People tend to unconsciously imitate others' prudent, impatient or lazy attitudes, according to a study published in PLOS Computational Biology.
"Prudence", "impatience" or "laziness" are typically thought of as entrenched personality traits that guide how people weigh the cost of risk, delay and effort (respectively). However, new research shows that people's attitudes towards effort, delay, or risk drift towards those of others.
Jean Daunizeau and Marie Devaine, from INSERM, Paris, combined mathematical modelling and cognitive psychology to explore the laws that govern such attitude alignment. The authors asked 56 participants to make a series of decisions involving risks, delays or efforts, both before and after having observed the decisions of fictitious participants (in fact: artificial intelligence algorithms) whose prudent, patient and lazy attitudes were sensibly calibrated.
The study results show that participants are bound to a "false-consensus" bias, i.e. they believe without evidence that the attitudes of others resemble their own. It also shows that people exhibit a "social influence" bias, i.e. their attitude tends to become more similar to those of people around them. Intriguingly, the social influence bias is partially determined by the false-consensus bias. In brief, it first increases with false-consensus (for small false-consensus biases), but then decreases with false-consensus (for large false-consensus biases). Note that participants seem to be mostly unaware of these biases.
Critically, mathematical simulations demonstrate that both biases, and the surprising interaction between them, are hallmarks of a unique mechanism that is ideally suited to learning both about and from others' covert attitudes. This is at odds with the conventional view that attitude alignment is an automatism that is triggered by the need to experience (partly deluded) feelings of social conformity.
"Our work is in line with an ongoing effort tending toward a computational (i.e. quantitative and refutable) understanding of human and animal cognition. In particular, we showed that formal information and decision theories provide invaluable insights regarding the nature and relationship of puzzling biases of social cognition," say the researchers.
The authors are currently applying this work to assess whether this form of attitude alignment may differ in people suffering from neuropsychiatric conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia.

Transatlantic Crossings: German/American Cultural Influences
When Germans and Americans move back and forth between the continents, they participate in an important cross pollination influencing both the intellectual and artistic worlds of both cultures. Whether they came with the waves of people that journeyed westward in the wake of the German Revolution of 1848, or because of wars and economic needs, or from diaspora across Europe they brought new ideas and artistry to America. During the maturation, commercial expansion and the technological explosion of the new world in the twentieth century, programs fostering education like the Fulbright exchange, sent millions of Americans back to Germany to study, teach, report, work and to live permanently.

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
On Sunday, February 1st, 114.4 million people tuned in to watch the New England Patriots silence the haunting ghosts of two brutal Super Bowl losses, overwhelming media scrutiny, and a ruthless, defending champion opponent.
Hands down, the two best teams in the NFL made it to the Super Bowl, and the game was one for the ages. It was a dramatic slugfest, with relentless competition that never let up. Not for a second.
And then:
PICK!!!! @Patriots ball!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? #SB49
— NFL (@nfl) February 2, 2015
The Patriots overcame a mountain to win this championship, which makes this one that much sweeter. It's a well-deserved accomplishment for arguably the best QB and coach tandem of all time in Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and for the entire team (even down to the ball boy!). In the end, their win came down to the biggest defensive play in Super Bowl history: a culmination of great coaching, methodical preparation, and discipline: Those three traits are the biggest difference between the Patriots and most other teams in the NFL. It's the reason they remain competitive, year after year. It's the "Patriot Way". Beating the Seahawks, and arguably one of the greatest defenses ever, gives this championship a special feeling. They were the reigning champs, with a great team overall. Yet, while I have the utmost respect for Pete Carroll, Russell Wilson, and Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch, I can't say the same for Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin, and Earl Thomas. With their brash, loud trash talk, huge egos, and displays of immaturity, they're not very likable guys. If we had lost, the replay of Sherman taunting Darrelle Revis and the Pats would have infinitely looped in my head for months to come. Thank God that's not a reality we have to live. I think Mike Napoli responded best:
pic.twitter.com/1Tt7Yq11UF — Mike Napoli (@MikeNapoli25) February 2, 2015
Or was it Julian Edelman? I'll let you decide:
It's a party in Boston. @Edelman11 with a message for @RSherman_25. #PatriotsParade pic.twitter.com/imvesjk21Y
— AtTheBuzzer (@TheBuzzerOnFOX) February 4, 2015
Nonetheless, the Seahawks have a great team, and a great fanbase, that will keep them competitive for years to come.
Living in New England means that you live and die by your sports teams, especially the Patriots. Sports aren't just games to us. They're big parts of our lives and our memories. They're some of the few times Bostonians can come together and celebrate, rather than acting like "Massholes" to one another (don't get me started on driving in Massachusetts).
Boston is well on its way to earning a "City of Champions" nickname. We're talking championships in all 4 major United States sports (football, baseball, hockey and basketball) over the past 15 years.
Quite an impressive feat, and one that us New England fans do not take for granted. While our teams have long and storied histories, we've had more than our share of pain and anguish too. I doubt we'll ever see another run like this. Simply amazing.
Looking into your next marketing, web design or redesign project? We'd love to learn more about your challenges and talk about how we can help.

Problems with offspring
Scientists from Harvard University conducted an interesting study and found that excessive interest in sweets leads to a decrease in the production of both testosterone and estrogen. The mechanism is simple: the more sugar enters the body, the more lipids it produces. Lipids, in turn, reduce the production of SHBG protein, which is needed just for the exact balance of testosterone and estrogen in the body.
Chocolate, unfortunately, almost does not contain vitamins, minerals and fiber, but it contains a lot of calories. Excess weight in lovers of sweet - a common phenomenon. Moreover, the most dangerous is chocolate: even a small tile is very caloric, and it's easy to eat.
Chemical attack
Specialists of the University of Capinas, Brazil, last year published the results of research, according to which most of the popular varieties of chocolate on the market contain hazardous chemicals, lead and cadmium. It turns out that harmful products fall into the cocoa beans through contaminated land. Of course, the content of harmful substances in one tile will not be very high, but if you constantly consume such products, problems with the endocrine, nervous and immune system are provided to the sweet tooth.
Excessive fascination with chocolate can even provoke the development of type II diabetes. All because a small lobule leads to an instant jump in the level of glucose in the blood - over time the body will get used to such doping and rebuild its work.
Men's Trouble
One of the main active ingredients in chocolate is called theobromine. In large quantities, it has a very negative effect on the prostate gland, provoking an abnormal growth of tissues. Theobromine can even cause testicular atrophy, which, as you know, will not lead to anything good.

Yesterday Autodesk released a very impressive new technology they call Project Photofly. With Project Photofly you can quickly and easily generate 3D models using nothing more than photographs taken with your digital camera. Although Photofly will certainly work with fancy SLR cameras that cost their owner their first-born; your smaller, more compact, and much cheaper digital camera will work just as well.
Photofly will take the photos you load into it, upload them to the web, do the necessary bean counting on a server much more powerful than your personal computer, and automagically download a 3D model to your computer. You can then view the model inside the Photofly software, or even export the points to AutoCAD. Here's a quick video I recorded as I created my first Photofly model:

Offseason fruits and vegetables can be quite expensive, Frozen fruits and vegetables with nothing added maintain their nutritional value and provide a great way to get nutrients offseason. My favorite frozen food is the food I make myself to have healthy food available to take on my long calls to the hospital. Cooking extra at meals can allow you to make your own frozen dinners to go and give you healthy options when time is short. Baked goods freeze well and can be frozen in individual portion sizes so you can take healthy brownies, cookies, muffins and cakes to work as well. This is a great tip to avoid the unhealthy snacks that appear at work. If you don't have time to make your own dinners or snacks you can also find more healthy options in the frozen food section than ever. That said, you must learn to read the labels and make sure these foods don't include the felons of sugars, fats , bleached and enriched flours and also beware of the sodium content.
There are plenty of healthy frozen food options available in your grocer's freezer.
- Frozen fruit is a perfect addition to a morning smoothie or yogurt. Choose those without added sugar, syrups which add additional calories.
- Frozen vegetables are nutritious and convenient. Choose those without added sauces and seasonings. Go plain and add your own flavor.
- Increasingly, specialty and health food markets are producing healthy frozen food entrees that are free of additives and preservatives. You can find frozen whole grain pasta dishes, burritos, stir-fry mixes, exotic vegetable blends and much more. Just check out the ingredient list and nutrition facts to see how it fares.
- There are also plenty of light frozen entrees suitable for lunch. These are portion and calorie controlled which works well for those watching their weight. Be mindful that the sodium level can be quite high though. Be sure to balance the day with plenty of fresh, lower sodium choices throughout the day.
And why not make your own? Prepare extra servings of meals that freeze well like pasta dishes, casseroles, soups and stews. Store them in freezer safe containers. This way you can stock your own homemade frozen entrees to enjoy later.

College gymnastics
As December approaches, so does the collegiate gymnastics season! We in New Hampshire are very lucky to have a college in our state with a formidable gymnastics program. While sports like basketball and soccer can be seen at almost every institution, colleges with gymnastics programs are few and far between. There are less than 90 schools nationwide, with Division II and III being the most scarce. Men's gymnastics programs are even more rare, with less than 20 programs nationwide.
While I was growing up, going to watch UNH meets and attending UNH camps were fundamental in my own development as a gymnast. They also inspired me to reach for college gymnastics myself. My time as a collegiate gymnast was the best of my career, equipped me with important life skills, and expanded upon the foundation of life skills competing in gymnastics had already given me.
Unfortunately, gymnastics at the college level is almost always the first sport on the chopping block when budget cuts and other restrictions need to be made. I know this first hand, as my own college, Rhode Island College, tried to cut our program at the end of the 2010-2011 season. Luckily, due to unprecedented support, we were able to keep our program.
Without college gymnastics, there is nowhere for gymnasts to compete after high school, and keeping these programs alive is a cause that is so important to me.
What can you do to help? Support your local college teams! In New England alone, we have the University of New Hampshire (DI), Springfield College (Massachusetts, DIII), Rhode Island College (DIII), Brown University (Rhode Island, DI), Southern Connecticut State (DII), University of Bridgeport (Connecticut, DII), and Yale (Connecticut, DI).
UNH has published their meet schedule, check it out here! They will be opening their season on Sunday, December 2nd with a "Meet the Team" scrimmage meet. Other home meets will be held on:
January 6, 2013 vs. Rutgers
January 18th, 2013 vs. NC State
January 26th, 2013 vs. Temple, Brown
February 3, 2013 vs. Yale, George Washington
March 2, 2013 vs. Towson, Yale, Brown
Why else should you try to catch a UNH meet? Local gymnast Courtney Thompson is featured on their roster this year!
Check out her bio here
College gymnastics meets from around the country are also televised on various networks throughout the winter and spring! Check your local listings!

Holiday gift ideas!
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, the holiday season is fast approaching. Here are some great gift ideas for your budding gymnast!
I always looked forward to getting a new leotard for Christmas! GK-Elite Sportswear is the leading name in gymnastics practice-wear. Their leotards come in several different designs and are long-lasting and durable (my GK leos lasted FOREVER). Their leotards come in child and adult sizes, and they also have a toddler line. Olympians Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson, and Aly Raisman have their own line of leotards through GK and GK also has a line inspired by the 2012 Olympic Games. The leos on the left are just a few of my favorite designs!
Don't know what size your child is? Have no fear! GK offers a sizing chart. We also have some GK leos of various sizes in our pro-shop in the gym for you to compare.
Home Equipment
Does your child insist on practicing all over the living room floor? Deary's Gym Supply is a fabulous company that I have always gone through to order my grips and braces from and they also sell equipment specifically designed for home use. Get your gymnast a mat to practice on safely, or their very own balance beam!
McKenna Doll
American Girl has come out with a gymnast doll! Why couldn't they have created her when I was a kid and loved American Girl dolls? McKenna is the Girl of the Year, and has several gymnastics accessories you can buy to go with her. She's only here for a year, so get her fast! What a great gift for your Spectrum gymnast, especially given that we offer an American Girl Camp during the summers!
Every budding gymnast needs a little inspiration. Posters of their favorite gymnasts are a great and inexpensive way to inspire your child and their love for gymnastics. Given that 2012 was an Olympic year and the USA team won gold and was catapulted into popularity, there are lots of posters out there featuring your child's favorite member of the "Fierce Five!"
The American Girl Doll, McKenna, has a movie you can purchase! We screened this at the gym one night this summer and it was a huge success.
"Stick It" came out in 2006 and is the quintessential gymnastics movie. Use parental discretion when ordering this one, as it is rated PG-13 for some language and themes.
Happy shopping!
Remember, the gym will be CLOSED for Thanksgiving break Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We have one of the most flexible make-up policies in the business and you can make up your class at any time. Can't make another day? No problem. We offer School-Aged Open Gym on Friday nights from 7:30-9:00. Open gym costs $5, but is free when used as a make up. Open gym is open to school-aged children currently enrolled in classes only, sorry!
Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at SGA!

Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions
On Sunday, the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions came to Boston's TD Garden and Spectrum Gymnastics was well represented in the audience! The dynamic show, organized by USA Gymnastics, features each of the different disciplines of gymnastics: artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, acrobatic, and aerial, highlighted by light shows, music, and comedy.
The gymnasts from Spectrum were thrilled to see all of their favorites live right before them. The tour features the 2012 Olympic gold medal winning team of Aly Raisman (FX gold, BB bronze), Jordyn Wieber (2011 World Champion), Gabby Douglas (AA gold), Kyla Ross, and McKayla Maroney (Vault silver), and members of the 2012 men's Olympic team: Jake Dalton, John Orozco, and Jonathan Horton. Also featured on the tour were members of the men's and women's National Teams: Sarah Finnegan, Rebecca Bross, Anna Li, 2008 Olympic Champion Nastia Liukin, two-time world champion and olympian Chellsie Memmell, Elizabeth Price, ten-time world medalist (and my personal favorite) Alicia Sacramone, Sabrina Vega, Chris Brooks, Josh Dixon, Glen Ishino, Alex Naddour, Paul Ruggieri, David Sender, and Brandon Wynn.
Julie Zetlin and Mary Sanders represented the beautiful and elegant Rhythmic Gymnastics, while trampolinists Savannah Vinsant and Stephen Gluckstein thrilled the crowd with their high-flying moves. Finally, Kristin Allen and Michael Rodrigues showed us how amazing acrobatic gymnastics can really be! John Macready (1996 olympic team member) hosted the show and brought comic relief to an already dynamic show. The show was broken up into several musical numbers that accompanied gymnastics of all kinds.
The Boston show was a sold out show. I've never seen more gymnasts, former gymnasts, coaches, and gymnastics enthusiasts in one place in my life! The lobbies were mobbed with gymnasts from all over New England. My favorite part was watching the girls I coach get excited about seeing their favorite gymnasts. Seeing their faces light up and hearing their cheers of excitement at getting a glimpse of their idols by far surpassed the show itself. I also enjoyed seeing all the different disciplines of gymnastics. It's not very often anything BUT artistic gymnastics gets thrust in the spotlight, so I really enjoyed watching several different aspects of this incredible sport.
At the end of the show, the Olympic Team members each sit in one Olympic Ring and are lifted up high above the crowd. What an image to end the show on!
Peace, love, and gymnastics,

Election Day
In honor of tomorrow's Election Day, why not have an election here?
This summer, the 2012 Olympic Games was one of the most successful for USA Gymnastics in its history. Gabby Douglas joined the ranks of Mary Lou Retton, Carly Patterson, and Nastia Liukin as Olympic All-Around Champion, the most coveted title in the sport. The contributions of each of these four women to the sport of gymnastics is immeasurable. Who is your favorite?
Mary Lou Retton
In the 1984 Olympics, Mary Lou was the first American gymnast to win Olympic AA gold, catapulting USA gymnastics into the spotlight and becoming "America's Sweetheart." Mary Lou was trailing Ecaterina Szabo of Romania (favored to win gold) by .15 going into the last event, but she scored two perfect 10.0's on vault, good enough to win by .05.
In a sport dominated by Russians and Eastern Europeans, Mary Lou Retton put USA gymnastics on the map, establishing an illustrious Olympic tradition and serving as a role model to several generations of gymnasts.
Watch Mary Lou's back-to-back perfect vaults here!
Carly Patterson
It would be 20 years after Mary Lou Retton that the USA would take back the Olympic AA title. Carly Patterson waged a battle with the reigning queen of gymnastics, Svetlana Khorkina of Russia, for AA gold. Carly's victory is unique in that she became the first female American gymnast to win Olympic AA gold in a non-boycotted Olympic Games. She was also the first in a string of three back-to-back American Olympic AA Champions.
Carly has a beam dismount named after her called the Patterson, a skill now performed by many, including American Aly Raisman.
Watch Carly's Olympic beam routine here, which includes the dismount named after her!
Nastia Liukin
Immediately following Carly Patterson's success in 2004 came Nastia Liukin in 2008. Nastia, the daughter of Russian Olympic gold medalist Valeri Liukin (also her coach) is known for her balletic grace, her distinctively "Russian" artistry, and her clean lines. She is one of the most decorated and well-loved American gymnasts in history. Nastia came out of retirement and competed in the 2012 Olympic Trials, but due to falls on bars (her signature event), was not named to the team. Nonetheless, after her final performance at Trials, she was given a standing ovation by the 18,000 fans in the arena, and attended the London Games as the athlete representative for the Federation of International Gymnastics (FIG)
Nastia tried to get a skill named after her on beam, watch her Olympic routine here! (skill is at 1:03)
Gabby Douglas
Gabby was the third American in a row to win Olympic AA gold, and the first African-American gymnast to ever hold that title. She is the second African-American gymnast (the first being Dominique Dawes in 1996) to be part of a gold medal-winning women's gymnastics team at the Olympic games. Gabby burst onto the Elite scene virtually unknown. She peaked at just the right time, beating Jordyn Wieber (reigning World Champion) to win the Olympic Trials. Gabby went on to upset Viktoria Komova of Russia in Olympic AA finals to win the gold. Gabby is known for her huge smile and high flying releases on bars.
Watch Gabby's bar routine from Olympic Trials here and see why she is called "the Flying Squirrel!"

Reported by The WorldNews (WN) Network: https://article.wn.com/view/2018/01/27/2018_Davos_Blockchain_Reputation_Economy_is_Comparable_To_Go/
On January 25, the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2018 was held in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland where was covered with white snow. Eva Foo, who is the founder of SCRY.INFO (an international geek development team), shared international transaction data application cases based on the blockchain technology as the unique Asia female guest invited by the United Nations World Bank. She also mentioned the topics on future elimination of inequality in the world and driving the altruistic blockchain value agreement to play a revolutionary new role in existing business forms transformation. After her speech, the impressive young founder made discussions on further point of views with the guests and politicians from various countries at the venue.
EVA cited the famous words in the film Field of Dreams: "Build it and they will fill it" at the beginning of her speech. Everyone is now in a large digital network around the world. It is expected that the global data volume will be 40 ZB by 2020, which is equivalent to 4 trillion GB objects with each to be equal to a folder or a database approximately. The age of blockchain reputation has come, and blockchain has a huge potential to change the whole industries thoroughly. Everyone is an international digital asset that pays for his/her birth, consumption and travel. Based on the blockchain distributed system with tamper-resistant data contract and automatic data exchange, we can give full play to the rapid innovation and development capability in the new era, which can help the financial institutions in the world to perform transforming. The traditional banks should not only try to develop to digital banks, but also improve the experience of international financial users further, as well as discover new insights and perfect the quality of timely decision-making by transaction judgment with blockchain smart contracts.
In the fields of stock trading and food safety in the third world, the predecessor of SCRY, which is a blockchain startup technology company started in China, has implemented international development, with the operation of blockchain data contract record transaction and financial supply chain rating for three years. And with the business support of the World Bank and multiple international banks, it has helped more than 600,000 agricultural growers to create market value over 300 million USD with extremely low operating costs. By digital rights tracking and transnational commodity transaction with smart contract for each cattle or sheep, we have helped the agricultural producers, who only have the average bank account opening rate at 2.7%, to obtain extremely low interest bank loans and produce high quality agricultural products meeting to EU safety standards.
Once we possess the real data, we dominate the cornucopia of assistant trade decision-making. In the society of blockchain, we make market judgment and settlement as per the presupposed contract transaction rules under the philosophies of integrity, transparency and mutual assistance.
In order to survive in the changing environment, the leaders of international banks and financial service institutes have become more flexible on data processing. We suggest that more industries should begin to participate in the application of blockchain technology for the improvement of business interaction, discovery and decision-making capability. Increasing interaction is helpful to improve communication and cooperation, which supports more customized and effective services further. New discovery tools and capabilities are able to uncover the hidden insights in the data so as to promote the development of innovative products and services. Finally, the decision-making capability with more accuracy and timeliness can provide more individual suggestions to customers and improve the decision-making in terms of risk, safety and fraud detection.
In 2018, the blockchain technology will be benefit to more commercial corporations who will try to use it, and the existing business models and international competition patterns will be changed by its deep development at the same time.

Steels are alloys of iron with generally less than 1% carbon plus a wide range of other elements. Some of these elements are added deliberately to impart special properties and others are impurities not completely removed (sometimes deliberately) during the steel making process. Elements may be present in solid solution or combined as intermetallic compounds with iron, carbon or other elements. Some elements, namely carbon, nitrogen, boron and hydrogen, form interstitial solutions with iron whereas others such as manganese and silicon form substitutional solutions. Beyond......

Meeting a changing banking landscape with an omnichannel workforceWith almost half of Canadians using only digital channels for their banking transactions, online services have become the focus of banks who want to meet changing consumer expectations. But what about the other 50% who either prefer face-to-face interactions or simply don't have access to online services? With the enormous cost savings that increased digital channels can offer their bottom line, many banks gloss over good old-fashioned high-touch customer service, leaving in their wake a rising number of people who are either unsatisfied or under-served.
Innovation Credit Union, headquartered in Saskatchewan, believes it's their responsibility to meet the needs of 100% of its customers. Dean Gagne, Chief Disruption Officer says, "Some of our members prefer digital channels for their banking transactions, so we offer a wide range of excellent online services. However, there are still many other members who want in-person services in their communities, so we've found ways to continue offering this in spite of the changing landscape of financial services in Canada. It's our responsibility to offer both because every member matters to us."
In an age of bank layoffs, restructuring and dialing back customer service, Innovation has chosen a different path. This path, which Gagne refers to as "simply doing the right thing for all of our members", also has tremendous benefits for Innovation staff members. Where big bank closures throughout Saskatchewan have left many people looking for jobs, Innovation has actually ramped up employee retention with a retraining initiative that empowers staff to learn new, innovative ways to meet members' needs across the province.
Innovation's CEO Daniel Johnson refers to this initiative as an "omnichannel workforce," explaining that, "omnichannel encompasses all of the various ways that members can interact or do business with us, including in-person, telephone, through our Mobile Advice Centre, online channels and even social media."
Innovation's omnichannel workforce is backed by a vigorous staff training program designed to ensure that staff is ideally positioned to meet and exceed members' changing needs. The result is a very engaged, highly trained team poised to help members at every possible touchpoint.
Are Innovation staff members excited about this? You bet they are. Jodie Carleton, Senior Member Service Representative at Innovation's Frontier branch says, "I really feel like I am using my skills and training to help our members. I enjoy speaking with them in the branch and in the many other ways they choose to connect with us, whether it's via phone, text or even Twitter. Members tell me that having so many choices makes them feel like Innovation cares about their needs. Being a part of something so positive makes me excited to come into work every day."
Gagne says, "At a time when banks are limiting how and when they can serve clients, we are ensuring that we are able to help our members whenever and wherever they are. If that means an online chat after branch hours or responding to a direct message on Facebook, our front-line staff will be able to help all our members no matter how they approach us with their inquiry. We are training our staff to be versatile and proactive instead of waiting for members to walk through the door."
For longtime employees, investing in retraining staff helps them to feel continuously valued and engaged. As banks often push longer serving staff out with early retirement or restructuring programs, Innovation continues to invest in their existing staff who have the most to offer in terms of experience and understanding of its membership.
Furthering their commitment to Responsible Banking, the omnichannel workforce is another example of how Innovation is leading the way in making banking an accessible, affordable and enjoyable experience, in all of its channels and communities.
About Innovation Expand/Collapse
Headquartered in Saskatchewan, Innovation Credit Union provides a full range of financial services to over 52,000 members including individuals, businesses, and organizations across the province. In 2018, its membership voted in favor of becoming a federal credit union that will enable Innovation to do business anywhere in Saskatchewan and all of Canada. Through the lens of Responsible Banking and innovation, Innovation Credit Union reinvests its profits into delivering economically viable solutions for all Canadians to access mutually beneficial and affordable world class financial products and services – wherever and whenever members need them.
Our Purpose Expand/Collapse
At Innovation Credit Union, we strive to redefine banking by helping Canadians simplify their lives and reach their financial goals by reinvesting profits into our members, our communities, and our people. Now that's Responsible Banking!

Co-produced by DJ /rupture and Shadetek with a roster of collaborators, this Guyana-born Brooklyn MC's debut offers a decent set of global grooves.
Jahdan Blakkamoore's solo debut begins with familiar sounds: a coy flute melody, a clapping cadence, and then the sub-aqueous bass notes of Baby Kite and Nokea's "Reef", the slow burner that kicks off DJ /rupture's Uproot mix. The track-- co-produced here by Rupture and Matt Shadetek and rechristened "Get Hustlin"-- is a shot across the bow from the Guyana-born Brooklyn MC. That opening selection might be broadcasting intentions, suggesting this heavyweight hybrid is another the-music-world-is-flat spin on bass culture.
Buzzrock Warrior doesn't reach that plateau, but it does due diligence, rattling with digital bass and opening the floor to showcase the headliner's vocal talents. Co-produced by Rupture and Shadetek with a roster of collaborators, the music here drives but doesn't dislodge the bassbin, mostly settling on sleek, polyglot rhythms, some of which have been floating around for months. "Go Round Payola", a Shadetek joint that originally came out last year, is a restless bit of fizzy, 8-bit energy. "Let's Go", by cumbia artist Chancha Via Circuito (Pedro Canale), rides jazzy cymbals and bass in a tight but shuffling rhythm. "Earthshaking", a dirty shuffle produced by Brazilian Maga Bo, drops plodding low end over the sound of sizzling electricity, and Modeselektor's "Dem a Idiot" fuses strings and depth-charge beats into a midtempo burner. Buzzrock is positveily laid-back compared to something like the Bug's London Zoo.
Blakkamoore's delivery gets plenty of room to flex, pointing to a promising talent who can bridge margins and is at home with dancehall-style riffs, dub-friendly pronouncements, and sweet harmonies, vital in a free-flowing exchange of global rhythms. He doesn't fully rise to the occasion, however, delivering a dexterous but not truly memorable performance that favors delivery over content. Blakkamoore bounces between loose and languid duets ("Rise Again"), duels with gruff MCs and soulful material such as "Come With Me", where he recounts his immigration experience-- staying with family as his parents worked and saved for his trip, his first snow storm, and middle-of-the-night quizzes so his story would be straight for U.S. customs officials. But his voice occasionally gets saccharine. Fired-up lover's ode "She Said", with pace-setting bass riffs, burns out, and the slack groove of "The General" is tweaked too far with Auto-Tune. On "Get Hustlin", he smoothly lays down rote and unremarkable lyrics, and "Mesmerized", a muddle of world-in-peril lyrics, is redeemed by Blakkamoore's alternately sweet and gruff wordplay while trading off lines with grime MC Durrty Goodz.
Combining too many flavors can often dull the final results, and while this album is far from bland, it also lacks a compelling identity or strong message. A decent set of global grooves isn't bad, but Brooklyn internationalist Blakkamoore sounds poised to achieve more.

A Study in Type – Princeton University
In Princeton's typography studio, students are using their hands and raw materials such as ink, metal and wood to learn an old-fashioned art that is trending again: letterpress printing.
Interest in letterpress printing has grown on campus with the introduction of graphic design courses in the Program in Visual Arts, part of the Lewis Center for the Arts.
The accompanying images show students at the Lewis Center's typography studio at 185 Nassau St., learning the intricate process in class and during an event of the Princeton University Letterpress student group. Students learn how to set metal type, letter by letter, onto metal plates and then used a hand-cranked roller to print impressions of those words onto paper.
This past spring, graphic designer David Reinfurt taught "Graphic Design: Typography," which involved hot metal typesetting in the letterpress print shop alongside photostat and digital type design. The studio had fallen out of use for several years, but Joe Scanlan, director of the Program in Visual Arts, and Reinfurt, a lecturer in visual arts and the Lewis Center for the Arts, revived the studio upon their arrival at Princeton in 2010.
Students formed the Princeton University Letterpress group last spring to study letterpress typography, printing and book binding and to produce items such as wall art and poetry anthologies. They meet regularly in the studio during the academic year, with instruction and advice from David Sellers, a printer in Hopewell, New Jersey.

Reynolds & Reynolds, one of the two major dealer management system providers, has announced a new service to verify the validity of consumer e-mail addresses. Apparently, many postal addresses have corresponding e-mail addresses that Reynolds – already having home addresses of many customers from the initial car purchase – can use to match and verify e-mail information. The availability of this information is surprising.
But, more interestingly, we have found with ClearMechanic that there is a far easier way to secure a consumer's e-mail address: 1) ask for it and 2) provide a good reason for the request. Currently, consumers believe that an e-mail address on file at dealerships simply means more unsolicited e-mail marketing. The widespread reluctance to give e-mail contact info has led dealer service centers to give up on asking for e-mail addresses or to ask with the expectation of failure.
With an online service like ClearMechanic, the Service Advisor can use the following script when consumers drop off vehicles for repairs:
Service Advisor: "Can I have an e-mail address that we can contact you at today regarding your repair?"
(Service Advisor can then hand a brochure on the benefits of ClearMechanic, including status updates, electronic invoices and the ability to approve / decline repairs online.)
This simple change has increased our pilot customers' e-mail acquisition rates from 10-20% to 50-60%. The impact is staggering and immediate.
To be clear, ClearMechanic is not competitive with Reynolds' e-mail service. In fact, the primary benefit of ClearMechanic is the improvement in trust and profitability that occurs during the actual repair sales process. Nonetheless, to the extent dealers are concerned with e-mail address acquisition and validity, the ClearMechanic product can be of great assistance.

EADS shares rose more than 7 percent Monday after the U.S. Air Force on Friday chose the Airbus A330 over Boeing's 767 for an airborne refueling contract worth up to $35 billion.
The deal was a major blow to Boeing , as analysts expected the U.S. company to prevail over the European plane maker in its home market.
"EADS is very much back in business," EADS UK CEO Robin Southwell said on CNBC Europe. "If we can beat Boeing with this sort of contract, I think it's a tribute to the work that's been done recently restructuring, in how we have gone about our business."
"History is showing that every time we compete with Boeing, in this market, we win," Southwell said.
The U.S. Air Force announced the award late on Friday after a lengthy contest between Boeing and a European-American team led by U.S. defense contractor Northrop Grumman , which offered converted passenger jets supplied by EADS unit Airbus.
The deal has sparked a controversy in the United States over potential job losses to Europe but was hailed as a sign of improved European-US relations by both France and Germany.
"Fifty-eight, nearly 60 percent of the value of this will be produced out of the United States. So nearly two thirds of it is U.S. and proudly U.S.," Southwell said.
EADS Stock Bucks Trend
EADS stock in Paris bucked a weaker market and rose as much as 11.2 percent, with a full day's average volume seen in less than an hour.
In Frankfurt, where EADS is also listed, the shares had been indicated up to 19 percent higher before the opening as traders reacted to a bounce in the fortunes of a company recently plagued by management problems, industrial delays and a weak dollar.
French brokerage Oddo Securities raised its recommendation on EADS stock to 'add' from 'reduce', citing a boost for the company's ambitions to reduce its strong dependence on cyclical civil aerospace revenues and move production to the dollar zone.
With aircraft sold in dollars but most of the costs in euros, EADS has been severely hurt by the rise of the euro, which stood close to its record high of $1.5240 on Monday.
The contract has taken some pressure off the company ahead of its annual results next week when it is expected to report a 312 million euro loss for 2007, according to Reuters Estimates.
Including follow-on orders and in-service maintenance, the aerial tanker contract could be the second costliest military aircraft purchase in coming decades, topped only by Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The initial contract for the newly named KC-45 tanker, a modified Airbus A330 airliner, covers four test aircraft for $1.5 billion. With plans to buy 175 more planes, it would be worth $35 billion overall, the U.S. Air Force said.
Airbus will provide A330 passenger jets, which usually sell to airlines for $172 million each, and a refueling boom developed by EADS. The planes will be assembled in Alabama where
Northrop will also fit them with military electronics.
Washington hopes to start operating the new tankers in 2013.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the Pentagon award demonstrated the "good and trusting cooperation with the United States in the areas of security policy."
The Deal
EADS Chief Executive Louis Gallois said the contract had been won without low-balling the price. "No we didn't smash the price," he told Reuters.
However aerospace analyst Steve East at Credit Suisse said the deal may not generate significant profits for EADS and advised investors in a note to "sell into strength," saying the long-term challenges outweighed the positive short-term news.
Boeing can challenge the deal but said it would only decide whether to do so after a debriefing from Air Force officials.
With the U.S. economy in a slump and Boeing backers howling about job losses, the deal could also be held up in Congress where some lawmakers are angry that the purchase coincides with a major trade subsidy dispute between Boeing and Airbus.
The contract is also shaping up as an issue in this year's U.S. presidential election.
The likely Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, led an investigation that killed an earlier Air Force proposal to lease 100 Boeing 767 tankers after a former top Air Force official went to jail for negotiating a senior job with Boeing as she was still overseeing that deal and others.

ISP Andrews & Arnold (AAISP) has today celebrated its tenth year of offering Internet Protocol v6 (IPv6) services to UK internet customers, which comes at a time when many of their rivals are still "dragging their heels" over adoption of the standard; that's despite IPv4 addresses in Europe being perilously close to running out.
Any device that connects to the internet needs an Internet Protocol (IP) address to function properly, yet existing IPv4 addresses (e.g. 22.214.171.124) have been running out since the IANA allocated its last remaining address blocks to the worlds five Regional Internet Registry's (RIR) in February 2011.
Europe's regional registry, RIPE NCC, is widely expected to run out before the end of 2012, yet an AAISP spokesperson warned today that, "many large UK ISPs still do not offer their customers IPv6" (i.e. v4's replacement). We covered this problem in more detail here (UK ISPs Respond to Readiness Fears on World IPv6 Launch Day).
An AAISP Spokesperson said:
"10 years ago IPv6 was leading edge, with very few companies offering any IPv6 services, and almost nobody offering it to consumers. At the time, only a few A&A customers took up IPv6 and it was very experimental.
Over the years it has become more and more mainstream. The FireBrick team incorporated full IPv6 PPP support as part of the equipment we deployed around 5 years ago – marking the end of our dedicated IPv6 gateway box and making IPv6 a standard feature. … All new customers are connected with IPv6 now, and A&A servers are available via IPv6.
In spite of the fact that the European regional registry (RIPE) is about to run out any day now, many large UK ISPs still do not offer their customers IPv6. Of those few ISPs offering IPv6, A&A are one of the only ones offering it as standard to all customers and shipping a configured IPv6 router as standard."
AAISP somewhat boldly claims that ISPs which fail to deploy IPv6 cannot truly claim to offer full "internet access" because a miniscule portion of websites and services are already only available to IPv6 supporting connections.
In reality the prevalence of IPv4 means that ISPs and internet services alike will need to support the old addressing standard (dual-stack networks) for many years to come. The old standard cannot simply be switched off before the vast majority of internet users have been migrated onto IPv6 friendly connections and hardware.
AAISP envisages that IPv6-only networks will slowly become "more and more common" and as a result the ISP anticipates "finally turning off IPv4" before its next / 20th anniversary of IPv6 (2024) adoption. It will be interesting to see how that pans out.
It isn't even just residential and business DSL providers who are slow. RapidSwitch still don't have IPv6 in their hosting network.
Lots of web-hosts, including our own, have been lazy to add IPv6 support too. Partly because they have bags of IPv4's spare and can thus afford to wait a lot longer.
Depending on what they're using to manage the hosting they may or may not be able to support IPv6.
Whilst Apache and IIS as well as the operating systems themselves DO usually support IPv6 a lot of the off the shelf control panels Don't seem to as of yet so unless they want to manually edit the config file for every site they provision and then ensure the control panel doesn't overwrite that config if the customer changes something it's still rather a pain to actually IPv6 enable shared hosting.
Providers who have their own custom written control panels should have less of an excuse as they shouldn't
Edit: Finishing incomplete post.
Providers who have their own custom written control panels should have less of an excuse as they should have the teams inhouse to code the IPv6 support into the control panel

The American Diabetes Association defines low blood sugar, as levels, usually below 70 mg/dl. The 15-15 blood sugar Rule assists in low blood sugar level rescue. Talk to your doctor and create a personal blood sugar plan. Low blood sugar is sometimes referred to as an insulin reaction, or insulin shock and symptoms are important clues in knowing when to take action. Listen to them and take action when required. Symptoms vary from person to person. Always, confirm blood sugar levels when symptoms occur. Additionally, work with your doctor to create a personal plan.
Low Blood Sugar Symptoms
Symptoms include shakiness, anxiety, sweating, chills, irritability, confusion, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, nausea, impaired vision, numbness in the tongue or lips, headaches, strong negative emotion, nightmares, seizures, sleepiness, and even unconsciousness. Symptoms often show up fast; it is essential to act fast as well. Extreme symptoms may require intervention by a second person and/or emergency services to assist in recovery.
15-15 Blood Sugar Rule
The American Diabetes Association suggests quick action whenever the above symptoms occur and use the 15-15 blood sugar Rule. The first part of the 15-15 rule includes eating 15-20 grams of glucose. The second part of the 15-15 rule includes checking blood glucose levels 15 minutes after eating 15 grams of glucose. Repeat if needed. Eat a small snack if your next planned meal or snack is more than an hour or two away. If severe insulin reactions occur call 911 for emergency services. Always have an emergency backup plan ready. To prevent low blood sugar levels work with your health care providers and educate yourself on good diabetes management.

"Live PD" producer visits Northshore
St. Tammany Sheriff's Office to be part of A&E Network police reality show.
St. Tammany Sheriff's Office to be part of A&E Network police reality show.
St. Tammany Sheriff's Office to be part of A&E Network police reality show.
At a time when law enforcement agencies across the country are coming under increased scrutiny and growing danger, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office is inviting national cameras to ride along.
Last week, the department signed on to do the A&E Network documentary-style reality TV show "Live PD." The show gives a whole new definition to transparency.
"Yes, it puts law enforcement into context," said Tom Cunningham, "Live PD" supervising producer.
Only a few months old, the show is already drawing better than a million total viewers. The A&E Network calls Live PD "unfettered and unfiltered live access inside the country's busiest police forces."
"Our goal is to give everything context and to show the public that what their perception of law enforcement is is totally different from what the reality is," Cunningham said.
Sheriff Randy Smith said his department is not being paid for its part in "Live PD," but he said people will get a chance to see actual police work unfolding as it happens.
"That's full transparency. If it happens, it happens, and why not witness it live on TV for the rest the rest of the country to see," Smith said.
Monday was a day for groundwork, getting a feel for the size, scope and challenges of St. Tammany Parish. The A&E Network said "the debate over the policing of America continues to be a part of the daily conversation."
There is always an element of danger, Cunningham said.
"You don't know where you are getting into. You could go up to a car and there could be somebody who is wanted out of Texas who is a serial killer. You just don't know. It's that unknown quantity," Cunningham said.
There is a slight broadcast delay to avoid airing unsuitable scenes of graphic violence, but with risk comes reward.
"We see so much negative going on with the police departments throughout our country, it's time we show that we are positive," Smith said.
"With a show like this, it gives a chance to put the audience right in the passenger seat alongside the deputy or officer we are patrolling with that night," Cunningham said.
And do it from the safety and comfort of home.

text: A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO Welcome and congratulations on showing interest towards becoming a DanceAUS Group franchise studio owner! Imagine how rewarding it will be to reach thousands of Australians through our inspirational dance platform. We thank you for your franchise enquiry and are excited to share with you our business structure, strong brand and franchise opportunities across Australia. In recent years, dance schools that have embraced more inclusive teaching practices have been steadily growing in popularity, as the general public has demanded a broader, more professional integrated performing arts program rather than a basic dance class. Growing up as a dancer, I never noticed any distinction between recreational and competitive dancers in schools; to me, a dancer was simply a dancer. I disliked dancers being labelled as one or the other. When the time came to start my own school, I knew, wholeheartedly, that I wanted to provide an "equal-opportunity dance education experience". At my school, every student would have the chance to 'dance in the front row'. Every student would have the opportunity to lead and to work as part of a team. When our students walk through the door, it is vital that our teachers provide them with an environment that is welcoming and allows the students to explore, test, imagine, create and excel without fear of failure or criticism. By implementing this philosophy, we have seen passions ignited, interests sparked, and overall, happier and more appreciative students and parents. Dance teachers and studio owners have an incredible opportunity – a duty, even – to inspire children, and as such, it is vital that we structure our lessons in a way that includes all students in a genuine manner. Even better, we have the ability to help create the artists of the future. What could be better than that? I want my mission and legacy to continue. I want people to share with others what they have learnt from me. But I've always held the view that it's not all about me. As our team of educators has grown, each member has become a vital part of the DanceAUS Group journey. Of course, this is also now your opportunity to join our amazing team as we enter our next stage of development. So let's get started – let's dance together and grow together! ABOUT DANCEAUS GROUP DanceAUS Group History, why does inspiration live here? The DanceAUS Group story began in 2004 with a single class of students on the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. At 18 years old, Director Emma Staltari received a $1000 start-up grant from the local council, which she used to purchase a stereo and insurance. Such was the popularity of the lesson format and Emma's enthusiasm, this new dance school was operating at full capacity within its first year of operation. In the years following, DanceAUS Group blossomed to the point where it now operates dance schools in 23 locations across metropolitan and rural South Australia. It is from this solid foundation that DanceAUS Group is now franchising nation-wide, with the goal of offering affordable, non-competitive dance programs to children aged 3 years through to adults, with a mix of Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary and Ballet fundamentals. DanceAUS Group classes create a professional atmosphere together with the excitement and energy of dance, in an environment which is safe, creative and fun! DanceAUS Group also produces choreography for productions and competitions, and specialised dance programs for schools. This includes our DanceFIT program, which promotes our vision of providing students with the skills and education they need to live a happy, healthy and positive life! The DanceAUS Group program is a recreational, leisure-based model, and is non-competitive. DanceAUS students participate in an annual showcase spectacular, where individuality is celebrated and all students are rewarded and praised. We believe our strong performance in the dance education sector has been largely due to adhering to these core values. We have brought fun and enjoyment back to an industry that has long been suffocated by elitism and unnecessary competition. It's important that DanceAUS classes are accessible and affordable for students from all socio-economic backgrounds. We have achieved this by offering free trial lessons, keeping fees affordable and offering discounts for families with multiple dancers. Students are not required to have expensive shoes or uniforms to participate, and costume making is managed by the DanceAUS Group team. Our business vision is to provide students of all ages and experience levels with knowledge and skills in the performing arts. Students learn leadership values, improve confidence, communication skills and several aspects of performance. As demonstrated by the values we instill in our staff and their students, we stand as the voice of inspiration and advocacy for young people who might not otherwise have anyone in their corner. We stand for the students who think they're not good enough, or not coordinated enough, or not able to afford expensive dance outfits. We are deeply passionate about the class culture we have created, and the many aspects that make DanceAUS classes unique. Many students and their parents now share our passion, and it has often been their support that has helped DanceAUS Group expand so quickly into many new locations. We value our student as unique beings, and provide opportunities for them to discover and develop their unique personalities. As we often tell them, 'zig when everyone else zags'!

Annual Grand National Meet
While planning for a Summer Institute class at McPherson College, I was pleased to learn that the AACA Grand National Meet was taking place only 3 hours away from where Brandon and I would be. We could not attend all of the events because we were in an engine diagnostics class until Friday afternoon but we were able to get to Independence, MO in time for the KC Joe's BBQ dinner on Friday night. We had been speeding across Kansas to get there in time, passing multiple antique malls AND a marble factory (gives me something to go back for) only to arrive to windy, stormy, hot weather. While the food was very good, we were slightly disappointed that the cars had all been stashed in trailers so there wasn't much to look at. Brandon and I enjoyed our meal and then checked into our hotel for the night, just down the street from the Silverstein Eye Center Arena where the show was taking place the next day.
Saturday morning we got going early to try to beat the extreme heat that was being broadcast all over the news. We easily parked the car, picked up our lanyards and then began to stroll through the vehicles on display. First off were some tiny BMWs followed by a line of vintage motorcycles. We zigzagged our way down the first row and as far as I could tell, there wasn't an order to the way the cars were parked…many different eras all parked next to each other. I can say that the cars on the field were beautifully restored and so clean. I found myself looking for dirt in the tire treads but there was none to be found! We had a fun conversation with a Packard owner, his long, brown, beautifully restored car just oozing with opulence. Further down the line we were drawn in by a 1916 Cadillac. Turns out it had been in the restoration process since the early 1960's and three generations had worked on it to get it finished. What an amazing vehicle! The man showing the car (generation #3) had signed up to take the car on the Glidden Tour but hadn't decided if he was ready to take it out on the road, exposing it to rock chips and crazy drivers. It made me thankful to have cars that aren't perfect but are very fun to drive. We enjoyed some cars from the late 40's and 50's, noticing interesting air-conditioning systems, fabulous bumpers, eye-catching body lines and flashy headlights. The variety was great and offered a lot to take in.
Inside the arena were the 20 "Zenith" cars, selected from over 3,300 cars that were shown during the year. I do not envy the judges who had to select this collection of cars; it must have been very hard to choose. This is the first year of the AACA Zenith Award and out of the 20 vehicles chosen only one car could be crowned with "Restoration of the Year". And that car was….a 1928 Auburn 8-88 Speedster owned by Richard and Helen Harding from Beavercreek, OH. Brandon and I were pleased to see June Crane judging that very car while we looked on. It was great to see a fellow Road Relic all the way in Missouri!
