7th December 2016
On Monday we hosted the English Schools Championships here at Raine's. Over 180 competitors with their coaches packed into the sports hall. From Raine's we entered teams in the U13, U16 & U19 Boys categories and the U16 girl's category. The teams performed well throughout the day and the standard was very high.
U16 Girls – Gold Medal Winner - (Jaynath, Sacha, Lamonte, Lauren & Jada) Our U16 Girls exceeded expectations and came away winners. I'm really happy for them because all their hard work and hours of training has gained them Gold!
U16 Boys – Silver Medal Winners - (Naequan, Shavain, Shaun D & Kian) These boys battled all the way to the final, with some tough matches on the way. Competing against some of the best players in the country, some of who play in the highest leagues.
U19 – Silver Medal Winners - (Nathan, Shaun, Mayowa, Samuel & Ardi) Again a really competitive day for this U19s team – but they proved they can compete with the best in East London.
U13 Boys – Michael, Isaac, Mehmet & Emmanuel O Unfortunately it was not their day. Their first really big competition and their nerves got the better of them. They got to the ¼ finals and were knocked out. These boys have put in a huge amount of hours and have trained tirelessly for this competition. I was disappointed for them but proud of the way they battled all the way to the end.
Well done to all the teams. I am extremely proud of the way they played and the way they represented Raine's. Looking forward to the Individual competition which I sure will see them compete against each other!
Please congratulate them for their effort and hard work if you see them.

It's very easy, and very human, to seek to place blame for decisions that don't work out. A thousand factors can influence outcomes, but we often discount the single biggest one: Our own reactions.
This really comes home when you think about driving. Modern automobiles are cutting-edge when it comes to safety. We have airbags in all directions, seatbelt laws are commonplace and most other drivers are courteous to a fault.
Yes, a random truck could run a red light and kill you. Yes, bad things happen all the time. But you do in fact control a lot of what happens when you get behind the wheel. Getting foggy? Turn on your low beams. Tired? Pull over and rest.
Most significantly, nearly any touchy traffic situation is most quickly and easily remedied just by making the choice to slow down and avoid whatever is ahead of you. That's hard to do at high speeds on slick roads, but driving fast in the rain is a choice you made, isn't it?
Investing isn't that different. If you are the kind of person who freaks out when stocks drop a half-percent in a day, you probably shouldn't be 100% stocks. If you own an individual company's shares and find yourself obsessing over its price daily or even hourly, maybe you shouldn't buy individual shares.
If you're one of those very thick-skinned types who can put money into a fund and forget about it for years, great. Most of us aren't, and especially when balances get higher and start to feel like "real money."
Here's the trick: Slow down and assess. Ask yourself a few basic investment risk questions:
1. If the stock market fell by 20% in the course of a few weeks, would I sell, hold or buy?
2. Do I honestly believe (and do my past actions show) that I prefer investments that can decline substantially but promise better long-term results?
3. Or, do I believe (and do my past actions show) that I prefer investments that do not vary much in value but might have a lower long-term performance result?
If you answered "sell" to question number one and affirmatively to question number three, you're a risk-averse investor by nature. If you answered "buy" and affirmed number two, you are probably more comfortable with a higher-risk portfolio.
Down the middle? A portfolio that middling on risk is a better fit for you.
You can, and should, be invested in a way that matches your ability to manage your own reactions. Like slowing down in tight traffic, it helps have time to gauge what's going on and make better choices.
The ultimate investment portfolio is one that fits your personality and promises to deliver the results you expect with a minimum of risk, while doing so at the lowest possible cost. We all deserve to arrive at our retirement goals on time, safe and sound. A risk-adjusted portfolio is thus a big step in the right direction for retirement-oriented investors.

The Inter Agency Mutual Aid Agreement, signed by nearly all of the police chiefs in Middlesex County and joined by chiefs in Norfolk and Essex counties, was the product of a year-old working group of the Middlesex County Chiefs of Police Association.
It is an example of how vital it is, especially in this day and age, to pool our resources and work together to achieve our public safety and law enforcement goals.
The Mutual Aid Agreement allows municipal police departments to enforce the law and work together regardless of invisible boundaries. It improves the quality of life in our communities, and it is already leading to progress in the investigation of property crime across town borders.

PARAMUS, N.J. -- A Bergen County native paying respects to his late mother-in-law was shocked to find the graves of military veterans at George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus covered with grass and weeds.
"Some stones were completely covered over. Some said Purple Heart recipients," Sean Murphy told Facebook. "You have to dig to see that they're even there.
"You would never see Holy Cross looking like this -- it's horrible," Murphy said. "If nothing else, they should get VFWs or Boy Scout troop coming here to clear all these graves."
"Me and the kids cleared a couple graves off that were nearby my mother-in-law's. We could have spent the day here [clearing more].
"Something should be done to clean this up," the North Arlington native said.
"I go out there at least once a year and clean off the grave sites, too," added Robert E. Kirsch of Hackensack. "Our volunteer firefighters go to our brothers buried there days before Memorial Day to clear off the markers, since most of their family has also passed or moved on. Sad, very sad."
"I have to go to the office and get a maintenance worker to come to the graves with me and clear the makers. So much for perpetual care," Paramus native Nancy Ehret von Seekamm said. "Wouldn't this be a great Eagle Scout or Gold Star project? I wonder if the cemetery would allow it."
Managers at George Washington Memorial Park -- a non-profit, non-sectarian association founded 78 years ago -- couldn't immediately be reached on Saturday.
However, at least one borough resident spoke on their behalf.
"Does anyone realize how many grave sites there are at the cemetery? Thousands," Stacey Evans Sheridan wrote. "Do you know how long it will take to clean up each individual grave stone?
"The graves right now are going for around $3,000. Do you have any idea the amount of manpower it would take and how much it would cost to 'clean up' each grave?" she added.
"It is in their contract and even right on their website that they do minimal care for the graves," Sheridan wrote. "That means mowing, snow removal and trash removal. If the grave is overgrown, no one goes to clean it up. I go 3-4 times a year to clean up my families' [graves]."
Along with many veterans and public servants, it is the final resting place for, among others, New York Yankees catcher Elston Howard, two members of the Isley Brothers snging group, Marin and O'Kelly, legendary rhythym and blues singer Clyde McPhatter (who sang with the Billy Ward & the Dominoes and the Drifters) and R&B and soul singer/songwriter Luther Vandross.

Unforgettable Exhibition—Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion
by Winny LinCo-chair of South Bay Chapter, USCPFAIt was almost by accident that I learned of the exciting and informative exhibition now at the Chinese Historical Society of America's museum on Clay Street in San Francisco Chinatown. Two friends had casually mentioned it on Facebook and I knew at once that it was a "must see". The exhibition is called "Chinese American:Exclusion/Inclusion".
The museum describes the exhibition as "a gift from the New York Historical Society which traces the Chinese American experience since the beginning of trade between the United States and China in 1784 through the turbulent struggle for equal rights and opportunities in this country." However the SF Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) also has added elements which bring a West Coast perspective to it.
I have long been very interested in the Chinese experience in America. I am getting more familiar with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, have recently visited Angel Island, the entry point for many Chinese immigrants, and read many memories by Chinese American authors. So, this exhibition was immediately and powerfully attractive. I was also eager to learn more about the CHSA and its programs. When my friends and I visited the museum on November 16, we we treated to a wonderful experience which no one should miss or no Chinese-Americans should miss. Three aspects of the exhibition stand out to me:
1. United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898)
First there is an examination of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and its dreadful impact on Chinese immigrants. But then I learned about the 1898 Supreme Court case of U.S. vs Wong Kim Ark. Using a small section of the Exclusion Act as its rational, a California court refused to readmit Wong back into America after his visit to China. Wong was born in the US of parents here legally and held that the 14th amendment to the Constitution guaranteed his citizenship. The Supreme Court ruled in his favor and that ruling continues to grant citizenship those born here. This is the first time I have heard of this story. I am very proud that one of our own had the courage to carry the struggle all the way to the Supreme Court.
2. Jake Lee, the artist and his paintingsThe second is the paintings of Jake Lee (1915-1991), a well-known watercolor artist in the San Francisco area. The paintings themselves caught my eye because of the historical relevance, but Lee's story is also very interesting. In 1959 the owner of Kan's restaurant in Chinatown commissioned Lee to make 12 paintings with themes that celebrated the Chinese experience in the United States especially in SF. Kan hung them all in his restaurant, but they somehow disappeared upon Kan's death. Fortunately, CHSA has found eight of them at auction and they are a superb addition to the exhibition. The paintings shown below one depicts the festival scene with a lion dance and the other tells the story of brave Chinese workers building the transcontinental railroad.
In conclusion, I just want to say how thankful I am that there is a group like CHSA dedicated to keeping the history of us Chinese-Americans alive and well. The museum gathers and promotes the social, cultural and political history of the Chinese in America and their ongoing contributions to American life.The third standout was partially hidden away in a backroom. My friend, Carol Louie, pointed out those miniature models to me and I instantly fell in love with all the intricate and detailed designs, including furniture and household items. Taken together they show the life lived in San Francisco's Chinatown from 1940's to the present day. The pieces are the work of a self-taught, 81-yr-old artist named Frank Wong. Here is a photo that I took of the kitchen. It is crammed with old-fashioned wall paper, linoleum floor, but the most interesting part to me is what is inside those cabinets.
I wonder if they would some time in the future do an exhibition of the contemporary Chinese-American achievers like Elaine Chao ( appointed by Donald Trump as the next Secretary of Transportation ), I. M. Pei (architect), Vera Wang (fashion design), Bruce Lee (martial arts and film industry ), Jeremy Lin (Sports), Gary Locke (former ambassador to China) and more. There is so much we should be proud of and need to be reminded of.

IEEE 1675, "Standard for Broadband Over Powerline Hardware," provides testing and verification standards for the commonly used hardware, primarily couplers, for BPL installations, and provides suggested installation methods to supplement a utility's or contractor's installation procedures.
BPL provides the ability to send high-speed digital data over the power lines between substations and homes and offices, turning every wall outlet into a portal to the Internet.
"This standard will give both power utilities and the BPL industry the ability to confidently pursue a BPL installation," says Terrence Burns, Chair of the Broadband over Power Line Standards Working Group, which developed IEEE 1675. "It provides for the protection of and safe operation by utilities personnel, as well as the safety of non-utility workers."
IEEE 1675 was sponsored by the Power System Communications Committee of the IEEE Power Engineering Society.

May 1, 1998
At the last dinner party I went to, Plumb Design was the focus of awestruck testimonials. A new-media producer declared the company's work to be "the only interesting stuff on the Web," and a divinity-school graduate said Plumb had "the most beautiful metaphors for thought" she'd ever seen. Our entire table seemed under the spell, as if Plumb Design's youthful crew had created some of the greatest masterpieces of modern art.
Even without the hyperbole produced by wine, candlelight, and company, Plumb Design's pretty impressive. In less than a year, the tiny six-person firm has managed to snag contracts with places like the Smithsonian and National Geographic, winning rave reviews for its "beautiful," "innovative," and "breakthrough" technology and site design.
Perhaps the best-known illustration of Plumb Design's work is the Visual Thesaurus, a demonstration of the company's Thinkmap technology. Thinkmap is one of those rare software solutions that isn't simply a decorated electronic version of an existing idea, but an elegant addition to thought itself. Written in Java, its Maplets make navigation, not just content, part of the process of understanding. As words float across the screen like shooting stars, darkening and brightening, you begin to understand the complexity of language and the relationships between words, as objects animated in 3D space touch and connect and spin off each other.
But a more practical side to Plumb's software is that it may help organize massive amounts of information and display data in ways that are more useful than the current systems. For example, imagine a business logic application that uses Thinkmap to analyze the flow of information within a company. You might map the hierarchy of a company with, say, 10,000 employees and overlay all of the emails that pass between all the employees. "You could have a much better picture of the information flow in the office," says director of technology Marc Tinkler, "to be able to better assess how effectively your company is structured." Thinkmap can represent this information graphically and in real time, using sliders and other tools to change the information as it's being viewed, allowing users to make qualitative judgments on the fly.
As you might imagine, Plumb Design is growing fast: In addition to the company's work designing Web sites and museum installations, it's going after clients with large databases, taking advantage of the craze for "database visualization" to offer its own innovative tools to information publishers. CEO Mary Azzarto wants a new programmer who will be involved in the further development of Thinkmap: "someone who has a strong understanding of where the technology is, and can develop it on a conceptual basis."
Plumb Design's intimate office demands a responsible, sane, creative grown-up "who enjoys working with smart people," says Mary. The group has a notable preponderance of architects, and needs programmers who understand not just visualization technologies for databases but also the intellectual and aesthetic elements of "data animation" software that creates animated displays of real-time information. Java expertise is a must, with strong UI design skills and a knowledge of the fundamental structures of computer science, along with a deep understanding of object-oriented programming. The ability to work independently and spin off new projects is valued. "And," adds Mary firmly, "everyone who works for Plumb Design is expected to have a healthy, well-balanced life outside of the company."
You'll be on lower Broadway, just north of the New Museum and Soho's galleries. But don't be surprised if you wind up spending more time at your desk, watching words zip across the sky - where the real art is these days. Salaries and benefits are competitive; the cachet that gets you talked about at dinner parties is worth just a little extra.

It's great to surprise a reader with the unexpected, helping give a twist to the plot and the character, but whatever transpires, it must have credibility. Unless she's a prodigy, a twelve year old girl is not going to solve the murder of her parents that happened ten years earlier. A surgeon who graduated from Harvard is not likely to leave a sponge behind in his patient's abdomen. If you go for low probability events, or extreme twists, you have to back them up with plausible explanations. The "willing suspension of disbelief" only goes so far. Once a reader becomes skeptical that the writer doesn't know what he or she is talking about, it's tough to win them back.
Great characters, to enhance their arc, should have a fourth or fifth gear that seems to come out of nowhere. For example, villains can turn into heroes with an act of kindness that we would never have anticipated, yet when we read the novel closely, we realize that the seed of kindness was planted by the writer from the beginning. Similarly, characters we start off admiring suddenly disappoint us when they hurt someone they love. If they don't realize what they've done, figuring out the "why" makes them even more interesting. Well-conceived characters can help with plot troubles, too, if the writer wakes one morning and isn't sure where his or her story is going (happens to most of us). Instead of robbing a bank, for example, your destitute character decides to give away his last fifty dollars to a stranger. The wife who has been cheated on, instead of taking revenge on her husband, is filled with insights about her father. A deeply-felt, richly-imagined character is your writing buddy, your co-conspirator, and their importance to the final product can't be overstated.

Questioning your child's symptoms? I now offer NEBA. It is a EEG brainwave test; the first cleared by the FDA to help us determine if your child's symptoms are due to ADHD or some other condition. NEBA – along with a traditional diagnostic work up for ADHD – will help us understand better what's causing your child's symptoms. NEBA may confirm ADHD or NEBA may prompt us to look for other things that might be causing ADHD-like symptoms. This prevents over-diagnosis or over-medication.

Need back and hip stretches?
These stretches are so important. Do them EVERYDAY! The more we have become "sitters" at our jobs it has really added to the increase in low back pain. Many people we see have chronically tight hip flexors, the muscles that cross the front of the hip, and that adds tension across the low back. We treat low back pain almost daily and these stretches may not completely relieve that but may lower the frequency and intensity of those flare ups. Find this helpful?? Feel free to share and comment, we love to hear from you guys! STRETCH ON!!!!!!!!
Some of our favorite stretches
Shoulder stretch: Release neck and shoulder tension.Interlace your fingers, and raise your arms above your head, with your palms facing upwards. Try to keep your arms in line with your ears, while you look straight ahead and relax your shoulder blades down your back (don't shrug them up!) Let your arms fall down to your sides, roll your shoulders backwards and forwards a few times, then repeat the stretch, holding for a goal of 30 seconds for every stretch.
Eagle arms: Ease the deep-seated shoulder knots.Stand with your feet hip-distance apart. Hold your arms straight out from your sides, parallel to the floor. Swing your arms toward each other, bringing your left elbow over your right. Then bend your elbows, so the backs of your hands are touching. Now, hook one hand over the other so that your palms are facing each other. Once you have the arm wrap going, look straight ahead and try to keep your elbows lifted. Press your palms into each other, while you try to pull your elbows apart. Keep your shoulders relaxed. You should feel a powerful stretch in your neck and between your shoulder blades. Repeat the pose in the opposite position, holding for 30 seconds each side.

Rays consigliere Ken Rosenthal has a curious column up today about the tension between David Price and David Ortiz following Friday night's incident in which Price hit Ortiz, seemingly in retaliation for Ortiz watching his home run too long in last year's ALDS.
Rays' Price needs to take road most traveled — the high one
What is curious about the column is Rosenthal spends the first half going into great depth to explain that Price did exactly what many pitchers, including some on the Red Sox, would have done to Ortiz if faced with the same situation.
There is even the suggestion that Price gained a lot of respect by sending a much-needed message to Ortiz that he is not bigger than the game, despite his own words to the contrary.
But then the column takes a decided turn when Rosenthal criticizes Price for putting the game in jeopardy and his teammates in danger.
In the paragraph immediately after pointing out that Ortiz referred to Price as "a little girl" and "a little b*tch," and equated their beef with war, Rosenthal has this to say about Price:
"That's twice now that Price has come off as touchy, maybe even immature. And frankly, I'm starting to wonder what it might mean for him in the future."
I had to actually reread that sentence because I assumed at first he was referring to Ortiz and just mistakenly typed "Price."
Rosenthal's ultimate point is that he wished Price had taken the high road, a legitimate desire.
But Price did not do anything many other pitchers would have done or even wanted to do.
Price didn't throw at Ortiz's head the way Brandon Workman threw behind Evan Longoria's head, and it certainly wasn't Price who put Longoria in danger.
And Price didn't inflame the situation with moronic words and comparisons after the game.
If Rosenthal's point is that hitting a batter over pimping a home run is touchy and immature, that is fine. But don't single out Price when pitchers have been doing much worse for over 100 years.
Could Price have taken the high road and not thrown at Ortiz? Sure. But it would seem to me that Price is the least immature person in this saga, and Price did nothing more touchy or immature than any other pitcher who has ever felt wronged and hit a batter.

Wolf Like Me: New MGS5 The Phantom Pain TGS Trailer
I think I posted those Metal Gear Solid V Tokyo Game Show videos too soon. Not because the first set of videos were in Japanese – this one is too – but because the video released at the end of this weekend has introduces a new companion for
Solid Snake Big Boss: a wolf. A wolf with an eyepatch.
The new companion is called DD, after Diamond Dogs, the name of Snake's crew. As the video above shows, you find the pup in the jungle with its sadly departed mother, and can then use the same capture technique you use to turn guards and vehicles to your side. Eg, you tie a parachute to a baby animal and launch it into the sky, where a waiting plane scoops it up. (This is a thing which actually exists in some form, by the way).
Best of all, the pup has an eyepatch just like you.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is due for release next year, and has been confirmed to be coming to PC. We're also due to get the prequel chapter, Ground Zeroes, although there's no word as to when.

DeHumidification Technologies, LP provides humidity and temperature control services and equipment for the construction industry. We have developed the technology using temporary dehumidifiers and temperature control equipment to remove moisture and eliminate the problems on a construction site.
Moisture has always been a problem in the construction industry by creating an environment for mold and mildew to grow and improper curing of concrete and coatings. In the effort to complete projects as efficiently as possible, interruptions from moisture can cause delays on construction projects that will cost you time and money. Considering that historically the permanent HVAC system has been used to achieve this scope of work, it is our goal to help the contractor make the most economical choice. There are often delays in chillers, boilers, and gas lines to name a few that prevent the use of the buildings HVAC system in time for finishes.
DH Tech can offer supplemental equipment to assist the permanent HVAC systems deficiencies or in the case of LEED and other projects requiring a high level of IAQ (indoor air quality) as mandated by SMACNA. DH Tech can provide a whole system that will meet the goals of thermal comfort, increased ventilation and dehumidification during construction.
Benefits of dehumidification:
- Eliminates the need to clean the permanent ducting
- Joint compound dries in hours instead of days
- Concrete meets manufacturers standard in half the time (calcium chloride test)
- Proper conditions for hardwood storage and installation
- No cupping or curving of ceiling tiles
- Fireproofing will dry three to five times faster
- Prevention of mold or mildew growth
- Proper temperatures to apply coatings, floor adhesives, etc.
- Accurate testing for building materials
- Hardwood and millwork stabilization
DH Tech's solutions:
DH Tech uses desiccant and refrigerant-style dehumidifiers or a combination of both to provide dry air inside the building to draw out wet air from the work environment. The extremely dry air blown into the building has a low vapor pressure and draws moisture from the wet material, such as recently applied joint compound, concrete, paint, stored hardwoods, installed ceiling tiles, etc., to dry the material at an accelerated rate.
Our Continuous Monitoring Device (CMD) can be used to take continuous readings (temperature, relative humidity and dew point) to monitor conditions in the work area to maintain optimal conditions according to the project specifications.
If your schedule has been delayed by excessive concrete slab moisture or high interior humidity causing slow drywall and paint curing, we can help. Our services are used during the installation of wood flooring, millwork, cabinetry and ceiling tile. The applications and benefits are endless for this industry and your specific project. We provide a cost saving alternative for a healthy, completed project.

It's been more than a year since I first shared the basics of dry brushing—and yet, I've noticed that people keep finding Indigo+Canary with queries about dry brushing* that I haven't covered. So I thought I'd do a follow-up with some additional, more specific information and tips on equipment and techniques. Have a question to add? Leave it in the comments and I'll add it to the post! —Aleigh
Why does dry brushing leave me bruised? There are a few potential answers here: 1) Your skin is too sensitive for the brush you're using (or your skin is just sensitive, period). 2) You're using a brush that's too rough for your skin. 3) Your technique is a bit too firm and you should use a lighter touch.
Some people bruise no matter how soft the pressure or brush, but your skin will usually build up a bit of a tolerance. So if you like the benefits and can tolerate the bruising (at least temporarily), you may want to keep up the gentle brushing for a few weeks to see if the bruising decreases. Otherwise, try swapping your brush for something a bit more gentle!
Can you dry brush during pregnancy? To get an answer to this question, which is particularly important to me these days, I consulted with Sarah Villafranco of Osmia Organics. I was concerned that since dry brushing stimulates the lymph system in the same way massage does, it might be a good idea to ditch the dry brushing, at least during early pregnancy. (The traditional rule on massages and pregnancy: no massages before the second trimester, although you should always check with your doctor just in case.) As a doctor and a maker of natural beauty products, she's always a great resource. Here's her response:
"Dry brushing is perfectly fine during pregnancy. Only if there is a history of blood clots would I suggest avoiding it, and even then, it's a super conservative recommendation. It's nowhere near as deep as massage."
Can you dry brush with a loofah? Absolutely, yes. Depending on the scratchiness of the loofah and the sensitivity of your skin, you may want a softer tool than a loofah (and I find that it's usually easier to find softer-bristled brushes if you need one), but you can definitely use a loofah. You can also use a dry washcloth. I prefer a long-handled brush so that I can reach the middle of my back and other tricky areas with ease. But these other tools can absolutely get the job done.
How long until I see results? Well. I'm about to disappoint here, but the answer is, it depends. For starters, every body is different—it's impossible to give a specific timeframe that will be true for everyone. I can definitely say that you'll feel results—particularly that glowy, invigorated feeling—right away. But the other potential benefits of dry brushing, such as tightened skin, fewer stretch marks, etc. really depend on your body.

.. intel dumps about our origin and the deception we have been under for a very long time...
Remember light is information that makes us aware of things we where unaware of before. There will be lot's of kicking and screaming all over the globe when this happens. Why? Cause even the elected will find out that they to have been deceived to play key roles in this control scheme.... this has nothing to do with money (money is just a promissory note to pay no matter if it's represented by a coin, paper or electronically) it's all about control!!
Lots of data will be going over peoples head but those who choose to will get it others will simply turn their blind eye not matter how much evidence there is to support the facts.
There is one area though that will get everybody's attention and that is the financial sector since everything currently is connected to a financial system that is interlinked all over the globe effecting everyone directly or indirectly.
Thousand years ago Kings and Queens would not let their subjects in on knowledge that could make them make own sovereign choices in life thus struggling.
Today is no exemption!! The real "Kings" and "Queens" are not visible though, the ones that are visible are only puppets they are agents for forces mainly not seen or known.
The shift is about to hit the fan... and boy are people going to be upset and pissed off with all rights!!
One usually says that Karma is a bitch.. and this actually what is playing out.. cause Karma will hit the "controllers" on their way out... they know their time is up but what to do.. ah we do what we usually do plant major psyops all over the globe in order to keep people clueless...
What does this mean? Well all main stream media is filled with propaganda and disinformation meaning that we are not fully briefed on what is actually happening but what they want us to perceive. This is very cleverly done by having people in key positions thus pulling strings that way.
In Sweden the media generally goes along with what the US is advocating, just see the bulletins and bullying of Putin everywhere.. nobody asks the tough questions.
Russia has every resource they need so why the heck would they need this little parking lot in Scandinavia???
But the thing is that Germany, France, and the UK (there are more countries that have applied) are distancing themselves from the US by joining the Chinese development bank AIIB.. which is aimed for global infrastructure projects. Does sound differently than World Bank and IMF who are US puppets. Now, the new development banks BRICS and AIIB might be the same gal (same forces behind as current system this is very common playing both sides. Did you hear much about this in MSM? ) in another party dress but time will tell.. right?
Another thing is the corporate fiction entities called countries.. with governments that does not support the people but the corporate world! If this would not be the case we would not have poverty or wars!
The deception is even more easily spotted within the Pharmaceutical Industry. Vaccines and other medications are sold to doctors through institutions approval as the FDA or their equivalents in other countries. Why do you think there are so many "legal" settlements within this industry? See this list here. If the settlement is about 5-20 percent of the earnings they are laughing all they way to the Bank!
Then we have one of the largest control factor we are facing... and that is the self policing and judging of others by ridiculing them for their views. Who's responsibility is it to provide you with solid facts? It's not the government or any other authority it's up to YOU... to question and do you own research nobody else can do it for you.
This will soon be seen all over the globe when revelations will run havoc ... !
No matter what.. keep calm and balanced... it's not like this could not be seen on forehand.. ;)
If you suddenly find your self in a odd spot with a lot's of data you don't know what to do with.. know that you're not alone and that there is help. Don't be too hard on your self not seeing this before... cause it was cleverly disguised... <3
We are the ones we've been waiting for!

A Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) Worksheet can help you organize details of your improvement project and its outcomes.
Brainstorming is a method for generating many creative ideas in a short period of time.
The affinity diagram organizes many ideas into their natural relationships. This method taps a team's creativity and intuition
Bench-marking is a technique in which an organization measures its performance against that of other organizations, determines how high performing organizations achieved their performance levels and uses the information to improve its own performance.
A Pareto chart is a bar graph arranged with longest bars (most occurrences) on the left and the shortest to the right. In this way the chart visually depicts which situations are more significant.
A flowchart is a picture of the separate steps of a process in sequential order. This is a generic tool that can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes.
A spaghetti diagram is a visual representation using a continuous flow line tracing the path of a n item or activity through a process. The continuous flow line enables process teams to identify redundancies in the work flow and opportunities to expedite process flow.
The fishbone diagram identifies many possible causes for an effect or problem. It can be used to structure a brainstorming session. It immediately sorts ideas into useful categories.
Asking why 5 times: "the 5 Whys", is a simple but powerful tool to use with any problem-solving activity. It's a technique to help you get past the symptoms of a problem, and to find its root causes.
Failure modes effects analysis (FMEA) is a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in process and prioritizing according to how serious their consequences are, how frequently they occur and how easily they can be detected.
A prioritization matrix can help an organization make decisions by narrowing options down by systematically comparing choices through the selection, weighing, and application of criteria
A Gantt chart is a bar chart that shows the tasks of a project, when each must take place and how long each will take. As the project progresses, bars are shaded to show which tasks have been completed.
A responsibility (RACI) matrix describes the participation by various roles in completing tasks or deliverables for a project or business process.
Run charts are graphs of data over time and are one of the most important tools for assessing the effectiveness of change.
A control chart is a type of run chart that has a central line for the average, an upper line for the upper control limit and a lower line for the lower control limit, allowing you can draw conclusions about whether the process variation is consistent (in control) or is unpredictable (out of control).
Scorecards provide a high-level, one-page overview of a health system's long-term, strategic outcomes improvement goals for use by organizational leaders.
The radar (spider) chart is a graphical method of displaying data of three or more variables represented on axes starting from the same point and are particularly useful when examining several factors that are related to one item.
A3 Reports are one- page reports used for documenting the necessary information needed for progress reporting and decision- making. A3 Reports simplify project reporting because they pull from otherwise numerous, detailed progress reports and extensive background analyses.

In the meantime, I've also decided to throw in a bonus: Gimme a Call by the same author. I read Gimme a Call back last December, but never got around to reviewing it. This seemed like the best opportunity :) So enjoy it all!
Gimme a Call by Sarah Mlynowski
published by Delacorte Books for Young Readers (Random House) in April 2010
A new life is just a phone call away!Genre: YA, contemporary
Devi's life isn't turning out at all like she wanted. She wasted the past three years going out with Bryan—cute, adorable, break-your-heart Bryan. Devi let her friendships fade, blew off studying, didn't join any clubs... and now that Bryan has broken up with her, she has nothing left.
Not even her stupid cell phone—she dropped it in the mall fountain. Now it only calls one number... hers. At age fourteen, three years ago!
Once Devi gets over the shock—and convinces her younger self that she isn't some wacko—she realizes that she's been given an awesome gift. She can tell herself all the right things to do ... because she's already done all the wrong ones! Who better to take advice from than your future self?
Except... what if getting what you think you want changes everything?
Series: None
What do you need to know? The blurb is pretty accurate. Gimme a Call opens with our heroine, Devorah Banks aka Devi, at the mall, heart-broken. While Bryan, her boyfriend, has not broken up with her, for all intent and purpose, their relationship is over... And that's when Devi realizes that for the last three years, her life revolved solely around Bryan. She now finds herself alone with no friends, no hobby nor extra-curriculum activities, her prospects for college look bleak and the situation at home is less than ideal.
If Devi could go back in time, the most important thing she would do is warned her 14 years old self not to fall for Bryan... And that's exactly what she does when she realizes that after dropping her cell phone, it's working wonky and the only person she can reach is... herself, 3 years ago! Devi also decides to change her life around and sets the younger Devi on the right path: keep in touch with her friends, study hard, etc. But while Devi wants the best for herself, she can't help but be inexorably attracted to Bryan. Would going out with him really be that bad? And what happens when she tries too hard to change the future?
Why this book? I read this book for a couple of reasons. First, Ames really enjoyed Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Ms Mlynowski, so she was on my radar of author to read. Then, there was this cute cover (yes, I can be shallow at time) and I liked the concept of this one :) I don't exactly enjoy time travel, but I like the idea the future is not set in stone and can be changed. So I decided to give Gimme a Call a go :)
What I liked? I really, really enjoyed Gimme a Call. I pretty much enjoyed everything about it and it kept me engrossed till the end. I thought both the younger and older Devi were likable characters :) Yes, the older Devi was a bit pushy and selfish at times, but when you have the opportunity to change your future for the best, you take it... And it didn't only benefit her, it benefited the younger Devi as well. What I liked in this "relationship" is that the younger Devi wasn't just a drone and did what she was told. She questioned her older self, took risks - some with better results than others - and at the end of the day, was the wiser of the two :)
One thing that I thought was very well-done by Ms Mlynowski is that she managed to not reveal to the readers and younger Devi the cause of the break-up for the majority of the book. That added a little suspense and also insured that the reason behind it was not typical. I also liked the message about how important a balance life is that Gimme a Call imparted with the readership. Devi got lucky because she had a second chance, but no matter how much you are in love, you cannot lose sight of your future and friends as Devi did. Especially given how crucial those high school years; they're really the springboard to adulthood and the rest of your life for most people. I also really liked how Devi realized that friendship was important... And I think that the overall problem Devi was facing, getting caught up with their other half and as a result, letting their friendships fade, doesn't only happen when you're in high school, but also when you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s... So I personally felt I could relate to it - although I've never gone out with anyone steady.
Any Issues? I really liked the concept of Gimme a Call and I think Ms Mlynowski did a good job writing it. Younger Devi would do something and Older Devi would feel the effects of it right away, she could see the changes in her life... and not all of them, positive. What bothered me however is that it seemed Older Devi did not have any memories of the past three years. The only recollection she had was her own - going out with Bryan, finding herself alone. All she had to prove the changes were pictures and the results (like her college acceptance letters), not the progress... And I find that somewhat sad :( But this is really a minor issue and has more to do with my personal taste than the actual book.
My Grade? B+. I originally gave Gimme a Call a B... However, as I read more YA and have more books under the belt for comparison, I really think Gimme a Call is one of the better ones :)
published by HarperTeen (Harpercollins Publisher) in May 2011
2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house - parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.Genre: YA, contemporary
If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents"). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Throwing a Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery
to them.
In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart... one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time.
Series: None
What do you need to know? April's parents are divorced and April has seen first hand what her mother's betrayal did. So when her mother moved to France to marry her lover, April chose to live with her father in her hometown of Westport, Connecticut. So when her father announces that they are moving to Cleveland because he found a new job in the middle of her junior year, it doesn't go over well with April. She's not about to start in a new school in the middle of the year! Plus, her life - and boyfriend - is in Westport! She comes up with the perfect solution: she'll stay at Vi's, one of her best friends, house and finish the year... The only hiccup in the plan is that Vi's mother will not be there at all. So a small subterfuge starts... but it works and April gets to stay!
Once April starts to live with Vi, she realizes that being independent and responsible is not as easy she thought... and that life has many surprises in store for her.
Why this book? Having had a taste of Ms Mlynowski's writing with Gimme a Call, I was more open to give this book a try :) Plus, remember, Ames enjoyed this one a lot! Otherwise, based on the blurb, I have to admit I'd probably have skipped ^_^;
What I liked? Surprisingly, I ended up liking Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have). When I first start the book, I felt that April was not responsible... mainly because she lied to her father and that made me uncomfortable. See, the book opens with the end and the story is basically a long flashback of what happened to get there. So the beginning makes April looks quite bad... However, after you've read her journey, it all makes sense and it's no longer that bad :P Actually, you realize those months she lived on her own with Vi, she did her best... Yes, there were some errors of judgement, but overall, she didn't do badly and definitively gained in maturity :)
What I liked the most about Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) was the realistic feel of the book. Okay, some parts were a bit unrealistic like April and Vi's subterfuge of setting up two email accounts and pretending to be each other's parents to reassure them that everything was okay... And buying the hot tub - really? However, April's feelings and the stuff she goes through during this time - that felt really real. I also liked that Ms Mlynowski addressed April and her boyfriend's first time. How she got on the pill, etc. And how later on, there was talk about the pressure of the first time and how it caused him to cheat.
Seriously, I have to give credit to Ms Mlynowski because it's her writing and style that made the book. She doesn't beat around the bush and doesn't sugarcoat reality: her characters have sex, they drink, they stay out late and hang out... They act as normal teenagers do and it's something that I feel a lot of adults don't acknowledge. Oh you always hear about parents complaining about the adolescent years, but that has more to do with their moodiness and rebellious attitude towards authority. When it comes to sex, alcohol and swearing, they prefer to idealize their teens. The reality is that a lot of teenagers - not all of them, but a lot - have heard and use swear words such as damn, shit and the f-bomb. A lot of them become sexually active during those years and they might not be able to buy their own booze, but it doesn't stop them from finding ways to get some. So I really appreciated Ms Mlynowski's candor and in my opinion, it made Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) refreshing and a nice change of pace for a contemporary YA.
Any Issues? I don't know have any real big issues with the book itself... However, I simply didn't enjoy the story as much as I did Gimme a Call. I liked that Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) was very realistic, but I find I didn't connect as much with April and what happened to her.
My Grade? B-. Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) is a good contemporary YA, but probably better suited to a more matured audience. I'm glad that I have found another YA author to look out for :)

Newsletter N°24 - November 2016
Carrefour des Gestions Locales de l'Eau
Topkapi Version 6.0 will make its debut during the year end trade fairs (see calendar above) and readily available for first applications in France. In first deployments, we recommend implementing it within new projects rather than updating existing applications : contact your usual sales dealer to help you in your choices.
The primary innovation in this version is the integration of the new Webserv2 component, turning Topkapi into the first full HTML5 supervisor in the market. Resulting from a long development process and major investment in R&D, this new HTML5 display engine leverages the latest Web technologies to make your Topkapi applications accessible using a compatible Web browser.
Security, smooth browsing, portability and enhanced functionality (vs Webserv1) were our primary goals. For the other evolutions of version 6.0 (and there are quite a few), read on this new bulletin.
For higher performance, modern supervision tools must provide easy access to control/command from any general-purpose terminal, without prior installation or maintenance constraints. In the early 2000s, AREAL proposed its first version of the Webserv module, offering access to the Topkapi application using a standard Web browser. It was really successful, but considering the limits and osbolescence of the first technologies used, we decided to develop a new display engine based on the latest progress of HTML5 to meet user expectations in term of thin clients:
While most SCADA software publishers followed an easier path, using third-party software merely to encapsulate remote display of fat client stations through HTML5 (RDP technology), AREAL chose specific redevelopement from scratch to offer a rich, secured and upgradeable solution. Clients with contractual annual updates and the first generation Web server option will benefit from this new technology free of charge, with minimum adaptation to their application. AREAL shall maintain support of the Webserv1 technology for 3 years minimum to ensure smooth upgrading of the systems, while ensuring maximum compatibility with current browsers, but without however proposing functional evolutions.
For more details on the Webserv2 module, and particularly the implementation conditions, please refer to our web site at www.topkapi-scada.com/en/software/webserv2 or ask your usual contact for the Technical Sheet.
The following description presents the main developments linked with version 6.0. For more details, please refer to the V6 developments technical sheet accessible at www.topkapi-scada.com/en/users2/FT_V6 (user account required) or call your usual commercial contact.
New log data storage mode
This new version allows using a database engine (PostgreSQL) to store event logs, in all versions, TG, Basic, or Classic. This mode is optional, and Topkapi may be run with its traditional .HIS files only. This mode is required though for:
No specific DBMS skills are required:
License protection
Two types of software protection are available:
Protection by soft key requires the Topkapi license to be connected via the Internet with an authentication server hosted by AREAL for periodical activation check (if not possible with your achitecture, you shall use a dongle). This ensures more comfortable deployment in virtualized environments.
Remote Alarm Notification
Version 6.0 proposes a new Text-To-Speech stand-by service engine based on a Windows API not requiring the costly Speech Unit modem, by using a basic PSTN modem. For the recomendation of the latter, go to www.topkapi-scada.com/en/company/hardware-providers.
Other major evolutions:
Main evolutions related with the Reports module:
AREAL strives permanently to provide systems which are secured while preserving easy access to the information. We participate actively in the workgroup on security of SCADA systems headed by ANSSI*. Current and future developments consider ANSSI recommendations, which in version 6.0 translate concretely by:
*Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d'Information, a governmental body reporting to the Ministry of Defence (www.ssi.grouv.fr)

At yesterday's Startup Riot I enjoyed talking with a number of entrepreneurs. One item that kept coming up was partnership opportunities that entrepreneurs were excited about. Here are some example partnership opportunities:
- Invite to be on someone else's app store-like marketplace
- Desire to white label or OEM the product by a bigger company
- Exclusive reseller for a certain vertical or geography
Startups should say no to 99% of partnership opportunities. Most partnerships never go anywhere and don't make sense for the startup to invest significant effort into the relationship due to being time and money constrained. Partnership opportunities do make sense when there is significant skin in the game on behalf of the partner (e.g. large up-front fees) or a super minimal way to work together (e.g. less than 20 hours of work to get something out the door that is useful).
Now, it isn't that bigger companies are trying to take advantage of startups. Rather, bigger companies have more resources and less focus whereas startups are often looking for product/market fit and need to stay focused on work that's applicable to 80% of their desired customers. The next time someone approaches you with a partnership idea, ask yourself the hard questions and assess the downside as well as the upside.
What else? What are other reasons startups should say no to 99% of partnership opportunities?

(CNN) – Welcome to CNN Radio News Day.
Here are some of the stories we cover in today's edition:
"It's a much, much more volatile region that Israel has to face, and the Israeli leadership has to realize the volatility of its neighbors could easily spill-over. Not necessarily militarily, but politically and make this current situation even more complicated." FULL POST

(CNN) - This is the time in the school year when parents really have a sense of whether their children are struggling academically.
For those parents whose children are having a hard time with math, and are seeking help, one name seems to be popping up more and more: Salman Khan.
Each month, 7 million children and adults log on to Sal Khan's website, the Khan Academy, to get clear, entertaining, informal video tutorials on everything from basic addition to advanced calculus and more.
So who is Sal Khan? Where does he get his credibility?
Is it from the three degrees he earned from MIT or the Masters he received from Harvard after being raised by a single mother who struggled to make ends meet?
Is it from the raves he gets from Bill Gates who uses Khan's online videos for his own children?
Is it because he did not create the Khan Academy to make a fortune but to have an global impact on a critical area of education?
You can judge for yourself when you listen to Sal Khan tell his story on this CNN Profile.
It all began with Sal Khan's desire to help one young relative who was underperforming in her math class.
And then, as you will now hear, serendipity took over.
