RESEARCH AT University College Dublin is uncovering the secret brain processes of star sportspeople which make them so successful.
Professor Aidan Moran of the UCD School of Pyschology says that his team of scientists are harnessing their discoveries and packaging them in order to advise sports psychologists and coaches on the best methods to help their clients improve their performance.
Eye trackers have been in use in sports science and psychology research at UCD for the past decade but they have become much more powerful in recent years. Prof Moran said:
We use those eye trackers to look at the differences between expert sportspeople and beginners in order to find out what's going on in their mind as they look at something. The eye tracker gives us a pattern of fixations that the eyes display.
But the psychology begins when we start analysing those fixations to see the knowledge that lies behind them. Sport is played by the body but won mainly in the mind.
It is the mental process that "distinguish expert sportspeople from beginners" that is the source of study.
Watch former tennis pro Conor Niland in the video below, using the tracking technology here as he watches video of a tennis match. Professor Moran shows that Niland's eye lands in a completely different spot from that of an amateur player. The amateur player literally keeps their eye on the ball – Niland's eye is on a point on the court, anticipating the position of his opponent.
(The blue markers denote where the amateur player's eye lands; the yellow is where the eye of a professional 'hits'.)
The hope is that analysing the mental patterns of professionals like Niland, scientists can evolve better training techniques for coaches and sports psychologists to use with clients in all sorts of sports. The research has also discovered that judging slopes on the green is a particularly important skill to hone for golfers.

Apple hires ARM chip designer Mike Filippo, takes another step from Intel CPU reliance
vendredi 28 juin 2019, 12:15 , par Power Page
In what could definitely be considered a significant step in its transition form Intel to ARM processors, Apple has hired one of ARM Holding's Inc.'s top chip engineers.
This, in turn, could allow for Apple to create its own new hardware, including devices, new Macs, and a possible headset.
Apple has hired Mike Filippo as of May for a chip architect position, according to Filippo's LinkedIn profile.
The next challenge, of course, could be for Apple to shed its reliance on Intel's CPUs while maintaining compatibility with this hardware.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

ANN VOGEL | For a new fall favorite, try squash lasagna
Lasagna is a dish traditionally made with tomato sauce and complementing herbs like basil and oregano. But, now that it's autumn, lasagna lends itself to smoky-sweet autumn flavors. Try layering noodles and cheeses with a homemade butternut squash sauce made from cubes of the squash roasted to a sweet golden color in your oven, and scented with minced sage.
The following recipe is enough to fill an 8x8-inch baking dish. Of course, you can customize the recipe to your own tastes. Some ideas follow the recipe.
Roasted Butternut Squash Lasagna
3-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced into one-inch cubes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 sage leaves, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1½ cups milk
1 ounce Romano or Parmesan cheese, grated, divided in half
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
freshly ground nutmeg
8 no-bake lasagna noodles (or pre-cook regular lasagna noodles)
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
To roast and season the squash: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix the butternut squash with the olive oil and sage. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the squash mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for a total of about 40 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Roast until lightly browned and tender. Remove from oven and cool.
Turn the oven temperature down to 375 degrees F.
In a food processor, puree the squash mixture until smooth, adding a small amount of water if needed to reach a smooth consistency. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium low heat, melt the butter. Add the additional sage and flour, and stir until it reaches a light boil. Slowly stir in the milk and return to a boil. Turn off the heat and stir in one half-ounce Romano cheese. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
In an 8x8 square baking dish, spread a bit of squash puree. Top with a layer of sauce, a layer of mozzarella, and a layer of noodles. Repeat the layers three times. Top the final layer of noodles with the remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle on the remaining half-ounce Romano cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top cheese layer is golden. Garnish with minced sage and serve.
Variations: Add a touch of sweetness by mixing an amaretti cookie into the butternut squash when you puree it. Add toasted nuts such as pinenuts or hazelnuts to the puree or sprinkle them onto a layer of the lasagna. Substitute or add other cheeses such as provolone or Parmigiano-Reggiano. Toss diced onion or cloves of oven-roasted garlic into a layer or two.

The Belfast Telegraph in Northern Ireland has leaked news of monumental importance to humanity:
"An American biologist has stepped into the shoes of Baron Frankenstein by breathing life into a bacterium using genes assembled in the laboratory.
The creation of the 'synthetic cell', described as a 'landmark' by one British expert, is a 15-year dream come true for maverick genetics entrepreneur Dr. Craig Venter."
Here is a response to the development from Ottawa's ETC Group, an international civil society organization which conducts research, education and advocacy on issues related to the social and economic impacts of new technologies on marginalized peoples.
In a paper published today in the journal Science, the J. Craig Venter Institute and Synthetic Genomics Inc announced the laboratory creation of the world's first self-reproducing organism whose entire genome was built from scratch by a machine. (1) The construction of this synthetic organism, anticipated and dubbed "Synthia" by the ETC Group three years ago, will stir a firestorm of controversy over the ethics of building artificial life and the implications of the largely unknown field of synthetic biology.
Panacea or ...
According to today's publication, "Synthia" could be a boon to second-generation agrofuels making it -- theoretically -- possible to feed people and cars simultaneously. The article further suggests that Synthia, or synthetic biology, could help clean up the environment, save us from climate change, and address the food crisis. "Synthia is not a one-stop-shop for all our societal woes," disputes Pat Mooney, Executive Director of ETC Group, an international technology watchdog based in Canada. "It is much more likely to cause a whole new set of problems governments and society are ill-prepared to address."
... Pandora's Box?
"This is the quintessential Pandora's box moment -- like the splitting of the atom or the cloning of Dolly the sheep. We will all have to deal with the fall-out from this alarming experiment," comments Jim Thomas of the ETC Group.
"Synthetic biology is a high-risk profit-driven field, building organisms out of parts that are still poorly understood.(2) We know that lab-created life-forms can escape, become biological weapons, and that their use threatens existing natural biodiversity. Most worrying of all, Craig Venter is handing this powerful technology to the world's most irresponsible and environmentally damaging industry by partnering with the likes of BP and Exxon to hasten the commercialization of synthetic life-forms."(3)
Synthetic biology refers to the construction of novel life-forms using synthetic DNA made from off-the-shelf chemicals -- a form of "extreme genetic engineering". The team behind today's announcement, led by controversial American scientist and entrepreneur Craig Venter, is associated with a private company, Synthetic Genomics Inc, bankrolled by the U.S. government and energy behemoths BP and Exxon.
Synthetic Genomics recently announced a $600 million research and investment deal with Exxon Mobil in addition to a 2007 investment from BP for an undisclosed amount. Venter, who led the private sector part of the human genome project 10 years ago, has already applied for patents related to Synthia's technology.(4)
Although high-profile backers of synthetic biology now occupy key positions in the U.S. Obama administration (5) there still remains no proper national or international oversight of new high-risk, technologies that carry vast implications for humanity and the natural world. In 2006, ETC Group joined with other organizations to demand the formal, open and inclusive oversight of synthetic biology(6) and have since called for a global halt on research pending the development of global regulations. ETC Group has reiterated that call at a scientific meeting of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in Nairobi attended by more than 100 governments.(7)
Or pandemonium?
The lack of global rules governing the field also concerns many governments, illustrated by the biodiversity talks in Nairobi. Mundita Lim of the Philippines delegation to the CBD expressed her country's concerns "about the serious potential impacts of synthetic biology on biodiversity... we believe that there should be no field release of synthetic life, cell or genome into the environment until thorough scientific assessments have been conducted in a transparent, open and participatory process involving all Parties, indigenous and local communities that will all be potentially affected by these synthetic life forms with unknown consequences on biodiversity, the environment and livelihoods." Today's announcement will give new urgency to the debate on synthetic biology and provide a dramatic example of the need for rigorous oversight over new technologies before their environmental or commercial release is permitted.

5) US Energy secretary Steven Chu was feted by press as "The Secretary of Synthetic Biology" when he was named to office last year, reflecting his previous role as head of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab where he oversaw a $600 million dollar investment by BP in the university's synthetic biology labs. On the other side of that deal was BP chief scientist Steve Koonin, now Undersecretary for Science in the DOE. Koonin reportedly spearheaded BP's investment in Synthetic Genomics Inc.

7) ETC Group currently has three staff members in Nairobi at the meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (SBSTTA 14). The topic of synthetic biology is under discussion at SBSTTA 14 under an item concerning the biodiversity risks of next generation biofuels.
ETC Group is an international civil society organization based in Ottawa, Canada. We conduct research, education and advocacy on issues related to the social and economic impacts of new technologies on marginalized peoples -- especially in the global South. We look at issues from a human rights perspective but also address global governance and corporate concentration. All ETC Group publications are available free of charge on our website.
ETC Group has been monitoring developments in synthetic biology for the past five years and has pioneered civil society activism around the field. In 2006 we joined dozens of other civil society organisations to protest plans for voluntary governance of synthetic biology. In 2007 we released "Extreme Genetic Engineering" the first ever critical introduction to the field (available here). We also exposed plans by J. Craig Venter and his colleagues to patent their planned synthetic organism, which we dubbed 'Synthia'. A full archive of ETC Group's writings, comments and press releases on the topic of Synthetic Biology is available here and video, audio and graphic resources on the topic are available here.
ETC Group has three staff members in Nairobi at the meeting of the Scientific Body to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (SBSTTA 14). The topics currently under discussion at SBSTTA include the biodiversity risks of next generation biofuels and new and emerging threats to biodiversity.

Training is an integral activity in contact centers, whether that be new hire onboarding or ongoing training and development of agents. However, with so many other business priorities, training doesn't always get the love and attention it deserves. Even in those organizations where training is a cultural cornerstone, providing meaningful, engaging, and effective training is still a challenge. We've touched on some simple ways to improve your training program in the past, and have some additional tips to take your training program to the next level.
Visible leadership commitment to training
Leadership needs to "walk the talk" when it comes to training. Leaders often verbally communicate the importance of training, but their actions contradict that sentiment. Often in contact centers, trainings are scheduled but then cancelled and pushed to the side the moment things get busy. While meeting short-term customer demands are an utmost priority, developing your agents to support your customers in the long-term is equally important. Contact centers should make training a priority, and occasionally decide whether a one-day dip in Service Levels is worth a longer-term performance return. One way to help mitigate this time-allocation tug-of-war is to factor in some extra shrinkage when scheduling to ensure you have enough agents scheduled to cover those agents who will be in training. Another consideration is to have multiple shifts for trainings, thus minimizing the impact of those agents off the phone at training.
Ensure opportunities for quick application of learnings
When it comes to training, if you don't use it, you lose it. Thus, to ensure that training concepts "stick" in your agents' behaviors and processes, look for opportunities for quick application in daily work. Did agents just attend training on a new ticketing system? Assign them homework to create a ticket in the new system within the next business day to ensure that they really learned how to do it. Also, depending on the topic, another way to drive application is to incorporate components of the concepts or processes learned into the quality evaluation forms used to assess performance.
Integrate new topics and themes
Sometimes corporate training can make you feel like you're living in the movie "Groundhog's Day" – the same exact topic, but just on a different day with a slightly different spin. It is inevitable that you will need to train on the same topic again, especially given contact center turn-over and compliance requirements. However, try your best to incorporate new themes, examples, or training approaches to make it feel less redundant. Also, if there are more tenured folks that have already mastered the concepts, don't require them to attend unless truly necessary.
Don't assume you know what training they need
Although you probably have a good pulse on the contact center's training gaps, don't make assumptions on what training is needed. Poll your staff to understand which concepts or processes they are struggling with the most, and train on those items first. Additionally, engaging the team in your curriculum plans fosters engagement and buy-in for the training.

4 Snapchat Marketing Hacks for Small Businesses
There's so much more to digital marketing than Facebook. Snapchat has more than 186 million daily active users — up from 46 million in 2014 — and this social media platform shows no signs of slowing down. No longer is this just a place to post cat memes and viral vids. Now, Snapchat is a killer marketing tool for your small business. Here's how to use it properly.
1. Target Millennials
Millennials have abandoned Facebook for Snapchat. More than 40 million Snapchat users are 12-24, and a massive 60 percent of people who use this platform are 18-34. Facebook, on the other hand, skews older.
If you want to attract a younger, social-savvy audience to your small business, post regular content on Snapchat. Product announcements, demos, how-to guides — all of this content will resonate with millennials and increase brand visibility.
2. Engage With Your Audience
Engaging with your Snapchat followers will revolutionize your marketing campaigns and lure more people to your product pages. So don't be a stranger. Comment on other Snaps, ask your followers questions and encourage users to spread the word about your brand. Who knows, you could build a whole new audience interested in your products and services.
3. Post Videos
People love watching videos, and the most successful small businesses know this. Marketers who use video grow revenue 49 percent faster than those who don't, according to research. Still, only 57 percent of all brand content on Snapchat is video.
"Video lets you show instead of tell," says All Things Snap. "It will show off your brand's character more than any character limit or staged photo. It allows you to do things like include music or conduct a 10-second interview."
4. Use Analytics
Want to find out whether your Snapchat campaigns provide you with a return on your investment? Use analytics to monitor your Snaps and access valuable insights into your followers. As a result, you can find out which content resonates the most with users.
These are just four marketing hacks that prove the power of Snapchat for lead generation and moving customers through your sales funnels. Sure, Facebook might have more users, but this social media platform targets millennials and engages your audience, especially if you use video and analytics.

Two teen boys, one of who is already in the Harris County Jail, have been charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a man, authorities have confirmed.
Darrell Ellsworth, 18, and another unidentified boy of age 16 were charged with capital murder on Thursday, May 2.
Arrest warrants were issued for the two for killing Jeremy Washington, 30, on March 14 at an apartment complex in Houston.
According to authorities, a witness heard a gunshot and found the victim mortally injured in the grass outside the apartment building.
The fatal shooting unfolded after Darrell was freed on the bail of $10,000 in December. He arrested and was charged with robbery in May 2018.
A warrant for his arrest was issued on April 17, 2019, after he didn't appear in court for the robbery case.
He was taken behind bars on the following day. He was also charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle and possessing meth.
The unauthorized use of a vehicle charge was filed a week before he missed his court date. Darrell is set to appear in court Monday.

Faces dimmed and diets became healthier as three downtown dessert places closed this summer. For Staples students, Michele's Pies, Crumbs and Pinkberry were among the most popular targets for a Friday night snack or occasional crave.
"Those were my favorite places in town. I'm not sure where to go now," Kee Busk '16 said.
Yet Crumb's large corporate shutdown, Pinkberry's lack of business and Michele's Pies location change left students wondering who their new town culprit would be.
But now, a sweet tooth will swiftly lead them to Saugatuck Sweets.
From cookie dough milkshakes to gargantuan cakes and masses of candy, this place is heaven for any dessert-lover. It includes 100 different bulk candy items, 16 flavors of hard ice cream, "Saugatuck Sandwiches" and many other specialty desserts.
"It's different from other places in Westport because it's super creamy and has the perfect consistency," Annie Haroun '16 said.
This new candy shop has been open for just four months and is already becoming a go-to location for students.
"Everyone goes there now. Sunny Daes, Carvel and other average spots are places of the past," Andrew Van Riper '16 said.
With live bands performing most Friday and Saturday nights, the evolving Saugatuck area is sure to be a hot-spot for not only students but everyone. The area features paddle-boarding central Down Under, Garelick and Herbs and Dunkin Donuts.
Though many students will miss the downtown desserts, Saugatuck Sweets' peak is yet to come.

The organizers of the TRAFFIC conference just announced there will NOT be any online bidding at the live domain name auction held at the conference.
Of course for many of the first domain TRAFFIC conferences there was no online bidding, but later shows had online bidding through either SnapNames.com or Proxybid.
It seems phone and even some sort of text bidding will be allowed, but it certainly will give more incentive to people to attend the conference when online bidding is not available.
Moreover the organizers announced they had reached the limit and closed off any more paid submissions for any domain with a reserve of less than $50,000.
Here is the announcement:
We are going to have to stop the paid submissions to the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Auction TODAY for any domain less than $50,000!
We have had a GREAT response but if we take any more, we won't have room for any of the domains we will be hand picking nor the premium domains we want to attract. So those that have contracts in your hands, you have until 5PM TODAY to get this done.
Opportunity comes in many forms and then Flies Away. This birdie is gone. And another T.R.A.F.F.I.C. idea will just be copied and then we will be told how bad T.R.A.F.F.I.C. sucks. Get the picture?
We will have NO online bidding.
To bid at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction you will either have to be there or will be open to PRE-QUALIFIED bidders with contracts and credit card on file 72 hours before the start of the show. We can handle up to 12 simultaneous bidders but have never had more than 4-6 on any one domain name. They will be given instructions 72 hours before the auction as far as call in numbers etc. Phone and/or text bidding only.
Each offsite bidder will have a total of 10 seconds to place a bid or not.
Once a phone bidder drops out or refuses to meet the current bid, he can not bid again for that specific domain and the contact is terminated. So the bidder is either in at each level, or not. This is going to be fast paced, exciting and different than previous auctions.
The Domain Industry runs right through the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Intersection and those that can't accept that just get left further and further behind.

|Session 2 - Communities of Practice: Success for All Learners through Equity (Online and co-hosted by LACC/Venice Skills Center and serving the Los Angeles area)
|12/2/2020 13:00:00
|12/2/2020 16:00:00
|This entirely online CoP incorporates both collaborative work (online in Moodle) and two live sessions (3-hour online workshop). This online training is being co-hosted by Los Angeles City College and Venice Skills Center. Equity and cultural competence are important aspects of creating a fair and equitable educational environment for learners. Adult education often serves marginalized populations that either have not had the opportunity to complete their education as youth or were not successful and perhaps not served equitably in the K12 public education system. Many school districts, colleges, libraries and community organizations have done significant work on addressing the issues of equity. This professional development module takes some of these concepts and applies them to adult education. Intended audience: Agencies are strongly encouraged to apply in teams of 3-5--including at least one program administrator, one instructor, and one front office student support services staff member-- in order to support their program in implementing what they learn and improving their equity practices.
|CALPRO provides professional development services to adult educators from California Adult Education funded agencies. There is no registration fee to participate. The training is intended to serve the Los Angeles area, specifically adult education staff from member agencies of the Los Angeles Regional Adult Education Consortium (LARAEC). Registrants from neighboring consortia within the area may be admitted on a space-available basis. Agency teams of 3-5 are strongly recommended, though not required, for this training, with each team ideally consisting of at least one administrator, one instructor and one front office student support services staff member Each individual member of an agency team needs to register. Group registrations are not permitted. Attend both live sessions. Session Dates: Wed., Nov. 18, 2020, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm and Wed., Dec. 2, 2020, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Registration deadline is Nov. 2, 2020. Notification of acceptance will occur by Nov. 3, 2020.
|In this session participants will be introduced to some basic concepts related to equity and begin to analyze how equity is achieved in their own programs. They will become familiar with the stages of cultural competence and consider a variety of program policies in light of it. Example lesson activities will also be analyzed.

The new Halloween movie, which is being described as a direct sequel to John Carpenter's original 1978 classic, is not quite ready to go. According to a new report, production is being delayed until early in 2018. From the looks of things, this shouldn't stop it from tearing through movie screens this Halloween season, with its planned release date of October 2018 still in place.
Directed by David Gordon Green, who co-wrote the script with comedy mastermind Danny McBride, this Halloween revival was supposed to kick off this past October. Cameras should already be rolling, but that's not the cast. Multiple sources have confirmed this to be true with Bloody Disgusting.
The movie is set to bring back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, the iconic hero of the first movie. She will be joined by Judy Greer, who is in talks to play Strode's daughter Karen. Apparently, there is still quite a few cast members that need to be found. And this is speculated as the cause for delay.
This casting delay is supported by a new casting call that went out in South Carolina via The Island Packet. The site confirms that shooting on the new Halloween movie is set for mid-January 2018. With such an early start, it's suspected that Michael Myers will still be making his big screen return on October 19, 2018.
It's expected that casting announcements will be revealed throughout the remainder of this year, heading into the start of production. It's never been clear if Danny McBride, who appeared in this year's disappointing sequel Alien: Covenant and wrapped up his run on HBO's Vice Principles just weeks ago, has given himself a character to play. But fans would love to see McBride face off against Myers.
If you live in the South Carolina area, you could be an extra in the movie. The production is also currently seeking real-life police officers, EMTs, nurses, CSI investigators and a coroner to lend their expertise to the horror project. The movie is being shot in Charleston, and applications are currently being accepted. All ages, from seniors to children, are needed.
John Carpenter, who created the mythos behind Michael Myers, has a heavy hand in this new production. He returns as an executive producer. And he has promised to deliver a new score for the soundtrack, utilizing some of the classic music he created for the first movie. The story is set to take place years after the events seen in the 1978 movie.
The plot will conveniently forget every single sequel that was ever made. And this movie is even changing what happened in the final moments of John Carpenter's Halloween. It is speculated that Lorie Strode will no longer be Myers' sister, an idea that wasn't introduced until the Rick Rosenthal directed Halloween 2. Bloody Disgusting have this as their synopsis.
"In Gordon Green's movie, Laurie Strode comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago."
Look for more details to drop soon. This should be one of Halloween 2018's biggest horror hits. And will likely revive the franchise for the better if all goes right. David Gordon Green is, after all, the man who managed to sneak Freddy Krueger into the indie drama Snow Angels without anyone noticing. So he still has a few cool tricks up his sleeve.

by Mad Rocket Scientist
It started off simply enough. When Bug was upset, I would hold him and quietly tell him, "It's alright, daddy's got you, Bug." No big meaning there, just a father saying something so his infant son would recognize who was holding him. I could have just as easily said "Supercalifragilistic Expealidocious" and achieved the same end. Still, it's what I said, and what he heard every time he was upset and dad came to make it all better. Saying it became habit.
Until one night, a few months back, as I held him and he drifted off the sleep. I kissed his head and quietly said it to him. He snuggled in to my shoulder, and in my ear I heard a quiet whisper, "Gotchu Daddy."
It's amazing how fast a heart can melt.
A few days later, while riding on my shoulders and getting bounced around while dad went skipping around the mall (in a very un-manly fashion, good thing my wife loves me anyway), I felt Bug slip a bit from his perch. I came to an immediate stop and got him secured back on my shoulders, while saying it. He replied by leaning forward to my left, wrapping his arms around my face, and saying in a breathless giggle, "I Gotchu, Daddy!"
It started to become a game, something we'd say back and forth to each other while playing or wrestling. I always started it, though. Until one day, out of nowhere, he tackled me and informed me that he did indeed have his father. Soon after, he started to do it to his mother, performing a flying tackle in an effort to avoid bedtime, and telling my wife, "I Gotchu, Mommy!"
Now, in the past week or so, as he approaches his second birthday (my God he's going to be 2 next month!), he's started saying it whenever he gives us a hug. We don't need to say it first, or be playing at the time. I'll be cooking and he'll just run into the kitchen, hug my leg, say "I Gotchu Daddy.", and as soon as I hug him back and reply, "I got you too, Bug," he'll go back to whatever he was doing before.
My wife isn't so sure, but I think this is how he says "I love you", and in a way, it's a perfect expression of the emotion, especially for a near 2-year old. What is funny is he never says love. He talks up a storm, and I know he has mastered the phonemes necessary to say love, but he won't. He's never not heard the word, from the moment he was born we've said it to him many times a day, as have the other assorted adults in his life, but to date he's never repeated the word. I don't care, however, because I'm pretty sure I'm right. This is his way of saying it, and I get it.

Guatemala will also relocate it's embassy to Jerusalem in May of this year.
Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales made the announcement during a speech at the AIPAC annual conference in Washington Sunday. He stated "In May of this year, we will celebrate Israel's 70th anniversary and under my instructions two days after the US will move its embassy, Guatemala will return and permanently move its embassy to Jerusalem."
Morales thanked President Trump for "leading the way. His courageous decision has encouraged us to do what is right."
Media reports surfaced of Guatemala's move following a meeting between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Morales in Washington on Sunday afternoon. The meeting was one of Netanyahu's first in Washington as part of his five-day tour in United States.
During their meeting, Netanyahu thanked Morales and Guatemala for it support of Israel and Jerusalem as its capital stating, "Thank you for everything you're doing, for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital." He added "I hope soon you will move your embassy to Jerusalem; we hope," to which Morales replied "It is an honor and it is the right thing to do."
Following Trump's announcement that the United States recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Guatemala followed, announcing in December that it would also move it's embassy to Jerusalem. During United Nations General assembly vote on Jerusalem following Trump's declaration, Guatemala was one of the nine states to vote against the resolution.

November 27th National Electric Guitar Day
The guitar has been around for next to forever, but it was normally used in small setting and as a chording instrument to accompany singers. When Jazz started featuring the guitar something was required to make it louder and the electric guitar was invented.
Work on the electric guitar started in the 1910's but it was not successful until 1931 when George Beauchamp and Paul Barth, of the National Guitar Corporation actually made a working model.
How to celebrate – Buy an electric guitar. (It is easier to play than an acoustic guitar) Learn how to play guitar. Listen to your favorite guitarist.

From the Chamber:
Here's a funny situation that could only occur in northwest Connecticut. Recently, I started a very early day, heading to Sharon Hospital for a meeting of the NW CT Health Council. All seemed in order as I listened to music, thinking I'd be early. Suddenly traffic slowed and I saw red lights, cars stopped, people waving and a large animal. From a distance, it appeared to be a deer — but they are so fast.
Instead, a beautiful, large cow was sauntering down the middle of Route 4. After an amusing delay, I was able to drive around the scene while others were jumping out of their cars to distract the frightened cow. Not sure anyone believed me but the guest speaker for the meeting confirmed my story.
We laughed – only in northwest Connecticut! Incidentally, the meeting was excellent because we discussed the barriers to employment in the healthcare field. Kim Lumia and Jill Musselman of Sharon Hospital and Kevin O'Connell from Geer illustrated their challenges. Rich Dupont, representing the NW Regional Workforce Investment Board, shared information on solutions to the issues that were described such as transportation, housing, childcare and availability of employees. We have invited Congresswoman Esty to the next meeting in November. Watch for details.
Yes, these are challenging times. Many are struggling and uncertain about the future. We are seeing closings, layoffs, dwindling resources, budgetary struggles, global competition and a general sense of doom and gloom. I have also talked to employers, large and small. Here are responses that are realistic yet positive and encouraging.
"These are challenging times and the most difficult task as a leader is to try and maintain as positive an attitude as you can around your subordinates, customers and other constituents. People look to you for reassurance, guidance and hope. It's not always easy to be optimistic and cheery but certainly necessary to insure continuing productivity."
"We have had to freeze wages and lay people off – and while employees generally understand because the economy is bad, it doesn't help morale. So we have looked for inexpensive but creative and meaningful ways to give them extra stuff out of the blue…like pizza party at lunch or surprise gift certificates. Important to recognize them."
"We take on many tasks ourselves, carefully analyzing and monitoring costs. We did not make any significant cuts to our advertising…we knew it would be important to let our potential clients know that we were still in business."
"While we are realistic about what we see, read and hear, we have tried to present a very upbeat and positive attitude…no one wants to work with someone who is gloomy and negative. We are all in this together and we must be supportive."
"Knowing that these are hard times, I need to be responsive more than ever to the needs of my customers. I come in earlier, leave later…I use the Chamber as a support, redirecting my activities and reenergizing to recharge the battery because it helps me on the job. Coping? Just trying to use my optimistic outlook knowing that is has never let me down. I actually went to visit a few local vineyards with my husband this weekend. Being out in the community remembering local businesses and enjoying their wares really takes you away from the hustle and bustle."
At the Chamber, we are unwavering in our efforts to find solutions. Please go to the website for the calendar for the next few months. It's packed full of positive, forward looking initiatives aimed at retaining and creating jobs. Whether it's Workforce Investment stimulus money for job creation at the Step-Up meeting on Tuesday, the Economic Summit on Nov. 17th or the Customer Service Seminar on Nov. 19th, we are unwavering in our passion for business, committed to turning this economy around.
JoAnn Ryan is President & CEO of the NW CT Chamber of Commerce. You can reach her by email: firstname.lastname@example.com or phone: 860-482-6586

If not the original messiah of Melbourne house, Will Sparks certainly deserves credit as one of the first producers to bring this sound to eager fans in The States. He, along with a handful of other Australian artists, have established their reputation on the refined grinds and brassy mids that have come to define the genre. Coming Monday, November 17th, Will Sparks will release "Bourne", the lead single to his Another Land EP, which promises to be an eight track adventure in all things Melbourne. In it you'll find a lot of what we would consider the classic style, some incredible variations on this theme, and at least one track where we hear a complete departure into a fluid progressive dreamscape.
"Bourne", today's premiere and an obvious homage to the genre's namesake, appears to combine many of the EP's elements into one. Throughout the track there exists the standard, almost ever-present mid line and offbeat bouncing bass, but these find company in a hyper-contrasting melodic break full of riveting and reverberating electro piano riffs. With this work, Will Sparks will be sure to remain on the cutting edge of this electro house subset, so check in on Monday for "Bourne", coming to you via Ultra.

I guess everybody has heard the old saying "the hair is a lady's crowning glory". I really agree with this quote. The truth is, hair can actually express your face. In a society where beauty and hair styles aren't constant, having a curling iron is really a necessity.
Waves are regarded as fashionable lately and most ladies are dying to acquire the most genuine looking waves that they can get. The solution to that issue is easy. Look for the ideal curling iron.
A curling wand is a very simple gadget utilised to curl somebody's hair. Visit the following website http://www.whatlizsaid.com to get a really good example of this. Such as other hair products for example hair dryers and hair straighteners, these types of wands are also becoming common. You will find different types of curling irons however the significant ones are the spring and the clipless curling wand. The spring type is very simple to use and it will not take a lot of your time. Hold the ends of the hair after this you rotate the barrel up and let it go; really straightforward, right? The only difficulty using this is that you will only be limited in creating similar sorts of curls. On the other hand, the clipless kind does that job. All you need to do is take a section of your hair, wrap it around the barrel and just slide the iron out and you will get a great bouncy curl! All you actually should have is the best curling wand and some guidelines and you are already good to go. Listed under are the tips on ways to find the perfect curling iron for yourself.
1. Selecting the correct size is very important
– When buying a curling wand, you have to get the most beneficial capacity. If you want large waves, get an iron containing a 2-inch diameter. In terms of making soft curves, choose a rather smaller sized iron which has a diameter of a minimum of one and a 1 / 2 inch. The barrel dimension is also important as the size of your curls will also rely on this.
2. Hair Type
– You must consider your type of hair. When it comes to different hair types, temperature is an important element. Frizzy and thick locks require higher heat so an iron can reach up to 410 degrees, unlike fragile, thin and normal hair need only reach as much as 150 degrees.
3. Check for features
– Some versions offer a couple of extra features although the beneficial types are only have the on/off button, a long swivel cable plus a great temperature range. You don't really must devote too much just because the curling wand features a lot more features for you to play with.
4. Barrel for Curls
– You really should pay special focus to the barrel as your waves will rely on it. Go for a polished ceramic barrel that contains tourmaline because that may reduce humidity from ruining your newly styled curls.
These include the essential things you must bear in mind if you are searching for the best curling iron. It only take a little of your time to look for the best types however I am quite sure it will be worth the effort.

LONDON — An attempt to oust John Bercow as House of Commons Speaker over his plan to block US President Donald Trump from speaking in Westminster Hall looks to be failing.
An early day motion of no confidence filed by Conservative MP James Duddridge earlier this month has received the signatures of just four other MPs, despite earlier claims that 150 MPs were prepared to back it.
Duddridge filed the motion against Bercow in response to the Speaker's announcement that he will ban Trump from addressing MPs and House of Lords members from Westminster Hall when the President makes a UK state visit.
Bercow then came under increased pressure after footage emerged of the Speaker telling students at the University of Reading that he voted Remain in the EU referendum and explaining the biggest issues facing Britain in negotiations.
Duddridge argues that Bercow's decision to take public positions on Trump and Brexit has brought his role as Speaker into disrepute. Parliamentary rules state that Commons Speakers must be impartial, even in retirement.
However, despite the MP for Rochford and Southend East's complaints, his attempt to remove Bercow has so far failed to make any real impact. Here is the list of MPs who have added their names to the motion at the time of writing.
As the picture above shows, the MPs behind the motion are all from Bercow's own Conservative Party: Andrew Bridgen, Daniel Kawczynski, Karl McCartney, Alec Shelbrooke, and Duddridge.
More MPs could come forward to back the motion later this week, the Times reports today.
However, the report adds that even MPs who initially agreed to back a motion are now cautious to do so as they do not want to become associated with a motion that is destined for failure. "People are very soft here. They are prepared to put their names forward if there is safety in numbers," a source told the newspaper.
Bercow also still has the support from many MPs in the Commons despite recent controversies.
Cross-party efforts to protect the Speaker from an attempted overthrow are already underway and MPs from Duddridge's own Tory party have publicly declared support for him.
Sarah Wollaston MP, who chairs the Health Committee in the House of Commons, said earlier this month that Bercow "discussed his personal views in private with students, hardly a crisis."
An attempt to get rid of Bercow in 2015 fell flat on its face when a majority of MPs blocked an attempt by then cabinet ministers Michael Gove and William Hague to elect Speakers by secret ballot.

The Dance
being part I of "Four for Sir John Davies"
by Theodore RoethkeIs that dance slowing in the mind of man That made him think the universe could hum? That great wheel turns its axle when it can; I need a place to sing, and dancing-room, And I have made a promise to my ears I'll sing and whistle romping with the bears. For they are all my friends: I saw one slide Down a steep hillside on a cake of ice,— Or was that in a book? I think with pride: A caged bear rarely does the same thing twice In the same way: O watch his body sway!— This animal remembering to be gay. I tried to fling my shadow at the moon, The while my blood leaped with a wordless song. Though dancing needs a master, I had none To teach my toes to listen to my tongue. But what I learned there, dancing all alone, Was not the joyless motion of a stone. I take this cadence from a man named Yeats; I take it, and I give it back again: For other tunes and other wanton beats Have tossed my heart and fiddled through my brain. Yes, I was dancing-mad, and how That came to be the bears and Yeats would know.
