Smaller companies lead US stocks higher as Turkey fears ease
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are rallying Tuesday as worries about Turkey's currency crisis eased. Retailers and smaller companies are making some of the biggest gains. Global markets have taken two days of losses as investors worried that Turkey's troubles might spread.
KEEPING SCORE: The S&P 500 index climbed 17 points, or 0.6 percent, to 2,839 as of 1:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 118 points, or 0.5 percent, to 25,305. The Nasdaq composite added 44 points, or 0.6 percent, to 7,864. The Russell 2000 index advanced 16 points, or 1 percent, to 1,691.
The S&P 500 fell a combined 1.1 percent Friday and Monday as investors worried that Turkey's financial woes would affect other countries.
WEAVING A WIN: Tapestry, the parent company of Coach and Kate Spade, jumped after its fourth-quarter results surpassed analyst estimates. The stock surged 13.7 percent to $53.94.
Other retailers reported their results as well. Advance Auto Parts jumped 8 percent to $156.47 after its report. Competitor AutoZone picked up 5.3 percent to $767.75 and O'Reilly Automotive rose 3.3 percent to $324.64.
CALM: The Turkish lira stabilized as officials from Turkey and the U.S. said the countries are in talks to ease diplomatic tensions which have resulted in high tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum. Economists say Turkey's central bank still needs to raise interest rates significantly to strengthen its currency. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has ruled out that step.
Emerging markets fell Monday on concern that Turkey's currency turmoil could spread. The Argentine peso and India's rupee hit record lows against the dollar. Those jitters eased later Tuesday.
THE QUOTE: Invesco Chief Global Market Strategist Kristina Hooper said it's common for stocks to fall across emerging markets when one country is in trouble, but that reaction isn't necessarily justified.
"What we're seeing in emerging markets today is a repeat of what we've seen crisis after crisis for the last few decades," Hooper said. "We can't treat all emerging markets the same way."
Hooper said Argentina, like Turkey, is dealing with a plunging currency and political turmoil. But most of Turkey's problems are specific to that country and other emerging markets like Mexico are likely to recover.
SMALL, BUT GOING BIG: Smaller and medium-sized companies fared better than big U.S. multinationals. Footwear maker Wolverine World Wide gained 1.9 percent to $38.23 and watchmaker Fossil rose 6.2 percent to $26.04.
Boston Beer picked up 2.7 percent to $287.90 and RV maker Thor Industries rose 2.1 percent to $96.61.
Hooper said investors are shifting money into more U.S.-focused companies in response to the Trump administration's aggressive handling of its dispute with Turkey, a longtime member of NATO.
"This is a reminder that the U.S. is a very different country than it was just a few years ago," she said.
The U.S. said it would double its taxes on Turkish steel and aluminum as it pushes Turkey to release a pastor who is being tried on espionage and terrorism-related charges. The U.S. says the charges are fabricated.
I-CAHN'T STOP YOU: Cigna and Express Scripts both rose after billionaire investor Carl Icahn said he's ending his campaign to block the deal. He had urged Cigna shareholders to vote against the $52 billion acquisition of Express Scripts and said the price was far too high.
Health insurer Cigna added 1.4 percent to $184.36 and pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts picked up 1.7 percent to $85.44.
WATER WORKING: SJW Group rose 6.8 percent to $66.66 after California Water Service Group made a new offer to buy it. The new bid values the parent of San Jose Water at $70 a share, or $1.44 billion. The company said its board will review the offer.
Cal Water gained 0.7 percent to $40.35. Its previous offer valued SJW Group at $68.25 per share.
BONDS: Bond prices moved lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.89 percent from 2.88 percent.
OVERSEAS: Germany's DAX rose less than 0.1 percent. The CAC 40 in France fell 0.2 percent and Britain's FTSE 100 lost 0.4 percent.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 added 2.3 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng declined 0.7 percent while Seoul's Kospi advanced 0.5 percent.
ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude gained 0.2 percent to $67.31 per barrel in New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, used to price international oils, dipped 0.2 percent to $72.44 per barrel in London.
CURRENCY: The dollar rose to 111.21 yen from 110.69 yen. The euro fell to $1.1345 from $1.1394.

text: "Streets full of water. Please advise." This was the telegram American humorist Robert Benchley sent to his editor on arrival in Venice. The fish-shaped city has been astonishing and beguiling visitors for centuries. Bidisha memorably describes the experience of walking its alleys as being "like a mouse in a box of old books". For Aschenbach in Death in Venice, "this most improbable of cities" was the haunt of both Eros and Thanatos. Not everyone falls in love with it: Edward Lear was appalled by "these most stinking canals". In Lady Chatterley's Lover, DH Lawrence described it as the "holiday-place of all holiday-places" and today the tourist industry has largely squeezed out native Venetians. Henry James once protested that there is "nothing more to be said on the subject", and although this welcome addition to the excellent city-pick series of urban anthologies relies a bit too much on the obvious authors – including, ironically, much by James – with more than 100 extracts, this is a delightful literary guide to La Serenissima.

Buying a Lumenis SLT product guarantees your ability to customize treatment on a case-by-case basis and meet SLT treatment protocol requirements.
The Clinical Advantages of Lumenis SLT
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a clinically proven laser treatment to reduce IOP without coagulating the Trabecular Meshwork. SLT represents an evolution over previous laser therapies as it can be safely repeated if needed.
Mechanism of Action:
Lumenis SLT technology uses a Q-switched, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG; 532 nm wavelength green laser. When applied to the target tissue, the laser is selectively absorbed by melanin-containing pigmented cells in the Trabecular Meshwork, without causing thermal or coagulative collateral damage to adjacent tissue. The increase in expression of biological cytokines and cellular mediator activities following laser irradiation recruit macrophages to the Trabecular Meshwork. In turn, macrophages remove obstructive proteins and remodel the Trabecular Meshwork, improving aqueous humor outflow and, thereby, reducing intraocular pressure (IOP)

We would like for an experienced Hazelnut Farmer to lease the land to. The farmer will install the orchard and maintain it for a number of years, until he or she has recovered the expenses and made a profit.
At the end of the original lease we could enter into a management agreement with the original farmer or seek other management. At the end of the first lease we should have a fully operational Hazelnut Farm.
We are completing soil and slope research to confirm the land's usefulness for a Hazelnut Orchard. We would like to offer an experienced Hazelnut Farmer a lease to install the orchard and maintain it for a number of years.
Water collection could be established on the property for the little watering needs. There are 5-8 acres we would like to have tiled to improve productivity.

| 8°C Belfast
Down manager James McCartan's policy of rotating the captaincy of his team during the recent Allianz League has been hailed by county board secretary Sean Og McAteer as a "very positive element" in terms of the build-up to the Ulster Championship.
With Benny Coulter definitely ruled out and experienced trio Danny Hughes, Declan Rooney and Dan Gordon still battling to get fully fit for the flagship competition, there are fears that Down could lack leadership, particularly for the opening game against Fermanagh.
But long-serving official McAteer believes that McCartan's ploy of spreading the burden of responsibility could yet reap dividends for a team seeking to end an 18-year Ulster title famine.
"We have a panel of players and each one of them would be worth his place in the starting side so whichever 15 start against Fermanagh and whichever players come in as substitutes will certainly be up to the task," states a defiant McAteer.
"The fact that James rotated the captaincy means that a lot of players have had the opportunity to take on that added bit of responsibility.
"This is a very positive element as I see it."
In lauding the contribution that players such as Coulter, Hughes and Gordon have made to Down's cause over the course of recent years, McAteer nonetheless makes it clear that it is now time for others to assume front-stage roles in the bid to hoist Down onto the Ulster throne again.
"These players have given great service to Down and hopefully will continue to do so but there is now a chance for others to claim ownership of the side and set an example. This will be very important in the context of the Championship," maintains McAteer.
Down reached the league semi-finals in which they were beaten by Cork but McAteer insists that their campaign helped to highlight the impact that a number of players have been making of late.
"We have people like Aidan Carr, Mark Poland, Aidan Brannigan, Peter Turley, Niall Brannigan, Arthur McConville and Damien Turley who have been doing well for us and obviously this enhances the manager's selection options," maintains McAteer.
The form of the youthful Niall McParland at wing-back and the consistency of Conor Laverty in attack are other plus-factors that Down will take into the game against Fermanagh.
"James McCartan has not been afraid to give players a chance and those who were blooded in the league have done extremely well. Because of this, our predicament in relation to injuries is not as bad as it might have been," points out McAteer.
The form of Ambrose Rogers, too, infuses an added layer of confidence into the Down set-up.
"Ambrose was out from August 2010 until the start of this year, you might say, and the fact that he is absolutely flying just now is hugely encouraging for us.
"This game against Fermanagh is a big test for us but we will be ready for it, injuries or no injuries," insists McAteer.

Pious Imperialism
Spanish Rule and the Cult of Saints in Mexico City
Albuquerque, NM:University of New Mexico Press, May2019.296 pages.$65.00.Hardcover.ISBN9780826360267.For other formats: Link to Publisher's Website.
Review by Daniel Nourry forthcoming.
This book analyzes Spanish rule and Catholic practice from the consolidation of Spanish control in the Americas in the sixteenth century to the loss of these colonies in the nineteenth century by following the life and afterlife of an accidental martyr, San Felipe de Jésus. Using Mexico City–native San Felipe as the central figure, Conover tracks the global aspirations of imperial Spain in places such as Japan and Rome without losing sight of the local forces affecting Catholicism. He demonstrates the ways Spanish religious attitudes motivated territorial expansion and transformed Catholic worship. Using Mexico City as an example, Conover also shows that the cult of saints continually refreshed the spiritual authority of the Spanish monarch and the message of loyalty of colonial peoples to a devout king. Such a political message in worship, Conover concludes, proved contentious in independent Mexico, thus setting the stage for the momentous conflicts of the nineteenth century in Latin American religious history.

Album Discography
"Bootleg Baby" (Hep' Me 2004)
1. Swing That Thing
"You Give Good Loving" (Hep' Me 2005)
1. You Give Me Good Loving
"Backyard Party" (Hep' Me 2006)
1. Backyard Party
** Little Kim Stewart is a talented gal. She has a sweet voice and writes her own material. Unfortunately, she's given puny, generic machine production at her new "Back Yard Party". Just listen to that toy (?) keyboard on the title cut and silly synths that stymie a catchy little Beach number. It's a demo plain and simple. Her vocal is strong on the melodic slowie "Mean The World To Me" but the backing sounds like it was playing in a different room. "It's Friday" coulda been a hit party jam but...you get the picture. Don't get me wrong- I'm aware some folks will still enjoy this. In fact many low budget CDs of this sort sell fairly well on the Chitlin' Circuit. But for many others it's waste of some good songs. The songs and singing get a "B" but the sound gets an "F". Frustrating. (Kim, I hope your contract is over so you can move on up to a better label).
"Southern Soul Slide" (Hep Me 2007)
1. Southern Soul Slide - (Club Mix)
**1/2 We've had enough "slide" songs out there. In fact there's already been a mega-smasharoo out there called "Southern Soul Slide" (by Team Airplay and the Carolina Connection) but Kim's isn't the same song. This one's (actually three versions) a copy of the original Disco "Electric Slide" with slightly different lyrics. It's cute but those rhythm tracks are wack and the weakest thang on a damn good record. "Come On To The Whitehall" would be a greater jam but the production is so itsy bitsy I just can't hear it at a club. That's the dealeo. This would be one of the albums of the year with fatter sounds. At least it's fatter than last record. Where's the bass though? The beats? Shame too 'cuz Kim can sang and write as good as any sista out there. "Celebrate Our Love" and "Real Southern Soul Woman" are tight tracks that the background music can't trifle with. "Phat Cat" is sho 'nuff nasty but crazy good! Funkier that ten day old drawers!
In fact "Slide" is the best collection of songs on any of her albums but they deserve better tracks. I wish somebody would spend some money on this gal and put her up in a bigass studio! (CLH)

This is the moment where Justin Bieber appears to have finally thrown in the towel and called it quits on his self-righteous fight against the world.
The snotty 20-year-old's deposition dragged on for almost five hours – which is punishment enough, surely? - in the lawsuit where his bodyguard allegedly beat up a photographer.
In the footage, obtained by TMZ , he smugly looks down the lens of a camera knowing that while one person might be stood behind the filming equipment - there are millions of people who will watch the final edit.
And while there's an audience, the puny nuisance is going to perform – that's his 'job' after all.
Forget the egg-throwing drama , his war with the paparazzi, his recent arrest for driving under the influence and, of course, urinating in a restaurant's mop bucket.
An incident where someone else is apparently to blame probably isn't high on his list of 'Things I'd Quite Like To Spend Half A Day Talking To A Passive Aggressive Man About, To Be Honest'.
Whether or not his obnoxious behaviour is part of an act we'll never know but what's painfully obvious is he's sick of spending his time answering the same questions to a bunch of suits with a legal degree.
He's asked to watch a "film" of the incident which is understood to show his bodyguard at the scene of an alleged attack.
To which a confused Bieber brilliantly questioned the prosecutor's interpretation of what a film actually is, as opposed to video footage.
Bieber also exceptionally compares his interrogation to being rattled by Katie Couric or a popular 60 Minutes interview.
It was a genuinely funny quip in the most bizarre and arrogant video I've ever seen. I was amazed by how well he handled a lot of the inane questions.
The only time he lost his head was when asked about on-off girlfriend Selena Gomez and in fairness, what's that got to do with anything in the grand scheme of things?
Bieber also shuts his eyes and does a pretty good impression of playing dead – a skill he's developed from years of playing sleeping lions on tour no doubt - until he frowns in disgust when asked if Usher, his mentor during his pre-pubescent and less troublesome years, was instrumental in his career.
Granted, there's not a lot that's instrumental about Bieber's musical success but that's not the point.
Sadly while the worldwide megastar was trying to claim he was instrumental to his own phenomenal success he said: "I was detrimental to my own career."
It's ironic that among all the nonsense in his deposition it was this unfortunate self-critique where truer words have never been spoken.

Fort Bend ISD Board hears dismal review of the iAchieve Program
The school board dropped the ball on this one.
Poor project management, unrealistic goals and questionable record keeping highlighted a less than flattering report of Fort Bend ISD's $16 million iAchieve program.
The first phase of the controversial iAchieve initiative was launched in February 2012 as a way to deliver interactive science curriculum to elementary and middle school students at 14 schools using 6,300 iPads.
Concerns about the program, its implementation and cost were raised by the Fort Bend ISD Board members and Superintendent Charles Dupre. Dupre asked Gibson Consulting, Inc. to prepare a comprehensive report documenting the history of iAchieve. The results of Gibson's report were presented at the September 9 regular board meeting.
The report showed a series of problems with iAchieve starting with an unrealistic timeline that overly stressed teachers charged with writing the science curriculum. Constant changes to the iAchieve's software program, or platform, and inconsistencies in curriculum standards meant "the goal lines were always being moved" resulting in a lackluster launch that never gave the program solid footing.
"Most of the schools show a real underutilization of the iPads in the course of a typical day," said Lon Heuer with Gibson Consulting Group.
In addition, the report suggested that the district should have hired an iAchieve manager with skills in project management and instructional technology to take charge of the large-scale project. The report mentioned 12 special project coordinators who were hired to help teachers navigate iAchieve, did not have the right skill set to do properly do the job.
"The former CIO (Robert Calvert) served as the project manager but being a CIO is a full time job," said Heuer "(iAchieve) was hindered by the fact that it didn't have a dedicated project manager with skills in project management and a background in instructional technology."
Gibson's report also detailed a series of poor contract management practices involving Curriculum Ventures, a company hired by the district to oversee the instructional technology. Whether Curriculum Ventures had any prior experience implementing a large scale project such as iAchieve is murky, the report says. Furthermore, the district lacked documentation showing the progress and status of iAchieve and there was little or no accountability as the program progressed.
"It appeared the company was doing work but Fort Bend ISD had no idea what was being done and how the project was moving forward," Heuer said.
Trustees called the report "distressing" and "disappointing".
"When we drill a $16 million dollar dry hole as we did with this, these post mortems are used to learn. I'd like to consider this a teachable moment." said Trustee Dave Rosenthal.
"We're sitting here with egg on our face because we haven't had any information for a year and a half," said Trustee Bruce Albright. "It is not that we haven't asked for it–we haven't gotten it."
Dupre vowed to investigate the data presented in the report and to find a way for the district to salvage the iAchieve equipment and curriculum.
"We will follow up on those questions as appropriate including engaging legal council when needed to determine whether any unethical or illegal activity may have taken place," Dupre said. "We will re-deploy those resources in a manner that allows them to be used in a district classroom to support academic achievement."

Math Lessons are among the best things you can find on the coolmath4kids website. All the lessons are crafted considering kids below 12 years of age in mind and are easy to read and understand.
That precisely the reason why even parents & teachers go through the content at the cool math kids' portal. It gives them an understanding of how to teach a topic to the child in the best possible manner.
It's a remarkable job done by the team of Constructive Media I must say.
Apart from math lessons, there are games, quizzes, brain teasers, and manipulatives you may like to explore on www.coolmath4kids.com.
Now, let's look into the lessons available in various categories of Addition, Subtraction, Division, Multiplication, and Fractions.
Addition Lessons
The lessons are subdivided into chapters based on the concepts and difficulty.
This is to make sure that there is a good learning progression starting from knowing how addition works, to getting friendly with number line and place values, and then addition within 100 & 1000, etc.
There's a similar structure of chapters in Subtraction & Addition. As both of them are the concepts of numbers. You get a head start on subtraction, then move on to subtraction within 100 and 1000, learn about place values, etc.
Multiplication & Division
The Chapters of both Multiplication and Division are divided into two areas:
- Basic Multiplication and Division Concepts
- Advanced or working with long numbers while multiplying or dividing
The number of chapters in 'fractions' is the maximum. It makes sense too. Once you learn various concepts of numbers, working with fractions and practising the concepts are the best ways to reinforce your math skills.
You can start with getting to know what are fractions, equivalent fractions, comparing two fractions, adding or subtracting fractions, etc.
Over to you
While there is CoolMath4kids website for kids below 12, there are other sister websites of the same network in the domains of mathematics games, learning middle school math, and quizzes.
You may also like to check out our suggested list of legal websites to play free games online, such as cool math games, FRIV, A-game, Miniclip, etc.
Which lessons do you find the most useful? Let us know in the comments below.

DENVER (CBS4)– More than 400 health professionals gathered in Colorado on Thursday to focus on fighting opioid addiction. There were 558 reported opioid overdose deaths in 2017 in Colorado, from both prescription opioids and illegal opioids, like heroin.
Ozzie Cabral was one of the recovering addicts who spoke at the Colorado Opioid Safety Summit.
"It felt like I was on a planet," described Cabral, "This universe is between you and Earth. There is no rocket, there's no nothing that can get you back. That's how it felt for a long time."
Cabral has been clean for 18 years. Now he's using his experience to guide others down a better path.
"There was just something that said, if I stay the same I'm going to die," said Cabral. "If you think you know what recovery is going to bring you, you're cutting yourself short. It's really going to bring you so much more."
The Colorado Hospital Association and the Colorado Department of Human Services joined the Office of Behavioral Health to host the event.
Through $4 million in federally funded opioid grants, the Office of Behavior Health. is helping Coloradans with opioid disorders access treatment. One of the strategies introduced at the summit involved early treatment in addicts.
"When somebody comes into the emergency department, and they have an opiate disorder, we can actually get them started on treatment before they leave," said Cristen Bates, Office of Behavior Health.
The goal is to make sure addicts who come to the emergency department get continuing treatment. This pilot program is only in two Colorado hospitals, St. Anthony North and UCHealth, but research shows the treatment belongs in more.
"People who have a warm hand off to treatment, and start in the ER, are much more likely to be in recovery 6 months, 9 months, 12 months later," said Bates.
The grant also funds increased access to medication-assisted treatment and provides buprenorphine and alternative pain medicine training to doctors. The Office of Behavior Health is also working with partners to launch mobile medication-assisted treatment units to increase access to treatment in rural areas.

My love for ice cream began very early; some doctors would probably argue that it was too early. (See last picture in this Father's Day post for proof.) I believe I first tried ice cream when I was still on the bottle, probably around 3 months old. My dad gave me a taste because, well, I didn't need any teeth – no teeth required! – to enjoy his favorite evening, indulgence. And to this day, my dad eats a bowl of ice cream every. single. night. One of the best birthday presents I ever gave him was an ice cream maker. He became obsessed, mastering a ton of ice cream recipes, but mainly perfecting his vanilla bean recipe. Simple things are tough!
This ice cream right here is tart, sweet with bright coral swirls. Hello! I realize I'm repeating myself with this swirl business. Everything lately is getting a swirl. Also, everything that's sweet is also salty. I can't help it! I'm a woman obsessed.
This post is brought to you in collaboration with Real California Milk. I had no idea until they sent me a fun fact sheet, but the state of California produces more ice cream than any other state in the United States, which basically means California is the best.

New Delhi: The Central district administration yesterday imposed a ban on public meetings, protests and shouting of slogans near Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence for next 30 days in view of "serious and law and order problems".
Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) B K Jha issued an order under Section 144 of the CrPC, restricting demonstrations, making of speech by any political party outside Kejriwal's residence on Flag Staff Road in North Delhi's Civil Line area.
Following the order, the Delhi BJP condemned the ban, saying "this must be the first time" since Police Commissioner system came to the national capital that an SDM of Delhi government has imposed such a ban.
"It has been reported that various political parties and pressure groups may hold protests, demonstrations, dharnas, processions etc on political and others issues in front, near or around the residence of the chief minister, GNCTD (Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi), which may create serious law & order problems..."
These protests need to be prohibited in order to "prevent public nuisance, obstruction to traffic and persons, danger to inhuman lives or safety and public property," the SDM (Civil Lines) said in his order.
He said in August, there are many festivals such as Independence Day, Raksha Bandhan, Parsi New Year, Janamasthmi and people in general use to visit the CM and officers' residence in festive season.
"Therefore, it is apprehended that any demonstration, protests or dharna etc will create public nuisance and serious law and order problems. It will also cause obstruction to the vehicular traffic movement, danger to human lives and property," the order stated.
Condemning the move, Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay in a statement said, "It seems the ban has been imposed through SDM as autocrat Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is in no mood to tolerate any democratic demonstration or protest against him."
Upadhyay also said it was "really shocking" that such an "anti democratic step" of banning demonstrations has been taken by a government whose head once staked his government to demonstrate & obstruct the nation's republic day function.

Career Planning: The Employee's Role in Driving Their Own Success
by Sharlyn Lauby | Posted | Career Management
In the first part of this series on career planning, we talked about the role organizations play in developing employees. Organizations, specifically managers, have to create the foundation for career planning success. But that doesn't mean the company should assume all the responsibility.
(Confidential to all employees out there: this story is for your organization's HR leadership, but there are some rich nuggets to mine for your own career. Read on!)
Did you know that employees are an equal partner in their own career planning? Remember the definition of career planning is "the process of matching career goals with capabilities." That can't happen without employee involvement.
Three skills employees need to become better career planners
If we view career planning in terms of employee career stages (i.e. early, mid and late), this provides employees with a roadmap of the skills they should consider developing. Keep in mind early career could be defined as an employee's early career with the company, with a team or in a particular role. The same holds true for mid and late careers.
Here are three different skills that employees can use to drive their own career plan and complement what the organization is doing:
1. Self-Awareness
The first step to successful career planning is knowing where the employee wants to go with their career. A word of caution: These career dreams have to originate from the employee. It might be tempting to "talk an employee into" or "strongly encourage" them to take a role, but that could lead to employee disengagement and turnover. The solution is for employees to gain an understanding of what they enjoy doing and start developing opinions about their future. Then, they can share with their manager (or a prospective employer) their unique career aspirations.
2. Problem Solving
Speaking of solutions, every once in a while, we get stuck in our careers. Maybe we're not moving up as fast as we would like. Or we're trying to figure out whether to get a certification or a degree. And, we don't always want to talk it out with a manager or human resources. Employees need to know a personal problem-solving model that will allow them to work through issues on their own. On a side note, having an employee who can use a proven problem-solving model isn't a bad thing for the organization, either.
3. Decision-Making
This final thought aligns with the two points above (self-awareness and problem solving). At some point, employees need to make the final decision where their careers are concerned. And they need to make that decision in a way in which they're comfortable. Employees need to know how and when they like to make decisions. Ideally, they should share that information with the company so when they're presented with an opportunity, the employee's reaction is somewhat predictable.
If organizations aren't already doing it, they might want to consider adding some career planning related questions to their interview process for both internal and external hires. Some sample interview questions include:
- Tell me about a time when you had to make a big decision. What was it and how did you go about making it?
- Describe the process you use when you have to solve a problem. How did the process help the final solution?
- Share a situation where you learned something about yourself. What was the situation and what did you learn?
Employees take the lead in career planning
Organizations are very involved in the process of career planning, but that doesn't mean they can drive the results. Employees need to understand themselves and decide what they want their careers to look like - both short and long term.
It's also the employee's responsibility to communicate those goals to management. Ultimately, that's how managers can support the employee and their plans for the future.

Every year that I have the privilege of serving as a worship pastor I feel like I'm learning new lessons. If I could share for only 60 seconds with worship leaders just starting out, these are some of the things I'd try to cram in.
Go deep with God. Study the Bible. Study how the gospel connects to everything in the world. Pray. Read great books. Engage in the corporate gathering. Don't be a green-room junkie. Take notes during the sermon. Love people well. Be patient. Communicate often. Communicate personally. Be warm. Get others involved. Give private and public honor to those who are serving (not just private; not just public). Apologize when you've led poorly. Respond to emails as quickly and graciously as possible. Make time to encourage youth who serve in musical worship. Don't take yourself too seriously. Make sure your list of go-to songs has a lot of gospel-charged stuff in it. Study the "nature" of songs. What do songs "get done"? Be picky about the songs you add to your congregation's "hymnal." Do you have a broad enough list of songs that allow people to confess sin, to learn about God's character, to experience consolation, to be pulled from despair/melancholy, to get ready for action and mission, to die and meet Jesus and call it gain? Love your pastor. Ask for feedback. Don't undermine the coherency of your leadership team. Don't put off dealing with uncomfortable issues. Before you do something confrontational, get input from your pastor/pastoral team to find out if you should proceed and/or how you should proceed. Cultivate margin and a healthy family life. Lead them in worship, too. They are your little "flock." Hug and kiss your wife and kids often. Remember Jesus Christ and never lose gospel wonder.
If I only had 60 seconds to encourage worship leaders who have been doing this for decades, I'd share the same thing.

A word of advice here. Don't just give that old can of lima beans no one really likes anyway. First think of practical needs. Items always needed at food pantries include:
*Shelf stable proteins — Canned tuna or salmon, Canned chicken or other meats, Canned beans, Dried beans, Canned soups and stews, Peanut butter, Nuts, Canned chili, Trail mix
* Pantry staples such as Rice (especially whole grain), Oatmeal, Pasta (especially whole grain), Diced tomatoes, Tomato sauce, Canned vegetables, Cooking oils (such as olive oil or canola oil), Flour
*Holiday Ingredients and Side Dishes, Canned pumpkin, canned yams, cranberry sauce, boxed stuffing, dried macaroni, canned vegetables.
Think about healthy foods you like to eat. Hold off on the snacks and junk foods. Most food banks get more than enough of these. What they need is good food to fill people up. Some food pantries like to have juice boxes for children, but real juice only please. If you have special dietary needs think about picking up an extra when you buy your special foods. People in need also have health conditions requiring special diets. If in doubt call the food pantry and ask what they need.
Finally, remember there are hungry people every day of the year. Contribute to food pantries throughout the year, especially in the summer.

WRLD3D at the UNESCO Creative Cities Annual Meeting in Enghien-les-Bains
At the start of the year, Dundee based 3D Mapping technology company WRLD3D (formally eeGeo) were selected to represent Dundee at the Are You Talking To Me? exhibition as part of this year's UNESCO Creative Cities Annual Meeting in Enghien-les-Bains. Piers Duplock talks us through his experiences of their time in France.
'We were recently invited to attend the UNESCO Creative Cities Annual Meeting in Enghien-les-Bains, France as representatives of Dundee, City of Design. We had a fantastic experience, meeting like-minded individuals in other cities of design spanning the globe, but also meeting people from the other clusters, such as literature and music, and finding many similarities there too.
It all started with our fantastic UNESCO team here in Dundee reaching out to us, they informed me that the annual meeting was occurring and that there was an exhibit for each of the clusters. With our company being heavily design focused we jumped at the chance to be involved. The design cluster exhibition was called 'Are you talking to me?' and focused on connected objects and the idea that our devices are talking to each other and to us.
Our application was accepted and we set about creating a demo showcasing the data visualisation options of different connected object sensors, on top of our map platform. We did this with different types of sensors and locations, such as electricity use in a university campus, road congestion along a bus route and meeting room booking and occupancy in an office environment – all of which was centred around Dundee, using our local partners and friends.
We were extremely excited to also be invited out to attend the annual meeting, as well as the exhibit. We heard from the mayor of Enghien-les-Bains on what it means for them to be a designated City of Media Arts and their joy of hosting the hundreds of delegates from around the world. We also heard from the Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, who urged us all to use creativity to build towards sustainable cities. All of which was very inspiring and it was great to hear people being passionate about global communities coming together to solve global issues.
The main highlight for me was being able to sit down with the other design cities and discuss some of the important issues facing design now, and I'm hoping those discussions can continue in the future and affect action.
It was a great and humbling experience to represent Dundee on a world stage, and I hope to get many more opportunities as Dundee expands its UNESCO influence and bids to be European Capital of Culture in 2023.'
Piers Duplock is the Producer at WRLD3D (formally eeGeo), a Dundee based company making 3D Mapping technology.

Not everyone is willing to pay $600 for a new Android smartphone. Thankfully, there are budget-friendly alternatives to the otherwise high-priced handsets like the Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel. Android Go is a line of entry-level Android smartphones that sell for less than $100. Up until now, though, they've only been released in emerging markets like India. As reported by Ars Technica, that has since changed as the first Android Go smartphone was recently launched in the United States.
Available for $79.99, the ZTE Tempo Go is an inexpensive Android Go handset that's perfect for casual users. It features a quad-core Snapdragon 210 processor chip, 8GB of storage space, 1GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel secondary camera, a non-removable 2,200mAh battery and an 854×480 touchscreen display.
Some consumers may turn their head at the thought of using an Android handset with only 8GB of storage space. However, the Tempo Go features a microSD slot for additional storage space. Once you've filled the handset with 8GB of data, you can add a microSD card to increase its capacity. Considering there are 512GB microSD cards now available, storage space shouldn't be a problem for most users. The Tempo Go also features a LTE connectivity, Wi-Fi, a 3.5mm headphone jack and support for GSM and CDMA wireless carrier bands.
Like all Android Go handsets, the Tempo Go runs a special slimmed-down version of Google's Android Oreo. Known as Android Go, it was designed specifically for handsets with 1GB or less of RAM. Android Go looks like Google's standard Android Oreo mobile operating system. However, it's been optimized to reduce data usage by enabling the system's Data Saver mode automatically. It also uses a special version of Google's app suite to reduce resource consumption. Furthermore, the Play Store highlights apps that work well with Android Go devices.
Although it's currently the only Android Go smartphone offered in the United States, others are expected to launch in the near future. Manufacturer TCL, for instance, says it will launch the Alcatel 1X handset in the United States later this year. Assuming it attracts buyers, we'll probably see more Android Go phones launched stateside in the months to follow.

Senator Christopher "Kip" Bateman (R-Somerset), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement regarding today's confirmation hearing for Anne Patterson, nominated by Governor Christie to the New Jersey Supreme Court:
"Anne Patterson is more than qualified to serve on the New Jersey Supreme Court. She has a rock-solid reputation as one of the brightest legal minds in our state and is highly respected by her peers in the legal community.
" Today's confirmation hearing was a year in the making, but the delay cannot deter from the significance of the moment. Ms. Patterson's appointment to the court would mean that for the first time in New Jersey history, we would have a majority of women on the State Supreme Court. New Jersey would become only the fifth State in the nation to have such a balance.
"Because of Ms. Patterson's education, experience and reputation, I am optimistic she will be confirmed by the full Senate and be the next member of New Jersey's Supreme Court."

Talking to Clare the other night, we came to discussing her time in Koh Samui. You can fit 25 Koh Samuis inside the area surrounded by London's M25. But, unlike London, Koh Samui is mainly rainforest! It takes about 2 hours to drive round it and, wherever you are, you are never far from a palm-lined beach. Despite its size, it is one of Thailand's most famous tourist attractions and now, every year, 1.5 million tourists dwarf the permanant residents who live on the island.
Of course 25 years ago, when Clare was there, it was more of a trek (no airport) and consequently you stayed longer! Now, visitors can easily come and go: its popularity for being just one part of a Thai multi-centre holiday itineraries (Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Koh Samui for example) means that the average stay is around 4 days.
Of course you can get a lot of variety just by staying on the island. However you arrive – by boat or by plane, flying into the airport that has since been built at the North East tip of the island, it is then easy to explore its bar-lined tourist centres, its secluded beaches and it lush interior at your own speed, enjoying your very own multi-centre holiday… and just one place to call home.
Instead of dashing all over South East Asia it is possible to experience it in microcosm in 228square kilometres! From waterfalls to beaches, night markets to temples, marine parks to night clubs, island hopping to motorbike tours, it is surprising that so many people just visit Koh Samui for such a short time.
25 years ago, Clare stayed in a shack on the beach – all of which have been replaced by bungalos and beach resorts. Now accommodation options on Koh Samui offer the usual range that you will find on most tropical islands: hotels, hostels and apartments are dotted all over the island and all can be booked for anything between one night and one year – check your country's visa requirements for longer stays!
For a more relaxed style of accommodation and certainly a great idea for longer stays, there are a huge range of Koh Samui apartments for rent. Whilst a great choice of luxury hotels and spas attract the short break brigade.
There are many tropical islands in the world with an awful lot less on offer than Thailand's Koh Samui so it is quite remarkable to consider that, what is on offer, comes in such a small packet!
If you visited 25 years ago you may not recognise this Island paradise now, but at least you can still call it a paradise!

The Academy Awards might be the most prestigious awards in the US film industry but the Oscars red carpet is one of the biggest fashion moments of the year defining trends in fashion.
A vast majority of actresses this year choose neutral colors or demure silhouettes.
Emma Stone, Jessica Biel, and Charlize Theron have chosen gowns in all shades of gold.
Emma Stone, the star of the Musical La La Land wore one of the best dresses of the night. She walked the red carpet in a gold, fluid-fringed Givenchy gown.
Priyanka Chopra wore an eye-catching geometric Ralph and Russo white-and-silver panel dress hugging her body with shield like front and exposed sides.
Dakota Johnson, the star of the Fifty Shades movies, was wearing a high-necked, full-coverage golden Gucci gown representing a significant style shift from her first appearance on Oscar red carpet two years ago.
Naomie Harris made the boldest fashion choice of the night, in the first Oscar dress to be made by Raf Simons for Calvin Klein. It was kneelength, with a floor length train at the back, and a keyhole cut out at the ribs. The cctress also wore the asymmetric shoes seen at Calvin Klein's New York fashion week show two weeks ago.

Iftar is the time of the day when people in Kashmir generally rush towards their homes. No longer. An increasing number of people, mostly youth, prefer to break their fast at a restaurant.
Yawar Reshi and Irfan Qadir, both chartered accountants, are the young Kashmiris who would rather enjoy the Iftar at a restaurant than at home. They believe Iftar outings with their friends give them moments of joy in a place often marred by desolation.
"This is something different. We feel like a bit relaxed to spend time amongst our friends," says Qadir waiting at a Srinagar restaurant along with Reshi for other friends to arrive. "It gives us a sense of bonding . We not only break our fast but share thoughts as well".
Like Reshi and Qadir, Anwar Hussain has also arrived along with his wife and two daughters at a city restaurant to break their fast. A doctor by profession, Hussain wants to give a feeling of the blessed month to his two daughters.
"At least children should feel that this month is something very special," says Hussain, while feeding fruits to one of his daughters Noorain. "I want my children to get a feel of this blessed month.
Though breaking fast in restaurants in Kashmir is not something new to Kashmir - many office goers including wealthy businessmen, senior government employees are often seen enjoying lavish Iftar parties - the trend has caught on with Kashmiris. Ordinary people too have started coming to restaurants to break their fast with their family or friends.
The restaurants in city are also encashing on the trend by offering special Iftar packages. Not only food but at certain places, due arrangement is made for prayers.
Some of the restaurants in the city including 7C's Café and Fine Dine restaurant shut their businesses during the day, and open exclusively to serve meals for Iftar only.
Bashir Ahmad, manager at the restaurant, claims that they were first to introduce concept of Iftar outings in Kashmir.
"It's concept which we have introduced from Saudi Arabia where restaurants in cities such as Jeddah, Mecca and Medina open exclusively for Iftar only," Ahmad said. Ahmad has worked in Middle East's hotel industry before returning to Kashmir.
The restaurant has introduced three course Iftar meal with Kashmiri Nun chai (salt tea). The Iftar outings in the city restaurants can be lavish and cost in thousands. However, there are various outlets which offer special Ifar meals ranging from Rs 300 to Rs 800.
Some restaurant owners say that Iftar outings have brought them good business. Take the case of Mohammad Ashraf, working as caterer cum manager at Zero Bridge Fine Dine Café, the restaurant housed inside Tourism Department's houseboat replica. At afternoon, Ashraf is still busy cleaning the leftovers from last evening's Iftar event at the restaurant.
"We are offering five non-veg varities in a seven course Iftar meal at nominal rate. Besides, we also offer post meal sweet dish," says Ashraf, while tucking tissue papers in the stand at a table.
Some restaurants such as Goodfellas also offer non vegetarian dishes from Central Asia for which people have to shed some extra bucks. And there are customers for it.
There is also a section of population with a big appetite for Kashmiri wazwan. On an average Samci Rivera restaurant at Rajbagh receives half a dozen bookings for wazwan course meal.
"The rates of meals can go from Rs 3000 to Rs 4000 for a group of four to six people on a normal day. In this blessed month, we give a special rebate," says Bilal Ahmad, accountant at the restaurant.
There are places such as Café De Polo where groups of friends including journalists and officials have some moments of leisure, while breaking their fast. This is what Usra, manager at the restaurant has observed in the initial days of the blessed month, after launching special Ramzan offer.
Meanwhile, two infant girls Laaibah and Maaha have made a cheerful smiley out of the snacks at a Srinagar restaurant, while their father Dr Aabid Mir looks at them in appreciation.
"This is what I want on their faces, joy," says overwhelmed medico from Srinagar's old city, perhaps, echoing the wishes of every parent in Kashmir.

As The Slid Project advances, I think it might be important to explain a little better some of the major observations that lay the foundation of our proposal. It seems to me that sharing these considerations will help people understand the goals and intentions of the design —and hopefully— also enabling them to make the best use of it.
The most important piece of information at the current time is to remember we're doing this for Costa Rica. Even though we're aware of the potential of this product in foreign markets, we have a clear vision of experimenting better traffic conditions in our country. This means that our proposal must overcome a series of challenges characteristic of our country:
- Weather (temperature, rain, wind, humidity)
- Topography (slopes, curves, distances)
- Infrastructure (potholes, available roads)
- Road conditions (traffic jams, lack of parking space, road accidents)
- Environment (noise pollution, emissions, energy generation and spending)
- Market (vehicle options currently available, vehicle fleet)
- Economy (industry, public debt, markets)
In the following days I will present our perspective on each of these points. But let me say: I think it's very likely that if we get the Slid to perform well on Costa Rican roads, it'll perform well almost everywhere.

Data deduplication -- the process of detecting and removing duplicate data from a storage medium or file system -- is one of those simple ideas that gets complex in the implementation. Duplicate data may be detected at the file, bit, or block level, and the deduplication may be done at the client (source deduplication) or on the storage device itself (target deduplication). You can also choose between inline, which removes duplicate data before writing to the storage device, or postprocess, which removes duplicate data after the data is stored. In short, you have lots of flexibility -- and many trade-offs to consider.
File deduplication is the fastest method, but also the least effective because deduplication can occur only when files are identical at the bit level. If two files differ in name only, for example, both files will be stored. Bit- and block-level deduplication take a more granular approach. Both methods peer inside the file to analyze its contents, looking for duplicate sequences of bits or blocks of data. Deduplication at the bit or block level is much more effective than file-level dedupe, but also more processing-intensive. Greater data reduction comes at the cost of performance.
When applied to backups, data deduplication delivers all sorts of benefits: vastly smaller backup sets, less data to push over the WAN for off-site backups, and the ability to keep more backup data online. Deduplication is really made for backups, which, after all, generally store the very same files over and over again. But deduplication is also inching its way into primary storage. Microsoft, for example, has made data deduplication for NTFS volumes a standard feature of Windows Server 2012. A look at the intelligent features of Microsoft's solution -- ignoring encrypted and compressed files, deduping only older files, processing in the background, and so on -- illustrate the many challenges of applying deduplication in a busy production environment.

The CFast Drive from Addonics is a unique and flexible platform for creating your own solid state drive (SSD) with a high speed SATA interface using the latest high speed CFast card. Designed to be installed into a standard 5 1/4" drive bay of a Desktop or Rack mounted system, the CFast Drive can accommodate up to six CFast media. The six media could be configured as six independent drives or combined into a RAID group to form a large capacity, high performing solid state drive. Any of the six media slots can be set up to be used as an internal storage application so that the media cannot be accessible from outside the system. This flexibility enables the CFast drive to be used as a bootable storage device, as six removable drives or as a combination of a boot drive and removable storage all inside a 5 1/4" drive bay. It is the ideal solution for adding solid state storage to any Desktop or Rack mount system for better performance, lower power consumption and improving the durability in computing environments with frequent shocks and vibrations.
The six media slots in CFast drive are highly customizable. The CFast media can be mixed and matched and any of the slots can be converted into an internal flash drive slot. The models presented on this page are configurations that fits many common applications, but you may also configure your own.
CFast Drive with 6 independent media slots
In this configuration, the six media slots are set up to connect to system via six SATA ports. The six media will appear as six drive letters in the Operating System. Any one of the media slot can be set up as a boot media. Each media slot can also be converted into an internal slot to prevent the media from accessible outside the system.
CFast RAID drive
The CFast RAID drive is equipped with five removable media slots and one internal media slot. The six externally accessible media slots are connected to a Hardware Port Multiplier (HPM). This enable all six media to be connected to a system via just 2 SATA ports. The five removable media connecting to the HPM can be set up as a single drive volume in RAID 0, 5, 5+S or as five independent drives. Either the RAID volume or the one internal media slot can be used as a boot drive.
This internal media slot can be used as a boot drive and also be converted into an external slot. Using the dip switches on the HPM or the HPM Windows utility, the 5 removable media can be configured as a large capacity and high performance solid state drive or as five independent* removable drive
Imagine the benefits of combining six memory cards in a RAID architecture or use them as six separate storage drives. Totally awesome!View article

Despite already signing four players this summer, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is looking to add further additions to his squad as the club prepares to defend its Premier League crown, reports Sky Sports.
Willy Caballero, Antonio Rudiger, Tiemoué Bakayoko and Alvaro Morata have all signed for Chelsea this transfer window. Yet, the departures of a number of key figures from the club and the expulsion of Diego Costa from the first team squad, has left Antonio Conte's pool of players looking a bit thin on the ground with the club's first game of the new season just three days away.
As a result, the Mirror have linked Chelsea with a move for at least four more players during this summer window, with Southampton's Virgil Van Dijk and Inter Milan's Antonio Candreva both on the club's list of potential targets.
The Italian manager was in London on Wednesday at an official Premier League event where he was questioned about the club's proposed transfer activity.
When asked whether he would like to sign more players this summer by Sky Sports Premier League, Conte replied:
"I hope to be able to improve our squad. The transfer market is not finished. We want to be competitive and we want to fight for the title again", Sky Sports report.
Moreover, when pressed to reveal how many more additions he would like to add, the Italian responded with a short answer, as Sky Sports report:
"The club knows very well which are my priorities."

Length is a measure of how long an object is from one end to the other end.
There are many ways of measuring length. Many years ago, people used parts of the human body to measure things, such as digits, palms, palm span, foot, cubit (the length from elbow to the tip of the middle finger), yard (length from the chin to the tip of the middle finger), fathom (length between the two arms spread out), foot, and pace (distance between the two feet when spread out for walking), etc.
They even formed some measurement norms like 4 digits = 1 palm, 3 palms = 1 span, 2 spans = 1 cubit, 2 cubits = 1 yard, and 2 yards = 1 fathom.
These units were called natural units, but these measurements were not reliable as the measurement varied from person to person.
Over time, the measurement systems became more standardised to two types or systems:
Imperial measurements
These measure the length in inches, feet, yards, and miles. They are considered slightly older type of measurement, although some countries use this quite extensively (USA, etc.). The disadvantage with this system is the relative difficulty in converting the numbers from one measurement to the other, especially doing it mentally. For example, 1 mile = 1760 yards, how much would 5 miles be in yards?
SI units of measurements
Now the standard type of measurements for length is metres using the SI unit system. The main advantage of the SI units of measurement is the conversion factor in in power of 10.
Now we measure with standard measurement using measuring instruments in metres. There are different measuring instruments to find the length of an object. They are a ruler, 1-metre ruler, builder's tape, tape measure, trundle wheel and an odometer.
A ruler is used for shorter straight lengths, and it is generally marked in millimetres (mm) or centimetres (cm).
A builder's tape is about 10-12 metres long and is used for measuring longer straight lengths. It can be marked in mm, cm or in metres (m).
A dressmaker's tape measure is used for measuring material in straight lines as well as body parts that are not in straight lines. It is marked in mm, cm or occasionally in metres.
A trundle wheel is used to measure long distances (lengths) like a sporting field or playground. The wheel when rotated once covers one metre and makes a 'click' noise. It counts the distance in metres, and can also be used to get a finer measurement in centimetres, by finding the number of centimetres covered before the wheel 'clicks' to indicate a metre.
An odometer is used in vehicles, and measures very long distances. Typically you would use an odometer to find the distance between two cities, and the unit of measurement is in kilometres.
Reading various instruments is an important part of our everyday lives.

We arrived early in Venice this morning after our 9ish hour flight from Atlanta. This was our first time flying into Marco Polo since the opening of the new terminal. Passport control, luggage claim, and customs were all a breeze. Unfortunately, the terminal is now a decent walk (probably 5 minutes at a good pace) from the terminal. For us, it didn't matter. But it would be a hassle if you had a lot of luggage to haul or if your mobility was limited.
We took the public transport option (a sort of water bus). It's fairly cheap (13 euro / pp) but much more time consuming and more of a hassle than a zippy water taxi straight to the hotel (100 euro for the boat).
In this case, the Europa y Regina wasn't ready for us yet anyway. As such, the slow boat was fine. This is our 3rd stay at the EyR. It's a fairly swank property right on the Grand Canal. I used a couple thousand points to get a reduced rate of $99/per night.
Being summer, Venice is hot and humid today. Unfortunately, since we couldn't check in, we ended up wandering around to pass time until 3pm when we're able to get a room (it's 2 as I write this post).
We did have a chance to visit the Accademia museum and generally reabsorb the elegant decay that is Venezia (having spent so much time here previously, we can safely wander without a map). We also happened upon a random Damien Hirst show sponsored by a local gallery. It was small but decent. We finished with some gelato (yum!) before heading to the hotel for a nap.
We're now awake again and getting ready to head out for more sightseeing in the early evening (fewer crowds, more atmosphere) and to grab a bite to eat.
P.S. Important note to iPhone users (consider this a public service announcement): for some reason the folks at Apple like to 'auto-correct' the misspelling of the word 'gellato' to read as 'fellatio' — try that in the above sentence — not good. You've now been warned.
