There's a claim that's often made about software engineers, which is that we "don't want anything to do with the business". To hear the typical story told, we just want to put our heads down and work on engineering problems, and have little respect for the business problems that are of direct importance to the companies where we work. There's a certain mythology that has grown up around that little concept.
Taking a superficial view, this perception is accurate. The most talented software engineers seem to have minimal interest in the commercial viability of their work, and a rather low level of respect for the flavor-of-the-month power-holders who direct and supervise their work. It's easy to conclude that software engineers want to live in an ivory tower far away from business concerns. It's also, in my experience, completely incorrect. Business can be intellectually fascinating. As I've learned with age, new product development, microeconomics and game theory, and interpersonal interactions are just as rich in cognitive nutrition as compiler design or random matrix theory. I might prefer to study hard technical topics in my free time, in order to keep up a specialty, but I'm a generalist at heart and I don't view business problems or interpersonal challenges as inferior or "dirty". More to this, I think that most software engineers agree with me on that. We're not ivory tower theoreticians. We're builders, and as we age, we begin to respect the challenges involved in large projects that present interpersonal as well as technical challenges.
So why are so many talented software engineers seemingly averse to the business? Why do most talented programmers fly away from line-of-business work, leaving it to the less capable and credible? It's this: we don't want to deal with the business as subordinates. That, stated so, is the truth of it.
There are a few who protect their specialties with such intensity that any business-related work is viewed as an unwanted distraction, and I'm glad that they exist, because the hardest technical problems require a single-minded focus. I'm not speaking (not here and now, anyway) for them. Instead, I'm talking about a more typical technologist, with an attraction to problem-solving in general. Is she willing to work for "the business"? Of course, but not as a subordinate. If she's going to be called in to mix business concerns with her work, she's going to want the authority and autonomy necessary to actually solve the problems put in front of her. It's when working with the business doesn't come with these requisite resources and permissions that she'd rather slink away and build interpreters for esoteric languages.
The stereotype is that software engineers and technologists "don't care" about business problems. The reality is that they avoid working on line-of-business software because the position is inherently subordinate. Give them the authority to set requirements, instead of coding to them, and they'll care. Make them partners and drivers instead of "resources", and they'll actually give a damn. But expect them to interact with the business in a purely subordinate role, as in a typical business-driven "tech" company, and the talented ones (who are invariably smarter than the executives shouting orders, but have chosen not to participate in the political contest necessary to get to that level) will hide from the front lines.
If a company views software engineering as a cost center, and programming as a fundamentally subordinate activity, it will find that talented programmers avoid direct interaction with the business (which will, by design, happen on subordinate terms) and software it builds will either be of low quality or irrelevant to its business needs– because those who have the ability to write high-quality software won't even bother to make their work relevant. However, this pattern of degeneracy (although common) should not be taken as a foregone conclusion. There are more similarities than differences between business problems and engineering problems, and it's quite possible to give people with programming and engineering talent the incentive to learn about the business. While technical talent flies away from "business-driven programming" like a bat out of hell, there's no intrinsic animosity between programming talent and "the business". To the contrary, I think that people with experience solving these two classes of problems could have a natural affinity, and have a lot to learn from each other. Any such meeting has to come on terms of equality, however. If working with the business means doing so as a subordinate, then no one with technical talent will do so in earnest.

GE's Mark Sheppard steps into regional role
- 10 March, 2016 11:01
GE's Mark Sheppard: "We are on quite a journey in the industrial internet space."''
Image courtesy of GE.
Mark Sheppard has moved into the role of digital lead for Asia-Pacific at GE.
Sheppard, who has been CIO for Australia and New Zealand at the organisation since 2012, confirmed his new position on Thursday morning.
Sheppard said he is now responsible for the commercialisation of software across the region.
"We are on quite a journey in the industrial Internet space and our region has huge potential," Sheppard told CIO Australia.
Sheppard said he wants to create an Australian software centre of excellence and pitched the idea to global CEO, Jeff Immelt in 2014.
GE is looking to move more of its software development capability out to regions across the world rather than build up the GE Software Centre in San Ramon, California.
The company is undergoing a major transformation using software, data, and analytics to support what it refers to as its "industrial internet" capability. For example, GE is using sensors to capture real-time data from its jet engines to determine their condition.
Data relating to fuel flow, oil pressure, air temperature, and vibrations is sent to customer service and scheduling software to essentially eliminate unplanned downtime.

Good Tuesday morning everyone! I'm finally back to writing my blog posts after about a 6-month hiatus. With turning the corner into the New Year, I have finally put my foot down and plan to stick with my goal of maintaining this blog. It's a type of relaxation technique for me, and I love sharing healthy tips and tricks for fitness and overall health. So once again, I hope you all enjoy the coming attractions! 🙂
Today I want to highlight a delicious food that everyone seems to be really afraid of, but one that I have embraced in the last year.
Kale is such a delicious green that so many people have either never heard of, or think is "weird" and that they would rather stick to their iceberg or hearts-of-romaine for their salads. Kale can be used in so many ways, and mixed, cooked, baked, and seasoned to taste so fantastically good that you don't even know you're eating a vegetable (That's the goal for many of us, yes?).
The first time I used kale, I made the simplest recipe I could find that used the least amount of ingredients, so I could actually get the true taste of the veggie. KALE CHIPS. Simple enough: buy kale, wash, and chop (or rip) into bite sized pieces. Toss with EVOO. Put in the oven. Sprinkle with salt. ENJOY.After the first batch of those, I was hooked.
I found yet another great recipe for Cheesy Kale Chips that you MUST try, especially if you like your crunchy afternoon snacks like I do.
One of my favorite soups to make in the winter is a SUPER easy Italian Wedding Soup. I altered this recipe a bit (I used already made turkey-meatballs, for a start) and I also substitute the escarole with kale! It is to die for, and you won't be disappointed if you do the same.
After doing some research on kale salads, I found a plethora on this lovely Food52 website. The best kale salads, at your service.
Going forward, my next endeavor using kale is going to be Kale Pesto; my sister always recommends putting pesto in pastas, but she also tells me it goes GREAT in scrambled eggs or omelets. I eat eggs everyday, so that is definitely on my To-Cook list for this coming week, and I think the pesto will be a fantastic addition.
I hope you all go and try some of these recipes, especially if you're looking for new ways to switch up your veggie regime; you won't be disappointed.

Many a baseball fan has made a summer pilgrimage to Boston over the years. The city is, of course, home to Fenway Park, one of the true jewels of the American sporting world. You can't call yourself a baseball fan or even a sports fan until you have watched a game from the historic stadium. Just be forewarned that it is home to something called the Green Monster. Kind of scary sounding, don't you think?
If baseball is not your thing, there are myriad reasons to visit Boston in the ... [read more]

There are days at work I call "classified's days": ones where you go home and look in the classified's for a new job. Then there are days like today, when all the work and stress seems worthwhile.
As a camp counselor in my twenties, I noted how the simplest of games- Duck Duck Goose– continued to enthrall the campers. When technological games that I don't even know the names of absorb the attention of the average kid, its good to see them quietly read a book or play outside. Those simple pleasures really get to our souls and don't seem to ever become outdated.
In a scene of the book my students are reading, the characters dance to the music of "Sir Roger de Coverley." As most of my best lesson ideas occur pretty much out of nowhere, I decided yesterday we would learn to dance the Virginia Reel.
Now, when I was in junior high, I had a chorus teacher who taught us many of these old dances. I remembered it vaguely, but YouTube to the rescue showed me a clip of the dance from the Jane Austen Society.
After watching the clip several times, myself, I caught on. This morning, I showed it to my students and picked ten of them to be the first group. After a few false starts, everyone caught on as they danced to the music of the video.
When your students are asking you, can we go again? Saying: "We should do this every Friday," you know you've got a hit on your hands. The dancing days for these kids are not over. They have plans to form a league!
But, what I enjoyed the most was, having gotten them started, I was able to sit back a bit and let them just go for it. The dance calls for a group of six people standing across from one another. It requires them to bow to each other, swing around first by one hand and then the other, then both, to do-si-do, sashay from one end of the column to the other, and finally form a bridge for the others to go underneath.
These long, forgotten traditions are both surprisingly and unsurprisingly the ones that bring the most joy. Skipping around the room and getting their heartrates up, combined with innocent touching, is just the sort of thing that is appropriate for thirteen-year-olds.
It was just a reminder to me to always start simple. There is so much joy that can be felt through so little. The Victorians knew it; why don't we?

Jefferson Does It Again
On January 14th, the Jefferson Dragon wrestling team won the state duals for the 16th consecutive time. This broke the Gilmer Bobcats 31-match winning streak and 7 straight dual titles. Go Dragons!
After fifteen consecutive wins at the GHSA state-duals, Jefferson was able to get it done again and win their sixteenth title in a row. The Dragons have now won state titles in four classifications (A-AAAA).
The Dragons started their weekend with a solid victory on Thursday over Northside Columbus (79-0). On Friday, they claimed two more victories through the second and third round of the brackets over Marist (57-18) and Woodward Academy (50-16). This brought the Dragons into a highly anticipated clash with Gilmer County on Saturday. Although Gilmer County was the defending AAAA state champions, Jefferson beat them with a final score of 35-28 on Saturday.

Lyn's biography
Lyn is a professor in the School of Interactive Art and Technology at SFU, where she is a co-founder and the Director of the CoLab, a multidisplay research facility to investigate how people work together in both co-located and remote contexts. Her research interests include collaboration interfaces, perceptual issues in information visualization, methodologies for interface evaluation, and human interaction in complex systems. In particular she is interested in how the rich visual modality of motion and animation can be used in information visualization and affective interfaces. Her work focuses on understanding what humans do well and how to design interfaces that exploit human perception and cognition, especially in more complex environments with multiple devices, large and distributed displays or multiple users. Officially a computer scientist, she is equally immersed in perceptual psychology and usability practices. However, keeping true to her geek roots, she admits to a sneaky love of software architectures for interactive systems.

My baby girl is 11 years old today. 11 years ago, I was due on Thanksgiving day but because she was considerate even before her birth, Emma allowed her mommy to enjoy Thanksgiving and came on Saturday, November 29, 1997.
Emma, you are growing into an amazing young woman. And even though I miss the days when you were younger, I wouldn't go back for anything in the world. I love the conversations that we have and I love seeing life through your eyes!
When you were in Kindergarten, you learned a scripture that you loved to say(sing) and now it is my prayer that you will follow this verse all the days of your life.
"Show me your ways O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are my God my Savior, and my hope is in you all the day long." Psalm 25:4-5
Happy Birthday, Emma.
I love you,

Funny Story
While Steven, Caleb and I were sitting in the exam room waiting on my doctor to come in, Steven noticed that he had a wet spot on his pants, right near his pocket. The only thing we could figure was that he got wet when we he was washing his hands in the restroom.
Later, I went to have some bloodwork done and Steven and Caleb returned to the waiting room. While in there, Caleb was patting Steven on his legs and he felt the wet spot. Caleb said, "ohh Daddy, you wet. You need a diaper change?"
Steven was thoroughly embarassed but believes that no one in the crowded waiting room heard........right!

I went today for a check up. Everything looks great, except my weight, we won't go there since it's 2 days before Thanksgiving!
We've been busy, recovering from Emma's party, Caleb getting sick on Sunday and trying to get the house back in order...whew. I'll be glad when Thursday gets here so I can relax!
If I don't get back before Thursday...Happy Thanksgiving!
Love y'all!

It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas....
Since my family will think I've lost my mind if I started decorating the house for Christmas this early, I figured I'd at least decorate my blog!
So what do you think?
Have you started decorating yet? I know you have BethAnne (are you still keeping the blinds closed?) but has anybody else started?
Here's what Caleb was doing while I changed my blog........oh my!

Back to life......
Steven and I had an amazing time on our getaway to the mountains. We stayed in the most cozy bed and breakfast. The weather wasn't great but it sure made it easy to snuggle up by the fire and read! We slept in, ate some amazing food, the sweet potato blueberry pancakes were out of this world! I'm going to be making those sometime soon!! And did a lot of sight-seeing. We even went to a drive-in movie Friday night! It's amazing how you forget what it's like to be able to get in and out of a car and you are the only person that you have to make sure is buckled! (I've reread that sentence several times, I hope it makes sense!)
We hiked, in the rain, to see this waterfall. It was worth it!

I only have a minute....
Sorry I've been m.i.a for a few days. We left Sunday afternoon to attend the Ga. Baptist Convention. We had a great time seeing lots of friends, hearing some great preaching as well as being challenged by our President to remember, "there IS a cause!"
Today will be filled with washing clothes and packing again because Steven and I are going to the mountains for a couple of days! woohoo! In between all that, I've got to get to the doctor today to see if she can give me something else to help shake this killer ear infection I've had for over a week! I've also got to return some overdue books to the library, make a stop by wal-mart and hopefully eat lunch with Emma and Dougie!
SO now you see why I only have a minute!
Happy Wednesday!

Here are some pictures from this past weekend.
This is how they dressed up for school on Friday. Emma the gangsta and Dougie the Spartan!
This was at our party Friday evening. Most of the kids didn't wear their costumes because it was going to be pretty chilly.
Caleb eating his favorite food, a hamburger! He absolutely refused to wear his costume. He screamed and cried when I put it on him, so I gave in. Maybe next year!
Hanging out with cousins at the family reunion.
My dad, far left, and his siblings. God has truly blessed our family.

I'm still here!
I received an email this morning from my 2nd mom checking in on me. She said it had been 5 days since I'd updated my blog, so she just wanted to make sure everything was ok! Everything is fine, we have just been extremely busy! I'm sure you can all relate. On Friday, I basically spent the whole day at the kids' school. They have a costume parade/contest in the morning and then have parties around lunch time. Because of the distance from home to the school, there was no sense in me driving back and forth. By the time we got home, it was just about time to get ready to head to our friends house for a Halloween party. We had a blast. They live out in the country, so we had a scary hayride through the pasture. Some of the dads hid out there and scared the kids when we rode by. I think the dads had more fun than the kids.
Then on Sat., the kids I headed to a family reunion. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun getting caught up with aunts, uncles and cousins.
Of course Sundays are busy for everyone and so by the time Monday got here, I just wanted to crash. Other than taking the kids to school, we stayed home and didn't do much. I did do some laundry but we were just exhausted.
I haven't even loaded my pictures yet, although I didn't get many from Halloween. Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday and hope you don't have to wait in too long of a line to vote. It's going to be a late night!

|← Economics of Recycling
|End of Module Questions →
Net Present Value (NPV) is one of the approaches used in capital budgeting. The NPV approach analyses projects based on the capital invested and the cash inflows generated. In this case, the cash flows are discounted based on the expected rate of return. This implies that the discounting factor takes into consideration the time value of money. When projects undergo evaluation, the projects that provide positive NPV are considered for implementation. In addition, projects with the highest NPV are accepted while those with negative NPV are rejected. Nevertheless, when the NPV is equal to zero, decision makers become indifferent about the projects. As a result, it is one of the most rigorous, verifiable and reliable means of financial decisions (Ross, 2008).
An example to demonstrate the use of NPV can be reflected by a company wishing to make decision on two projects costing $70,000 and $ 50000 when the required rate of return is 15%. If the inflows expected from the two projects are $40000 and $20000 respectively over the next three years, to obtain the NPV of each project, one needs to discount the cash flows to the present value using the required rate of return of 15%. As a result, the present value of each project would be $91327 and $45663. Having obtained the present value, we derive the NPV by subtracting the initial capital from the present value. This will yield two different NPVs of $21327 and $4337. Based on this finding, it would be essential for the company to select the first project with positive NPV.
Some of the benefits of the NPV are the fact that it is easy to calculate and is one of the most reliable investment appraisal techniques. Similarly, it takes into consideration the time value of money. On the other hand, the calculation of NPV is based on predicted value of cash flows, which may not be actual. Therefore, it may give unrealistic estimates.

Phantom Elimination is a free-for-all slayer gametype. In order to win the match, you must be the last player alive. This game extends until a player is the first to reach three match wins. You only have one life; upon death you must sit out for the rest of the round and watch the other players fight it out to determine the victor. Unlike normal Elimination, however, all players have a never-ending Active Camo cloak. Just as with regular Elimination, the player's HUD shows a waypoint above the opponent they must eliminate. Upon killing the marked opponent, another will be marked, and so on, until the match is over.

"Last month drilling was proceeding apace. Significantly, however, we were hit by some unseasonal cold and wet conditions. Particularly further north and on heavier ground, many spring sowings were considerably delayed," comments Roger Vickers, Chief Executive of PGRO. "Plans for beans in a small minority of areas were reportedly abandoned. The break in conditions in later April provided some respite and much of the remaining spring drilling was recovered. The general trade consensus is with clarity and understanding of growers' options regarding CAP and the catchiness of spring sowing, the UK pulse crop area may be slightly less than in 2015."
Chris Collings, President of BEPA, comments that interest in UK pulses for all established markets remains good for the new crop harvest. That said, at this time there is little trade with growers focussing upon getting crops sown and everyone awaiting a better view of the likely supply position in the autumn.
The watchword from the trade to growers as ever remains quality. Produce of good visual quality will command premiums and attention should be given to the crop at all stages to ensure it is realised. Existing, new and returning markets need to be able to rely on quality produce from the UK. Only then will markets be retained and the UK reach preferred origin status.
The trading of old crop feed beans is largely over. Significant commitments have been entered into and movement is awaited. Prices are around £130 /t ex farm largely unchanged.
Feed requirements fall at this time of year as livestock are increasingly out to grass.
Buyers are, as always, looking at their options for the months ahead and falling commodity values for alternatives provide the ideal opportunity for them to sit on the fence.
Interest in the bean crop remains good, and once the size of the UK crop is better understood by both producers and buyers, interest will return more strongly. Currently little interest exists in trading new crop from either side.
New crop prices are similar to old, further disincentivising buying and selling. If growers can see profit at the levels they are offered, selling a precautionary percentage forward is worth consideration. It is reported that commodity markets in general are looking for reasons to rise, but there are no certainties, and rumours in markets or weather reports can easily cause fluctuations up or down.
The export markets for human consumption beans appear fully supplied. It is unlikely that old crop not already committed will, a) make the grade, or b) find a home outside of the feed market at this stage. With effective closure of the export market, at least temporarily, additional availability for the feed market may put downward pressure on the prices. The risk of this remains low, if as suspected there is little left to trade.
Notional premiums over feed are circa £15-25/t. The new crop interest again remains low and premiums and values are similar.
The ability of Egypt to pay is an issue due to its importance as the destination market for so much of the UK bean crop. The situation continues with troubled cash flows and traders exposed to considerable values for goods already shipped. Existing consignments are destined for this market but will not be sent before payments are received and shipment dates are rolling over. The local market is currently well provided and buyer demand is limited.
A year ago the $US/EGP exchange rate was 7.62, today it is more like 8.8 following a recent devaluation to combat black market US$ exchanges. The country's foreign reserves have been reduced by more than half to about $16 billion since 2011. In that time Gulf nations have pumped more than $20bn into Egyptian coffers and in the last few days a further US$4bn has been pumped in by the UAE.
Australian Faba beans have not featured so heavily in recent months. Prices have been relatively high and despite their generally good quality the market reported here has been largely focussed upon UK and Baltic sourced produce. Australian crop, however, has been present and will continue to give competition in the future. A feature of the 2015 crop - concerns about drought - are already being mentioned for 2016 in parts of Australia.
The Sudanese market will reopen in June but the local crop is reported as having been excellent and the demand for imports is not materialising. This market is unlikely to spring back to life before the new crop.
Turning to combining peas, a small but intended surplus of marrowfat peas will be carried into the new crop, providing much needed security of supply to the market in the event of a lower than expected harvest. An increased planting is anticipated in 2016 and any new crop open market productions are currently valued at £220-280/t ex depending upon quality and location. It is believed however that most productions are already against buy back contracts.
From the +/- £400/t values of a couple of years ago, borne on the back of significant shortage, prices are trending toward more traditional levels. That said, margins for growers remain very strong and grower interest is already being expressed in crop 2017.
It is now predicted that there will be almost no carry over of large blue peas into the new crop. Lower values have allowed exporters to be competitive in export markets with UK quality giving the edge. Destinations that have been missing for many years have returned and even interest expressed from Indian buyers. New crop values are estimated at £160-£180/t ex. Much will depend upon the volume and quality at harvest, premiums will be attracted to the best produce.
It is still viewed that, although yellow pea values for crop 2015 were good, the UK is less well positioned to compete with the larger production areas of Canada, Ukraine and France. Crop areas are likely to remain very small, being produced against contracts already secured.

There are two preferred methods of concrete wall sawing, a hand held system and a track mounted system. The right method depends on each individual job.
Points to consider are:
We have three powerful and uniquely versatile hydro stress machines, powered by diesel or electric power packs. The largest can be cut to a depth of 1000mm from one side. We have extensive track for these machines to allow mounting of up to three cutting heads for efficient and quick progressive cutting operations.

It's difficult to be hot when you're flying through the air at 60 miles per hour; or when you're blasting skyward from 0-70 mph in just 1.2 seconds; or when you're free falling from 130 feet. That's right: adrenaline rides with a strong breeze.
The Skycoaster — Feel the anticipation build as we lift you 110 feet into the air, and then feel the wind in your face as you and up to two friends soar through the air at 60 mph. That'll cool you off in a hurry.
Texas Blastoff — Rocket 150 feet straight up with the speed of a dragster, and then, rather than fall straight back down, the four-bungee apparatus sends you on a topsy-turvy free fall full of twists, turns and flips.
Nothin' But Net — We lift you to the top of our 16-story tower, and then we simply let you go. That's right – no bungee cord, parachute or straps. Just you, a 130-foot drop, and the safety net below.
Thrilling rides and wind in your face to calm even the hottest of days? We're not of the best Dallas attractions for nothing.

It's finally happened. Just short of the quarter-finals, Ed Balls has left Strictly Come Dancing.
The former shadow chancellor and partner Katya Jones crashed out of the competition after losing the dance off to Judge Rinder and Oksana Platero.
His enthusiasm, bonkers routines and hilarious Gangnam Style performance will go down in Strictly history.
Now that Ed won't be back on the ballroom floor this weekend he might have a bit of free time on his hands.
It's fair to say the man is a household name now, and there must be plenty of shows waiting in the wings to snap him up having seen how popular he became on Strictly.
And if he decides to step out of the limelight we're sure there's lots he could turn his hand to with his newfound dancing skillz.
We have 12 helpful (or ridiculous) suggestions for Ed…
1. Star in a panto
It's that time of year, and a big name like Ed in a pantomime will have people flocking to the theatre. We imagine Ed would make a fabulous Captain Hook, Genie from Aladdin or Widow Twankey. (Oh no he wouldn't!) Oh yes he would.
2. Go on The Jump
The injury-prone reality TV show from Channel 4 is bravely being brought back next year, and while there are already famous faces attached to the show, nothing has been confirmed yet.
Which means there's still plenty of time for Ed to kick off his dancing shoes and stick on his ski boots. We think he'll take to the slopes with as much grace as his samba.
3. Record a Christmas single
You do know it's Christmas time, right? Forget the X Factor winner or Vaults – we want to hear what an Ed Balls Chrimbo track would sound like. Get Ed Sheeran on the phone to help out.
4. Present The Great British Bake Off
GBBO moving to Channel 4 was probably one of the biggest bits of telly news this year, and with Mel and Sue quitting the show there's a slot open for a new presenter. He came across has warm, hardworking and playful on Strictly stint, and that could easily translate to TV presenting. Bring on the Balls (and the baking).
5. Duet with Honey G
If she can't get Snoop Dogg, there's always Ed. We don't think they'll give Drake and Future a run for their money, but as a charity single it would do the business.
6. Become a Celebrity Big Brother housemate
Usually the natural next step for celebs. Ed would be a major signing for the Channel 5 show. Bookmakers Coral have Ed as 10-1 to become a housemate, so it's not that impossible. Just imagine him chatting about housework with someone off Ex On The Beach.
7. Present Top Gear
Matt LeBlanc is currently going it alone since Chris Evans quit, but so far the BBC hasn't named another frontman to join him. Paiging Ed Balls! Assuming he's a petrol head of course.
8. Guest host This Morning
James Martin, Rylan Clark and Eamon Holmes have all done it. It's time for Ed to join the lofty ranks and wax lyrical about dogs, kitchen gadgets and statement party jewellery.
9. Teach a dance class
He's picked up a new thing or two from Katya – why not share his new knowledge with other complete ballroom beginners?
10. Join The Xtra Factor
Not that we aren't loving Rylan Clark and Matt Edmonson, but the Xtra Factor presenting team changes like the weather. Hiring Ed would be a curveball no one would see coming
11. Make a fitness video
Ed has previously revealed that he lost mad weight while competing on Strictly, dropping a stone in five weeks. A fitness DVD is all the rage among celebs these days and we think Ed's would fly off the shelves.
12. Return to politics?
He did used to be shadow chancellor after all. Although he is no longer an MP and hasn't made any indication that's he's thinking of going back into politics, he can't ignore the ringing endorsement he got from celebs when he made his emotional Strictly exit. Is the Labour Party leadership calling him?

It must be intended that I no longer fish the Nissin Prosguare. After replacing the broken sections, it broke again in one of the replaced sections. Not sure if it was faulty or not but I was barely setting the hook when it broke. After fishing with TUSA Amago for a bit, I decided to fish for micros.
I was fishing Kiyotaki 24 and a size 26 blue fly. I was getting smaller blue gills but I could tell the hook was to big for the real small ones. I fished for a couple hours before going home for Dinner.

A WARSHIP that played a key role in the downfall of Colonel Gaddafi sailed into the city for her final visit.
HMS Liverpool is to be decommissioned at the end of March after more than 30 years at sea.
Ordered to the Mediterranean last spring she played a pivotal role in assisting Libyan rebels battle pro-Gaddaafi troops.
The Type 42 Destroyer was built at Birkenhead shipyard Cammell Laird and has enjoyed a long and close association with Liverpool.
Yesterday as a crowd stood at the Pier Head and the town crier hailed the crew on their arrival, Lord Mayor Councillor Frank Prendergast, who had been on the ship since she left Glasgow on Monday, was the first on to the gangway to begin preparations for the ship's five-day visit.
Able Seaman Robert "Cass" Clay, from Crosby, was met by his parents and spoke of his pride at sailing up the Mersey.
The 20-year-old said: "It felt amazing coming up the River Mersey, it's one of the best things I've seen in my career."
Steve Hughes, 58, from Litherland, also made the journey from Glasgow. The plater welder was part of the team that built the ship.
He said: "It's a nostalgic thing to be part of, I was there at the beginning and I'm here at the end, being on board has been a fantastic experience."
The ship's commanding officer, Commander Colin Williams, spoke of his pride at bringing the ship to her "spiritual home" once more.
He said: "We're delighted as ever to be here."

Dear GT,
It's hard for me to write this post. Over the last couple of weeks, many of us, including me, have talked about how much this community has meant to us. It's a wonderful home for many reasons – a place to blow off steam, share kitten pictures, talk about politics, feminism, gender, etc. It can be a rancorous place, but it can also be an incredibly kind community.
As of today, I'm stepping back as the head moderator of GT and turning over the daily business to the wonderful Sorcia. While I'll remain the owner of GT and my admin rights, I will largely be a background character. With her and the rest of the moderating team, you guys are in good hands.
I want to emphasize that there is no 'event' that's caused me to move on. I'm aware that we have had several drama llama's in the last week or so, but those are both coincidental and sort of regular for us. At the beginning of the summer, I let the mods know I was interested in stepping down and we're been working towards the transition for a while. I'll be returning to Pakistan in a few weeks, so this is the best moment to make the jump.
If you read the AMA or listened to my interview, you may have heard that moderating can be a significant undertaking. Simply put, the care and feeding of Groupthink requires a massive amount of time and emotional energy. Unfortunately, this means that other projects and areas of my life don't get the same attention, so to better balance myself, I need to step away. I will still be running The Powder Room for Jezebel and I hope to see many of you over in the comments there.
If you would like to keep in contact with me, you can certainly follow me on Twitter (I try to follow everyone back) @SlayBelle. I can also be found on FB, where I am under the same name. I'll probably be a little scarce around these parts for a couple of weeks but I am not planning on disappearing, just reducing my presence.
I wish to thank you all for entrusting me with this community and sharing your lives with us. I have been deeply honored to be a part of it.
The new email account to contact the moderators are is: email@example.com. The commenters email address will remain with me, and is a way to contact me personally.
With much love,

Topic : Wedding planning template google docs.
Author : Claudius Slater.
Published : Wed, Sep 11th 2019 07:20 AM.
Format : jpg/jpeg.
Once your free business plan template is downloaded, take your time to look it over so you understand it. Keep your business information handy so that you are not searching for it when you need to input information. A sample template will cover all of the different areas in which you should prepare your business plan. You will need to create a strategy and marketing plan. Then you must account for profit and loss. You will need a balance sheet and a cash flow statement. A cash balance graph clearly shows your financial status while operating ratios allow you to make good comparisons of your business efficiency. Finally you need an executive summary to tie it all together.
Plenty of individuals think that developing a business plan finishes after they have edited out all mistakes on grammar. Well, their plans may have been written without flaw, but these business individuals could still turn off prospective investors if their plans have boring appearances and mediocre formatting. So, it is really important to obtain a business template; specifically the one that has impeccable designs. There are lots of websites on the Internet, and most of them offer free plan templates. These templates are oftentimes very simple. They typically contain only one spreadsheet and a small number of headings. They are usually in Microsoft Word formats, and they do not provide any support with the contents of the plans. Because of this, poorly constructed plans often become the results.
With a wide range of free business plan templates available online, be sure to search for one that suits your business. There is no point using a plan designed for an accountants firm when you are starting a fast food franchise. Plans suitable for Windows users are available as MS Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. While Excel can be daunting if you are not familiar with it, plans on Excel are often very good to work with. Since Excel is one of the best spreadsheet programs out there it is well worth learning how to use it.

European Flights Resume, London Remains Closed
Applause, cheers and whoops of joy rang out from Asia to New York to Paris on Tuesday as airplanes gradually took to the skies after five days of being grounded by the drifting volcanic ash that has crippled European air travel.
Only limited flights were allowed to resume Tuesday, and most of British airspace remained shut down.
The Eurocontrol air traffic agency in Brussels, meanwhile, says it expects some 55 to 60 percent of flights over Europe to go ahead on Tuesday, a marked improvement over the last few days.
By midmorning, 10,000 of Europe's 27,500 daily flights were scheduled to go.
An international pilots group warned that ash remains a danger and meteorologists say Iceland's still-erupting volcano isn't ready to rest yet, promising more choked airspace and flight delays to come.
Yet in many airport hubs that have been cauldrons of anxiety, anger and sleep deprivation, Tuesday marked a day of weary collective relief.
The boards at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport announcing long-distance flights - which had been streaked with red "canceled" signs for five days - filled up with white "on time" signs Tuesday and the first commercial flight out since Thursday left for New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.
"We were in the hotel having breakfast, and we heard an aircraft take off. Everybody got up and applauded," said Bob Basso of San Diego, who has been staying in a hotel near Charles de Gaulle since his flight Friday was canceled.
"There's hope," he said. Basso, 81, and his son have tickets for a flight to Los Angeles later Tuesday.
At New York's JFK, the first flight from Amsterdam in days arrived Monday night.
"Everyone was screaming in the airplane from happiness," said passenger Savvas Toumarides, of Cyprus, who missed his sister's New York wedding after getting stranded in Amsterdam last Thursday. He said the worst part was "waiting and waiting and not knowing."
An Associated Press photographer saw one KLM jet taking off from Amsterdam into a colorful sunset, which weather officials said was pinker than normal due to the ash.
Limited flights resumed in Scotland, and Switzerland reopened its entire airspace to regular traffic Tuesday.
The German airline Lufthansa got a waiver to bring 50 long-haul planes carrying about 15,000 passengers home flying at low altitudes, and the country's overall airspace was to open starting Tuesday afternoon.
Airports in central Europe and Scandinavia have reopened, and most of southern Europe remained clear, with Spain volunteering to be an emergency hub for overseas travelers trying to get home. Spain piled on extra buses, trains and ferries to handle an expected rush of passengers.
Some flights resumed early Tuesday from Asia to southern Europe. But Asian airports and airlines remained cautious, and most flights to and from Europe remained canceled.
Two Japan Airlines flights, the first from Moscow and the second from Rome, landed in Tokyo Tuesday - the first European flights to arrive in Japan since Friday. Both flights were crammed to capacity.
Patrizia Zotti, from Lecce, Italy, carried her 6-month-old son on her back as she waited to finally board a flight out of Tokyo on Tuesday. She was with her husband last Thursday at the airport but they had separate flights - his left just before European airspace choked up, but hers was 20 minutes later and was canceled.
While they waited five days for a flight, she said, "My biggest worry was the baby."
She and other passengers around the world, while relieved at getting airborne at last, showed continued concern about the ash. "I've read that the exploratory flights were safe, but I'm still a bit worried," she said.
Australia's Qantas canceled its Wednesday and Thursday flights from Asia to Frankfurt and London, as well as return flights to Asia, saying the situation was too uncertain to resume flights into Europe.
Truck driver Mike Kelly, 62, and his wife Wendy, 60, of Somerset, England, decided to wait out the ash in Sydney.
They were heading home after a four-week vacation to visit their son in Sydney when the volcano ash cloud shut down most European airports and left them stranded at Singapore's Changi International Airport for five nights.
"We're heading back to Sydney today. We heard there might be another volcano explosion so we'd prefer to wait it out on a beach in Sydney," he said. "I was supposed to be back at work on Monday but there's nothing anyone can do."
The optimism about airport reopenings was tempered by a statement from the British National Air Traffic Service early Tuesday, which said "the volcanic eruption in Iceland has strengthened and a new ash cloud is spreading south and east towards the U.K."
British air traffic controllers kept London's main airports closed Tuesday. Flights have resumed in Scotland, but in a limited way and only for a handful of domestic flights.
Europe's aviation industry - facing losses of more than $1 billion - criticized government handling of the disruption that grounded thousands of flights to and from the continent.
But the international pilots' federation said Tuesday that a return to flight operations in Europe will be possible only if the final decisions are left to the pilots themselves, and are based on safety concerns rather than being economically driven.
Gideon Ewers, spokesman of the London-based pilots group, says historical evidence of the effects of volcanic ash demonstrates that it presents a very real threat to flight safety.
Ash and grit from volcanic eruptions can sabotage a plane in many ways, stalling engines, blocking fuel nozzles, and plugging the tubes that sense airspeed.

Dear All,
After having received quite a handful of queries and remarks regarding the name I have chosen, i.e., KSSBABY, I decided to give a short and genuine explanation for the same.
KSS being short for Karan Singh Surana and BABY coming from 'All The Best, BABY', which as most you know is my debut yet-to-be published novel (and the fact that my baby inspired me to start my own blog has no connection whatsoever) 😛
Sorry for disappointing those of you who expected an I between the K and S. 😀
Very soon i'm gonna upload a portion from my novel. So stay hooked.
And yes, a very Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Indians. Stay Happy. Stay United. Stay Blessed. Keep Smiling 🙂

According to Longrich, the find settled the debate about whether snakes adapted on land or on water.
"This is the most primitive fossil snake known, and it's pretty clearly not aquatic," said Longrich, explaining that the snake's tail wasn't paddle-shaped for water use and it had no fins, and likewise the structure of its short snout and long trunk indicated a burrower snake.
Longrich was expecting an in-between species which would suggest an evolution of the snake species, but he was "really blown away" to find a full-fledged snake - just with legs.
He said he saw "a lot of very advanced snake features" such as hooked teeth, a flexible jaw and spine, as well as scales.
"And there's the gut contents - it's swallowed another vertebrate. It was preying on other animals, which is a snake feature. It was pretty unambiguously a snake. It's just got little arms and little legs."

Media reports of an EU plan to ban the Union Flag from British meat products are not true.
As explained to The Daily Express before it published today's article – similar ones have also appeared in the Mail and Telegraph,which did not even contact us – European Commission proposals on the labelling of pre-packaged fresh meat (from sheep, goats, poultry and pigs) will not prevent the use of the Union Jack or of other EU Member State flags. Neither will they prevent the use of additional geographical labels such as Welsh or Scottish. Private logos such as the Red Tractor logo will still be permitted, too.
The Commission is looking to introduce clearer labelling of Member State origin. That will make sure that when customers buy meat labelled as British they know it really is British and not, for example, just imported for slaughter. This will be done without placing unnecessary burdens on producers and retailers.
The Express report – and others in some specialist media – seem to be based on incorrect information received from various sources, including Defra.
Current discussions are focused on "compulsory rules" for labelling of pre-packaged fresh meat – including the clearer specification of Member State of origin mentioned above.
The use of flags and private logos is a different issue. It will be covered under separate proposed rules on "voluntary labels". This is because – while the Commission has no intention of banning flags and other logos on pre-packaged meat – it does not intend either to propose making them compulsory.

Efren Reyes in His First Predator World Tournament of 14.1 !
Queens, New York - Finally! The Magician will weave his magic for the very first time in a world competition for straight pool. 14.1 fans will be going crazy to see Efren showing his cue ball mastery in the ultimate game of patterns and control. Reyes can be seen at the Predator 72nd World Tournament starting on July 29th - August 3rd, 2012 at Carom Cafe in New York City. Fans and players alike can checkout www.Worldstraightpool.com for exclusive interviews with the pro stars, and all the latest and even archive news of the World Tournament. Dragon Promotions in conjunction with Dr. Michael Fedak is bringing the greatest straight pool players in the world to the greatest 14.1 event existing.
"Efren is a legendary talent and he represents a nation that has risen to the very top of the pool world. His presence at the tournament raises the temperature of the competition, the enthusiasm of the fans, and enhances its stature as a true world class tournament," said Dr. Fedak, the World Tournament's main benefactor.
Philippines pro sports analyst Bob Guerrero of Yahoo! Sports Philippines says: "I read he made a century run in a 14.1 tournament years ago. He could do it again. Straight pool may not be his game, but for sure he can figure it out and go deep, just like Dennis Orcullo and Django Bustamante have done before at the World Tournament. 14.1 is the easiest game and the hardest game rolled into one. But one thing is sure, Efren is still a top 10 favorite to win. He's so experienced that I'm certain he will be fine."
|Efren has been captivating the minds of pool fans for decades and has been the people's champion around the world
Japan's top billiard site journalist Takao Takayama of www.onthehill.jp concurs:"Efren is an older player, so it is difficult for him to pot long distance shots. But in 14.1, with more balls on the table, he will play better. The math for Efren is this; 10-ball better than 9-ball, 8-ball better than 10-ball, and 14.1 better than 8ball. He won't leave himself many difficult shots. So of course he has a chance. If he wins, I will not be surprised at all." Japan will be having their national Japan 14.1 tournament this weekend and the top winner will likely attend the Predator World Tournament.
The Official Equipment of the World Tournament is Olhausen Tables, Championship Cloth, Kamui Chalk, and Predator Cues.
Tickets will be sold at the door during the event. Tickets for the Straight Pool Hall of Fame Banquet can be bought in advance online at www.worldstraightpool.com
Daily match times and complete tournament schedule will also be on the site.

DunKing: Blake Griffin
Blake Griffin, the young power forward for the Los Angeles Clippers, is a superb athlete and a terrific dunker. He possesses the lift and the power to execute and make those monstrous dunks with ease. Even if you try to block and stop him, he will still soar and overpower you, and finally, dunk on you.

NBA Grapevine: Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups involved in potential 3- way trade
There are rumors on the NBA grapevine that an imminent deal is on hand involving three parties- the Denver Nuggets, New Jersey Nets and the Detroit Pistons.
The Carmelo Anthony situation in Denver is becoming untenable day by day ever since the All Star forward indicated that he wants out of the Mile High City and the Nuggets are pushing hard to get as much value in return if they are to part with their prized player.
The deal is said to involve shipping the Nets' Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, and two first round picks to the Nuggets, who will then send Anthony and Billups to New Jersey in return.
The deal will also send disgruntled Pistons guard Rip Hamilton to the Nets in exchange for power- forward Troy Murphy and his $8 million expiring contract which will be shouldered by the Pistons.

Nishikori beats Querrey to advance at Japan Open
TOKYO (AP) Local favorite Kei Nishikori advanced to the quarterfinals of the Japan Open with a 7-6 (3), 6-3 victory over Sam Querrey on Wednesday.
Second-seeded Nishikori set up match point with a blistering backhand down the line and won with a forehand smash, securing his third straight win in seven matches against the unseeded Querrey.
"With the strong wind and playing against a big server like him, I needed a lot of concentration," Nishikori said. "After winning the tiebreak, I was able to settle down and relax more in the second set."
French Open champion and top seed Stan Wawrinka avenged last year's opening round defeat to Tatsuma Ito, by beating the 116th-ranked Japanese 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 to book his place in the quarterfinals.
"It was a tough match and after losing to him last year, I am happy to have gotten through," Wawrinka said. "I tried to mix up my play in the third set to move him around more. I have one day off now and will train to be ready for my next match."
The 25-year-old Nishikori, who is bidding for his third Japan Open title, has now reached the quarterfinals or better at 13 of his past 16 tournaments.
There were no break point opportunities in the first set, and Nishikori won five of the first six points in the tie-break.
The sixth-ranked Nishikori broke Querrey to go up 2-1 in the second set and never let his opponent back in the match.
He will next face either sixth-seeded Marin Cilic or Steve Johnson.
Cilic outlasted Donald Young 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 in a first round match.
Third-seeded Gilles Simon of France also advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic. Simon will face Luxembourg's Gilles Muller, a 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5) winner over Jeremy Chardy of France.

Studies Show China Continues to Lag in Effective Tobacco Control
November 16, 2015
WATERLOO, Ont. (Monday, November 16, 2015) – Efforts over the past seven years to reduce tobacco use in China have been strikingly ineffective and leave tobacco use a top threat to the health and economic well-being of the world's largest country, according to research findings by the University of Waterloo's International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (ITC Project).
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of tobacco, with more than 300 million smokers. The annual tobacco related death toll of 1.4 million, including approximately 100,000 deaths due to exposure to second-hand smoke is expected to triple by 2050.
Ten articles just published in a supplement of the journal Tobacco Control report findings from research conducted in China by the ITC Project, a 23-country partnership led by Waterloo professor Geoffrey T. Fong that examines the impact of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC). China joined the FCTC in 2006.
"The new ITC studies demonstrate the urgent need for the Chinese government to accelerate progress towards ending the tobacco epidemic across several key policy fronts including a national comprehensive smoke-free law, pictorial health warnings, and strong controls on misleading marketing and harmful cigarette design practices," said Professor Fong.
In collaboration with the Tobacco Control Office of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the ITC Project conducted surveys of more than 5,000 adult smokers and 1,000 non-smokers in seven cities in China in 2006, 2007-08, 2009, and 2011-12.
China's slow progress in implementing strong FCTC policies is evident across the studies. For example, in one paper, authors estimate that China's decision to implement text-only health warnings, rather than pictorial warnings resulted in an estimated 28.5 million fewer smokers noticing the warning. This estimation is based on ITC comparative surveys in Malaysia showing a 12.5 per cent increase in noticing warnings after they were changed from text to pictorial warnings, compared to an increase of only 3.1 per cent in China.
Another study reports people were smoking in more than two-thirds of restaurants visited by smokers, and more than half of indoor workplaces, indicating ongoing high levels of second-hand smoke exposure in public places.
Comparisons to other countries in the ITC Project show how far China lags in protecting their people against second-hand smoke. Smoking bans in Ireland and France, for example, led to a decrease of smoking in restaurants from over 70 per cent to less than 5 per cent. In China the largest decrease was from 93 per cent in 2007-08 to 67 per cent in 2011-12 after Beijing implemented a partial smoking ban in restaurants.
"China is unfortunately a world leader in second-hand smoke exposure: among the countries we work in, China has the highest rates of smoking in workplaces and homes, and among the highest rates in restaurants and bars. This puts the health of millions of non-smokers at risk every single day," said Professor Fong, lead author of the article.
China banned descriptors such as light, mild, or low tar on cigarette packages in January 2006 in accordance with Article 11 of the FCTC, and the maximum tar yield on cigarettes was lowered in 2011. However, two articles in the Tobacco Control Supplement found that other marketing strategies such as white or light blue package colours are still used to create misperceptions among smokers that such brands are less harmful, and that changes in cigarette design are being used to meet reduced tar limits.
In order to reduce these misperceptions, the researchers recommend removing tar and nicotine numbers from packs, in addition to banning misleading descriptors.
