place for employers to check you out is of course LinkedIn. Because LinkedIn is considered to be the Facebook of the business world, having a strong and professional profile here is going to be very important for you.
While your prospective new employer may take a casual glance at your Facebook or Twitter profile also, they do understand that you probably use these accounts socially, and would be more inclined to post the information they are most interested in on LinkedIn, such as your qualifications, work experience, key-skills, awards etc.
Your CV is very important
Despite the digital revolution, your CV is still your tried and trusted first step that allows you to apply for jobs being advertised. It is still expected by employers to have their first contact with potential new employees through the submission of their CV.
Your CV is your brief to inform employers about you and your qualifications and related work experience that makes you a good candidate for the role on offer. Your online profile is your second piece of the puzzle and is just as important as your CV to further help to prove your suitability for the job.
Employers will sort through CVs and narrow down their search by creating a shortlist of suitable candidates from the information that has been provided via a CV. But very many of them have now gotten into the habit of checking out viable candidates online. This is why it is so important that you have a strong online profile that truly complements your CV and backs up the information that you have supplied on there.
Your online profile
Your online profile will give employers a much deeper insight into why you are a suitable choice for the role on offer and why they should pick you for an interview. It is your job to give a prospective new employer the information that they are looking for, but in a neat and tidy way that can be easily read and understood. This is why you need to put just as much work into crafting your online profile as you did with your CV.
While this may seem like a lot of work, you really cannot choose one over the other. Having an outstanding CV may get you onto the shortlist, but if your online profile is sloppy or even non-existent, you may end up leaving the employer with a feeling of doubt about your suitability.
If an employer is looking at two CVs that both tick all of the right boxes and are pretty much neck and neck to make it into their shortlist, which one do you think they will put through – the candidate with a smart and detailed online profile that backs up their CV, or the other guy who has an incomplete profile and a head shot that shows him wearing a t-shirt with a rude slogan and swigging from a beer bottle?
Lets look at some top tips for creating a professional looking online profile that will perfectly complement your CV:
Give more details
We all know that employers face sifting through potentially hundreds of CVs to narrow down their search for a candidate. This is why the standard advice is to keep your CV short and sweet to about two pages in length. Anything longer can make your CV look intimidating and unappealing to an employer. However, because you have plenty of elbow room online, you can go into greater detail here about your key skills, work experience, voluntary work, achievements and awards.
Develop your own personal brand
If you really wanted to give your whole online profile a make-over, then don't stop at LinkedIn. Take great advantage of all other online social media sites to create yourself a personal brand that is consistent across all platforms. Doing this will guarantee that a prospective employer will get the same impression of you regardless of which social media site they visit to check you out. Create yourself a professional Facebook page, as well as Google+ and Twitter. Only link to your professional pages from your CV and never your personal accounts.
Match your information with your CV
Ensure that all of the information you provide on your online profile matches that held within your CV. There should never be any information that contradicts what you have listed, so make sure that your qualifications match exactly with each other and the dates for your work experience are the same on both your CV and your profile.
To save the employer some time, you can include links to your online profile from your CV. This will help to make it easy for the employer to find you online, but will also be a great leverage tool should they be faced between choosing your CV over a rival candidate that hasn't included a link.

NICK LAFRANZ, Obituary
Last updated ERROR at ERROR
CHINOOK Nick Lafrantz, 99, died Monday, June 24, 2002, at a Chinook nursing home.
Masonic memorial services will be 11 a.m. Friday in the Chinook Masonic Temple.
Nick was born April 11, 1903, at the family cattle and sheep ranch on upper Peoples Creek southeast of Lloyd in the foothills of the Bear Paw Mountains. His father went by buggy to the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation to obtain midwife to assist in his delivery.
Nick rode horseback or walked the two miles to Peoples Creek school through the eighth grade. He attended high school at the Billings Poly-Technic, now known as Rocky Mountain College.
Nick worked at the smelter in Great Falls during the 1920s when time would permit working away from the ranch.
He married Ann Boehmer at the First Lutheran Church in Havre on Nov. 29, 1933. They sold their ranch in 1937 and moved nine miles east to Cleveland. They bought 32 of the 40 lots in the townsite and together they had the general store, gas pump, post office and dance hall. Nick was also in the trucking business, hauling groceries out of Chinook, fence posts, stock feed, coal and various other products.
Nick served on the district school board in the 1940s. The board oversaw seven schools: Ramberg, Peoples Creek, Lone Tree Bench, Raglan Bench, Cleveland, Williamson and Hays.
He had 28 years and seven months in federal service, including the Cleveland Post Office. He joined the Bureau of Biological Survey on May 15, 1946 as mammal control supervisor. He was promoted to district supervisor for the division of wildlife services and held that position until his retirement on Dec. 30, 1966. He received an honor award for commendable service from the Department of the Interior for his efficient and conscientious skill in his profession and his rapport with the public he served.
After retirement, Nick kept busy as an outfitter on the Missouri River for 12 years. He enjoyed working on the river from Virgelle to the Fred Robinson Bridge despite never learning to swim. He was organizer, guide and cook, and was responsible for getting food ready for the start and resupplying the large groups at the midway point.
Nick was proud of his 69 years as a Mason. He belonged to the Eagles in Chinook and Havre for a total of 39 years. He joined the Elks Club of Havre in 1945 and was named Elk of the Year in 1983. He served six years as a trustee and cooked many dinners for the Elks through the years.

President Obama Supports Full Marriage Equality
This afternoon, President Barack Obama voiced his strong support for full marriage equality for gay and lesbian Americans. Zach Silk, Campaign Manager of Washington United for Marriage, released the following statement in response to the President's remarks.
"This is an important and historic moment for our country and our state. To have the President lend his strong support for marriage equality and speak about his own journey there resonates with millions of Americans.
"President Obama's path rings true for many in our state who have realized that marriage between loving, committed gay and lesbian couples is a simple matter of fairness and common sense. We hope the president's remarks today will encourage more people to thoughtfully consider their own position and join their family, friends and neighbors in supporting Washington's marriage equality law, and approving Referendum 74 if it qualifies for the ballot next November."

My current research project aims to create a global database of volcanic ash layers found in IODP/ODP/DSDP cores, including information on the thickness of each layer, an age estimation and a good understanding of the associated uncertainties. Essentially a database of this nature can be translated as a time series of volcanic eruptions of varying magnitude. With this information we will be able to look at global rates of volcanism back several tens of millions of years. This will allow us to see how rates of volcanic activity compare with tectonic changes, glacial/interglacial cycles, and eventually link these findings to inform volcanic hazard models.
Previous research interests have included developing probabilistic models for forecasting where new volcanic centres may form in central and southern Japan, volcanic-tectonic interactions in southern Japan, cladistic analysis to determine different 'types' of volcano, as well as time-series analysis of eruption repose intervals.
I gained my MSci Geology from Bristol in 2004, with my final year project analysing a time series of Vulcanian explosions at Sakurajima Volcano, Japan. I later continued my studies at Bristol with a PhD (awarded 2009) which centred around investigating the spatial and temporal distribution of volcanoes in Japan, funded by NUMO. I undertook cladistic analysis of the volcanoes in the Tohoku region, to determine if there are distinct 'types' of volcano, to perhaps suggest if one type of volcano is more hazardous than another for use in probabilistic forecasting. This led to spatio-temporal probabilistic modelling of the volcanoes to suggest areas which were more likely to have new volcanoes form over varying timescales. The third part of my PhD was investigating temporal and spatial changes in the volcanic activity in Kyushu, and looking for correlations with changes in the local and regional tectonics over the time scale of 15-0 Ma.
Currently I am a PDRA at Bristol creating a database of volcanic ash layers from IODP cores.
I lecture in the 'Frontiers' lecture course which introduces the students to current topical research.

In the field of managing human capital, the corporate track record in navigating change, whether in introducing a new business strategy, a change in leadership, a different operating model, the integration of an acquisition or now, the transformation of the business into all things "digital", is more likely to be categorized in terms of partial success or even as an overall failure. Failure metrics include: lower employee engagement, less innovation, decreased customer satisfaction, and failure to achieve synergy targets.
Whether the insufficient change management response is the result of not really learning lessons learned, not realizing as Roger Enrico said "the soft stuff is always harder than the hard stuff" or because of the continued hyper focus on the financials rather than on the people (and not realizing that both are connected); it continues. However, now it is more important than ever to get change transformation and change sustainability right.
If you cannot respond quickly and effectively to what are your own internal business and organizational changes; your own markets, customers, competitors and workforce, how will you be able to prepare and respond to the current and emerging external forces that are not only accelerating but, in fact, redefining what is necessary for sustainable success.
Here are two of the tectonic plate shifting forces that companies are already or soon must be responding to:
Moving to All Things Digital
This starts with a realization that a digital mindset is even more important than a digital infrastructure. It's much more than having mobile apps and the availability of "big data". Many of us do not like to use the term, however it is a mindset shift! Executives and employees must make fundamental leadership, organization design structure, "what is valued" and "how the work gets done" changes. Without these new ways of doing, you can't develop and provide digital products and services and then a digital customer buying experience. The balance of company versus consumer power has forever changed. There already is an established shift in who purchasers turn to for trusted information (including pricing) about brands and products. To each other and not the company! Yes, it's "power to the people"! (The Digitisation of Everything: How Organisations Must Adapt to Changing Consumer Behavior, Ernst & Young, July, 2011).
To successfully navigate into and then sustain a digital business and culture, companies cannot simply rely on the selective hiring of "born digital" talent. ("Rebuilt to Last: Part 1: The Journey to Digital Sustainability", Korn Ferry 2017). This is not a prudent change management strategy and will likely cause "organ rejection" within both the company and among the digital new hires. What determines whether a company is successful in this reinvention is more about having strong overall change management competencies and rewarded resilience, being effective in changing legacy systems, the focused commitment and ability of managing across functional silos and a willingness to overcome embedded aversion to risk. Big budgets, the best new technology investments or the best talent will not lead to the road to digital success. ("Accelerating the Pace and Impact of Digital Transformation", A Harvard Business Review Analytic Services Report, Harvard Business Review, 2016).
Impact of Artificial Intelligence
Almost 50% of jobs in the global economy have the potential to be automated ("A Future That Works: Automation, Employment, and Productivity", McKinsey Global Institute, January 2017). AI and intelligent machines will impact vast areas of both work and personal lives by 2025, however there is no agreement whether these advances will eliminate more jobs than they will create. ("Digital Life in 2025: AI, Robotics, and the Future of Jobs", Pew Research Center, August 2014).
The challenges associated with this evolving "blended" workforce and workplace has already created significant challenges regarding how companies are organized, how work gets managed, assigned and completed. Just because an intelligent machine can perform the work, should it? If one of your core competencies is maintaining deep collaborative customer relationships along critical segments of the value chain, how does the deployment of AI and intelligent machines impact this? This will add a new dimension to "diversity" in the workplace!
There will likely be significant issues to overcome including job loss or skills relocation, whether the income gap grows, whether workforce education and preparation keeps up and whether deriving meaning from work remains as a value. Important questions to ask and answer. Watershed change is here. What is important in moving forward and adapting is first, realizing this you are not immune to this new present and then, that your past success is insufficient for future growth and maybe even for survival.

How to Care for Your Baby's First Teeth
When Stellan cut his first two teeth at a little over five months old, I broke out in a cold sweat. On top of brushing and flossing my teeth and brushing my dogs' teeth, I'd have to add baby Stellan's choppers to the list. Although, realistically, it would only add about five minutes to our daily routine, I envisioned five painfully tedious minutes that I had been hoping to avoid for at least a few more months. Even worse was the thought that if he developed tooth decay, it would be entirely my fault. Clearly, his tooth buds were bringing up some emotional dental hygiene baggage for me.
However, when at Stellan's six-month well-baby visit I asked his pediatrician how to best take care of his pearly whites, she said that simply rubbing them with a washcloth would suffice for the time being. Upon further probing, she assured me that there was no need for toothpaste or even a toothbrush just yet. What's most important in early baby dental care is to get your baby used to having his teeth and gums cleaned.
Dr. Michel Cohen, founder of Tribeca Pediatrics, agrees. "Tooth brushing is nice," he explained, "but its efficacy is limited on young kids." Very early tooth brushing mostly helps babies and toddlers develop a healthy habit that will serve them well a little later in life. According to Dr. Cohen, the most important thing you can do to prevent your baby's teeth from developing cavities is to "avoid [feeding your baby] anything sugary and sticky," such as dried fruits, gummy bears, or sugar-coated cereals. He also suggests not giving babies and toddlers juice or milk at bedtime or in the middle of the night.
Although I now give his teeth and gums a quick swipe with a washcloth morning and night, Stellan seems to enjoy "brushing" them himself with his silicone baby toothbrush while sitting in his high chair. I'm not sure how effective his technique is, but, hopefully, it's fostering a healthy habit while providing some relief from teething.
Do you have any special baby dental care techniques? How about tips for making oral hygiene more fun for you and your little one?

Jordan's economy forecast to grow by 2.3% this year
By Mohammad Ghazal - Jan 09,2019 - Last updated at Jan 09,2019
AMMAN — Jordan's economy is expected to grow by 2.3 per cent in 2019 and witness a slight increase in 2020 and 2021, according to a World Bank report.
In its "2019 Global Economic Prospects" report, the World Bank indicated that Jordan's economy is expected to achieve a growth rate of 2.4 per cent in 2020 and 2.7 per cent in 2021.
The bank's forecast for this year is close to the projections of the Ministry of Finance, which estimates that the Kingdom's economy would grow by 2.5 per cent in 2020 and 2.7 per cent in 2021, according to the ministry.
The World Bank indicated that Jordan's economy was affected by the "massive influx" of Syrian refugees that boosted the informal sector, where jobs tend to be labour-intensive and low skilled.
In another report, the World Bank indicated that Jordan is among the countries where women and men are treated differently by law and the payoff from work experience for women is among the lowest.
"The World Bank figure for this year is realistic, as the Kingdom's economy is not expected to grow by more than 2.3 per cent, especially with no plans in the pipeline for major development projects to bring in investments," economist Mazen Marji told The Jordan Times.
"Trade exchange with neighbouring countries has witnessed major progress and there have been no major economic developments to increase the estimate for this year's growth," he added.
The economist said that the presence of Syrian refugees has played "some role" in increasing unemployment, adding, however, that "the majority of the Syrian refugees replaced Egyptian guest workers".
With the population growth rate remaining around 2.9 per cent, annually, and no major upcoming economic developments, the economist said, unemployment and poverty are expected to remain high.
According to economist Wajdi Makhamreh, Jordan's economy will only witness a boost when trade with Syria and Iraq is restored.
"Many agreements were signed with Iraq recently — we hope we will be able to reap the fruits in 2019," said Makhamreh.
"I hope we will be able to achieve a 2.3-per cent growth and not lower, but that will greatly rely on whether there are some breakthroughs and an increase in exports or not," he told The Jordan Times.

Today I have to put on a puppet play that my manager wrote. It's not that great and I'm so nervous about doing something lame in front of "my" kids. I don't want them to be disappointed!! But, we're doing a craft after, and all kids like glue, so...maybe that'll be my saving grace.
Then, tonight I'm going out to dinner with some of my fave librarians. I'm very excited to get updates from them! Also, there is both valet parking and margaritas, which are two big thumbs up in my book!
I have been listening to Justin Beiber's new CD all week and it is SO GOOD. I really like it, it's perfect summer music. I also got to watch some of the Olympic swimming trials last night...super fun!

Capcom released these three short but not uninteresting videos of Bionic Commando for the E3.
Capcom released these three short but not uninteresting videos of Bionic Commando for the E3.
Capcom is launching GRIN's Bionic Commando this week and here is the First 10 Minutes of the game. I'm in the middle of exams so my time with it has been very limited, but I can share my first impressions at least.
Capcom will release GRIN's Bionic Commando this week and we've been given a copy of the Xbox 360 version. The First 10 Minutes video isn't ready yet, but here's a gameplay video showing an early part in the game. I've barely scratched the surface but the game seems like a solid action shooter, the controls have worked fine so far. The game's swinging mechanics can't be compared to the Spider-man games, they take some time to getting used to and you always have to aim for the right spots.
One week from Bionic Commando's European release, Capcom put online this final trailer of the game for your viewing pleasure.
Capcom released the third Lab Report of Bionic Commando, putting the spotlight on the weapons.
Capcom released this new series of Bionic Commando images. The game's demo available since a few days certainly divided the opinions, people seem to either love it, or hate it.
Update: Added a trailer of that demo.
To be done with the Captivate, here are some images of Bionic Commando, along with a trailer showing the multiplayer mode.
Capcom has released the second Combat Lab video showing some of the capabilities of the hero of Bionic Commando.
Capcom and Grin released the first "Lab Report" of Bionic Commando, showing the arm of the game's hero in action. It's also a good way to see the game in action again.
Capcom today announced that Bionic Commando will be released on the 19th of May in the US, and hopefully it'll reach Europe the same week. Asian site GameWatch put online these two images of it, while a new trailer can be found on the official Japanese site (click "Play" on the far left one). Hopefully Capcom will send out a 720p version soon.

Wind Dancer by Jamie Carie
"...an exciting adventure of pre-Revolutionary America with an unconventional heroine and a troubled, but capable hero."
Can a woman who can shoot a rifle and wield a knife as well as any man ever find a mate?
Samuel Holt has never met a woman like Isabelle Renoir. She can hunt, shoot, and brandish a knife better than most men, and she's more at home in the woods than in a kitchen. From the moment he first stumbles across her in the woods with her younger brother and Indian guide, he is drawn to her. When the guide disappears, Samuel takes Isabelle and Julian on to their destination to retrieve some books for their town priest.
But as they begin the return trip to Isabelle's home town, they are savagely attacked by the Shawnee. Eventually, all three are taken captive and forced to endure unimaginable hardships. Isabelle must rely on her strong faith in God to survive this ordeal, but there are times she wonders if she will make it. When an Indian brave claims Isabelle for his wife, Samuel knows they must escape soon, or he will lose Isabelle forever.
Jamie Carie has penned an exciting adventure of pre-Revolutionary America with an unconventional heroine and a troubled, but capable hero. Isabelle's faith in God is strong as she dances in the moonlight in worship to Him. But she soon finds her faith tested as she faces unimaginable horrors. Samuel makes a great hero. He is wrestling with his troubled past, duties to the colonial forces, and with trying to keep Isabelle from putting herself in danger with her fearlessness and her independent spirit.
For the most part, Wind Dancer is a past-paced story with an electrifying romance and appealing hero and heroine, but the passages about the war slows the pace in places. Still, this book is engaging, more sensual than the average Christian romance, and has a unique heroine that readers will enjoy. For a fascinating colonial romance, check out Jamie Carie's Wind Dancer.
