Training for the Napa to Sonoma half-marathon continues…
This week our training consisted of running a 6K road race in Brockton. It was the same place we had run a couple of weeks ago, so I was familiar with the terrain. Which normally would be a good thing, you know the lay of the land as it were, you know where the big hill is, and you know when to kick into gear near the end. For some reason this works in reverse for me. If I've done it before it just psyches me out. I have little voices in my head telling me to quit before I've even begun. AND IT'S ONLY 3.75 MILES. What happens when we have to run more? I seriously need to find a way to get out of my own way.
I have tried running with music, with audiobooks, with podcasts, and with nothing but the wind in my ears. Nothing seems to make it stop. In fact, I think the only way I can get that little voice to shut it's shit-talking mouth is to talk to it. But, funnily enough, talking while running alone gets you mad side-eye from people you pass. But for some reason I prefer talking to myself. Well, I should be more precise, arguing with myself. Maybe it's because I've lived alone for so long, but conversing with myself is something I do all the time. At home, at work, at Foodies while deciding on ground grass-fed beef or bison, (the little voice wants Bison, my voice wants whats cheap) but it just sounds weird when you are running.
Now that you think I'm a total psychopath, please know my doctor says talking to yourself is totally normal. So don't worry about my brain, it has an entire village of people tending to it. But I digress.
Her name is Ms Moo-lot and she's made entirely of wine corks. How cool is that? I have a great love for that which falls under the heading of "Roadside Americana" and finding kitch like this in a fancy place like Napa/Sonoma brings me joy.
I finished the 6K a little faster than I had run the course last time, so high five for me! And my entire team was there at the finish line to cheer me on. Team Challenge is full of warriors and I'm so honored to be a part of this amazing group!
I realize I might bring some of this on myself, but I seriously walked into the dark side this time.
Salt and I were waiting in my car to go into an appearance and I got a ping on my POF profile. So I read it and it was well written, funny, and seemingly real. The holy trifecta! I showed it to Salt, my best girlfriend, to get his opinion. He had the same thought as me, a normal boy, and we decided to bring it to the program. Like I said, I might have brought this on myself. Here is a brief snippet of what he said…

Funny things start to happen once you've been on the dating sites for a while. You start to get the "out-of-town gentleman caller." These are guys who say they will "conveniently be in town for business" on such and such a date and wonder if you'd like to get together. At first this sounded like the perfect scenario to me. They were here for a couple days, we'd have a dinner, maybe more, and they go away and never come back. Or, they are married.
The first gentleman caller was going to be in town around the time of the Boston Marathon (which I was running). I told him as such and that I might not be much fun and certainly wouldn't be very mobile but he said no worries. Well, the date was to be on a Wednesday and as soon as I woke up on Tuesday after the MONDAY marathon I knew I was in no shape to do anything. I messaged him in kind. His response? "Figures." My response: "dude, really? I just ran a bunch of miles and my legs are killing me." His retort? "Predictable." So the next time a man from out of town came along, I was wary. But I figured I'd give it another try.
The first question I asked Cinderella (my name for him, this will become clear in a minute) was "are you married?" His answer was no. I'm pretty sure I brought it up a few more times until I was convinced. He seemed normal enough after our chat so I agreed to a date – a month in advance. He was a planner this one. Maybe this is crazy? I felt I was being proactive, filling up the ol' calendar, making shit happen in my dating world. We texted and messaged a few times, we even talked on the phone. He seemed like an honest to goodness normal person.
The day of the date arrived – the plan was dinner and a Red Sox game. I had gotten the tickets myself so I wouldn't feel beholden to him: always be mindful of the money put out vs. what you're supposed to put out ratio. He arrived to dinner before me and at first site I knew there would be no putting out that night. However, I was going to give this date 100 percent – I would listen, I would talk a bit about myself and see what worked. So I listened to him tell me about his TWO failed marriages and the myriad reasons for their failures. He brought up church and the Big J a lot, which for some reason made my use of the f-word increase exponentially. I didn't do it on purpose, if you have faith, I support it, but I just couldn't stop it. It was beyond me.
Next stop, Fenway. Before we go any further it's important that I tell you I told him before the date began that I get up at 3 a.m. and I would be leaving so as to get home by 9. Period. These are my rules on school nights. Like it or lump it and he agreed. It was an incredible night to be at Fenway, it was the 10th anniversary of the World Series win. I was like a kid at well, a ballgame, and so we didn't chat much during the festivities. The game started, we got beers, and I started staring at the clock waiting for the witching hour at which I'd turn into a pumpkin.
At 8:30 sharp I said I had to leave. I encouraged him to stay, to enjoy the game, to be sure to have a Fenway Frank. He walked me to the Yawkey Way exit, gave me a hug and asked me if I'd ever come to Maryland. Ugh. Yes, you read that right. I left him at Fenway.
A week after the date, I received a hand-written thank you card. It was awkward and strange and just a little weird. He also said he'd be sending me a gift. A month later I received a box from Amazon including… wait for it… Ray Donovan Season 1 on DVD. Such a romantic guy! Needless to say, I haven't talked to him since.
Looking forward to sharing my stories and getting your advice…K
My first foray into online dating was a boy I call Nemo. We met on Plenty of Fish, get it? Anyway… I change the names to protect the nice people who deign to go out with me.
Nemo had a great opening message to me. Most people were saying "hi" or "hello" or "what's up" or my personal favorite "Hello my Queen". Nemo actually spoke TO me. He said:
• A. You look familiar
• B. Why were you walking down that street in your pictures?
The picture he refers to is one of my profile pics of me walking down 5th St in Southie. Right in front of his childhood home.

Yep, it's true. After breaking up with my boo 9 mos ago, I've decided to jump back into the dating pool. And by jump I mean poke a very cautious toe into the most passive form of dating – the online kind. I tried eHarmony once while on vacation, after the breakup and two bottles of wine. It was a "free weekend" so I thought why not! After an hour of answering inane questions and one more glass of wine, I got this…

Hyatt finds malware in its payment systems
Worldwide hotel chain Hyatt announced today that it found malware in its payment processing systems.
The company, which owns 627 properties in 52 countries, said that it launched an investigation into the matter with 'leading third-party cyber security experts' as soon as it discovered the malicious activity.
Hyatt hasn't said which locations and how many customers may have been affected. However, it advised customers to review their payment card account statements for unauthorized charges.
The company explained that its investigation is ongoing and that it will post updates on this page.
Hyatt is the latest hotel company to have been affected by a cyberattack in 2015; its rivals Hilton and Starwood also reported that they were hacked earlier this year.

Lancy was born and raised in the heart of San Francisco. She has always been drawn to animals and even as a young child remembers wanting to be around them as much as possible. She always felt very connected with animals and able to easily relate to them. At 16, a guidance counselor at her school help her get a job at an East Bay pet store and dog grooming shop where she worked and train for the next ten years. In addition to being a WWPSA (Western Word Pet Supply Association) certified dog groomer, Lancy has taken numerous workshops and courses to advance her skills.
When the opportunity to purchase VIP came along she jumped at it going into business with best friend (and former Boss) Jim Starkey. A year later, Jim decided to move back to Virginia and Lancy became the sole proprietor of VIP. Over the years she has honed her skills and takes pride in being the best at what she does.
To connect with and care for animals is a great joy for Lancy and she feels grateful to be able to do what she loves every day. She takes immense pride in what she does and what she has created at VIP. She would like to thank her crew for all their hard work and dedication and her customers for their continued patronage.

This is a question we are asked all the time. Rental property investors tend to have one mind set and are looking to keep their insurance costs minimal in order to have the maximum positive cash flow on their properties. I have even see situations where each property has their own spreadsheet and expenses are allocated per property.
So why can't they insure them at what they paid for them? Let me start off, that they can. Not with every program out there, but with some like our MVP Investor Program they can. This may not be the BEST solution for every account but with a client who insists, it IS an option. Let me take you through a conversation you need to have with them:
Valuation – There are usually three options, Replacement Cost, Actual Cash Value and Market Value/Agreed Amount (What they paid for them). If there is a total loss, what do they plan to do? If they want the property completely rebuilt, then most likely they will consider Replacement Cost. If they are just looking to get paid the actual cash value and will plan to sell off the lot, they may consider this option. And if they are just looking to get paid off for what they paid for the property, then they will most likely want the agreed amount option. I think if they are dead set from the beginning on insuring the properties for what they paid for them, you still need to have this conversation.
Coinsurance – Here is where they can get tripped up. If they do not take the no-coinsurance option, they can run into valuation problems. You would need to do a cost estimator for all three options. I would think you would also want to do a cost estimator on properties at the no-coinsurance replacement cost and actual cash value options so they are in line with what those actual values are. If they truly want to insured the properties at what they paid for them, then you need to look at the no-coinsurance option. Keep in mind the rate will be surcharged but it will provide the solution your client is looking for. Many times they will go in and do the repairs themselves and keep the costs down so this is a very inviting valuation solution for them.
Having been the business almost 30 years, the valuation discussion can get "old". It always feels like we have to "talk the clients into" the proper valuation and many times it comes off like we are trying to "sell them something". Ultimately, we don't want any surprises at the time of a loss when they can be emotional, in shock and can't think straight. When we are talking about their owner occupied dwelling, they will usually want it rebuilt and replacement cost is the only real option. But they have a different mentality when they are talking about rental properties. They just want to get the money out they have invested and sell the lot off and walk away.
Just keep in mind that satisfying the clients wish for insuring their properties at what they paid for them, does not relieve you of the duty to discuss and consider the other valuation options. Clients may "want something" (in their minds) and it may not be what they "truly want". The only way you can know for sure is to take them through the valuation and coinsurance discussion.
As a side note, property investors like to talk about their properties. They tend to congregate with other property investors and referrals can be plentiful if you take care of them and help them out. Many are a part of local investment groups or online groups and trade of referrals for everything from contractors, financial institutions and insurance agents. Don't be afraid to ask for referrals.
Happy hunting!

Chad G. Fite II pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter Monday in the June shooting death of Jalen DiCenzi.
CANTON One by one, friends and family of Jalen DiCenzi expressed the devastation of losing the 22-year-old who left behind a young daughter and others he loved.
Emotion-strained thoughts were directed at Chad G. Fite II, who pleaded guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter and other charges for the June shooting.
Fite and DiCenzi had known each other since they were children, playing on youth sports teams together and later as football teammates at McKinley High School.
DiCenzi's grandmother, Susan Roberts of Canton, spoke of the tragedy before the defendant was sentenced to 16 years in prison by Stark County Common Pleas Judge Chryssa Hartnett.
"I just want to say that I'm very sorry that this whole situation had to happen," she said. "I'm very sorry that my grandson is not here today. I'm very sorry to see Chad going to jail, and I thank God that my grandson has justice."
Fite, 23, shot DiCenzi once in the head and neck area while DiCenzi was driving a vehicle on June 11 in the 14th Street and Miami Court NE area, according to an account filed by the Stark County Prosecutor's Office in court records. Fite fired two gunshots at the vehicle with a handgun, according to investigators.
The vehicle went up a steep embankment and struck two homes in the 14th and Gibbs Avenue NE area. The shooting had occurred around 9:40 a.m.
On the day Fite's trial was scheduled to begin, a murder charge was reduced to involuntary manslaughter as part of a plea agreement between the defendant and prosecutors. A firearm specification was attached to one of the charges because a gun was used in the crime. Fite also pleaded guilty to felonious assault and discharge of a firearm on or near a prohibited premises.
When asked about a motive for the shooting, Dennis Barr, an assistant Stark County prosecutor, said "there was a point in time when Fite apparently lent (DiCenzi) some money and (DiCenzi) had not paid it all back.
"Whether that's the reason he shot at him ... I don't know," said Barr, who handled the case along with fellow Assistant Prosecutor Joe Vance.
Barr said that was the only information "that came out as a reason even close to why this occurred." But he added that the money apparently had been lent months prior to the shooting.
"I certainly don't think that (Fite) set out to kill (DiCenzi)," Barr said.
Remembering Jalen
During Monday's hearing, DiCenzi's family members spoke emotionally, directing some of their comments to Fite.
"There are no words that can express the impact (that) the losing of Jalen has had and is still having," said Jalene Roberts, the victim's mother.
Moments later, she said, "Lord, forgive Chad because he still does not know all he has done" before adding, "I choose to say today, Chad Fite, I forgive you."
Roberts said she's drawing on her faith in God to navigate the aftermath of her son's death.
"I only asked God for three things," she recounted during the hearing. "To sustain my mind and not let anger build up in my heart, to reveal the purpose of Jalen's death and for justice so that Jalen is not known as another statistic of an unsolved crime. I know that we do not bargain with God, but I said that in return I will always try to do my best to do God's will and to bring him glory."
Antonio DiCenzi, the victim's father, said his mourning will never cease.
"I know whatever sentence is imposed won't bring him back," he said. "But I know in these 16 years (Fite) will not have the opportunity to take anyone else's life from them or anyone else's family."
Barr read a letter from Jacklyn Kuharski, of Canton, the mother of DiCenzi's now 17-month-old daughter.
"My daughter will never be able to get to know her dad nor will he get to watch his daughter grow," she wrote. "I cry every time she says daddy because she doesn't get or understand what has happened..."
The defendant speaks
Fite expressed remorse prior to being sentenced.
"I pray each and every night for mercy," Fite said as a gallery full of people on both sides of the case looked on. "I'm asking for a second chance. I owe (it) to my community to help kids and make sure they don't make the same mistake and (steer) away from their dreams also."
In accepting the plea agreement and sentencing Fite, Hartnett said that "justice often leaves no winners, and this is one of those cases ... and everyone here in this room has lost and it's so unfortunate."
"I commend the strength and resilience of Jalen's family to be able to speak so eloquently, not only about (DiCenzi) and in such a forgiving manner towards the defendant."
Reaching a plea agreement
Barr, of the prosecutor's office, said the victim's family supported the plea agreement because "they wanted a guaranteed outcome; they didn't want to take a chance of a jury not finding Mr. Fite guilty."
Another factor was that on the eve of Fite's trial, the only eye witness in the case who could identify the defendant as the shooter "was making himself very difficult to locate," the assistant prosecutor said.

text: Quentin Tarantino Defends Cop Comments on MSNBC: I Thought "I Had First Amendment Rights" 5:42 PM PST 11/4/2015 by Ryan Gajewski FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME "They stand behind me," the director told Chris Haynes about The Weinstein Co., which is releasing 'The Hateful Eight' next month. Quentin Tarantino appeared on MSNBC on Wednesday to defend his recent comments about police brutality. Tarantino told host Chris Haynes that he wasn't making a blanket statement about police but was referring to specific incidents, like those involving the deaths of Sam DuBose and Eric Garner. "In those cases in particular that we're talking about, I actually do believe that they were murdered," said Tarantino. "And they were deemed murder." Tarantino admitted that he wasn't expecting to experience backlash, with cop unions threatening to boycott his films. "I was surprised," said the director. "I was under the impression that I was an American, and that I had First Amendment rights, and there was no problem with me going to a police brutality protest and speaking my mind." "Just because I was at an anti-police brutality protest doesn't mean I'm anti-police," he said. He said he wants to see police "stop shooting unarmed people." Tarantino explained that the company releasing his forthcoming film The Hateful Eight — which is The Weinstein Co., although he didn't mention the name — has not pressured him into apologizing in order to help the film's box-office potential. "They stand behind me," Tarantino said, pointing out that the same company also released 2013's Fruitvale Station, about a 2009 incident in which a man was killed by a police officer. The controversy stems from Tarantino's involvement in a Oct. 24 rally in New York City against police brutality. "When I see murders, I do not stand by," Tarantino said at the event. "I have to call a murder a murder, and I have to call the murderers the murderers." Tarantino told The Los Angeles Times on Monday that threats of police boycotts against his films will not coerce him into standing down from his stance. "Instead of dealing with the incidents of police brutality that those people were bringing up, instead of examining the problem of police brutality in this country, better they single me out," said the director. He continued by saying, "All cops are not murderers. I never said that. I never even implied that." On Monday, The Weinstein Co. — which is releasing the Kurt Russell-starring The Hateful Eight on Dec. 25 — stood by the filmmaker. "The Weinstein Co. has a long-standing relationship and friendship with Quentin and has a tremendous amount of respect for him as a filmmaker," a Weinstein Co. representative told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. Tarantino's MSNBC interview is below. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Ryan Gajewski firstname.lastname@example.com @thr

This week, in an improbable turn of events, the sound of silence went viral.
An animated GIF showing an electrical tower jumping rope over delightfully bendy power lines began to spread. The frenzy started when Lisa Debruine, a researcher at the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow, posed this question:
Does anyone in visual perception know why you can hear this gif? pic.twitter.com/mcT22Lzfkp— Lisa DeBruine 🏳🌈 (@LisaDeBruine) December 2, 2017
When she asked Twitter users in an unscientific survey whether they could hear the image — which actually lacks sound, like most animated GIFs — nearly 70 percent who responded said they could.
Once you "heard" it, it was hard not to start noticing that other GIFs also seemed to be making noise — as if the bouncing pylon had somehow jacked up the volume on a cacophonous orchestra few had noticed before.
But can you actually hear something that does not emit a sound?
Certainly, said Chris Plack, a professor of audiology at the Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness, who researches acoustic reflexes and auditory processing.
"Hearing," as he defines it, does not require external noise; rather, it is "having the experience of a sound."
Over the past few years, Elliot Freeman and Chris Fassnidge, cognitive neuroscience researchers at the University of London, have been studying what they call "visual-evoked auditory response," or visual EAR.
The ability to "vEAR" is not limited to scenes where one would expect to hear a noise, they say. One lab study found that more than 20 percent of people could hear flashing lights in silent videos. A range of motions, abstract patterns and even colors evoke sound for some. (Take their survey here.)
The act of hearing a visual highlights the trippy fact that our senses do not operate the way we often assume, with crisp boundaries between them. Smelling, hearing and tasting all "speak to each other and influence each other, so little things like the color of the plate you're eating on can influence how food tastes," said Mr. Fassnidge.
It may feel "like the world is right in front of us," he said, but it's not so simple.
But what is going on when we vEAR? And what is it about that particular GIF that makes it so "loud" for so many?
Rob Desalle, an evolutionary geneticist and curator of the Our Senses exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History, calls it a "clever illusion caused by filling in."
"Our brains see this and they say, 'Wow, a pylon of that size bouncing up and down should be making a noise,'" he said. So we hear one.
Mr. Fassnidge agreed that there is something about the pylons GIF that makes it particularly easy to imagine what it might sound like. Visual hearing is often about some "intersection of perception, memory and imagination all coming together," he said.
But how do you explain the fact that some people can hear visual recordings of flashing lights, motions and other scenes that might be silent in real life? Why do some people have much more advanced vEARing than others?
It's too early in the research to say. But Dr. Freeman's and Mr. Fassnidge's working theory is that the degree to which one can hear based on visuals likely has to do with how much a given person's "visual and auditory areas 'talk' to each other" in the brain.
"Using electrical brain stimulation, we have also found tentative signs that visual and auditory brain areas cooperate more in people with vEAR, while they tend to compete with each other, in non-vEAR people," Dr. Freeman said in an email. "So people who claim to hear visual motion have brains that seem to work slightly differently."
Individuals with frequent or advanced vEARing may have a form of "synesthesia," a neurological phenomenon in which one sense feeds into another, he said. In other types of synesthesia, sounds might be linked to colors or words with tastes.
Having this particular kind of synesthesia may be confusing for individuals who don't realize what's going on.
That was the case for Dr. Freeman, who said he hears most things that move or flash. When he inquired if others could hear the buzzing of flashing lights emitted by a distant tower, for example, he "got quizzical looks. So I stopped asking people."
Then he came across a paper by two neurobiologists at Caltech, Melissa Saenz and Christof Koch, often credited with first discovering the form of synesthesia he experiences. Their paper convinced him he was not a lone "weirdo," and that the topic was worthy of additional investigation.
At synesthesia conferences, he's met others who have even more pronounced visual hearing, most notably Lidell Simpson, for whom the world is a very noisy place, though he is technically deaf.
"Everything I see, taste, touch and smell get translated into sound," he explained over email. "I can never shut it off."
His vEARing may be so advanced because before he was fitted for a hearing aid as a toddler, the "auditory bits of his brain were learning to process vision instead — and when they got the hearing aid, sound and vision fused in his brain," Mr. Fassnidge said.
Even for those with just average vEARing, the sound of a flash of light can be powerful enough to drown out real-world sounds, the researchers have found in their lab.
It's also possible that those of us who "grew up surrounded by noisy environments" have been hearing based on visuals for years without realizing it, Mr. Fassnidge added in an email.
"I might assume I am hearing the footsteps of a person walking on the other side of the street, when really the sound exists only in my mind," he said.
The noisy pylons GIF, in that sense, reveals that "we have this unusual ability" — and that some of our daily soundtrack may actually be rooted in imagination.

Sometimes I have super ideas in the middle of the night. These ideas are so good and so clear that I am absolutely convinced that there is no way I'll forget them when I wake up. So, I don't get up and write them down, I just lay there all proud and sleepy and eventually fall back to sleep.
Then morning rolls around and I can't remember even one single detail of my overnight brilliance. All I can remember is that I had a really, really good idea that would have made my life [and maybe the rest of the entire world's lives too ;)] better!
Dang it! I promise you that if this had only happened a couple of times, I would not be writing this. Instead, I am writing this because it's happened almost as many times as TMZ has done something way out of bounds to get a story on a celebrity. And that, as you know my friends, is a lot.
And I think there's a juicy and helpful metaphor here…
My unwillingness to get up and "disturb" my sleep in order to capture something that feels like a really good idea worth pursuing is a lot like how many of us KNOW we're not in the right place in our lives, but we're not willing to disrupt the current status quo for the unknown of what "might" be. So, we stay where we are, even though we've been nudged to move, and we miss out on what something deep within us is encouraging us to pursue. And when we "wake up," we feel disappointed and maybe even downright cheated.
Ouch. And yuck.
Well, I say let's go ahead and disrupt and interrupt the heck out of whatever we need to in service of creating a life that feels super good to us. Because if we don't, we run the risk of opening the door to "could-ah and would-ah" in our lives. What could-ah happened if one of those great ideas for an article had gone viral and helped lots of people feel better about who they were becoming? What would-ah happened if that really good idea I had that I can no longer remember had been put into a program or class that would have helped lots of people? If I had only gotten up and written them down.
Sure, there's a chance that my brilliant overnight ideas might actually have been stinky. And there's a chance that doing something different from what you are doing now might end up with something other than a Hollywood ending…but you and I will never know if we do not get up and disturb our current state.
And what's a little funny about this is that when I have my overnight brilliance, I am not sleeping at all. I am already awake. I'm just refusing to disturb my already disturbed state. Yeah, I think that's funny and a little interesting too.
What are you willing to disturb to move closer and closer to a life that feels right for you?
It's really good to be awake. Even in the middle of the night if it helps us create the life we know is best for us. Or even in the middle of the sleepy little life we have right now if it helps us create the life we know is best for us.

Why, is that a nice patch of open dirt? Is it smooth? Inviting? Open for the donutting? Do you also happen to have a fine vintage German sportscar that is yearning to spin its tires? I think you know what to do.
My 944's suspension bits are getting long in the tooth. I've determined that I must rallycross it as a proper send-off before installing different shocks and struts—or at least go for a good rip in the dirt.
This, however, is not my 944. It's a video posted by Zev Kindig. However, if you also have a 944—or any car, for that matter—please take it in the dirt.
Is there anything with quite the healing powers of a good blast through the dirt? I can't think of anything that makes me giggle quite as fast as getting something dirty and sideways.

Why women don't rise in the workplace: Robert Walters survey
PEOPLE feel women are under-represented in leadership positions at work because of a mix of family commitments, a bias favouring men in promotions, and workplace culture, according to a survey by recruiter Robert Walters.
Robert Walters has released a paper based on a January survey of 4,400 clients and active job seekers across Asia-Pacific.
Out of the 171 people in Singapore, one in two women surveyed feel their organisation lacks a fair and equal representation of female business leaders.
Asked to name the top three reasons why that is the case, 37 per cent of all Singapore respondents, including male and female, cited family pressures or commitments outside of work.
Another 32 per cent said it is due to a preference by management to promote men over women. And 30 per cent cited a workplace culture that does not actively foster diversity, inclusion and equality.

However, Singapore fares favourably gender-wise on the leadership diversity perceptions front compared to the region as a whole.
In Asia-Pacific, four in five women think women are under-represented, versus one in two women in Singapore. Asked to name the top three reasons for under-representation, 51 per cent of all respondents (including male and female) cited family pressures, 46 per cent cited work culture, and 42 per cent cited management bias in promotions.
Mark Gabel, Schaeffler Singapore's head of aerospace, said in the report: "I think women especially have to push their case, even if it makes you uncomfortable that you have to speak clearly of your achievements."
Tricia Duran, Unilever's Singapore human resources (HR) director and a regional HR director of functions, said: "I don't think gender diversity is exclusive to me as a woman - everyone should have access to equal opportunities."

The GDP growth rate in the first quarter of 2013 registered 4.8%, aggregating to an annual growth rate of 5.0% in 2012-2013, the lowest in the last decade. Similarly, the growth rate of the construction sector declined over the revious year by 1.3 percentage points to reach 4.3%. However, over the previous quarter, the construction sector saw significant improvement, with growth increasing from 2.9% to 4.4% at the end of first quarter 2013. During the second quarter of 2013, the Indian Rupee slid in value to a record low of INR60.7 against the US Dollar. The depreciating Rupee will help exports to be more competitive and aid exporters to bring up their profit margins. However, on the flip side, the cost of imports will go up and the deficit in India's current account will widen, which could adversely impact the inflation rate.

Community pharmacy contractors passing the gateway criteria will receive a Quality Payment if they meet one or more of the quality criteria. One of the quality criteria is:
'On the day of the review, the pharmacy's NHS 111 Directory of Services entry is up to date, including bank holiday opening hours'.
(source: PSNC)
The Directory of Services (DoS) is a directory which provides NHS 111 call handlers with real time information about services available to support a particular patient. Pharmacies are included in the DoS and it is important to the efficient working of NHS 111 and some other urgent care providers that information on pharmacy services is accurate in order to allow patients to be appropriately referred to community pharmacies.
The DoS is not publicly available, as it contains information such as private telephone numbers for use by healthcare professionals, but some pharmacies can already access DoS via various systems.
source: PSNC
For NHS 111 to refer patients appropriately to community pharmacies it is critical that they have access to accurate information about pharmacies, their location, opening hours, and services provided. The aim of this quality criterion is to enable pharmacy contractors, for the first time, to view their NHS 111 DoS demographic profile and to provide corrections to that information where necessary. This is so that patients are always given the correct information when they dial NHS 111 for help.
source: PSNC
The new Directory of Services (DoS) profile updater is available to be used by community pharmacy contractors to meet the NHS 111 DoS quality criterion of the Quality Payments Scheme.
For the February 2019 review point, contractors are required to edit or confirm the information about their pharmacy is correct on the DoS profile updater by 11:59pm on 15th February 2019 to meet the quality criterion. Any changes and additional information, or confirmation that the profiles are accurate can be input directly into the DoS Profile Updater. This process is the same for 'bricks and mortar' pharmacies and distance selling pharmacies.
A guidance document on how to edit or confirm the information about a pharmacy is available on the DoS profile updater website. Contractors are strongly advised to read the guidance to ensure they fully understand how to meet the quality criterion.
source: PSNC
Once the pharmacy's details on the DoS profile updater have been submitted, the contractor will receive an email to confirm this. This email should be retained as evidence of meeting the DoS quality criterion.
The email should be received instantaneously after submitting the information on the DoS profile updater; however, please allow up to two hours for the email to be delivered. To help ensure contractors receive their confirmation emails, contractors are advised to add email@example.com to their safe senders list before they update their profile. Alternatively, contractors will need to check their junk email folder in case the email has been inappropriately filed. If the emails are not received, please email firstname.lastname@example.com to confirm that the submission has been received.
source: PSNC
If contractors have any technical difficulties accessing the DoS Profile Updater, they can email the NHS Digital helpdesk (firstname.lastname@example.com) or call them on 0300 303 4034. source: PSNC
For general enquires relating to the Directory of Services contact:
A list of local DoS contacts can be found HERE.

Yesterday, Judge Kavanaugh was asked whether he would uphold the part of the Affordable Care Act that protects people with pre-existing conditions—and he refused to answer. For people with disabilities, these protections are a life-and-death issue. With our lives on the line, we refuse to take a gamble on Kavanaugh. Your Senators need to know that you will hold them accountable – call today, and keep calling!
During this week's hearings, Kavanaugh has attempted to avoid answering for his past positions. He claimed that he, as a Justice, should have no ideology. We're not buying it.
- Kavanaugh's belief that people with intellectual disabilities do not have a right to make their own medical decisions reflects an ideology that is discriminatory and dangerous.
- His opposition to the Affordable Care Act shows that he does not value healthcare for people with disabilities.
- His support of policies that undermine the ADA shows that he does not value our access to the community.
Kavanaugh does not want to talk about what will happen if he becomes a Supreme Court Justice, because he knows his ideology stands to harm the 1 in 4 Americans with a disability.
You know the drill—it's time to call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on Kavanaugh. You can use our script while calling:
If you have trouble making phone calls or use AAC, our factsheet gives you strategies you can use to call your Senators. If you want more information about Judge Kavanaugh, including a plain language explainer, check out this resource page.
After you've called, there is more you can do to keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court:
- Visit your Senators' state offices, and let their staff know how Kavanaugh's confirmation would affect you. This kind of face-to-face meeting really makes a difference. You can find lists of your Senators' state offices on their websites.
- Email or fax your Senators. You can use the same script you did while calling.
If the Senate votes to confirm Judge Kavanaugh, he will be appointed to the Supreme Court FOR LIFE. His decisions would affect our lives for decades to come. The stakes in this nomination fight couldn't be higher—so we can't back down. We must stand up for our rights, our lives, our health care, and our choices. Make your voice heard: call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on Kavanaugh!

Which is ironic, because if you ever watch the documentary "Sir, no sir!" on the anti-war movement in the military during Vietnam, there is footage of Donald Sutherland and Jane Fonda doing absolutely biting comedy at the expense of the military, and thousands of soldiers are...eating..it...up.
Ah well, I guess some history looks better through the lens of memory than the lens of a camera.

Some Viet Nam war vets continue to feel very angry at and betrayed by Jane Fonda for her actions during the Viet Nam War. At least their anger is based on a factual event that, you know, actually happened.
Too bad conservatives don't base almost any of their incendiary rhetoric and angry temper tantrums these days on real facts. Maybe today's conservatives could learn a few lessons from Viet Nam War vets and remain rooted in reality, rather than fiction, for their responses and reactions to events.

I suppose you are right, ferschitz, about the vet's anger. But its been 35 or 40 years! Is this biggest thing that they remember from Viet Nam? That kinda explains how we bumbled into similar messes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Except that its also been embellished over the years. There are fictional stories about Fonda actually turning over notes given to her by POWs to the prison guards, which then resulted in those POWs getting beaten and tortured. I mean, what she did was bad, but lets not make up things.

Sadly, there's truth to that. Vietnam was recast by many as a war lost not by poor strategy, but by "domestic traitors" like Fonda and peaceniks who didn't care about the POWs. It was a hell of a lot easier to blame the people with long hair than it was to acknowledge the major military blunders we made.

Good points re Fonda's actions during Viet Nam: the embellishments, lies, length of time since the war, etc. I know that many Vets are pretty clear about what really happened, and they are still not happy about it.
I cannot totally blame them, even though I agree that it's easier for some in this country to blame the hippies protesting the war, rather than the Military Industrial Complex/CIA who made money off of the war.
Just saying that for someone who actually served in 'Nam, I can *agree* that they are at least upset by something that really did happen, not some made up fictional fairy tale, which is what happens these days.
The other side of the story is that conservatives will not miss one opportunity to continue stoking Vets' rage against Fonda (aka the left) at any opportunity, such as this one. What's this anyway? Slow news day in terms of punch-the-hippie??

Nearly 40 years later, still gnashing teeth.
So the forward talks of forgiving.
Suppose you actually try it?

So, um, can I just say as an under-40:
I know Jane Fonda only as Barbarella. I have no idea what she did to make conservatives mad at her.

Holy crap. It's 2010 and we're still making 'Hanoi Jane' jokes?
What, did Grandpa just figure out how to use the internets?

It was mostly conscripts and enlisted that she entertained, as a rule those most opposed to her have always been ultra-right veterans and officers. Partially reflective of the class issues that the war entailed. For more on this I recommend Jerry Lembcke's Hanoi Jane

Skip to 0 minutes and 3 seconds Now that we've looked at the outside of the heart, let's take a look inside. We're going to do this by carrying out a longitudinal section through the heart. We're going to insert a probe into the aorta - that's the central blood vessel - and then we're going to cut down the length of it. Please take care to insert a probe and not your finger into the vessel, as if you use your finger as a probe, you're very likely to cut yourself. So using the probe, insert it.
Skip to 0 minutes and 35 seconds I'm going to use a scalpel to cut down the length of the probe, but you can be using a kitchen knife. Keeping your fingers well away, carefully start to cut down the length of the probe, cutting through the tissue all the way down to the apex of the heart. Work your way down the whole of the length of the probe.
Skip to 1 minute and 2 seconds And then carefully remove the probe, and you can open up the heart. We can see here the left ventricle. I've also cut through the left atrium. So we've opened up the left atrium and the left ventricle. Immediately, you can see the inside of the heart, the heart wall, and we can see these fibrous cords or tendons - the chordae tendineae. Let's have a look at the right side. We insert the probe into the pulmonary artery, which takes us down into the right ventricle. Let's cut down the length of the probe. Again, don't use your finger as you're likely to cut yourself, cutting down the length of the probe all the way down and then opening out the heart.
Skip to 2 minutes and 3 seconds And again, we can see this time the right side to the heart. We can see into the ventricle. We can see the thinner muscle wall. And again, we can see the chordae tendineae, these fibrous cords inside.
Skip to 2 minutes and 20 seconds Let's start by taking a closer look at the heart wall. It's easier to see on the left-hand side. The heart wall is made of three layers. We've got the endocardium, that lines the inside of the heart. Then we have the myocardium, or heart muscle. Surrounding the whole heart, we have the pericardium.
Skip to 2 minutes and 48 seconds What we're going to do is measure the thickness of the heart wall. As we're scientists, we're going to measure in three different places. So take your ruler and measure the thickness of the left ventricle in three different places.
Skip to 3 minutes and 10 seconds And then note these on your worksheet.
Skip to 3 minutes and 18 seconds Let's do the same on the right-hand side. Opening the heart out, our much thinner heart wall. Let's measure its thickness in three places and note those on the worksheet.
Skip to 3 minutes and 47 seconds Let's take a moment to think about the function of those heart walls. Blood enters the left atrium, travels into the left ventricle, and from there, it's squeezed out through the aorta to travel all the way around the body. On the right-hand side, blood enters the right atrium, travels into the right ventricle, and from there, it's squeezed out through the pulmonary artery only as far as the lungs. Therefore, the muscle on the left-hand side has to work much harder. It needs to be much bigger, much thicker, much stronger to push the blood all the way around the body than the muscle on the right-hand side.
Skip to 4 minutes and 42 seconds Let's look at the atrioventricular valves now. The atrioventricular valves lie between the atria and the ventricles on each side of the heart. They're there to prevent the flow of blood in the wrong direction. Blood enters through the atrium, travelling into the ventricle. The ventricle then squeezes or contracts, forcing the blood out through the aorta, and at the same time, it forces the atrioventricular valves closed.
Skip to 5 minutes and 16 seconds But these valves are forced so fast that they're at risk of being turned inside out like an umbrella on a windy day. If we look inside the heart, we can see these fibrous chords, the chordae tendineae. And the muscles that they're attached to, these are the papillary muscles. When the heart contracts, the papillary muscles also contract, tensing through these cords and holding the valve closed so it can't be blown inside out.
Skip to 5 minutes and 54 seconds On this left-hand side of the heart, the heart valve, atrioventricular valve, is known as the mitral or bicuspid valve. That's because there are two cusps or two flaps to the valve. We can see here two papillary muscles, one here and one here, attached to two groups of chordae tendineae. There's one group here, if you imagine that was closed around, and there's another group around the back. So two papillary muscles, two groups of chordae tendineae come in to two cusps.
Skip to 6 minutes and 37 seconds On the right-hand side, if we thread our probe through the right atrium, we can see it emerging into the right ventricle, coming out through the atrioventricular valve. On the right-hand side, the atrioventricular valve is known as the tricuspid valve because it has three cusps. There are also three papillary muscles - we can see one here; the other two are tucked away - attaching to three groups of chordae tendineae, which then attach to the valves. We can see the valve on this left-hand side here. The valve looks quite delicate, but it actually has to be quite strong to withstand the forces of the blood.
Skip to 7 minutes and 32 seconds As well as the two atrioventricular valves, there are also the semilunar valves, and these lie between the ventricles and the major vessels, so between the left ventricle and the aorta and between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. They're less easy to see, particularly when the vessels have been cut through. But you might be able to see them on your specimen.
Skip to 7 minutes and 59 seconds That concludes our investigation of the outside and the inside of the heart. Complete your worksheet and then dispose of all your waste appropriately. You need to wash all of the utensils with hot, soapy water and wipe the surface down with an appropriate disinfectant. Finally, wash your hands thoroughly. I hope that you've enjoyed this practical and found it both interesting and helpful in improving your understanding of the structure the heart. Remember, you can share and discuss your findings online.
Part 2: Investigating the internal structure of the heart
In this video we look at the internal structure of the heart. You should still have everything set up from the previous step. If you haven't, make sure you've got everything set up as it is listed.
There will be a discussion in the next step where you can share your thoughts about the exercise.
