Yep. Recruitment and definitely KAPE. But the same goes for red arrows for the RAF as far as I am aware. BBMF was a bit different though. Little justification for that I would think. Personally I'd bin the reds tomorrow purely on the basis that the manpower they use is needed elsewhere and it would be a reality check for most of them.
BBMF pilots are all operational pilots employed elsewhere.

The Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriting Association ("FAIR Plan") said its board of directors will meet next week to decide whether to file an appeal to challenge Insurance Commissioner Joseph G. Murphy's decision to reject a rate increase request.
The state-created FAIR Plan is the fall-back insurer for Massachusetts homeowners who can't obtain insurance in the voluntary market. It provides coverage for over 130,000 homeowners, including more than 40 percent of the residences on Cape Cod and the Islands and 12 percent statewide — which represents the largest share of the home insurance market in Massachusetts.
Commissioner Murphy on June 9 announced his decision to reject FAIR Plan's request to raise its statewide home insurance rates by an average of almost 7 percent. The commissioner said FAIR Plan failed to prove its case that values of hurricane losses from the hurricane model and the cost of reinsurance included in the rate filing fell within a range of reasonableness.
"We received the decision on June 9. We have 30 days from June 9 to file an appeal," FAIR Plan's general counsel Robert Tommasino said. If FAIR Plan were to decide to file an appeal, it would be with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, the state's highest court.
But Tommasino said overturning the commissioner's decision in the court would be difficult. FAIR Plan would probably file another rate request next year when the state has a new governor and administration. Incumbent Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick is not seeking a third term, and the election for the state's next governor will take place on Nov. 4.
"We are planning to have a board of directors' meeting in order to address this issue and whether or not to appeal, and we are having that meeting late next week," Tommasino said. "An appeal would not preclude a filing next year."
"Currently, under this regulatory environment in which we have been finding ourselves for the last several years, the likelihood of successfully overcoming the objections of the commissioner of insurance to us are highly unlikely, no matter what we do," he said.
In an appeals process, the court would consider whether or not the decision and the rationale of the insurance commissioner as set forth in his opinion were arbitrary and capricious — which is the standard that would have to be met for reversing the decision. "It's a very high standard to overcome by us," Tommasino said.
"So one of the reasons why we may not do it [file the appeal] is because even though we feel we have a better position, a better position doesn't mean that the commissioner's ruling somehow violated the arbitrary and capricious standard."
Commenting on how FAIR Plan compares to the voluntary market in rates, Tommasino said that on Cape Cod and the Islands — where FAIR Plan has its biggest market share — its premium is substantially lower compared to the voluntary market. And in other territories or geographic regions in the state, FAIR Plan is comparable to the voluntary market, he said.
"In some instances, we are the lowest but not so dramatically lower as we are on the Cape and the Islands," he said. "And in some cases we are slightly higher. But there is no place where we have dramatically higher premiums."
The last time FAIR Plan received a statewide rate increase was in 2006 when Mitt Romney was serving as the governor. That time, the approved rate increase was in the 12-to-13 percent range on average, Tommasino said. Largest increases, including those in Cape Cod and other coastal territories like New Bedford, were capped at 25 percent, while other territories had slight decreases or no increases.
Tommasino said that since the 2006 rate increase, three rate request filings have been rejected. A filing in 2007 was rejected in 2008. In 2009, FAIR Plan sought an average rate increase of 1-to-2 percent, with some territories getting increases and some getting decreases. And with the attorney general, it worked out a resolution that had a slight overall decrease of less than 1 percent, but with more balanced, fairer rates for each territory — with some territories getting 10 percent decreases and some getting 5 percent increases, for example, to reflect a more actuarially sound rate. Additionally, another filing in 2011 was rejected in 2012.
Hurricane Model
Under the current circumstances, Tommasino said, "I would suggest that when it comes to hurricane models, the position — with respect to our filing anyway — is that unless there is a hurricane in Massachusetts, we are not going to be able to secure a rate change," he said, "because hurricane models, as applied to Massachusetts under this current regulatory administration environment, are not going to be found to be valid for Massachusetts — even though this AIR hurricane model is internationally known and has great credibility internationally from insurers, rating agencies, governments."
On the reinsurance side, Tommasino said the commissioner wants FAIR Plan to be able to determine why the amount of profit the reinsurers are receiving on a particular program is reasonable. "We have 50 reinsurers. We would have to try to divine what their profit loads are, not just in profit they build into their rates," he said. "They aren't all public companies. They won't all disclose that."

The growing number of genotyped populations, the advent of high-throughput phenotyping techniques and the development of GWAS analysis software has rapidly accelerated the number of GWAS experimental results. Candidate gene discovery from these results files is often tedious, involving many manual steps searching for genes in windows around a significant SNP. This problem rapidly becomes more complex when an analyst wishes to compare multiple GWAS studies for pleiotropic or environment specific effects. To this end, we have developed a fast and intuitive interactive browser for the viewing of GWAS results with a focus on an ability to compare results across multiple traits or experiments. The software can easily be run on a desktop computer with software that bioinformaticians are likely already familiar with. Additionally, the software can be hosted or embedded on a server for easy access by anyone with a modern web browser.

Nicest Jenkin Rob Cheatham has been writing so much new material that he needed to start a second band, and pronto – Nun-chucks is being rushed out the door before even settling on a name, and might soon become 'Gun-chucks.' And what exactly does that mean, Rob?
picture a ninja-nun wearing chuck taylors and wielding nun-chucks where one side of each is the barrel of a gun
Anyway, Cheatham says the new outfit sounds "like Ryan Adams on Drugs." He doesn't say exactly which drugs, but obviously they're pretty strong.

1. I generally prefer TV over movies when it comes to storytelling and character development.
2. There are few movies as awful as the Highlander movies.
3. The writing on the Highlander series was better.
4. Lambert is a pretty poor actor.
5. Paul is a bit better.
6. Duncan was more likeable.
So yeah... Duncan.
But I remember having the opposite opinion back in the day because I thought Paul was too much of a "pretty boy."

Mr. Edison's Christmas Classic
Christmas Carols, Hymns & Stories
Includes Informative booklet notes by Larry Tedder of the American Sound Archive
Of all things Christmas, nothing is more traditional than the singing of carols and songs. Songs that capture in lyrics and in music the many traditions that we have at this joyous Season: the birth of the Christ child, the Christmas tree, the opening of gifts, sleigh rides, and holiday get-togethers with family and friends.
On October 30, 1889 banjoist Will Lyle made history by recording "Jingle Bells" – the very first Christmas record. Although no known copies of this recording survive, one of the earliest vocal examples of "Jingle Bells" does survive on an Edison brown wax cylinder entitled, "The Sleigh Ride Party". It was made a decade after Lyle's recording, and remained in the Edison Catalog for a number of years. The songs and monologues featured here are taken from the original Edison test pressings, and capture the essence of the Christmas spirit as it was in the opening two decades of the 20th Century.

This cake is similar to a very decadent banana bread with the addition of rich caramel flavor. The texture is wonderfully moist- not quite cake, and not quite pudding. It's already done cooking when the center springs back to the touch. Serve while still warm with vanilla ice cream.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine brown sugar and 2 teaspoons flour; set aside.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine 1 1/3 cups flour and next 7 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir with a wire whisk. Make a well in center of mixture. Combine banana and next 3 ingredients; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
Spoon batter into an 8-inch square baking pan; sprinkle with brown sugar mixture.
Pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over batter (do not stir). Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until pudding is bubbly and cake springs back when lightly touched in center. Serve warm. Divide onto individual serving dishes and top with ice cream.

Mary Katrantzou Designing a Wedding Dress
We're Beyond Excited This Designer Is Trying Bridal!
We're Beyond Excited This Designer Is Trying Bridal!
A very good reason you might want to consider working on your friendship with any budding designers? The chance that she'd offer up her services when you get engaged and start searching for the perfect dress. Such was the case for Mary Katrantzou, who created a stunning custom gown for friend Carolina Gonzalez-Bunster out of 120 meters of chiffon. The designer's typically known for her bold and busy prints, but for bridal, all white was in the cards. The resulting piece focuses on movement, with a skirt that looks ready to dance for hours and a yoke neck that's simple and sophisticated, yet original. For more photos of the gown up close, plus the designer hanging with her very lucky friend, keep scrolling.

How to Begin Your First Row of Shingles on Roofing
If you're just starting out on a roofing project, installing the first row correctly is important. An incorrect installation of the first course can lead to water leakage or uneven shingling, and it can affect the appearance of the rest of the rows that you will install. For typical asphalt shingles, using a starter strip and roofing cement can help waterproof your roof, and snapping a chalk line can help keep the shingles aligned correctly.
Step 1
Apply roofing cement to the area above the eaves with the broom-handled brush.
Step 2
Press the starter strip down so that it adheres to the roofing cement. The starter strip should run the length of the roof.
Step 3
Hammer two rows of galvanized roofing nails across the starter strip to hold it in place. Each nail should be about a foot from the next nail in the row.
Step 4
Measure the height of the shingle with a tape measure, and put a mark at the corresponding height on both edges of the roof. Then snap a chalk line to create a guide that will keep your first row of shingles aligned well. To do this, pull out the string of the chalk line, and hold it tight at each mark. Then lift the center of the string and let it snap back into position. This will leave a horizontal chalk line at the upper section of the row of shingles.
Step 5
Cut several inches off the end of the first shingle with shears so that the shingle joints do not line up with the joints on the starter strip.
Step 6
Use the chalk line to position the first shingle at the bottom corner of the roof, making sure that it overhangs slightly, if desired. Keep the cut portion of the shingle to finish off the first row, if needed.
Step 7
Use the number and positioning of nails listed in the shingle bundle to hammer in the shingle.
Step 8
Repeat with the rest of the shingles in the row, using the cut piece of shingle at the end of the row if necessary.
Things You Will Need
- Roofing cement
- Broom-handled brush
- Starter strip
- Hammer
- Galvanized roofing nails
- Tape measure
- Chalk line
- Shears
- If you do not have a starter strip, you can cut the tabs off the shingles and install them upside down at the base of the roof instead. Either of these techniques should provide a watertight application.
- Do not install shingles on a rainy or windy day.
- Do not install shingles yourself on a roof with a steep slope, unless you are experienced in doing so.

text: Privacy & Security Yahoo hack of 1 billion accounts is biggest data breach ever Alex Radu @alextradu Published: December 15th, 2016Just a few months after announcing that in 2014 500 million accounts were hacked, Yahoo Inc. is at it again, disclosing this week that in 2013 one billion accounts were hacked in the largest data breach recorded in history.Yahoo believes that this breach is separate from the breach reported back in September, and as of now, the company hasn't be able to determine how the data from the one billion accounts was stolen. The company is notifying the account holders who have been affected, and those users will be required to change their passwords.Stolen user information from the accounts affected could include names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (using MD5), and encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers.On the bright side – Yahoo's internal investigation believes that payment card data or bank account information was not stolen from these accounts, as it is not stored on the same system.The company was made aware of the hack by law enforcement in November, and is investigating "the creation of forged cookies that could allow an intruder to access users' accounts without a password." Related Stories Yahoo's colossal security failures: Top 7 hilariously incompetent responses Should Verizon get a discount on Yahoo? Bob Lord, Yahoo's chief information security officer, wrote in a post announcing the hack that, "we believe an unauthorized third party accessed our proprietary code to learn how to forge cookies. The outside forensic experts have identified user accounts for which they believe forged cookies where taken or used."Yahoo is taking steps to secure the affected accounts. On top of requiring users to change their passwords, Yahoo has invalidated unencrypted security questions and answers, invalidated the forged cookies, and hardened its systems to secure them against similar attacks.Next steps for affected users are simple, says David Senf, vice-president of infrastructure solutions group at analyst firm IDC Canada. Reset your password and start using good habits when creating passwords on other sites."If you have or had a Yahoo email account and use the same login password to access other email and online accounts, change them all. Changing and updating passwords, and not recycling them, are good practices in any event," he writes in an email. "Moreover, try to select very different security challenge and response questions when setting up an account online. These are the sorts of questions that ask you where you first went to school or what the name of your first pet was."Though the data has been breached for years, it's very possible Yahoo account holders may find themselves the victims of a ransomware style attack that locks them out of their own accounts – if it hasn't happened already, Senf says."Because the full login credentials have been compromised, as the attacker I can change your password to lock you out of your account. Of course first I'll send you a message to let you know I will do it and how much to pay me to get your email back," he says.Whether or not these steps will be enough to restore confidence in the company after two recording-breaking data breaches is another matter entirely."For years I have been urging friends and family to migrate off of Yahoo email, mainly because the company appeared to fall far behind its peers in blocking spam and other email-based attacks – but also because of pseudo-security features (like secret questions) that tend to end up weakening the security of accounts," wrote Krebs on Security researcher, Brian Krebs, in a blog post after the news broke. Related Stories Why are data breaches still an Issue? Weekly Top 3 Highlights – Microsoft goes open source, AdultFriendFinder hack, Deloitte's Fast 50 Customer trust isn't the only problem heading Yahoo's way. After revealing the smaller breach of 500 million in September, six US senators sent the tech company a letter demanding exactly when the company had learned of the intrusion, finding it "unacceptable that millions of Americans' data may have been compromised for two years."Vermont senator Patrick Leahy has called for a hearing before a senate judiciary committee, which has yet to be scheduled.We could see additional fallout from the Verizon deal as well. The company initially purchased Yahoo for $4.8 billion USD, but has since sought a discount of $1 billion based on the numerous problems Yahoo has experienced since the deal was announced. This includes a report published in October revealing that Yahoo cooperated with the NSA to scan user emails for keywords."As we've said all along, we will evaluate the situation as Yahoo continues its investigation. We will review the impact of this new development before reaching any final conclusions," said a Verizon spokesperson regarding the latest Yahoo hack.

Dell is proclaiming that its forthcoming Precision M3800 Workstation will be the world's "thinnest and lightest" workstation notebook ever. After showing it off this week at the Siggraph 2013 conference, the company is teasing the new laptop on its website.
The Precision overhaul includes the latest Haswell (or fourth-generation Core) processors from Intel, as well as Nvidia's Quadro graphics (perhaps the new K6000 ). Just as important, especially to compete against the MacBook Pro, the M3800 will feature a 3,200x1,800 (QHD+) display, which beats the 2,880x1,800 resolution on the Retina display MacBook Pro if the M3800 uses a 15-inch screen.
That's possible, since the new Dell starts at just 4.5 pounds and is a mere 0.7 inches (18mm) thick. That matches the 15-inch MacBook Pro's size, but presumably since Apple doesn't call its top-of-the-line laptop a "workstation," Dell is promoting the M3800 as the world's champ in svelteness.
Unfortunately, precious little else is known about the M3800, including price and availability, other than a vague "later this year." Engadget reports that it will support up to 15GB of RAM and include 512GB SSD or 1TB hard drive options, but we'll have to wait and see if those rumors pan out.

Not only is this song dope it could've easily been Solange's theme song when she had her brawl with Jay-Z on the elevator this past May.
Most importantly it's featuring two of Baltimore's dopest rappers, TT The Artist and DDM. The production does not disappoint as well as the heavy hitter DJ Mighty Mark made sure to make it slap from beginning to end. Also, be sure to check out the Thunderbird Juicebox Remix and Normaling Remix.
I have to say when I listen to this track it makes me ready to smack every crazy dumb ass person that boards an elevator talking on the phone, standing in your personal space, or decides to coincidentally smash all the buttons on the elevator. Def take a minute to get hyped and check out this dope new single from TT and DDM from the DJ Mighty Mark camp.
So the next time you see some clown acting stupid on the elevator, just look at them and yell, "BITCH GET OFF MY ELEVATOR!"
S/O to Alex Fine who's personally one of my favorite illustrators, for the dope illustrated cover art for Elevator.

The Hydrax was a human-crewed spaceship from the 22nd century. After venturing through a CVE, it became a permanent fixture on the "vampire planet" in E-Space and was known as "the Tower".
Technology Edit
The Hydrax was equipped with a complex computer system. It had features such as scanners which could present views of a target. They were capable of seeing through surfaces like an x-ray machine. The ship had three scout ships, each with a steel bolt on top. (TV: State of Decay, PROSE: Lucifer Rising)
Crew Edit
When the Hydrax entered E-Space, the ship's primary crew consisted of Captain Miles Sharkey, Navigational Officer Lauren MacMillan and Science Officer Anthony O'Connor. All three were turned into vampires by the King Vampire in preparation for the Time of Arising. (TV: State of Decay) The ship had two hundred and forty-three crew members total, including engineer Ben O'Rourke. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising)
History Edit
The Hydrax was an exploration ship for InterSpace Incorporated. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising) In 2127, en route from Earth to Beta Two in the Perugellis sector, the Hydrax was drawn into a CVE and through into E-Space by the King Vampire. He placed it on the "vampire planet" and went into hiding beneath it.
The Hydrax became a castle. It stood upright for a thousand years and rock built up around it, making it appear that it was on a hill. The detached computer system was taken by rebels. Kalmar got it working and used its scanner function to observe the Hydrax and the surrounding area.
The Fourth Doctor fired off one of the scout ships and used its descent to impale the King Vampire's heart with its steel frontage — i.e. making the craft a huge stake. The King Vampire's death resulted in the deaths of the former crew, whose lives were dependent on him. (TV: State of Decay)
Behind the scenes Edit
Design Edit
The Hydrax designs were drawn up by Christine Ruscoe. The original concept showed a greater link between the ships various sections. The design of the Hydrax's exterior was inspired by Mont-Saint-Michel as Ruscoe believed that it looked like a spaceship.
Once this was decided upon, the period design had to be chosen. Ruscoe looked into Romanesque and medieval castles, and features from both found their way into the final design. These designs were intended to be pre-gothic to give a greater feeling of age.
Designs for the interior came from the BBC library. Ruscoe found a previously produced decorative door and used it as part of the throne room set.[1]

Gender, ethnicity and other biases: what are yours?
Have you ever stopped to consider the impact of other people's unconscious biases on the way they view you? How about your own biases? These stereotypes determine the way you think and react, behaving as a shorthand working deep within your brain, whether you like it or not. We all have biases, even if we fervently believe that prejudice is wrong (Henneman, 2014). As a British Asian woman working as an executive advisor in the corporate world – mostly white and male, it's easy for me to think of this as the norm and forget about it. But the potential impact of unconscious bias on brain performance is huge. Here are five surprising facts:
Internal beliefs work in tandem with external biases
Say I had applied for a job interview in science, technology, mathematics or engineering (STEM) and just before the interview someone asked me where in India my parents were from. I would be more likely to over-perform relative to my ability because the question triggers a mutual recognition of a stereotype that Asian people are good at these subjects. Similarly, my interviewer, registering this stereotype at a subconscious level, might be more likely to view my performance in a positive light, because they have already decided I'm a 'strong candidate.' Such stereotypes exist in the world, and are wired into our unconscious as biases. In contrast, however, if someone were to ask me about my dress, I may be more likely to underperform in that interview relative to my own ability because my unconscious brain would register the stereotype that women aren't as good at STEM subjects as men. Evidence of such bias at work isn't hard to find. A Yale University study found that both male and female scientists were more likely to hire men, pay them more, and view them as more competent than women when profiles were drawn up of candidates who had been assigned gender randomly.
There is a stereotype spectrum
When I began to look into it, I realized how widespread and varied human biases are. There are 150 identified stereotypes that underpin our biases, and the shades and nuances of each of these vary according to our individual life experience and belief systems. We all hold biases that relate to social status, wealth, education, political affiliation and even physical attractiveness. These run alongside the more obvious biases that exist around gender, ethnicity and age.
Because I am aware of these biases and the way they work on us all, I can protect myself from being influenced by external comments, although I can't prevent other people from reacting to me based on their unconscious biases. I first became interested in this when I changed career and worried that people would think I was too young and inexperienced to be an executive coach at CE level.
Women are biased against themselves
You may have heard about the extensively quoted report by Hewlett Packard, when women and men see the same job spec, women will tend only to apply if they meet 100% of the criteria. For men, those who meet only 60% will apply for the same job. Much has been written about this, but it's a great example of us making our own 'logic' - telling ourselves the 'truth' about a situation, without questioning the thought process that goes into this. The standard male response comes from a place of abundance and possibility. The man is not putting extra obstacles in his way. His unconscious bias works in his favor: the belief that "I've got as good a chance as anyone to get this job…" whilst the female candidate rules herself out of the running before the race has started, deciding "I don't have what it takes."
When I work with female clients, I encourage them to develop a greater awareness of their internal saboteurs - the pervasive, illogical subconscious thoughts that interfere with their ability to make decisions in their best interests. This isn't to say that men don't have similar internal battles going on, but research shows that they are more likely to override them.
Other examples of unconscious gender bias are equally insidious. Men who have a wife who stays at home are less likely to promote women in the workplace than men who have a wife with a high-powered job or a similar job to them. Women and men alike even prefer to laugh at men rather than women.
You zone out contradictions to confirm what you already think
For all of us, a unique cocktail of unconscious bias is at work beneath the surface every time we are faced with a new situation. Your brain attempts to devise the best response by measuring the present situation against the way you have thought about and behaved in similar situations before. To guide this process, emotional tagging acts like a fluorescent highlighter, telling you which bits of past (and present) information to pay attention to. This may well include 'zoning out' information about the present situation that doesn't comply with what you already believe to be true, otherwise known as confirmation bias. The only way to combat this is to build your awareness of this selective filtering.
Catching yourself at it is the key to change
Such awareness takes work and persistence to achieve. There's no way to avoid your brain seeking out these emotional tags, and the emotional element of decision making is key. But I encourage my clients to keep a skeptical eye on their 'pattern recognition' system, using their logical thinking to challenge emotional tagging, sense-checking any inferences they may make based on biases rather than facts.
Try to raise from non-conscious to conscious any biases that may be holding you back or affecting your interactions at work or in the way you are raising your family. Once it's conscious you are far more likely to be able to do something about it, if you have the desire to.

As a young child of approximately 2 ½ years, my client had undergone open-heart surgery to repair a faulty valve. Now in his 50s and a therapist by profession, he recently remembered an out-of-body experience related to his surgery while under hypnosis. Among other things, he remembered that while the surgeons were performing the procedure, a ring of angels had encircled his heart. They communicated with him telepathically, explaining that the surgery was necessary in order to purify his heart because he had "done some bad things" in a past life. This gentleman told me he was certain he had been a Viking warrior in one or more past lives and had accrued some negative karma as a result, possibly by stabbing his enemies through the heart.
My client's ancestral DNA test revealed that he was descended from the haplogroup Rib, associated with the Scandinavian tribe of Sigurd, through his paternal line. Furthermore, his Astrocartography map revealed an astonishing 12 planetary lines crossing chaotically in the vicinity of Northern Sweden, including all of his Mars lines, associated with the warrior archetype. These lines radiated outward to all the various regions occupied by the Vikings during their long period of conquest. Even more astonishing, his father's Astrocartography map revealed the same dense concentration of tangled planetary lines crossing in Northern Sweden.
When I looked at my client's birth chart, I was amazed to see that his Mars was located at 2 degrees of Capricorn (ruled by Saturn, the planet of karma) in the 2nd house, very near its cusp, which in developmental terms, correlates to the approximate age of 2 ½ years! This very karmic Mars placement formed one corner of a Grand Trine (or triangle) with the benefic planets Jupiter, at the top of the chart, and Venus, indicating the angelic blessings and love that were visited upon this man as a young boy and, no doubt, throughout his life, thereafter, in order to purify and protect his heart. Synchronistically, the Sabian Symbol for my client's Mars placement read:
Three Rose Windows in a Gothic Church, One Damaged by War.

Today it is called the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It existed between Léopold II's formal transfer of his personal control to Belgium on 15 November 1908, and Congolese independence on 30 June 1960.[3]

Negative Capability
Dr. Foster Mobley // Business, Wisdom Leading
What was it that made William Shakespeare the greatest writer of all time? According to the great poet John Keats, it was what Keats called "negative capability." That's the capacity to hold yourself in balance between the two poles of a situation without imposing your will in order to force a resolution. Doing so allows ambiguities to fully play out and opens everyone up to new levels of understanding. Keats described this quality as "when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason."
I devote much of my time and effort helping leaders build capabilities, yet this one is really tough. In our culture, we're not good at negative capability. We rush to judgment, facts be damned, and are eager to find solutions even if no good ones exist. Humans don't tolerate ambiguity and uncertainty well, yet it's the tension between uncertainty and resolution that makes our greatest drama, fiction and music.
In organizations, negative capability empowers leaders to approach problems and conflicts without rushing to one side or the other. It lets them "slow down the game" and allow all factors in a situation to become apparent before a solution is even contemplated. Negative capability is the purview of wise, calm, and controlled. It's a quality we could all do with more of.
How might building "negative capability" improve how you lead your team and yourself?

Hirwaun Common
View all content for Hirwaun Common
Visited 10.8.13
'Be careful what you wish for – it may come true' as someone one said.
Well, this was a point in case.
A couple of days ago I was up in these parts visiting the Cairns around Llyn Fawr. I was hoping to also visit the Cairns on Hirwaun Common but run out of time.
'Wish I had more time, don't know when I will be up here again?' thought I.
Two days later here I am.
Following a less than successful visit the Brecon Beacons mountain centre (on the grounds I had left my money home and I couldn't buy any food, drink or (most importantly) ice creams by card as they 'don't get a signal' we headed home with two unhappy children, one unhappy driver (no latte for Karen) and me hoping for a quick look for the Cairns I missed a couple of days ago.
Somewhat reluctantly Karen agreed to my request and we soon pulled into the viewpoint described previously. The burger/ice cream van was still there but this only made things worse as he was sure not to take cards! Sophie had thankfully fallen asleep and Dafydd (still in a strop following the lack of ice cream) decided to stay in the car and not come with me – something I was later very thankful for.
'I won't be long' I optimistically said as I headed down the road towards the common.
'I won't need my boots as it will only be an easy walk across the common' I added.
How wrong could I be?
Hoping over rust field gate I followed the edge of the trees as this would give me the most direct route to the Cairn marked on my O/S map (Craig-Y-Bwlch). I soon discovered why even the sheep were keeping out of this part of the common!
Despite it being a dry summer and the last couple of weeks in particular had been good weather the ground became more and more boggy the further I walked. I could see that normally this field would be little more than a swamp. The grass was growing on top of 'mounds' which stood about a foot higher than the floor level – no doubt this would normally be a foot of water. Still, not too bad, even if my trainers were starting to take a bit of a battering and the ground got wetter and muddier.
SPLAT! – my right leg sunk up to my knee in blackish 'bog water' and down I fell – side-on into said 'bog water'. My notes came out of my pocket and floated on the foul smelling water. My trainer nearly came off as I regained my feet. I was covered.
'Good grief' I said to myself (or words to that affect), may as well carry on now.
Onwards I went trying to get to the higher ground where the sheep were. (Who says sheep are daft? – they have more sense than me!). On I trudged, the going getting worse and worse. At times I could barely make any headway. Down again I fell. I was so glad Dafydd stayed in the car. There was no way he could have walked through this and there was no way I could have carried him. This was without doubt the worst walk to any 'old stone' site I had ever had the misfortune to endure.
Eventually I made my way to the barbed wire fence and was much relieved to get over it and onto the higher (and much drier) ground. The sheep soon scattered.
By now I was tired, wet, muddy and smelly. I looked for where I thought the Cairn was most likely to be and as luck would have it I chose right.
(Funnily enough on my recent trip to Scotland there were a few occasions when I headed for where I thought a Cairn should be and came up trumps ever time – I must be getting better at this!)
The Cairn is a good one. Only low with nearly all the stones gone but it does have most of the capstone in situ – something you don't often see. The section of missing capstone is possible the large flat stone dumped on the side of the Cairn? I laid flat on the (dry) grass and peered in under the large grass covered capstone. Nothing to see in the gloom other than some animal droppings. Luckily the culprit wasn't at home or I am sure we would have both had a fright!
There are cracking views to be had towards the Brecon Beacons and this is a good final resting place. The only thing spoiling it is the large open-cast colliery immediately below – creating a large 'wound' into the landscape. The yellow JCBs and lorries were scuttling about.
At least one day they will all be gone and the hillside will 'heal' itself.
I didn't look specifically for the other two Cairns recorded as they did not appear on my O/S map. There was one low 'mound' which could have been one of them but there was nothing else obviously 'Cairn like'.
On my return to the car I decided it would be best to go in a loop, staying on the higher, drier ground, and not the more direct route I had first taken. This proved to be a much better option and although I did have to negotiate one area of bogy ground it was nowhere near as bad as the way I had come – although there was still one barbed wire fence to get over.
As I trudged back to the car Karen's initial look of annoyance (I had been a lot longer than expected) changed into a big grin as she saw the state of me. Laughter could be heard from the couple in the car I passed. I didn't say a word. I took my trainers and socks off and put them in the bin – queue more laughter from said couple. I open Karen's door, 'you look like you s**t yourself' she helpingly remarked. Quite.
Despite my misfortunes this Cairn is certainly worth taking the effort to visit. As I said it's not often you see a capstone in situ and the views are excellent.
Access advice:
Park in the viewpoint car park for Llyn Fawr. Carefully walk north along the busy road (A4061) until you reach the sharp bend to the left. On the right hand side you will see an old rusty field gate with a low dry stone wall to the left of it. Follow the 'track' down and cross over the stream. Keep to the left hand side of the fields which is near the cliff face and the driest ground. Keep going and the Cairn will come into view situated on a small high point. DO NOT attempt the more direct route near the trees unless you are some sort of masochist!

I'm looking forward to this one!
I thought I'd probably walk up from Aberdare - the walk from Treherbert station to the viewpoint is nice, but I'd like some different views. The Aberdare line is the next one I hope to make use of, once I've finished exploring the lower reaches of Rhondda Fawr line.

Wellies may be an idea?!
The Cairn itself is worth the effort.
Hopefully you will be able to confirm the other two Cairns as well.
Good luck!

That bad? I don't like wellies for any distance, they end up causing blisters (Postie and I did wear wellies for the Dyffryn Mymbyr circle visit). It would be likely to be a 8-10 mile round trip from Aberdare, there are some other cairns to the south as well.

I would'ny advise wearing wellies for that long but seriously the area of land next to the trees is that bad. They probably use it for training for the World Bog Snorkling Championships! ;-)

How to choose a web hosting service to host your forum?
Choosing the right web hosting company to host a forum could a very frustrating experience. If you look at the ads, most hosting providers seems to be much suitable for your requirements. However, there are many cases where the servers providing a great service, just to attract glances - selling too many shared servers, providing a low quality service, not responding promptly to issues, etc.
These Experiences lead to new research by a new web hosting companies. The best way to avoid this mishap is to get the right information and know the basics of web hosting. This Web Hosting Guide will try to take you on a journey through the steps, to make it easier for you to choose a web hosting service to host your own forum.
Basics of Web Hosting:
Since the business world is becoming more dependent on Internet, choosing a web hosting service for business has become very much important. A bad choice can ruin your business completely. You may have to choose a good web hosting for various purposes, such as to create a website for online business, make a personal page, or share data with all employees worldwide. Whatever the reason, your choice will be critical. One should not focus only on price, but also the things like quality of service and network connectivity should also be considered.
Now, that you have some idea about the basics, can we move to the strategies and methods you can use to find the best and reliable hosting company for your requirements.
Even with a list of some best web hosting companies, you may still need answers to a number of questions, so you can make the final decision. These questions will be the related mostly to your own requirements like amount of web space and bandwidth you will need for the expansion of your business.
For hosting a forum, there is a simple rule. Usually a forum requires a bandwidth of about 50 Gb per month and about 10 GB of storage space as the users will keep increasing. If you have a forum where users discuss software problems, probably you will not need much disk space, since it uses only a limited number of images. Dramatically, the situation changes if the question is a forum where users discuss the latest models of cars. In this, the images will consume plenty of web space and your requirements will increase much. Generally, a web hosting company will guide you based on your needs, and you can choose a hosting plan in accordance with them.
Stability is the Key:
Moving a website from one server to another can be a nightmare, leading to periods often, when the website is out of service, loss of data and a number of other issues, that may prove to be harmful to your business. Therefore, stability should be one of the major criterion's, when choosing a web hosting provider.
So try to find a well established web hosting company. Be sure to check out the context and talk to existing customers to see if they are satisfied with the service provided. If in doubt, it's not risk. The risk is not worth the effort you can save on the search.
Price Factor:
This is definitely the deciding factor for most of the beginners. How much money will need to pay depends on your disk space and bandwidth requirements. The web hosting is usually sold in packages based on a combination of these three options:
- Shared Hosting
- Dedicated Hosting
- VPS Hosting
You must make the decision based on your budget and the size of the forum.
Details about the above options:
Shared Hosting – Shared hosting is a solution where a server is shared by thousands of websites. This is the cheapest option if the budget is the main concern. However, performance may suffer, since many sites will compete for server resources continuously. This site may result in a slow-running and other issues. Also, you get a limited access to the server.
Dedicated Hosting – Having a dedicated server on the other hand gives you the best performance at a high cost. Since, there is only one site on the server, there is no sharing of resources by other sites. A dedicated hosting requires to have a good technical and server management knowledge to manage the server. Alternatively, you can opt for a managed hosting solution and ask the web hosting provider to manage the server for you and get rid of the server management tasks.
Virtual Private Servers (VPS) – This solution is a combination of the two different solutions mentioned above. Here you get your own dedicated resources so that you don't have to compete for them continuously. This options offers you the advantage of both, low-cost and complete control and flexibility over the virtual private server.
Service Factor:
This is another decisive factor that helps in finding out the best web hosting company for hosting your forum. Good service and 24/7 technical support forms the backbone of hosting service. Since, large number of customer base is a good indicator of the stability and quality of web hosting provider, you can safely choose them.
If your web hosting provider has too many customers, the service for your forum may become slow due to the competition for resources on the server. Ensures to test the skills of the company's technical support team. Take followup of existing customers and ask them about reliability of the provider.
- How quickly they provider solutions to issues occurred?
- How good are the solutions provided?
- Are the technicians always available on the phone?
- How much is the response time for replying the tickets?
- Do they make service a priority or have a tendency to apologize?
Answers to the above questions will give you a good idea, which provider is best for your requirements.
Finding a good web hosting company could be a daunting task, however the above guide will help you considerably. Remember one thing – choosing a hosting company is like getting married. Divorce is a complicated subject for which it is best not to have it! You business completely depends on them. Make your final decision only after weighing all the pros and cons.

GlaxoSmithKline CEO Andrew Witty has high hopes for an experimental pill his company is developing for anemia, as the drug could offer an oral alternative to injected EPO therapies. Japanese drugmaker Astellas and other outfits stand to gain from similar pills in development. Yet the potential blockbuster pills offer plenty of potential for abuse too, Reuters reports.
The oral drugs mimic the effect of high altitudes on the body to spur red blood cell production and are easily swallowed as opposed to injected EPO treatments, which have already been implicated in scandals involving the disgraced cycling champion Lance Armstrong and others. The pills could entice cheating athletes as well. Glaxo ($GSK) and Astellas have pledged to do their part in preventing abuse of their oral agents, Reuters reported, and GSK last year informed the World Anti-Doping Agency that the company has a developmental drug that could boost red blood cell production.
For the industry, however, the doping issue might be a sideshow for what could be a major new class of treatments for anemia and other illnesses. Witty has highlighted Glaxo's red blood cell-boosting pill, codenamed GSK 1278863, as one of the top experimental contenders in the London-based drugmaker's pipeline. And the company has begun Phase II testing of the pill, which evolved from discovery of prolyl hydroxylase enzymes in the University of Oxford lab of Peter Ratcliffe.
"The potential advantage over EPO is that these drugs are pills and they also do other things that support the action of EPO, including facilitating the absorption of iron," Ratcliffe said, as quoted by the news wire. "It could be an important new area of medicine, which is exciting to explore."
Sales of EPO injections have dropped over concerns about the side effects of such treatments, though the biotech giant Amgen ($AMGN) maintains multibillion-dollar franchise with the treatments Epogen and Aranesp. And the safety of the oral alternatives is crucial to their success on the market. Astellas and its partner FibroGen last year began a late-stage study of their contender called ASP1517 to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Mike Allen, head of urology and nephrology at Astellas, told Reuters that the candidate has so far shown less risk of raising blood pressure than EPO injections. Yet any previous results will have to stand up to the Phase III testing under way.

Commercial Grade Super Slim/ Flush Adjustable Tilt Plasma, LCD, LED TV Wall mount with Security Bar
SolidMOUNTS universal Tilt UT-600 wall mounts will work with most Flat panel screens from 37" to 70". The super Flush Tilt design is easy to install and remove.
The new UT-600 manufactured from the highest quality extra heavy Guage steel is your new solution for a mounting a flat screen TV on your wall. Easy to install and compatible with over 95% of current screens by major manufacturers.
All necessary hardware is included for different wall types. Horizontal and vertical position adjustments allow perfect positioning of the screen regardless of the distance of wall studs.
Compatibility: This universal wall-mount bracket is designed to fit flat-panel plasma and LCD/ LED screens from 37" to 75". The TV can have a maximum weight of 175 pounds. Supports up to 29" (750mm) x 19.5" (500mm) TV Hole pattern.
This mounts will not support Older Pioneer 60" Elite or older panasonic 65" Plasma TV or older Tv units which need Vesa 800 support.
Construction: The bracket is constructed of extra heavy-gauge steel (2.5 mm or 11 Gauge). Most other mounts today are only half the thickness steel.
Mounting: The wall plate must be anchored directly to wall studs using the supplied lag bolts. The slots in the wall plate can accommodate a variety of stud spacing, allowing you to easily mount the TV to wall studs that are 16" or 24" on center. Once the wall plate is anchored to the wall studs and the TV rails (with the TV attached) are hooked onto the wall plate, the TV can slide left to right, allowing you to center the TV on the wall. After the TV is secured, it will be held approximately 1.6" from the wall.
Note: Each TV rail has a top and bottom vertical slot. Each rail can accommodate vertical hole spacing (on the back of the TV) from 6-3/4" to 19-1/2".
Since the TV rails can slide on the wall plate, the horizontal hole spacing on the back of the TV can be up to 29".
