It was a weekend that gave us 25 goals in 10 games, 1 scoreless draw, a sublime hat trick and both divisions have all but confirmed new champions. Cork City had no game so it was a chance for Dundalk to continue the pressure on the leaders. The champions had won 5 straight league games scoring 16 goals and conceding none but came unstuck at home to Shamrock Rovers on Sunday thanks to a mistake by Brian Gartland. The 1-0 defeat leaves Stephen Kenny's men 15 points behind Cork and have also played 2 games more.
That win for Shamrock Rovers moved them into 3rd but only until last night as Derry City scored 2 late goals to win the derby against Finn Harps. It was an excellent weekend for the Candystripes as they travelled to Dublin on Friday where they got all 3 points at Dalymount Park. It was the first time since March that Derry managed back to back wins in the league and its come at the right time.
Bray Wanderers grip on 3rd has slipped away as they were well beaten on Friday night by a resurgent St Pats and have now dropped to 5th. Harry Kenny's excellent job on the pitch is been undone by those off it and it doesn't like it will become any easier as the players still await confirmation of who is playing their wages. Limerick continue to sit in mid table as they couldn't find a way past Sligo at Markets Field. Neil McDonald hasn't exactly set the town alight since his appointment as last year's 1st division champions have won just 1 of their last 5 league games and could be pulled into the relegation battle.
Having gone 4 games unbeaten, Bohemians were on the rise but they have now lost their last 3 matches and are just 4 points from the drop zone. Another defeat for Keith Long this weekend against rivals Shamrock Rovers and results going against them in the other games, will have the pressure cooker turned up on him, so a result is a must on Friday night.
Galway impressively put basement side Drogheda United to the sword on Friday thanks to an outstanding hat trick from Gavin Holohan. The win put Galway up to 10th and just 1 point from safety. Sligo could only manage a point away to Limerick as they continue to struggle while St Pats 2nd win on the bounce has them out of the drop zone.
Waterford all but claimed the first division title as they crushed injury stricken Cobh Ramblers 4-0 at the RSC. The win moves them 9 points clear with 7 games to play and its highly unlikely they will lose 3 games over the remainder of the season. UCD leaped frogged Cobh into 2nd as they also scored 4 times in a straightforward win over Athlone.
Since the appointment of Roddy Collins, Athlone have failed to win, which is a run of 10 games. In 21 games, they have conceded 53 goals, which is the highest of all 20 league of Ireland teams. Longford grabbed all 3 points away to Wexford which was only their 2nd away win of the season. Cabinteely scored late into injury time to condemn Shelbourne to a 2nd straight defeat as Pat Devlin side moved into 5th place.
So, what have we learned this week?
Sligo slip further behind.
Gerard Lyttle hasn't exactly had the affect a new manger makes at a club and the former Cliftonville manager has picked up just 2 wins since his appointment. A run of 2 wins in 14 games is the reason why Sligo are sitting in 11th place and really fighting for their lives. Their most influential player Kieran Sadlier, has opted for pastures new as he moved to Cork City, so the pressure is now mounting on Lyttle to find quality elsewhere to guide them to safety.
The Bit O' Red have 10 draws this season, which is the same as Galway but their defence is their achilles heel as they have conceded 37 times (2nd highest) and have kept just 5 clean sheets. Some good news for Sligo fans is that their next 3 games are at home where they host Dundalk, St Pats and then Bray were the manager will be aiming for at least 4 points. Failure to get anything in these 3 games could see their premier division status taking away.
The Saints on the march.
The boo boys seem to have slipped away, the cracks have been filled and calls for 'manager out' have evaporated, for now. Having gone 8 games without a win and stuck in the bottom 3, St Pats were low on confidence and couldn't find a win. Manager Liam Buckley however, went shopping and secured the acquisition of Dutch defender Jordi Balk, Owen Garvan And Killian Brennan. All 3 players made their debut in the friendly win over Hearts as Buckley builds to avoid the drop.
Owen Garvan was sent off in his league debut against Cork but the difference Balk and Brennan have made to a side that couldn't control a game, has been massive. The 2013 league champions have won 2 games on the spin where they had to come from behind in both and against 2 of the top 5 sides. This weekend seen them punish Bray from start to finish as they played football with excellent confidence and hunger. Liam Buckley will know they are not by any means safe but their next 3 games see them face teams around them. They travel to Drogheda, then Sligo before hosting Finn Harps and the squad will know that 7 points from 9 will ease the pressure of the drop.
Big win for the Hoops.
Having been soundly beaten in Europe in mid-week, Shamrock Rovers faced a daunting opposition in Dundalk at Oriel Park on Sunday but rather surprisingly came away with a 1-0 win. It was the Hoops 3rd league win in their last 4 games as manager Stephen Bradley has eased early season pressure to make a fight for that 3rd spot. The Hoops are on a good run at the moment as they have lost just 3 of their last 11 league games and Bradley will be hoping that will continue for the remainder of the season.
Goals don't seem to be a problem for Rovers as they have only failed to score on 2 occasions this season but its their weak defensive line that could stop them getting a 3rd place finish. They have kept just 6 clean sheet this year and have had to rely on the eccentric Tomer Chencinski to save them including this weekend. It's a position the manager will look to strengthen before the transfer deadline next week and if he is to have any aspirations of a top 3 finish, he will need to. They host Bohemians this weekend before the big battle for 3rd against Derry City, 2 games that will certainly test this Rovers backline.
Cabinteely impressive season continues.
It's been by far their best season since becoming a league of Ireland club as they have surpassed their points tally and have more wins than previous years. Pat Devlin's side picked up another 3 points deep into stoppage time at home to Shelbourne on Friday in what was only their 2nd ever win over their opponents.
Kieran Marty Waters has been an excellent signing for Devlin and has found the target 9 times this season. The former Bray manager has also added to his attacking ranks with the signings of former Drogheda United player Gareth McCaffery and former UCD attacker Ryan Swan. With just 7 games to go and sitting on same number of points as 4th place Longford, there is no reason with some consistency that Cabinteely can claim an excellent a top 4 finish.

Paris, December 5, 2014
Q. – Vladimir Putin is laying into America and Europe, which, according to him, want to weaken and encircle Russia. He says he's got the military means to respond to enemies. Are we on a course of war or confrontation with Russia?
THE MINISTER – Clearly we're in a state of tension – unfortunately, I'd say, because as far as France is concerned we're very long-standing friends of Russia; that goes back, as you remember, to de Gaulle and even before him.
Q. – Napoleon…
THE MINISTER – But it's true that Russia has recently made gestures that can't be tolerated – the annexation of Crimea, for example –, and this creates a climate of tension. We've always applied firmness towards Russia and at the same time dialogue. But it takes several, or at least two, to talk. In any case, we're open to anything that might lead to an easing of tension.
Q. – Is it now a partner or an enemy of France?
THE MINISTER – No, it's a partner. A difficult partner.
Q. – Alexander Orlov, Putin's Ambassador to France, who was Thomas Sotto's guest earlier, is calling for reconciliation. Is an independent France ready for this?
THE MINISTER – France is of course independent, and France is always ready to have good relations with Russia. But in international affairs there are things that are unacceptable, including the behaviour shown on Crimea, and then the tension in the east [of Ukraine].
Nevertheless we have – although I'm being cautious – good news that I've been informed of. It appears there should be an agreement on 9 December for a comprehensive ceasefire between the separatists and the Ukrainian authorities. I hope this happens. But we want an easing of the tension, although we can't stand by and not react.
Q. – If the 9 December ceasefire works, does that mean an independent France will ease the sanctions that are weakening Russia's economy and pander to Russian nationalism?
THE MINISTER – We're not at that stage at all. An agreement has been signed, the Minsk agreement, which provides for a whole series of things that would really enable a lasting reduction in tension in Ukraine. It's this Minsk agreement that must be respected.
Q. – And is France ready for, as Orlov was asking earlier, gestures of reconciliation, [so as] not to isolate Putin and be Putin's enemy?
THE MINISTER – France has always been open, but at the same time you have to be extremely firm when there are attitudes that are unacceptable. (…)
Q. – Alexander Orlov was talking earlier about the Mistrals, about the Mistral that hasn't been delivered to Russia as agreed; he was saying Russia barely has patience for a few weeks before it demands compensation. (…) What's your reply to him?
THE MINISTER – The same as the French President's: namely that under the present conditions, consideration is suspended. If the conditions change… but that requires in particular the implementation of the Minsk agreement, which I was talking about earlier.
Q. – And the 9 December agreement – if there's a ceasefire on 9 December – is a positive factor.
THE MINISTER – It's a factor, but it's not sufficient./.

Sama Vritti breathing in yoga
There are so many yoga blogs about new year's intentions that I am not going to add to those this year, but would like to talk about how yoga can help us to provide a space to become more aware of ourselves, of our habits and habitual responses and behaviours. It is often only when we stop and pause that we can even notice what it is that might be beneficial for us to change or identify goals to work towards.
In yoga the key way that we do that is to encourage focus on the breath. This is what makes yoga more than just exercise and is one of the first things we learn.
One key practice to help focus in yoga is called "sama vritti". This means even or regulated breathing and is one of the most helpful practices to help ground ourselves in the present moment and to cultivate a sense of steadiness and ease in the postures.
This practice is helpful for beginners but is also a great practice to come back to re-connect with the breath and to apply to more challenging postures as well.
• Begin with your natural breath, noticing where you can feel it most in your body. You can begin to ask yourself questions "What is the texture of my breath?" "Does the inhale or exhale feel easier?" Try not to judge but just notice whatever is happening.
• Make sure you are breathing in and out through your nose. Slow your breath down without forcing anything until you find an even rhythm. Count how long your inhale is and then make your exhale the same length.
• Start to notice the journey of the breath – how it starts, travels and how each breath passes.
• You can then start to notice the slight pauses at the end of each inhale and exhale, where the breath "turns".
The next stage in a breathing practice in yoga is to emphasise these pauses but in sama vritti it is good to just notice them, they are also a way of anchoring your mind to the present moment.
You can gradually start to lengthen your breath as you become more experienced in your yoga practice. You can also notice how different postures cause the breath to fluctuate and come back to sama vritti in each asana.
Happy new year and happy practicing!

The concert proper, with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by John Storgårds, opened with Sibelius' stirring tome poem Finlandia, the majestic piece well suited to the Albert Hall. The next work in the concert was Sir Peter Maxwell Davies' Symphony No. 5. I was probably not as enthusiastic as I had been for his music in Tuesday's concert, though the piece wasn't bad; the regular wailing child somewhere in the distance didn't help. The remainder of this long first half was Bridge's Oration for cello and orchestra. The programme notes compared (and contrasted) this piece to Elgar's famous concerto: certainly it has a very different character, modernist, certainly anguished and perhaps even brutalist in places. I enjoyed it. Leonard Elschenbroich played with passion, and gave an encore of another unfamiliar composer, a movement from a Hindemith cello sonata.
In the second half we had the single work Sibelius' Symphony No. 2. I think I've heard this at the Proms before, sometime in the 1990s up in the gallery. It was worth hearing again, in the arena. Although Sibelius composed much of the work in Italy, the images it conjures are still of the North: beautiful, rugged, and with occasional sunshine.

FAQ: Why number 14?
A tribute to Johan Cruijff
I was 11 years old in 1974 and during the World Cup in West-Germany I was fascinated by the famous Dutch soccer player Johan Cruijff. He became my idol for life.
The Netherlands reached to the World Cup final for the 1st time in history, unfortunately we lost 1-2 against the home team.
With AFC Ajax Amsterdam Johan Cruijff won the Europe Cup 1 (now named Champions League) in 1971 (Ajax-Panathinaikos 2-0), 1972 (Ajax-Internazionale 2-0) and 1973 (Ajax-Juventus 1-0). He then transferred from Ajax to FC Barcelona.
He played 5 seasons in Barcelona untill 1978. Then in the USA for Los Angeles Aztecs and Washington Diplomats. Back to Spain at Levante (Valencia) and then he returned to Ajax for 2 magnificent seasons and ended his active carreer at Feyenoord Rotterdam in 1984.
After his active carreer Johan Cruijff became a succesfull coach at Ajax and FC Barcelona. He won many titles and also the 1st Europe Cup 1 ever for the famous Spanish club in 1992 (Barcelona-Sampdoria 1-0).
Johan Cruijff sadly passed away, aged 68, in 2016 because of lung cancer. Number 14 became even more special. I honoured him by making a fly curtain with his legendary number 14.
Then I got a 14Lbs Brunswick bowling ball with number 14 and I started this pool ball collection with number 14 balls only.
All pool balls are 57.2 cm in diameter. This next pool ball is one of my favorites!

Visit of the French Ambassador to Bhopal
H.E. Mr Alexandre Ziegler, Ambassador of France to India meets Hon'ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Kamal Nath and presides over the Closing ceremony of Indo-French Project MP Power Management Company Limited Distribution Network Performance Enhancement Solutions.
Bhopal - Madhya Pradesh, 5 July 2019
The Ambassador of France to India, H.E. Mr Alexandre Ziegler, today met the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Kamal Nath, during his daylong visit to Bhopal on 5th July 2019. The meeting focused on a number of projects being carried out in the state by French companies such as Lafarge and Bureau Veritas, academic and scientific cooperation, and cultural exchanges between Madhya Pradesh and France.
Ambassador Ziegler presided over the closing ceremony of the Indo-French Project MPPMCL on electricity distribution network enhancement solutions, led by French utility company EDF International Networks and Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Limited (MPPMCL). Financed by the French government, the project commenced in April 2018. Its aim is for EDF to draw up an adaptation plan to improve MPPMCL's electricity supply network (12 million consumers in Madhya Pradesh) with three priorities: reduction of power losses on Madhya Pradesh's electricity network, better integration of renewable energy in the grid, and improvement of grid operation through the use of an automated network control SCADA system.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Ziegler said: "Electricity grids are a key infrastructure for any country, as they are critical for energy security, access to power for all, and the development of renewable energy. France pays close attention to this infrastructure, which is the backbone of energy transition. In a bigger picture, the project serves this core vision we share with India, a key element being the Paris Climate Agreement. I look forward to hearing Hon'ble Chief Minister Kamal Nath's conclusions of EDF's studies and discussing how France and French companies can continue supporting the Madhya Pradesh government's initiatives."
Following the ceremony, Ambassador Ziegler toured the site of an automated transformer (unmanned substation) managed by MPPMCL.
Later in the day, he inaugurated an exhibition, "Jangarh Ke Chiraiyaa", at Alliance Française de Bhopal, and visited the Tribal Museum.
A team of experts from France's electricity utility company of global renown, EDF International, has been working alongside MPPMCL for more than a year, coming several times to Madhya Pradesh for on-field missions to collect data and closely consult with MPPMCL's management and operational teams. Funded by the French government, this study is an illustration of France's commitment to supporting India's ambitious energy transition.

A Raglan Tee for Comfortable Summer Wear: Jalie 3669
Posted on Tuesday the 12th June 2018 by Saturday Night Stitch
After the success with a standard t shirt last time using Burda Pattern 6602, I decided to explore the other type of t shirt – the raglan tee.
Alternately known also as a "baseball tee", a raglan tee is characterized by a sleeve that extends in one piece from the collarbone down the arm. This collar to cuff sleeve creates the distinctive shoulder seam which draws the eyes below the shoulders, giving the wearer a naturally athletic physique. Most frequently, the sleeves contrast in colour to the torso of the tee.
Interestingly did you know that the raglan sleeve is named after some English chap who lost his arm during a war and his tailors made a coat with a specially adapted sleeve to give his sole remaining arm a full range of movement? And his name?.......Lord Raglan!! Lord Raglan, The First Baron Raglan! This was designed so he could also dress himself – I don't know about you, but I am super impressed by the functional heritage of the raglan sleeve. Thank goodness it wasn't the Earl of Sandwich though, can you imagine sewing up a "sandwich sleeve"? I digress…….moving on.
I admit I'm slightly in love with the raglan sleeve on my husband – the McCalls M7864 I sewed up for him has raglan sleeves and he looks smashing in it ?. So when I stumbled upon the Cotton Jersey Fabric I knew I had to try and make a raglan sleeve T shirt for him. He chose the emerald green and white colours. When the fabric arrived he was very surprised with how vibrant the green was – it's a verdant sort of emerald green. Paired with the white it just pops! The quality is also excellent – soft and springy with good stretch recovery. Its also very wide which meant I was able to squeeze out a (short sleeve) tee shirt for one of little people from the leftovers. Win!
For the pattern I selected Jalie Nico (3669). I have read a lot of great things about Jalie patterns. I own 2 Jalie patterns and actually made up one of their swimsuits. The thing I really like about Jalie patterns is the incredible size range you get – they go from kids to adult. Off course this means tracing out the pattern but the sheer value is incredible.
The Nico pattern is described as a fitted men's raglan tee with short, three-quarter or long sleeve. It also comes with a straight or curved hem. Hubs opted for straight hem.
This particular pattern starts from boys age 2 – 13 years. The mens sizes range from XS (33" CHEST) – XXL (50" CHEST). I have four guys in my household that I sew for so this is fantastic.
The pattern sheet is uncluttered with each size line in different colours. The colour and print quality is excellent with strong bright colours that are easy to follow. The paper is of strong durable quality that will last me years of tracing.
The instructions are also located on the pattern sheet which is a nifty thing – the number of times I have separated the instruction booklet from the pattern sheet is just silly. The instructions are easy to follow.
I selected both sizes based on the chest measurements. The fit is perfect. The guys are happy in their "inverse" twin tops.
T shirts are simple garments to make and once you make one, well, you can easily get the bug. I have plans to make more of these raglan sleeve T shirts. It is easy to throw on, and when made of good quality fabric is versatile enough to mix and match with a wide range of looks. This pattern gives a great shape and the choice of contrast colours is only limited by your imagination.
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Peace and love,

That did not stop rap T-shirt designer Marino Morwood from picking Jobs as the subject of his latest creation. Having focused stars like Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. for his previous designs, his Steve Jobs T-shirt could bring Apple's late CEO to a whole new audience!

It is no secret that the call center operation has always relied heavily on the IT department to help manage and maintain the technology and telephony infrastructure. Over the years, this close relationship between IT and the call center lead to a symbiotic relationship that allowed companies to solve customer service problems with a mix of technology and business process innovation.
With growing adoption of cloud, like inContact's cloud contact center software, companies are experiencing significant savings from reduced IT involvement in call center infrastructure maintenance. While this cost reducing benefit is one of the key reasons companies are buying into the cloud, it is a mistake to completely divorce the IT team from the cloud call center.
I am offering three suggestions to IT management on how they can continue to provide technical expertise to the cloud call center.
Get Knowledge
Good IT teams are like the technical eyes and minds for the company. As they work on various technology initiatives, they are often exposed to key business initiatives across the enterprise. Many IT managers can attest to the key business innovations that have occurred as the IT team iterates and combines projects from disparate parts of the company.
In a like manner, IT teams that become familiar with the call center platform from a technical perspective begin to see new ways to solve business problems with the platform. It is truly a rewarding experience to watch the proverbial light bulb turn on as someone realizes they now have the means to solve a nagging business need.
Get Embedded
When was the last time you, as the leader of IT, sat with a phone rep? When was the last time you watched how many button clicks it took for the rep to find the information they need or the right screen to enter an order?
If the answer is anything like, "Gee, I don't remember," then it is time get embedded. Sit with a few agents. Listen to their calls. Watch what they are doing in their CRM tool. Ask a few people what they wish they could change. (By the way, I've found that as helpful as some of the longer tenured reps can be, I get the best ideas for change from the newer employees who may have come from another call center).
Armed with the knowledge you know of the call center platform, you can create a plan that will help the call center be more efficient. A good place to start is looking at anything that will decrease the Average call Handle Time.
Get Innovative
If necessity is the mother of invention, then thought power must be the father. Take time to daydream. It is easier said than done, but the job of a leader is to lead into the future, not just maintain the present. Schedule the time to think. Brainstorm with others.
This is the ideal way to bring about innovation. It has its time and place. But often times, innovation is more like copying. Do not be afraid to rub shoulders with those outside of your company. Events like inContact's annual user's conference, ICUC, provides a forum for companies to share solutions they have come up with tackle business and technical problems they have faced.
If you happen to hear a good idea, don't be afraid to adapt it to your organization. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
By following these simple steps, the call center and the IT team will continue to have a healthy and synergistic relationship long into the future.
Check out the new Benchmark Assessment tool. Find out how your contact center's IT resources and operational strategies stack up against your industry peers—and build your business case for the infrastructure you need to drive business growth. It's well worth 5 minutes to get invaluable personalized feedback.

meaning: chase, seize
逮捕 == taiho == (noun) arrest, apprehension, capture
Left/outer radical is 'movement'. The inner/right radical is a character only found in Chinese, meaning 'fox cub'. The top element is one of the variants of 'hand'; the character originates from a pictograph of a hand seizing an animal by its tail. Henshall suggests as a mnemonic: 'Move in chase and seize tail by hand .'

Xbox Snags The Walking Dead's First 6-Second Ads
It's also sponsor the red carpet livestream for Sunday's premiere
Just two weeks after AMC began looking for a brand to buy the first six-second ad to appear in a linear scripted show, the network has stuck a deal with Xbox.
The Microsoft-owned company has purchased the six-second ad slots available in The Walking Dead's second and third episodes—airing Oct. 29 and Nov. 5—as part of an expanded partnership with the show, which airs its Season 8 premiere, and its 100th episode, on Sunday.
The Microcoft-owned company had already bought a 60-second spot in Sunday's premiere for Xbox One X, and had agreed to sponsor the "next on Walking Dead" coming attractions for the eight episodes comprising the first half of Season 8. In addition to signing on for the six-second ads, the company will now be the presenting sponsor of the show's red carpet livestream from the show's Sunday night premiere, at L.A.'s Greek Theatre.
The 45-minute livestream will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET Sunday on Facebook Live, Twitter, YouTube and the Mixer Xbox Channel. Xbox will quickly produce a 30-second spot featuring footage from the event, which will run during the two-hour Talking Dead live episode, airing immediately after the premiere.
Just two weeks ago, AMC announced it would be inserting a single six-second ad into this season of The Walking Dead, which remains TV's No. 1 show among 18- to 49-year-olds.
Beginning with Season 8's second episode, airing on Oct. 29, the six-second ad will air precisely at 9 p.m.—just as DVRs will start recording the zombie drama. The spots will appear in episodes two through eight, leading up to the show's midseason hiatus.
Last season, around 10 million viewers—in both the 18-49 and 25-54 demos—tuned-in to that specific moment each episode, in live-plus-3 ratings. AMC said that out delivered the show's average episode rating, as well as that for all national NFL games during the regular season.
Because of the new spot's isolation and high engagement, AMC sought The Walking Dead's highest CPM rates for them. The network was expecting pricing to land somewhere between that of a standard 15-second and 30-second spot for the series.
The six-second format has been gaining momentum, with brands and agencies expecting it to gain real traction in 2018.
Fox became the first broadcaster to commit to the format over the summer. The network rolled out its first six-second linear ad during the Teen Choice 2017 awards on Aug. 13, and has expanded the format this fall to Fox Sports telecasts, including NFL and Major League Baseball games on Fox, and FS1 telecasts of college football and Major League Soccer games. But this is the first time that the new linear format will air during a TV series.
Last month, AMC announced an extensive Walking Dead partnership with Mountain Dew, which spans the first half of Season 8. The show's most famous characters—Rick Grimes, Michonne and Daryl Dixon—will appear on more than 100 million Mountain Dew products, and the companies also created an augmented-reality app, which places zombie walkers in the real world. Consumers can unlock additional walkers by watching Mountain Dew commercials during each of the eight episodes in Season 8's first half or by scanning the Mountain Dew-Walking Dead merchandise in retail locations.

Ratings for 'The Orville,' 'Sunday Night Football' Delayed Due to Hurricane Irma
As Hurricane Irma continues to hit Florida and other parts of the southeast, primetime ratings have also been impacted by the storm.
Nielsen confirmed Monday that ratings for Sunday's primetime lineup, which included one of the first Sunday Night Football matches of the season, a special preview of Seth MacFarlane's sci-fi series The Orville and 60 Minutes' highly anticipated Steve Bannon interview, will be delayed as a result of the storm. Due to Irma, one of the company's ratings teams was forced to evacuate the Tampa Bay area.
"Our first priority and thoughts are for the safety of our clients, Nielsen associates and communities in which we operate and serve," a Nielsen spokesperson said in a statement. "The team that reports ratings has evacuated the Tampa Bay area due to Hurricane Irma. Therefore, our ratings will be delayed in the near term. We are actively monitoring the situation in Florida and will provide another update as soon as we know more."
No estimated time of arrival was given for the delayed ratings. Nielsen last faced a major delay in primetime ratings delivery back in March, which was caused by a power outrage at one of the company's Florida-based facilities. The delay lasted three full days, and causing delayed reporting on ratings for the This Is Us season one finale and The Bachelor, among others.

As you probably saw in my videos prior to leaving for Romaniacs, I spent considerable time deciding what equipment to take with me for prepping myself and the 2014 Husaberg TE300 for the race. Here is a quick rundown of how everything performed.
Top Choices
Sidi SRS Crossfire w/Enduro soles – I can't even begin to describe how perfect this piece of technology is for extreme enduro racing, particularly in slick conditions. Having the confidence to put a foot down and know that it was going to find traction was a huge help for me. Of course, if we had not spent so much time pushing and bulldogging bikes, it would not have been as important. But as it was, I tremendously impressed with how well these worked. They were absolutely the right tool for the job. I wouldn't necessarily choose them for everything; they collect a lot of mud. But if I ever go back to Romania, they are going with me.
Hyde Racing Pipe Guard/Skid Plate – Here is another example of the perfect tool for the race. There were many logs and rock outcroppings to cross. Most of these required getting the front wheel over the object, then pushing or dragging the bike the rest of the way over. With the one piece connection between the pipe and frame, there was never any damage to either and the bike would slide easily. It was particularly nice not to get a log wedged between the pipe and frame. It did crack in the front from the front wheel hitting the guard, but once it cracked, it just stayed that way. It did not get any worse. This too is sort of a mud collector, so I would make sure to pack it with foam for long term use.
Bulletproof Guards – These fall into the "install and forget" category. I put on the radiator and swingarm guards before the race and never had cause to think about either again. That is just the way I want it. I don't know if I needed them or not, but I never once worried about damage to either area. Even the factory riders were impressed with the design, particularly compared to the bulky Hard Equipment ones they run.
Klim Gear – The weather had everything from fog covered high altitude mountains, to light rain and soaked with sweat heat. As always the Klim gear was near perfect. I used my Stowaway Jacket a little each day and was glad to have it. The Nac Pac was just the perfect size for a few supplies, jacket and water bladder.
Garmin Etrex 20 GPS – I really like this one. It will probably become my standard for most use. The screen is super easy to see and the navigation is simple. It is a little more compact than my Garmin 62, but still has most of the same features for everyday use.
Nutrition – The Hammer Gel was an absolute lifesaver from me on the day I was so sick. It was the only thing I could get down easily. Kate's bars were next; when I was sick I needed some solid food that would keep my stomach happy and the bars where perfect. We were out so long each day, I probably should have carried a banana in my pack too.
Ebay GPS Tether – This tether saved me from losing my GPS at least twice.
Golden Tyre GT216 – Golden Tyre was nice enough to help us out with some new tires and Mousses for the event. Everything worked very well. I used the standard compound tires, not the super soft. I paired it with a slightly undersized mousse. I did not go with the cut or drilled mousse, mostly for duarbity reasons. I wanted them to last the entire event. It all worked quite well. After day two I changed to a Mitas rear, it was all that I could get at the time. Overall I think the Mitas fared slightly better in both wear and traction, particularly the side hill grip. But the differences are very small. The front GT216 held up well for the whole event and only showed a little wear at the end.
Okay, but might have been better
OEM Handguards – It was my intent to run the Fastway guards, but I just ran out of time when prepping the bike. The OEM guards are slightly revised for 2014 and looked stronger. I broke two of the factory guards during the week. They are strong when being pushed against and provide pretty decent lever protection. But they break easily when pulled backwards, the screws that hold the two parts together rip out. On day one I damaged a lever and grip pretty bad from losing the bike downhill more than once. In retropsect, I should have gone with the wrap around Fastway FIT guards. I was lucky not to suffer any more damage than I did.
Drink Mix – I wasn't completely happy with my drink choice, orange powdered Gatorade. I should have taken more variety. We were out so long each day that I got tired of the orange flavor and was looking for something different. I finally just poured a grapefruit soda in my bladder and mixed it with water, it was a nice change. I wish I would have taken some of the Camelback brand electrolyte tablets with me too. They have worked well for me at the ISDE.
Should have remembered
Dirt Tricks Radiator Fan Kit – I don't know how I forgot this one! I should have taken a fan to mount on the TE300. I watched lots of riders installing OEM fans and they are so much work to do correctly. The Dirt Tricks fan with the manual switch would have been perfect because it is so easy to install. As it was, I did not boil the 300 too much. I am pretty easy on the bike. But I watched lots of other riders having cooling issues.
Tow Rope – Somehow I left home without my tow rope. I happened to find a sporting goods store that had climbing rope for sale, so I just got about 5' to carry with me. We spent lots of time pulling and pushing bikes. It was important to have a grab loop mounted over the front fender. Honestly, the best ones were just homemade from ½" rope or nylon strapping. For the tow rope, having a carabineer hooked to the end makes it a quick connect to hook to the grab loop. That way you can use one rope quickly to pull various bikes.
Not the best choice
No Name Bicycle GPS Mount – This turned out to be a complete piece of junk. The plastic was super easy to break. I broke one on day 1 and one on day 4. Fortunately I had a tether on the GPS or it would have been lost. For the Etrex 20, I will just go with the more common RAM mount. It is a little bulky, but should be far for durable. I have had good luck with the RAM mounts for my other models.
As for my bike, the 2014 Husaberg TE300, I can't imagine anything working better. Other than tinkering with the jetting and powervalve settings some, I really didn't touch it. I was too lazy to do much other than one air filter change. I didn't change the oil or really even check anything during the 4 trail days, I just rode it. I didn't mention the Flexx bars, but most of you know those are just standard equipment for me anyway. They took a couple of good hits into the ground and held up fine, glad to have them. My only real complaint was the forks. They were way too soft. I think the 2013 Husaberg models we recently tested with the WP 4CS forks probably had higher oil levels in them which made them ride much better.

Seems like a bug to me. What is the motivation of using wifi network when I am intentionally overriding it with VPN?Ideally I would like to specify binding ip myself, however I could agree giving such option is not for everyone. But could you at least consider interface option to use vpn ip in case of active vpn connection please? (for me it seems that vpn ip must be always preferred)Thank you.

There's one obscure band out there sure to get sighs of recognition from experienced Death Metalheads, a band that released one album and then vanished into the nether regions of the underground like some twisted messiah, promising to one day return but leaving its followers eternally disappointed. The Czech geniuses behind Lykathea Aflame may have set the ball rolling in their earlier incarnation, Appalling Spawn, but there's something so smooth and perfect about Elvenefris that it's hard not to regard it as a classic. Imagine Cryptopsy's frantic masterpiece None So Vile given an atmospheric Eastern makeover, softer, more melodic parts added and generally progged up without losing a bit of its violence or power, although it isn't as devastating a listen. You need patience to really get to know this album, as the mixture of atmospheric lightness and furious grinding can be rather overwhelming at first, but after a listen or two the sheer esoteric value of it all becomes clear.
It's one of those albums that knocks me off my feet pretty much every time I hear it, firstly for the expert dynamics that take you from hellish fury to heavenly melody in a single track (Flowering Entities, for instance) but also for the sheer level of experimentation, often very subtle and hidden. The way that To Give is an old-school Thrashy Death Metal anthem backed by what sounds like an Eastern orchestra, for instance, following in Cynical footsteps but in another dimension entirely, or the utterly gorgeous and glorious atmospheric build-up that opens On The Way Home, leading to a furious torrent of Death Metal menace. It's hard to take individual tracks completely apart, since they're all complex and layered bursts of experimental brutality that take time and patience to truly fathom.
Fans typically praise the lyrics here, and yes, the philosophical themes undertaken by the band are well represented in lyrical terms, although you wouldn't think that the growls here are saying anything other than 'ROOAAAR'. Of course, the clean vocals are fantastic too, for their rarity if nothing else, providing moments of genuine spiritual calm amidst the otherwise intense maelstrom. Yet first and foremost, the rhythm section-driven ferocity of the most violent parts is what draws you in and keeps you gripped, the gentle Prog Metal of A Step Closer the eye in the Death Metal storm, as proven by the ensuing blastfest that opens the nine-minute An Old Man And A Child. Eleven-minute finale Walking In The Garden Of Ma'at is a synth and birdsong piece, ambient, gentle and salutary, doubtless an influence on Mithras and others who use keyboards to such sledgehammer effect, but it serves as a good ending piece and reminds you that the band are as good at softness as they are at brutality.
Whatever you listen to this album for, whether the eastern melody or the western heaviness lives on in your memory, there's enough to keep you happy for a long time, and Elvenefris is a must-purchase for those with Death Metal interests that lie outside the genre's usual sphere. A sequel has long been promised, yet shows no sign of incarnation – stay loyal by reminding yourself why you joined this religion in the first place.MySpace (fan)

Pustulotic arthro-osteitis, first described by Sonozaki, is a relatively rare disorder. Its prevalence is however probably underestimated in dermatological literature. Early recognition of the signs can prevent misdiagnosis. We describe a Turkish patient who presented with palmoplantar pustulosis and involvement of the sternoclavicular joint and peripheral oligoarthritis.

Anyone in the job market today can tell you how difficult it is to obtain employment. Not to sound bleak or repeat the media, but this is especially true for recent graduates. Ask them and they'll certainly be more than happy to tell you about the struggles they have faced that those a generation ago could have never imagined. The most glaring of these barriers is the "you-can't-get-a-job-without-experience/you-can't-get-experience-without-a-job" paradox. Even entry-level jobs—those hoping to attract recent graduates and people looking for a career change—will, without fail, require some amount of prior experience.
For those who have aspirations of working in teaching or higher education, there is no better way to gain entrance to the industry than to have experience within it. If you're reading this, you probably know this already. Fortunately, at The College of New Jersey, students have the opportunity to create a foothold for themselves in teaching and higher education by participating in a practicum at Bucks County Community College. Through the practicum, graduate students get to experience the education system from the opposite side of the desk by taking on the role of teacher. This past spring semester I seized upon this opportunity and was lucky enough to be involved in the practicum program. I cannot stress enough how wonderful my experiences were and just how much learning I took away from the practicum.
While TCNJ's English graduate program prides itself on students' active role in the classroom, the practicum places the graduate student at the center of the educational experience: taking charge of their growth as educators through hands-on experience and the learning of their Bucks students. To be clear, while rewarding, the practicum is challenging at times. One must learn to balance the personal learning of graduate student study with learning to become an educator and applying this learning immediately through the role of writing instructor.
The act of teaching itself can be difficult, as students come from a variety of backgrounds and some may struggle with the material itself. Learning to teach to differing styles of learners is essential to success in any classroom. In my experience, I was given a highly diverse class of students with differing abilities and learning styles which my advising professor (who has taught at Bucks for about five years) frequently described as the most difficult class he had ever been assigned. Every lesson and assignment was an uphill battle, which sounds bad, but really it made me become a dynamic teacher, who has learned to employ many styles and tools of teaching.
In regards to my advising professor, I have to add that one of the best features of Bucks is its staff. The faculty and administration are highly supportive and excited to work with practicum students to ensure their success. While you may face challenges and new experiences, you are never alone in doing so. Someone will always be there to work with you to achieve your goals in the classroom and in your own learning.
For those who are interested in higher education and teaching after completing their Master's degree, there is no better way to get experience in the field than to participate in The College of New Jersey/Bucks County Community College practicum. The practicum is a professional experience, wherein students work closely with faculty advisors at Bucks to facilitate and instruct classes in composition and literature. Students will create their own syllabus and assignments, learn to run dynamic classes, lead meaningful discussions on varying subjects, and will be tasked with grading and maintaining course standards.
As an institution, Bucks County Community College provides a great opportunity for those who are interested in higher education. For those who have never taught before, the small class sizes and diverse student population present an ideal situation for exploring what works in the classroom. For those who have some teaching experience under their belt, they will find that this situation presents them with a unique opportunity to refine their skills, while working with different institutional standards and expectations as well as students of varying abilities.
While the experience itself is the main focus of the practicum, it does provide other benefits, such as fulfilling three credits within the TCNJ MA program, while Bucks provides participants with a stipend, professional development opportunities, and the chance to take on more responsibility and involvement in the Bucks community as a tutor.

Price is low but the LCD is too small for an ultra-compact IMO. You really want a big LCD for ultra-compacts (since the viewfinder is next to useless). SD110 seems to have 1.5", which is on the very low-end for ultra-compacts.
I think the megapixels (3MP) and the rest of the stuff look ok but the LCD is too small IMO... wait for 2005 models, which will likely have larger LCDs... OR...if money is tight, look at a cheaper brand like Casio (eg. Casio Z40) or something. Casio has bigger LCD but with less pixels so it looks horrible but it is bigger...
So to sum up, the Canon will have good pics but its LCD is kind of small...

Maybe look to the newer SD200 - still 3MP but more optical zoom - 3x not 2x, a bigged LCD 2" not 1.5" and better, unlimited movie modes. Also a bit thinner.

I disagree - the viewfinder is perfectly adequate for me. I have tried lots of cameras and on none of them is the size of the LCD a determining factor. In sunlight you can't see it no matter how 'big' it is.
Did a lot of research on the really small digicams and this one came up a winner for quality vs. price vs. features. The one sacrifice we made was the 2x zoom, but other factors made more of a difference. This is my wife's camera - she keeps it in her purse, whiche she could not do with my A85.

for me it was the 3x zoom and the awsome video modes on the sd200/300 that kept me from getting the 110.

It's all in the resolution. There's no point having a big screen with a low resolution, because then you will just get undetailed, pixelated pictures. But if you have a smaller LCD with a higher resolution, things will look sharp but may be too small if you have bad eyes. All in all, i would take a higher resolution, smaller screen over a bigger but low resolution screen; anyday.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Techniques, Strategies, & Guidelines and other ADD-ADHD topics.
Avoid harsh interactions, harsh punishment, and hostile interaction. Focus on what you can change and be reasonable in providing a consequence for inappropriate behavior. Inner dialogue is powerful. Negative inner dialogue can be extremely harsh. When addressing a behavior that needs change or improvement consider carefully about how to present the information. Difficult and awkward messages can be delivered with kindness and tact. ADHD individuals, like everyone
else, want to do their best but their intentions are sometimes derailed by
distraction. It isn't necessary or helpful to attack behavior in an angry mode; in fact it is destructive. Hostility freezes attitudes and forward movement. Courtesy and respect advance agendas. Positive human contact is essential.

Meeting the need for smart mobility solutions
Concepts that make transport more efficient are in demand with the ever-increasing need for mobility. With our long-standing transport expertise and our IT know-how, we are constantly developing new, intelligent mobility solutions that increase availability of infrastructure, optimize throughput and improve passenger experience. It's in how we electrify, automate and digitalize infrastructure that we're setting the benchmark for tomorrow's mobility – today.
Powerful innovation in new light rail cars
Owned and operated by the City of Calgary, Calgary Transit provides safe, accessible and courteous transportation in one of Canada's largest municipalities. Since 1909, Calgarians have relied on the service to get them around their community.
Calgary Transit was looking for potential suppliers to provide trains that boasted leading-edge technology and were priced competitively, but it was also essential that strong after-sale service come as part of the package, and that the selected company have proven itself in the industry with a long history and strong track record.
Read the case study: Calgary Transit
Satisfying the need for seamless mobility
People today expect and need solutions that make their daily mobility simpler, more flexible, faster, more reliable and affordable. Cities and national economies, on the other hand, face the challenge of reducing the costs, space requirements, noise and CO2 emissions of transportation.
The pressure on mobility providers and policymakers to meet these mobility and transportation needs is not just high but growing – by 2050 the urban population is expected to exceed 70%. In the face of these rising demands, the transport industry is now seeking solutions that will take existing transport infrastructure to the next level.
Make mobility safer, faster, more convenient – and fun
Digitalization not only plays a key role for mobility providers in their struggle to achieve the reliability, flexibility and availability they need to make rail solutions cost-efficient: It lies at the heart of making the lives of people who travel easier and more enjoyable. Locomotives, trains, components, train automation systems – everything is a valuable source of data.
With Siemens Digital Services, a state-of-the-art system that processes this wealth of transportation data, transport operators analyze trends and monitor the status of machinery and the flow of passengers and goods to offer a smooth mobility experience.
Digital Services - Keep your trains on the move
Siemens draws on rich transport experience and in-depth expertise to add intelligence – to create smart solutions that not just allow mobility providers to react swiftly to any given situation, but to anticipate them.
And, last but not least, digital solutions ensure an enhanced and contemporary travel experience with constant Internet access and customized services.
The data opportunity for mobility – THE whitepaper for the IoT related to public transport
Are you interested to know how digitalization today is being applied across the mobility sector and how data can drive value for society, operators, and authorities? Then take the opportunity and get deeper insights from the whitepaper 'The Data Opportunity'.

We are DocuSign: Emily Creer
Our "We are DocuSign" blog series places the spotlight on employees from a variety of departments and provides a peek into what it's like to work at DocuSign. This week we sat down with Emily Creer, Account Manager at DocuSign APAC to chat about her day-to-day work, what she admires about her colleagues and something none of her co-workers know about her.
Q: What do you do at DocuSign?
I'm an Account Manager at DocuSign, looking after existing customers in the APAC region and I've been with DocuSign since May 2016. My job's great because I get to hear all the success stories from our customers on how DocuSign is helping their business. I work on renewing current customers and helping them identify new use cases for DocuSign within their businesses.
Q: What is the best thing about working at DocuSign?
Without doubt, the people. Our team, especially here in APAC, is just a great bunch of people. I spend over 50% of my day smiling at something one of my colleagues has said. If you're ever having a difficult day in the office, you know it's not going to take long before you're laughing again.
Q: What do your friends and family think you do at DocuSign?
They know I work for a US tech company that provides a platform for electronic signatures – whether they could say it so eloquently, I couldn't say.
Q: What is the best advice you can give to somebody starting a new job in your department at DocuSign?
Learn to multitask quickly. I have never had to juggle so many different tasks in one day in my life. When I first started, I found it hard ending a day and not having completed everything on my to-do list – I'd never faced that before, but that's now a daily occurrence. There are only so many hours in a day and you can only do so much, but you can work fast and that's certainly needed in this role. Its challenging but it's one of the aspects I enjoy the most.
Q: What traits do you most admire in your colleagues at DocuSign?
Their karaoke skills are top notch. They're a very determined and hardworking bunch of sales people and incredibly likeable.
Q: What traits do you think your DocuSign colleagues most admire in you?
I'm dependable – I always do what I say I'm going to do. And I'm very honest – I always say it like it is.
Q: What is something most of your colleagues at DocuSign don't know about you?
I'm a classically trained soprano and have a borderline unhealthy obsession with The Phantom of the Opera amongst other musicals.
Q: What is your favorite snack from the DocuSign kitchen?
Cheese. Always.
Q: What is the best project you ever worked on at DocuSign and why?
I see the development of the Account Management team within APAC as the best project I'm a part of here at DocuSign. When I joined, I was the only Account Manager in region and now there are three of us – soon to be four. I'm excited to grow the team as our customer base continues to expand and see how we excel in the months ahead.
Q: If you were not working at DocuSign and could do anything in the world, what would you be doing/do next?
Travelling, ideally on an unlimited budget, across Europe. I'm originally from the UK and wish I'd made more of my proximity to Europe whilst living there.
Q: What is the secret for you to happiness?

Donald Glover Explains Why He's Retiring Childish Gambino
"There's nothing worse than like a third sequel."
This past weekend, Donald Glover — as Childish Gambino — shocked concertgoers by concluding his show-stealing set with remarks about a final musical project. "I'll see you for the last Gambino album," he told the Randall's Island denizens who stayed for his entire act. Now, thanks to a new Huffington Post feature, we're receiving some clarification regarding his recent statement.
Speaking to HuffPost's Taryn Finley at an Atlanta press event, Donald Glover reveals that he will be closing the chapter on his Childish Gambino alter-ego in the near future. "There's nothing worse than like a third sequel, like a third movie and we're like, 'again?'" Glover explains. "You know, I like it when something's good and when it comes back there's a reason to come back, there's a reason to do that."
Outside of the musical realm, Donald Glover is nowhere near a complete retirement. The modern jack of all trades has plans to bring a Deadpool animated series to television, and the Star Wars film he's involved with will catapult his career to completely new heights.
Elsewhere, Glover boils down his artistic decisions to one thing: "being punk." Expounding on his previous comments, the Awaken, My Love musician tells HuffPost:
"Like I feel like there's gotta be a reason to do things and I always had a reason to be punk … Being punk just always felt really good to me and we always looked at Atlanta as a punk show and I feel like the direction I would go with Childish Gambino wouldn't be punk anymore. As much as 'Redbone' is a punk song because it's a gospel song that's on the radio, I'm like there's only so far you can go before you just are the radio."

The provincial government created, "a model in which public funding subsidizes the real estate acquisitions of private investors while allowing these operators to erode wages and working conditions through contracting out and contract-flipping." — CCPA study
Ottawa (06 April 2017) — A recent report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) shows how seniors in British Columbia are being short-changed by the failure of the B.C. government to adequately fund home care and residential care.
The report, Privatization & Declining Access to BC Seniors' Care: AN URGENT CALL FOR POLICY CHANGE. shows that since 2001 there have been a 20 per cent drop in the ratio of residential care and assisted living beds to people 75 or over. For home support — help with day-to-day living — the ratio has dropped by 30 per cent. While there has been some improvement in the percentage of seniors 75 and over getting home care, based on the drop in the visits per client, quality has suffered.
Privatization means lower quality residential care
One finding in the report was that provincial government policies that encourage privatization of residential care have harmed the quality of care seniors receive. According to the report, the provincial government created "a model in which public funding subsidizes the real estate acquisitions of private investors, while allowing these operators to erode wages and working conditions through contracting out and contract-flipping."
The combination of privatization and weakening protection for workers almost always means higher staff turnover and lower staffing levels, both of which affect quality. It also appears to have placed vulnerable seniors at risk of being suddenly left with nowhere to live.
Recently,the CBC reported that a for-profit retirement care operator attempted to evict 20 seniors in subsidized units from an assisted-living facility so they could fill the units with more profitable residents. That would not have happened with a publicly owned or non-profit facility. While the seniors have been allowed to stay in their homes for now, what happens to them after the contract between the facility owner and Vancouver Coast Health expires in less than 2 years remains unclear.
Key services eliminated in home support
The reduction in the number of medical appointments relative to the number of seniors over 75 is just one of the ways the level of care for seniors trying to live independently has been reduced.
Seniors used to be able to get help with tasks like meal preparation, laundry and light housekeeping. For many seniors that kind of help is essential for them to continue to live in their own homes. But that didn't stop the provincial government from making drastic cuts.
Recent funding announcement suspiciously close to provincial election
For 15 years the B.C. Liberal government has been content with the steady erosion in the quality of care seniors receive. But just over a month before a provincial election, the government announced $125 million per year in funding for 4 years. The funding is still not enough to offset 15 years of decline. And people are more than a little cynical about government U-turns on the eve of an election that looks like it will be close.

Use of notwithstanding clause is remarkably broad, covering several Charter rights, but can't be used to override international obligations
Bill 21 proposes to reinforce state secularism, which is a good thing, but it will do so by diminishing religious freedoms through the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter and by sidelining the judiciary. And the bill does more, far more. It uses "values" as a bulwark against virtually the entire Canadian Charter, the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and international human rights obligations.
The Supreme Court of Canada has said, and keeps saying, that state neutrality protects individuals' religious freedoms, including non-beliefs, within reasonable limits.
Bill 21 has it backward. It will deploy individuals at the front lines in the battle to impose state neutrality, violating an unwritten principle of the rule of law that protects minorities in Canada.
Premier François Legault argues that Bill 21 is "reasonable" and that several countries have tougher laws. He may be referring to France. In 2018, the United Nations Human Rights Committee handed down two decisions criticizing French laws banning niqabs as "the imposition of a dress code on women." It also demolished France's argument about upholding women's equality because France relied "solely on prejudices held by some people about the way of life of certain groups."
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was ratified by Canada in 1976 and Quebec is bound by its terms. It guarantees freedom of thought, conscience and religion. It prohibits removing those rights under any circumstance if doing so discriminates among people by religion. Incidentally, Legault cannot use the notwithstanding clause on international law.
He can, however, use the notwithstanding clause to erase the Canadian Charter's equality rights, as well as religious freedoms. But Bill 21 goes further. Section 30 states that it operates notwithstanding most of the other major rights and freedoms in the Charter. The bill only lists them by number instead of spelling them out, which considerably reduces the shock value. Here are a few of the rights: freedom of expression, conscience, association, peaceful assembly and freedom of the press.

Denny's Zinger: When Direct Mail Whups the Pants Off Email
In 1984, Peggy and I launched a niche business — the newsletter and archive service on direct mail — Who's Mailing What!
I still adore direct mail, while email bores the hell out of me.
[Check out the media player where the first image compares a Bill Jayme/Heikki Ratalahti envelope vs. my dreary inbox.]
What triggered this column was a simply spectacular direct mail package from the Danbury Mint. The offer:
A two-sided pendant necklace with diamonds on the front.
On the back were Peggy and my names personally engraved in gold with the message:
As you can see, in images two through four, personalization was everywhere:
- Our names (Margaret and Denny) appeared 10 times each in the various elements.
- The personalized pendant photograph with our engraved names appeared five times:
- Outside carrier front
- Outside carrier back (with name and address)
- Carrier inside
- Lift piece
- Order form
Simply dazzling!
CLICK HERE to see one other mailing that matches this for inventiveness (and cost!)—the American Express Platinum Card launch, 28 years ago.
[Also see the fifth image.]
Takeaways to Consider
- Direct mail is tactile — not virtual.
- You cannot click it out of your life. It must be handled.
- You can use dazzling graphics and personalization.
- If you are launching a new product or service, think long and hard about using off-the-page advertising or the Internet. These are public forums. Your product can be seen by Chinese thieves who replicate your offer and put you out of business in hours.

Two young and ambitious rappers, Tre Capital and Danny Seth, have come together in "Halfway There"both to claim a stake for themselves in this volatile game. This song is lifted off Tre Capital's new project, Gundam Part II (follow up to Gundam Part I last fall), and enlists WondaGurl and Eestbound for production.
The track starts off with Tre testifying, "I been out here for the longest, really trying to get it / Halfway there towards my dreams, you can never know the feelin," pressed on by low, thumping drums. Then, Danny comes in with his jolting flow and cheeky lines to add a new dimension. It's exciting to see these two contrasting artists collaborate and push on forward.
Buy Tre's new Gundam Part II EP here, and keep your eyes peeled for Danny's highly anticipated, full-fledged Perception album, about to drop any minute.
