|Business Poker
|Top managers (m/f) understand the logic of the game within a few minutes.
They are far more successful in estimating their opponents at the poker table than others. They often proceed more analytical and react less emotional in important decisions. On the other side, many successful poker players often are excellent business(wo)men, after their poker careers.
Discover what poker is and how it could help you in your daily life and of course we'll play a couple of rounds of No-Limit Texas Hold'em Poker.

|"Challenging the structures of power"
|What would the world look like if you waved a magic wand where anything could come true? The session aims to discuss how women can claim their position in a society where not everyone gets the same opportunities. How do we reduce the gender gap in management positions, and have more women taking up executive roles? Women account for less than a quarter of the management positions worldwide. Despite all the campaigns on equality and diversity, the trend has not changed leaving us wondering what could be done differently. How can women prepare themselves to serve in top positions, when is the right time to ask for change and what should they expect from corporates and policy makers? Is it enough that females take on these formally traditional roles, or do we need to look further into the organizational structures and power inequalities at play?
This session will have thought provoking, experienced, female speakers outside of JCI who share their experiences and inspiration.
Following the inspiring panel speakers, we would like to open the floor for more action oriented discussion by the participants where we will seek for new ideas, things to try and implement in an agile way to empower females and non-binary individuals to take on leadership roles within JCI and/or their communities. Ie. not just talking about things - but developing the next steps and testing them out. By inspiration, experience and testing out new ideas, we can move mountains. What kind of magic will you add to this session?

|In today's ever changing inter-connected world, we see so much innovation, creativity, and collaboration coming from the entrepreneurship community of startups. More and more companies realize how important it is to infuse that entrepreneurial mindset into the workplace, but they don't always know how to do it.
About 10 years ago Ronen Gafni and Simcha Gluckstarted FreshBiz. This game is a business simulation that speaks to all cultures and backgrounds by understanding basic human behavioral elements. The experience is both fun and profound. Playing the game physically rewires the brain to become more open, flexible and creative.
During the 60 minutes of game play participants must work together, communicate and be creative, in order to overcome challenges & win the game as a team. The FreshBiz Game experience gives immediate reflection on how people play business in real life, what holds them back and what makes them shine. It also demonstrates what's possible when we choose to play with a fresh mindset & let go of old beliefs which no longer serve us.

A go kart is one of the greatest joys of a young boy's life. Speed, power, freedom of the open road!
Build a go kart with these easy to use plans. Many of the parts you'll need can be fabricated. Other parts like go kart wheels and brakes can be found from an online supplier.
This project is set up for a one-seater go kart, but it can just as easily be customized to a two-seater configuration. We suggest a two seats, since your kids will probably try to carry a friend with them if there's a seat or not.
We like that these vintage go kart plans really haven't needed to change much. Modern karts have roll bars, and that's a very good addition to a go kart design, but otherwise "keeping it simple" is the rule of thumb on these machines.
Go carts generally use a 5 HP tiller motor. This is not a lawn mower engine; it must be a horizontal shaft motor, not a vertical shaft like most lawn mowers are. A lawn mower engine's oil and gas delivery systems are not set up for changing the orientation. However, if you can design a conversion, let us know and we'd love to add it to our projects.
Live axles are used on some carts, but we suggest from experience that you do not use a live axle. It's just as easy to run the sprocket to the drive wheel and not have to deal with a live axle. Additionally, if both wheels turn at the same rate, then there are turning difficulties.

The Child's Child
The Child's Child
Ruth Rendell's novels written as Barbara Vine resist easy categorization. They are nothing like the police procedurals of her Inspector Wexford series, nor are they more traditional novels of suspense such as her stand-alone titles. Instead, they could best be described as portraits of the psyche, often the psyche of deeply troubled or damaged individuals. In THE CHILD'S CHILD, certainly one of Vine's best recent novels, she continues this inward exploration even as she uses the book to explore social issues over time.
"Comparing the experiences of John and Maud with those of Grace and Andrew more than 60 years later offers much scope for thought and consideration about how far society has come --- and how far we still have to go."
Framed as a novel-within-a-novel, THE CHILD'S CHILD opens in London in 2011, where sister and brother Grace and Andrew Easton live in their late grandmother's Victorian house, which they've inherited. The twenty-something siblings are close, and they find the cohabitation (each one occupies one-half of the sprawling mansion) pleasant. Grace has always wondered, though, what might happen when one of them wants to invite a boyfriend home to live with them. She finds out the answer to her question in short order, as Andrew begins spending more and more time with his boyfriend, James, who soon enough is practically living at the house.
Grace and James rub each other the wrong way right away. Grace, who's writing a dissertation on the literary treatment of unwed mothers and their illegitimate children in 19th- and early 20th-century novels, infuriates James, who argues that homosexuality, not illegitimacy, involves a much more serious and long-standing stigma, one that persists into the present day. James's point seems to be borne out when he and Andrew witness the beating death of a young friend of theirs outside a gay club. Grace, preoccupied by James's new role in her life as well as by her own unexpected pregnancy, turns her attention to reading a previously unpublished (and unpublishable) novel from the mid-20th century, one with eerie similarities to the situation in which she and her brother find themselves now.
The novel, also called The Child's Child, is set in the years before and during World War II. As it opens, a young man named John Goodwin is just starting out in a teaching career, swearing to himself that he will set aside his sexual relationship with another young man as "sinful." Meanwhile, his 15-year-old sister Maud has become pregnant after two encounters with a neighborhood boy. The siblings come from a solidly middle-class family, but that doesn't protect them from fierce shame and criticism. They concoct a plan to enable them to live their lives as quietly and positively as possible, by posing as husband and wife rather than brother and sister. But this deception feeds on itself and ultimately results in happiness for neither sibling. Vine's portrayal of Maud, in particular, shows how a single act of betrayal can result in a lifetime of resentment.
THE CHILD'S CHILD impressively situates these two social issues --- illegitimacy and homosexuality --- within specific historical context. Vine also shows how reaction to these ideas remains gendered and complex. Comparing the experiences of John and Maud with those of Grace and Andrew more than 60 years later offers much scope for thought and consideration about how far society has come --- and how far we still have to go.

upped the console's sales during its launch week by 138 percent. The 12 GB model launches across Europe tomorrow. Earlier this month Sony also announced 4 million PS3 sales in France.
"This is another historic moment for the PlayStation brand, and something I'm incredibly proud of," said Fergal Gera, SCE vice-president and managing director for UK & Ireland, "I'd like to thank all our consumers, retailers and 3rd party partners for helping us achieve this figure, and look forward to continued success."
The last revealed UK milestone for PS3 came in early 2011, when Sony announced 4 million sales of its home console. Microsoft tends to stick to worldwide sales figures, and the last time the company did that was in May, revealing a figure of 67 million. That compares to 64 million sales for PS3, which Sony revealed two months prior in March. The Nintendo Wii remains the home console leader according to latest figures, with 96.5 million worldwide sales as of June 2012.

Vietnam wants to deepen cooperation with India in all fields on the basis of their special trust, particularly in national defence and security, according to Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
At his meeting on April 3 with India's national security adviser Ajit Kumar Doval, who has been on a visit to Vietnam, the PM said Vietnam and India has a special friendship relationship that has been built up through many generations of leaders.
He affirmed that Vietnam always remember the great support and assistance the Indian people gave to Vietnam during its struggle for independence as well as national reconstruction.
The PM made it clear that Vietnam supports India's "Act East" policy as well as its strengthening of strategic partnership with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
While suggesting the two sides should boost cooperation in all fields from politics-foreign affairs to economy-trade and investment, the PM asked India to increase cooperation with Vietnam in defence and military technology, particularly in personnel training in the air force, navy and intelligence. He also wanted stronger cooperation in cyber security and preventing and fighting terrorism and hi-tech crimes.
Ajit Kumar Doval said India will be always a companion with Vietnam in any circumstances and a stable, developed and prosperous Vietnam is of India's interest.
The adviser affirmed India would do all it can to assist Vietnam in defence and security, specifically defence industry, military technology, intelligence, personnel training, cybercrimes and cybersecurity.
Regarding East Sea issues, Ajit Kumar Doval reiterated India's stance that ensuring navigation freedom in the East Sea is of great importance and that India would not accept any unilateral action to change the status quo.
All disagreements and disputes must be solved through peaceful measures in conformity with international law, he said, adding that this point of view has been affirmed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at all international forums.

CPS continues to sabotage Local School Councils... CPS bureaucrats will develop the new training manual while ignoring input from the real world
The administration of Chicago Public Schools continues to sabotage democracy in the nation's third largest school system by denying certification to training for Local School Councils. According to a press release from the Chicago Teachers Union:
Parents, teachers and community organizations victims of undemocratic CPS attack on Local School Council training
CHICAGO-Following a successful first weekend and strong turnout for newly elected Local School Council (LSC) member training, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has declared that the district will not recognize LSC members certified through these sessions.
CPS will instead delay training until after the district itself has revised and released the LSC manual in the fall -- with no input from the community-despite pending legislation that calls for an independent training commission. As a result, new LSC members will have little training on pending budgets cuts, the Continuous Improvement Work Plan, or principal selection and evaluation before the 2014-2015 school year.
"Parents, teachers and members of our school communities and neighborhoods were elected to these positions, and none of them will have a voice in developing this manual," said CTU President Karen Lewis. "That's undemocratic."
House Bill 5328 places training for LSC members under the direction of an independent certification commission, which is led by veteran LSC members with the goal of inclusion for parents and community organizations. CPS's decision to rewrite LSC guidelines not only undermines the role of the commission, but is also removes the autonomy that the councils are required to have.
"You have community organizations and people who have been involved since the inception of the LSCs who are certified trainers to do these trainings, yet they are excluded from this process," said CTU organizer Rebecca Martinez. "CPS continues to make top-down decisions that impact our schools and communities."
CPS department heads, and not LSC members, will be revising the manual, despite CPS staff having no role in the day-to-day function of LSCs. The district's interference is a simply a means of discrediting parents and community organizations in the LSC training process.
"They won't accept the trainings that we do as 'certified' trainings because they think we're going to give different information," Martinez said. "We don't give different information...we just give information that's empowering for parents and LSC members."
After a well-received first weekend of training, which has been planned since February, the sessions remain in demand from LSC members. "We're going to continue to do the training," Lewis said. "With everything LSCs will have on their plates next year, including budget cuts, you can't have new members at 600 schools start off the school year without any training."
The Chicago Teachers Union represents 30,000 teachers and educational support personnel working in the Chicago Public Schools and, by extension, the students and families they serve. CTU, an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers and the Illinois Federation of Teachers, is the third largest teachers local in the country and the largest local union in Illinois.

Sometimes there are no words to express why a barn catches my interest. This is one of those rare red barns in northeastern Tennessee that you can't ignore. You can get a sense of how massive it is by looking at the building at the back of the barn.

When I was a kid my dad would take me and my brother, Robert to an old barber shop in Gate City Virginia "to have our ears lowered". I was young enough for the barber to use a booster seat in his chair for me. There was also an elevated two chair platform where shoe shines were offered. The long counter running behind the three barbers was lined with various bottles of aftershave with various scents and colors. One scent stood out above the others, I had not experienced that scent until Scott owner of Captains Choice rolled out his amazing Bay Rum aftershave. Scott has added many fine product to his line and we are proud to offer many of them. I hope you will check them out at; abovethetie.com/collections/aftershaves-lotions

Honda car India is all set to launch its all new Honda Accord Hybrid sedan, in India tomorrow. The Accord hybrid was first showcased in the auto expo 2016. The biggest selling point of the new Accord sedan, would be the powertrain that will witness a brilliant combination of 2.0-litre in-line four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors that can churn out a handsome 215PS altogether.
The all new Honda Accord Hybrid would hit the Indian shores as a CBU(completely built unit), which will make the sedan a bit costly. Additionally the sedan is likely to get the already proven 2.4 iVTEC petrol motor, which was previously available in the subcontinent with the seventh generation Accord. The 2.4-liter engine can churn out 176PS of maximum power and 225Nm of maximum torque. Honda is claiming that the hybrid accord will deliver a mouth watering milage of 23.8kmpl, however, it is unlikely to get a diesel engine.
The upcoming Accord is a brilliant looking sedan which carries projector headlamps, LED DRLs, LED taillights, bold character lines, molded new bumpers and a sloping roofline. Once you step inside, you will be welcomed by a new instrument cluster, four spoke leather wrapped steering wheel, a 7.7 inch Multi-Information Display and another 7-inch touch screen display, which features all essential function of the ICE system and a dual-zone climate control.
The new Accord is expected to be priced from Rs 30 lakh and it go up to Rs 40 lakh for the top end variant. The Accord will face a steep competition from already established cars like Toyota Camry Hybrid and the Skoda Octavia.

Jeremy Cowan joins a short list of keynote speakers at this year's Craft Brewers Conference in Washington, D.C. (March 26-29, 2013).
Jeremy Cowan
Owner/ Founder, Shmaltz Brewing Company
As an experiment for Chanukah 1996, Jeremy founded Shmaltz Brewing Company from his apartment in San Francisco with the first contract-brewed batch of 100 cases of HE'BREW® beer bottled, labeled and delivered by hand from the trunk of his grandmother's Volvo. 16 years later, with 10 full-time employees, Shmaltz sells nearly 15,000 barrels of over 20 beer styles to 35 states through over 4,000 retailers.

Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla will leave Emirates Stadium after coming to the end of his contract, the Premier League club confirmed this evening. The 33-year-old Spain international last played for the Gunners in October 2016 and has since undergone a succession of Achilles surgeries. Cazorla was at risk of having his foot amputated after contracting an infection but finally returned to first-team training at the end of this season.
Cazorla, Arsenal legend
After joining from Málaga in 2012, he made 180 appearances for Arsenal and scored 29 goals, winning two FA Cups. In the first of those finals he netted a superb free-kick to spark a 3-2 comeback victory over Hull City.
"I am very sad to be leaving after so many great times, I have loved my time with the club and I will always remember the special moments we had together," Cazorla said in a video message on Arsenal's official website. "Our FA Cup win in 2014 is something we will never forget. It was a great moment for me and for the club. I want to say thank you very much because you always gave me special support and I'm very proud to be part of this club's history."
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis added: "Santi is always one of my favourite players to watch. His natural ability with both feet, his speed of thought and movement were central to our best performances in recent years. He plays with a joy and freedom which is very rare. We wish him well for the future and thank him for his important contribution to our club."
#GraciasSanti for the 180 appearances, the 29 goals, the 46 assists, the cup final free-kick, the masterclass at Man City, the Panenka, the crazy footwork, the laughs, the corners with either foot, the goals in the north London derby and for always making us smile @19SCazorla pic.twitter.com/uIyi2JMetH— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 21, 2018

The partially destroyed henge known as Site P, one of a number of henges in the Boyne Valley near Newgrange, is clearly visible in new imagery on Google Earth. Google recently updated its imagery of the Boyne Valley area. This satellite image was taken in July 2013. The henge is clearly visible as a crop mark near the Boyne river. It is located immediately west of a double "ritual pond" feature and is one of a large number of monuments in the Bend of the Boyne.

"The Walking Dead" doesn't return to television until October, but AMC just gave fans a sneak peek at what to expect when the show comes back. The network released new photos for the series' season eight premiere teasing new looks at Rick, Michonne, Maggie as they prepare to go up against Negan in an all out war.
The season eight premiere will be the 100th episode of the series. Ahead of the show's return to AMC October 22, keep reading for a sneak peek at eight new photos.
They're probably starting to formulate a plan between the different communities to go after Negan and his numerous Saviour outposts.
We're guessing Rick may leave Father Gabriel in command of Alexandria to protect it from the undead while he's gone. Someone also has to keep an eye on his daughter Judith, and Gabriel has proved himself in the past when times got heated to keep her safe from harm.
Daryl will also be on the show's season eight premiere on his favourite vehicle of a choice: a motorcycle.
After escaping from Negan, Daryl is trying to keep a low profile from being found. He was told by Rick to stay in the Kingdom so Negan's Saviors don't find him. It was heartbreaking for Daryl, but we think he'll have a few friends to keep him company.
Carol previously withdrew to an abandoned home in the woods until Morgan gave her a reason to fight against Negan.
Though the two aren't romantically linked, there may be some tension there when Daryl sees the affection the Kingdom's leader, King Ezekiel, has for his best pal Carol.
Expect to see a darker mood from Morgan when the show returns. The last time we saw him, he was broken after the death of Benjamin, a teen he was training to fight.
Morgan has since ditched his passive approach to survival in which he regarded all life as precious and transformed his stick into a sharp spear. He also declared he was going to kill 'every single one of them.' The 'them' he was referring to is likely Negan's Saviors who were responsible for the death of Ben.
Actor Lennie James hinted in March his character may start to go down a more ominous path after he broke the news to Carol that her friends Glenn and Abraham were killed.
'He comes to Carol's door to say goodbye to his closest, and I mean literally, closest friend in this particular moment and time,' said James on 'Talking Dead.' 'Despite the troubles that they're going though, he's come to say goodbye.
It's also worth noting the red armband Morgan is wearing. The season eight trailer teased a few different armband colours Rick and the rest of his alliances are wearing. The colours most likely denote different teams -- the Kingdom, Alexandria, the Hilltop, etc. -- so allies know who is on their side.
Since Daryl is trying to avoid Negan's Saviors, we're a little shocked to see him here with Rick. Maybe they will be together for a short time before Daryl has to head back off to the Kingdom or maybe Daryl decides that if they're going to be taking down the Saviors anyway, it doesn't matter if the two combine forces.
Fans love seeing the Rick-Daryl bromance on screen and the two are teased together in the season eight trailer. Give the fans what they want, AMC.
It's great seeing Michonne, Carol, Maggie, and Tara together because, for the most part, each of these ladies will be on different teams during the impending war against Negan. Michonne and Tara will help lead the Alexandria community while Carol will help King Ezekiel and the Kingdom. Maggie will lead forces from the Hilltop.
The four look like they're ready for their album cover. They just need a fun band name.
Here's the big bad man Rick and his crew will be trying to take down: Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). He may think he's surrounded by two of his closest allies (Dwight and Eugene), but that may not be the case.
Dwight has already gone behind Negan's back to form a secret alliance with Rick to act as a double agent in the pending war. Eugene is a coin toss. He's currently comfortable in a position of power and safety, but could he really fight against his friends that have kept him safe? We wouldn't be surprised if he also became a double agent. Then again, the self-serving Eugene could easily flip flop sides depending on who is winning in the war.

Submitting Ride Requests for Approval
Let's consider an example in which case workers enter and submit ride requests, case worker supervisors approve the requests, and volunteer coordinators or dispatchers place the volunteers with the rides.
As a case worker (named Walter Brown in this example) you might see the History and Approval section of the ride profile looking like this when you first create it:
Note that the status shows as "Created."
Next you would submit the ride for approval by clicking the Request Approval button and the following page appears:
On this page you can do three things
|Enter a note. If you enter a note about the ride in the Notes field then it will be recorded in the ride history when you press the Yes button.
|Send a notification email to someone who can approve the ride request. If you check the "Send a ride request notification email using the following template" checkbox then you can select an email template from the dropdown list underneath the checkbox and send a notification email to the person who approves ride requests. You can create one or more email templates by clicking on the Edit Email Template button. The notification email will be sent when you click the Yes button. See the section in this manual titled "Important Things to Know About Ride Status Notification Emails" for more information on how to set up approval-related templates.
|Confirm or cancel your ride request. Confirm by clicking the Yes button. Cancel by clicking the No button.
After you click the Yes button and submit your ride request the status of the ride will be changed to "Submitted" and the History and Approval section of the ride profile will look similar to the following picture.
In case someone else in the ride work flow has questions about the ride, the profile shows who submitted the ride request, when it was submitted, the requester's phone number, and the requester's email address. Also shown is the current status of the ride, who assigned the current status, and the date the current status was assigned.

CDC's U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry is helping inform recommendations and guidance on how health care providers and others can respond to Zika virus disease.
During a health care providers call hosted by CDC's Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity (COCA), Emily Petersen, MD, from the Division of Reproductive Health at CDC, updated participants on the latest data from the U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry.
"[This information is] critical to CDC's efforts to understand Zika during pregnancy," said Petersen.
The registry represents the largest reported series of infant outcomes among pregnant women with laboratory evidence of possible Zika virus disease. Petersen said the information reinforces the need to prevent the virus in pregnant women.
Zika virus infection during pregnancy has been associated with birth defects, including microcephaly and other brain abnormalities. After analyzing registry data, researchers found that about 1 in 10 pregnant women with confirmed Zika virus disease had a fetus or baby with birth defects. Data came from 44 U.S. states that reported pregnant women with evidence of the virus in 2016. From those states, 972 pregnant women with evidence of Zika virus disease completed pregnancies in 2016, and some had babies with Zika-related birth defects.
Petersen urged health care providers to pass along CDC recommended prevention tips to pregnant women to avoid being infected with Zika virus disease, which is carried and spread through the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the same species that carry yellow fever, dengue, and chikungunya viruses.
Petersen said health care providers should advise pregnant women to protect themselves from mosquito bites, especially if they live in or are traveling to areas with Zika virus disease. Effective methods include using an EPA-registered insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, staying and sleeping in places with air conditioning or that use window and door screens, and regularly emptying or throwing out outdoor items that hold water. Scientists have also discovered that Zika virus disease can be transmitted sexually. CDC said pregnant women should use condoms during sex or not have sex if their partner lives in or has traveled to Zika virus disease-risk areas.
CDC also recommends that health care providers advise pregnant women not to travel to areas with risk of the disease. Currently there are 63 countries and territories worldwide with a CDC Zika Travel Notice. (CDC has an interactive map with more information.) In the United States, to date, only Florida and Texas have had local transmission. Officials from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services recently said that no Zika virus disease has been detected in any mosquitoes tested this year in the state. If a pregnant women must travel to an infected area, CDC said they should talk with their health care provider before leaving, strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites during the trip, prevent sexual transmission, and speak with a health care provider after returning, even if there are no symptoms.
The COCA briefing also went into detail about testing pregnant women, as well as testing and evaluating infants with possible congenital Zika virus disease infection.
However, states may be up against funding challenges for prevention and testing going forward. Last year, Congress provided over a billion dollars to CDC for Zika virus disease efforts. Most of the money was passed to state public health departments, but CDC said recently that these funds were running out and additional money from the federal government was unlikely.

Type 24 Infantry pillboxBack Coast Path between Sheringham and Weybourne, Norfolk
Well-preserved infantry pillbox, once part of more substantial anti-invasion defences.
- Year of construction
- 1940
- Protected status
- No
- Accessibility
- Good
Weybourne was long thought to be Norfolk's most vulnerable point in the event of an enemy invasion from the sea and the beach was fortified as far back as the sixteenth century. There is also an old rhyme that runs 'He who would Old England win must as Weybourne Hoop begin'. This part of the coast was heavily fortified during the First World War and again in the Second. The area around Weybourne and Sheringham is by far the best place in the county to appreciate Second World War coastal defences.
This pillbox is a well-preserved Type 24 (irregular hexagon) with most of its brick shuttering still intact. The grass growing on the roof is a legacy of wartime camouflage, when such technqiues were used to hide the location from German aerial observation. The open field in which it now stands is a little deceptive, however, as originally the pillbox was sited near a since removed hedgerow.

Earlier this week I went into the local public radio station to chat with Renee Montagne of NPR's Morning Edition about the year in gaming.
That's a lot of topic to cover in under five minutes, but we still managed to talk about Call of Duty: Black Op's billion dollars in sales, the coming of Nintendo's 3DS and the rising ubiquity of casual games on the go.
What didn't make the cut? The bumps in the road for the industry, including seemingly lower-than 2009 sales, the wonder of Red Dead Redemption and Minecraft and the Supreme Court Case. It was still a blast to be able to reach such a large audience and have a chance to chat with the Renee Montagne.
Give it a listen for yourself.
