Success can be and is defined in many ways. We don't (as a general rule) like failure as human beings, and our school systems certainly have a low tolerance for failure. Yet failure is not only a pre-requisite for creativity, it is also required for "success" in virtually every context. This Michael Jordan advertisement for Nike is now at least three years old, but it still hits the mark communicating this point about failure and success in just 30 seconds.
H/T to Carol Broos for this link.
In his May 9, 2009, post "Failure Should Always Be an Option," Jim Klein wrote:
What we must never forget, no matter what circumstances are forced upon us, is that without failure, there is no success. We learn when we fail. We grow when we fall. Science is all about learning from failure, and failure is a key component of innovation, without which nothing would ever be tried.
This is especially true when it comes to technology. While we may pretend that there is truly such a thing as a "digital native", the reality is that kids are not more familiar with or better with technology as a result of their proximity to it. What they possess is a complete lack of fear, a willingness to try, fail, and try again – to innovate, explore, and discover. Often they achieve their goals, sometimes, they don't, but that's OK because the value of the exercise is in the process, not the result. There is more critical thinking and problem solving in one failed experiment than a thousand standardized tests.
Jim also shared the video "Famous Failures" in that post as well. As the video author says, "life = risk. If you've never failed, you've never lived."
I remember at the Air Force Academy we had to memorize something called "the five dynamics of goal setting." I don't remember all of them, and I may not be remembering these word for word, but the ones I can still remember are:
- Set high but achievable goals.
- Be realistic.
- Expect frustration *
- Persevere despite frustration.
I think it is important as we think about failure, success, creativity, schools, our own lives and the leadership we provide for others in our schools and communities, we should remember to also focus on DISCIPLINE as well as PERSEVERANCE. It's not enough to point out that people like Michael Jordan failed a lot. It's critical to see and understand they chose to live with discipline and persevere despite the frustrations in their lives, and that the lives which they have lived are therefore as much a result of their CHOICES as they are their genetic gifts or environment.
Life is hard. It is filled with frustration. Yet for those who persevere and choose to remain disciplined in the face of a world that may seem at times set against them, s/he can realize "success" unexpected in common hours. My verbiage here comes from a favorite philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, who wrote:
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Our definitions of "success" may evolve and change over our lifetimes, but our need to regard failure as a necessary, critical part of our learning journey will persist. Sharing videos like those above with our students can help them understand these ideas about success and failure. Encouraging others to persist in the pursuit of their dreams, despite the obstacles which stand in their way, is one of the most important roles we can play in the lives of our students as their teachers.
* Thanks to Mark McEahern for reminding me (via email) of "Expect frustration" in the USAFA-taught dynamics of goal setting. If you remember the others, please let me know!

Showtime's heavily promoted Edie Falco halfhour, "Nurse Jackie," kicked off season two Monday with a new ratings high, drawing 19% more total viewers (1.52 million combined in its 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. airings) than its season one finale.
The audience for "Jackie" was also 13% higher than the series premiere June 8. The 10 p.m. broadcast drew 1.08 million, and the 11 p.m. repeat added another 437,000.
Showtime saw some ratings decline from Falco and "Jackie" to 2009 Emmy-winner Toni Collette and the second-season premiere of "United States of Tara," which immediately followed "Jackie." In two airings, "Tara" attracted 1.17 million viewers, a number Showtime said was "on par" with the series premiere 14 months ago.
Full disclosure: Showtime has not acted on my idea, which I came up with just this second, for a "Jackie"-"Tara" crossover episode. But somehow I think the characters would hit it off.

Dominant Manchester City have successfully retained their Premier League title on the final day of an exhilarating 2018-19 campaign.
Pep Guardiola's side headed to Brighton's Amex Stadium on Sunday top of the table and a point clear of Champions League finalists Liverpool, who took on Wolves at Anfield.
With the pressure on, City, who trailed Liverpool by as many as seven points before beating their rivals in early January, came from behind at Brighton to seal a comfortable a 4-1 victory and with it the 2018-19 championship.
It is a fourth Premier League title for City – who also lifted the trophy in 2011-12, 2013-14 and 2017-18 – and a considerable relief after the lead changed hands more than 30 times during the course of a captivating race.
They are the first team to win back-to-back titles since Manchester United in 2009, while Liverpool amassed the most points of any runner-up in top-flight history.
Although knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage by Tottenham in dramatic circumstances, City will still have the chance to complete a domestic treble at Wembley next weekend.
The Citizens, who beat Chelsea on penalties in February to retain the League Cup, meet Javi Gracia's Watford in the FA Cup Final on May 18.

Asli Menevse
Ph.D. Student in History of Art
Asli Menevse's primary area of investigation is European visual culture during the 19th and early 20th centuries, with an emphasis on radical print culture.
Asli arrived in the discipline of Art History from an interdisciplinary background: a B.A. in Political Sciences and Sociology, and a M.A. in History with a concentration in the nineteenth-century Ottoman print culture. She then stepped into visual studies attending the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University where she received her second M.A. in Art History in 2013. Her methodology is informed by her interdisciplinary background, drawing from political theory, history, and philosophy, and the intersections of visual art with literature and politics.
Asli's current research aims to complicate the idea of monumentality through investigating the disparate moments and modalities of interplay between art and memory, and explores the visual culture of radicalisms in fin-de-siècle Europe and America. Her project is concerned with the ways in which art and visual culture are employed in the mobilization of memories of past political struggles in the service of new historical imaginations. By extension, she is invested in the material and psychological operations of the aesthetic that allow it to function as a realm where past and future can interact.
Asli's related interests include the appropriation and adaptation of 'fine arts' into popular mediums, political caricatures, and representations of labor movements in mass culture.

Unless we are pitching dry yeast, starters are built from a liquid yeast pack we buy from our LHBS or from a vial in our yeast library. Typically this is done a day or two before the brew so that the starter is healthy and at peak activity when pitched and can immediately start chewing through the wort sugars.
Coming up in four days is our first lager brew: a 1.093 OG (8.9% ABV) monster, with a fermentation temperature around 52 degrees. Since this is such a beast and fermented cold, a substantial starter of around 694 billion cells is needed, plus about 50 billion extra to stash in the library for next time. With this much yeast to create, either a multi-step starter or a massive one will need to be created. Generally, we'd like to avoid multi-step starters because of the time involved in cold crashing each step, and also having many more places for the starter to go wrong or be contaminated. This means the option we're going to pursue is a big 4.25 L starter.
The yeast selected for the Dopplebock is White Labs WLP833 German Bock Lager Yeast which should provide decent attenuation and a strong malty character. Since it's the first lager for Monocle, we want to have a well-balanced, easy to use yeast. The hope is to also use this same yeast for a future Pilsner and other lagers down the road.
The process for this is basically the same as with any other starter: heat water and DME, add yeast nutrient, and put it on a stir plate for a couple days. The difference from how we typically make a starter is from the large volume that we'll be stirring at once. Typically about 1/3 headroom in the stir flask is suitable to allow for krausen, but since there isn't a 6 or 7 L Erlenmeyer handy we're going to be making a "kettle starter" using a 2 gallon aluminum cooking pot. Since aluminum isn't magnetic, the stir plate has no trouble spinning the stir bar inside (this should be tested first with water).
The following equipment will be used:
- 2 gallon or greater aluminum kettle (or any non-magnetic flat-bottom vessel)
- Whisk
- Stir plate
- Stir bar
- Star San, lots of Star San (in a spray-bottle)
- Foil
- Scissors
- Disposable gloves
- Thermometer (way easier with an IR)
- Strong magnets (to attach to stir bar so that it can be kept somewhere)
- Bowl for Star San (put stir bar, scissors, etc. in here)
- Fermentation refrigerator (or semi-stable area around 70 F)
Also, the starter ingredients should be gathered up:
- 4.35 L water (100 mL extra for evaparation, spillage, etc.)
- 475 g DME
- 2.2 g yeast nutrient (strongly recommended)
- 2 drops Fermcap-S
- Yeast
A bowl should be filled with Star San solution and used to sanitize the equipment: stir bar, scissors, whisk, hands, and anything else that will fit into it
The kettle needs to be sprayed with Star San.
The work area should be cleaned up and everything gathered at hand that will be needed.
Making the starter
As usual, the BrewUnited Yeast Calculator was used and our starter recipe calls for 4.25 L water and 475 g DME. Additions will include a drop or two of Fermcap-S to prevent boil-over and 2.2 g of yeast nutrient. Use the calculator to figure out the precise amounts of water and DME for your own situation.
The water, DME, yeast nutrient, and Fermcap-S are put into the sanitized kettle and boiled gently for 10 minutes. After shutting off the heat, Star San is sprayed all over the kettle. A sheet of sanitized heavy-duty aluminum foil is used to cover and crimp as tightly as possible around the lip of the kettle to prevent anything from getting in or out during the cooling process.
Note: When making a normal starter, the Erlenmeyer flask is used to boil the starter wort and reaches temperatures sufficient to kill most things so pre-sanitizing isn't necessary. Since aluminum is a poor conductor, the top of the kettle will likely not reach temperatures hot enough to wipe out everything, so pre-sanitizing is a necessary safety step.
From this point on, Star San should be used liberally and disposable gloves worn. To cool the kettle, fill a sink about 1/3 of the way and place the kettle with foil cover gently into the bath. Every 10 minutes or so, change the water until about 100 F wort temperature is reached. Then, the same procedure can be continued but blue ice packs added to the bath to assist in cooling down to 70 F or 75 F for pitching the yeast. Care needs to be taken not to slosh the contents of the kettle or the sink too much.
It's also perfectly fine to leave it covered on the stove for hours until it's naturally cooled off, or put it into the fridge or freezer. The only thing to consider is that the faster you can get it to pitching temperature to put the yeast into it, the better. There are plenty of other microorganisms that would love to eat the sugary wort, so getting the yeast in there quickly allows them to dominate and produce alcohol which will also help fend off those other creatures.
Kettle Fermenting
Now that the wort is ready to have yeast pitched into it, the sanitized yeast packet needs to be quickly cut open with sanitized scissors and dumped into the kettle. Add a sanitized stir bar and use a new sheet of sanitized heavy-duty foil to cap off the kettle and allow for air exchange during yeast growth. Minimize the time that the kettle remains uncovered since that makes it more susceptible to a wild yeast infection.
Place the kettle on a stir plate inside of the fermentation refrigerator for two days at 65 F. Books can be used to extend the top surface of the stir plate so that the kettle doesn't tip over. You can also ferment just fine at ambient temperature (around 70 F +/- 5 degrees), just watch out for krausen overflow. This provided a good growth rate without being too hot which got the starter to full growth in a couple of days.
Note: If you get an overflow situation and it ends up being a mess, spray everything with Star San, get another sanitized container that can hold some of the starter, and pour some of it off. Let them finish fermenting without a stir plate and proceed as normal.
Once the yeast are done, place the kettle in a regular fridge for two days and decant the liquid once the yeast have settled out to get rid of the excess liquid. We don't want 4 L of weak starter watering down the rich Dopplebock wort! Make sure to spray the inside and lip of the kettle with Star San before pouring anything from the kettle. The remaining slurry will be warmed back up to pitching temperature, 48 F for the Dopplebock, before pitching into with the wort. Additionally, 285 mL of slurry will be separated and cold-crashed for the yeast library.
Final Thoughts
It's not really any more difficult to make a large starter in a kettle, other than some extra care must be taken to ensure that no contamination happens and you must be able to facilitate the complications from having a larger stirring container. It's worth building a yeast kit to make the starter building process easier if you find yourself making them often regardless of how large or small they might be. With a bit of extra caution, your yeast can grow happy and healthy to make some great tasting beer.

The cloud is the POS software host with the most
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
As a business owner, a crucial piece of the checkout experience is making sure you have the right point of sale for your business. For many retail merchants, having the right POS can save valuable time at checkout, creating an enjoyable in-store experience for your favorite people, your customers.
When it comes to finding the right POS, the functionality of the software can be a deciding factor. Cloud-based software has replaced bulky, expensive and almost obsolete servers, which allows SMBs to keep costs lower while getting access to more functionality. For most, it's important to look at each functional area and ask yourself if the integration pain is worth the gain.
In addition to being EMV-ready, it's a good idea to make sure your hardware is contactless-capable. Contactless payments could be adopted by the majority in certain regions in as little as five years. Making sure your hardware has this capability now isn't a large expense, and saves you from having to change the hardware in a few years.
Does the POS system you are considering protect sensitive data with solutions like PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE)? This is a significant differentiator as some solutions out there may not be protected with PCI-validated solutions. These solutions come with extra validation and security controls which help to reduce the PCI compliance scope required of each business.
Another powerful protector is EMV technology, especially when combined with solutions like P2PE. Make sure you're using a system that can accept this credit card payment type. The U.S. adoption of EMV, or chip cards, has substantially reduced card-present fraud. In fact, the major card brands are even eliminating the requirement for merchants to obtain signed receipts because transactions are better protected by technology like EMV.
Consider the following functions against your business needs:
Inventory management. Do you want a POS to track your merchandise so you know when it's time to reorder the fast selling items? It can also be crucial business knowledge to collect data on who is buying the popular items against the slower selling items.
Customer relationship management. In order to form relationships with your customers to generate repeat business, it's smart to know more about them. Tracking loyalty is important to your business. Customer management tools can give you data to track customer spending habits.
Transaction management. Do you want a comprehensive platform for viewing reports on your transaction data? Savvy businesses opt for transaction management portals, some of which are available to access on mobile devices that make it easy to check on your business from anywhere in the store or while away from the store. Make sure you find a solution provider with powerful transaction management tools that are easy to use so you can focus on other parts of your business.
Returns acceptance. Do you want a process to help keep track of returns and exchanges? Knowing more about the purpose of the return helps with your next inventory purchase.
Employee Management. Do you want to offer important time-tracking capabilities so employees can clock in and clock out? This makes sense for businesses with several employees.
Integration. Does it integrate with other areas of your business? For example, when doing accounting with QuickBooks, does the POS software easily connect? There are many other functions provided by your other business tools. During the acquisition process, check to see if those integrations are available. If you ultimately choose a more complex POS system, make sure you're comfortable with the level of support the provider gives you.
Pricing. Is pricing clear and upfront? Understand your provider's processing fees and interchange rates, ask about any potential hidden fees and make sure you know when to expect the bill.
Customer service. Don't overlook this area as your sales depend on quickly troubleshooting problems, especially during a sale. Does the retail POS provider offer accessible, helpful customer support? How are the customer service reviews online? Call the customer service support number before you become a customer. Test them out. How do they handle your call? Reviewing the software company's website allows you to quickly gauge the helpfulness of their customer support.
Processor compatibility. Is the POS compatible with your processor? Not all POS solutions are created equal or are compatible with every payment processor.
Ease of use. Is the POS intuitive enough for your employees to learn and use efficiently? Is there a learning curve for a more complex system?
Speed. Is the software and hardware quick? Remember the scenario at the beginning of the empty checkout line and speedy checkout process? If you want that to be the experience you give to your customers pay special attention to the speed at which the POS handles the sale.
After all this, you may find several great options or be filled with more questions. Don't forget about your peers. Many businesses like yours already went through this process. Maybe you won't ask your competition down the street, but trade groups associated with your business type are an excellent source of information because their membership spans the U.S. They can give you firsthand information about their system of choice and how it works for them. Sifting through reviews online and engaging with other merchants through social media networks are also great ways to find out what works for others.

Beijing, China, 30 August 2016 – On Saturday, September 3, runners from across the globe will participate in the China World Summit Wing Vertical Run 2016. Running enthusiasts have signed up for this exhilarating race, but vertical running powerhouses make up the elite category for this year's event.
Following the success of last year's event, this year's race has sold out once again as the momentum of vertical running is grabbing the interest of locals and over 20 countries' international athletes.
Beijing's tallest building has been selected as Official Race for the 2016 Vertical World Circuit (VWC), the world's premier skyscraper racing circuit uniting some of the world's most iconic skyscraper races, including the One World Trade Center in New York City. Runners participating in the VWC will be assigned points based on their result and the male and female competitors with the total highest scores at the end of the year will be declared world champion.
As one of the stops of 2016 Vertical World Circuit, Shangri-La's China World Summit Wing Vertical Run has 82 floors and 2,041 steps. The fastest runners are expected to reach the rooftop in less than ten minutes and break the record of 9'53. Other cities to join the VWC in 2016 are New York, London, Dubai, Paris, Manila, Sydney, Shanghai and Hong Kong. The elite runners from different countries will compete for a total prize purse of US$6,000.
Piotr Lobodzinski and Walsham to defend titles
Piotr Lobodzinski of Poland won last year's male elite division by setting the overall fastest time in 9 minutes and 53 second. Lobodzinski is the reigning world champion and favourite to win this year's Vertical World Circuit.
Australia's Suzy Walsham won the title last year, finishing in 11 minutes 52 seconds.
"We are pleased to be bringing the Vertical World Circuit back to Beijing for the 4th time," said David Shin, race director and International Skyrunning Federation representative. "This year, locals and internationals alike will take on the 2,041-step challenge and cross one of the world's tallest finish lines. We are excited to see if new records can be made."

The other day I found myself at a loss of what to write about in the upcoming week. I was tired from working my day job, came home to a house that definitely could use a little sprucing up, but knew I had personal commitments to my blog. I turned to the internet for a little inspiration: googled keywords I might normally use, topics I might normally discuss, etc… I googled the term "weird national holidays" and got the best list of odd holidays. I typically write about inspiring others to challenge themselves, and was immediately drawn to October 27th. Saturday, October 27th is National Make A Difference Day. This day is an annual community service event that is held on the fourth Saturday every October.
What I have found thru reading about this event is that millions of people have united in the common mission to improve the lives of others. It is actually an unofficial holiday or observance that highlights community service and volunteering. Why am I just hearing about this?? This is completely what I live to write about and be inspired myself by.
National Make A Difference Day was originally created in 1992 by USA Weekend when the paper suggested to its readers that since 1992 was a leap year people should take the extra day and use it to do something good for their communities or for those in need. The idea caught on like wildfire and has been celebrated ever since. Make a Difference Day has seen a great deal of support from various organizations throughout the years, and most recently has been transferred over to USA Today as its primarily sponsor and organizer. USA Today provides a central location for people to gather their information and report what they're doing locally to Make a Difference.
How you choose to celebrate Make a Difference Day are only limited by you. If you find that you are willing to contribute to the celebration, you can start the ball rolling by alerting people on social media, by using #MakeADifferenceDay when you post to the upcoming opportunity to make a difference.
There are so many ways to celebrate and contribute to make a difference. It does not have to be grand in nature. Any gesture made is a grand gesture. Here are 5 ways you can help the celebration:
There are hundreds of ways for you to change the world, or at least your corner of it. There are also dozens of organizations to contact who can help you get involved. Remember, your gesture doesn't need to be grand to make a difference. The smallest of gestures are priceless to the person whose lives you have touched. Remember, It All Starts with You.

Supermarket giant Tesco smashed records today by announcing profits of more than £2billion.
The company, which opened one of Europe's biggest supermarkets at Coventry's Arena Park last year, is the UK's first retailer to reach the milestone.
And its amazing success has been put down to a move into non-food area such as electrical products, CDs and clothes, with sales in the UK increasing by 17 per cent this year to more than £6 billion.
The firm now owns more supermarkets than any other group in Coventry. It has bought the former Big W site in Walsgrave and already has three other city stores - in Cannon Park Shopping Centre, Clifford Bridge Road, Walsgrave and Jubilee Crescent, Radford.
More than £29billion was rung up at the tills of the Hertfordshire-based group's UK supermarkets in the past year, it was revealed today.
Earlier this month, Tesco, whose slogan is "Every Little Helps", unveiled more than £100million of price cuts.
The company is targeting one in six of its 300 price cuts at the Value brand and has also launched a Valueline range of electrical goods.
The company, which was founded more than 80 years ago, has has been rapidly expanding with 1,252 stores in the UK as well as 586 international stores in countries including Hungary, Turkey, Thailand.
It is also planning to create 25,000 jobs worldwide this year, including about 11,000 in the UK.
Chief executive Sir Terry Leahy said the results showed the group's "new growth" business - its international, non-food and services divisions - had contributed as much profit as the whole business was making in 1997.
According to analyst AC Nielsen, Tesco's 30.2 per cent share of Britain's grocery retail market is almost double that of its nearest rivals Asda. Mike Watkins, of AC Nielsen, said strong trading in Tesco Extra hypermarkets had pushed its market share past the psychologically important barrier of 30 per cent.
Jeff Hunt owns alternative medical health shop Health Food and Brewery, in Mill Street, Bedworth, and is a member of the Federation of Small Businesses.
He said: "It's really reaching saturation point with every product you can imagine being sold at Tesco. This is at the cost of local businesses who are seeing their trade taken away, plus these stores have the unfair advantage of free parking.
"Local traders will have to put their prices up and they face higher rates and more legislation which is causing major problems.
"There's no level playing field." Suresh Chatralia, chairman of Far Gosford Street Traders' Association, in Coventry, owns Futon Bed Centre.
He said: "These superstores are cropping up everywhere, with the latest being the one by the new football ground. They have got too much of a presence but, as someone who has been in business for 25 years, I think this type of thing will backfire and Tesco will let some of their stores go, which is what Safeways did.
"I don't think it will have a direct effect on traders here because there is no direct competition for the type of business in this street.
"But I think the city centre is going to be deserted and that could have a knock on effect on business here.
"I think it's wrong that the council gives permission for these superstores to open up everywhere."

Article content
Western University president Amit Chakma emerged from a pivotal senate vote Friday intact but wounded with a significant number of faculty calling for him to resign.
Just under half the senate stood behind Chakma despite questions about his leadership and pay that vaulted the school into controversy.
But they did not do so without misgivings. Among 49 senators who opposed a non-confidence motion, the highly visible dean of its medical school, Michael Strong, is angry Chakma took double pay last year and deeply concerned the university had become a divisive place where money disproportionately flows to those researching science, technology, engineering and mathematics, while others go without.
"We share in the anger and frustration," Strong said. "We have a broken system. A university that is moving into haves and have nots."
Even stronger concerns were raised by the 30 senators who voted for the non-confidence motion and five more who abstained — a group a faculty leader says included deans.
How can Chakma seek funding at Queen's Park when he's become the public face of wasteful spending, asked Chris Brown, a classical studies professor. How can Chakma preside over a coming convocation of students where each receives a diploma?
"Are we going to ask our students to kneel before a man who has become a symbol of greed and entitlement?" Brown said.
Kevin Godbout, president of the Society of Graduate Students, said Chakma's supporters shouldn't consider the vote as an endorsement of his leadership.
"I don't think the (failed motion) says there's confidence in the president. It just says there is not non-confidence."
What Chakma thought of the debate, the result or his future isn't known. As soon as the meeting at the Ivey School of Business ended, he left through a side door away from faculty, staff and teachers and toward a waiting elevator, not even turning when a television reporter asked if he had "anything to say." "Nothing," Chakma said. "No."
But with so many senators voting against him or abstaining, Chakma may not have enough support to stay, associate professor Mark McDayter said.
"He might possibly want to think about the kind of moral suasion he now has over this university and the type of support he has going forward."
The head of the school's faculty association thinks he should resign.
"The right thing for Dr. Chakma to do now would be to step aside on his own volition," said Alison Hearn, president of the University of Western Ontario Faculty Association.
For the good of Western, Chakma should announce as soon as possible if he intends to stay or go, Hearn said.
Chakma has refused to be interviewed by media since March 27, when his pay deal turned up in Ontario's Sunshine List for 2014: He was paid $967,000, half of that his normal pay, and the other half for not taking a paid leave in 2015. A similar deal inked in 2013 would allow double pay in 2019.
His two deals were approved by a select elite of Western's board — several board members not in the inner circle say they weren't told Chakma could double dip.
After the first week of uproar, Chakma said he'd "refund" extra pay and not take a second double dose of pay in 2019 — but that wasn't the whole story.
At the start of the senate meeting, Chakma laid out his plans: When his tenure as president ends, he'll take paid leave, in essence, getting later the pay he's giving up now: His contracts entitles him to two full years of pay. Chakma said he'd then return to being a professor.
Chakma was the first senator to speak at the meeting and his comments were brief as he clarified he did intend to get paid leave after his tenure, but in the meantime, he wanted to find solutions together.
"I am committed to working with you," he said.
The senate also voted down a non-confidence motion for board chair Chirag Shah: 46 opposed the motion, 20 supported it and a big number — 21 — abstained.
The debate on Shah took sharp turns. Strong initially stood up and said he would vote non-confidence.
"This may cost me my job at the end of the day," he said.
But after others argued that Shah was being made a scapegoat for board decisions, some of which came before his tenure. Strong reversed himself.
Shah didn't attend the meeting.
There was drama even before the votes in Chakma and Shah about how votes should be tallied — the traditional way is by a show of hands.
Faculty argued that Chakma's administration had created a culture of fear that left many afraid to voice dissent for fear of reprisal.
"I've heard from people who won't speak out because they are afraid," language professor Jacques Lamarche said.
A motion to hold the Chakma vote by secret ballot fell two votes short.
That led to a backlash led by the president of the university student council, Matt Helfand, who called for a recorded vote, and accused senators of hiding behind anonymity.
"Otherwise, you are abdicating your duty," Helfand said.
But his push for a recorded vote lost by a large margin.
Somehow, the senate screwed up the pivotal vote on Chakma, with acting chair Jim Weese announcing 39 votes of non-confidence, a number Western PR later said was incorrect — the right figure was 30.
Just after the incorrect vote was announced, an audience member stood and shouted "What do we say?" with others yelling, "Resign! Resign!"
Faculty after the meeting said they were upset because security searched their bags and confiscated signs from protesters.
The non-confidence vote was the first observers can recall occurring in a major Ontario university.

"He made an honest mistake in his judgment. He needs to take a look at his leadership and it needs to change, but don't we owe him the opportunity to make that change?"
— Melanie Molnar, staff member in the faculty of education
"The fact that in a group with so many administrators, that the vote was so close, shows there are still very serious unresolved issues... I don't think the question of Chakma's confidence has been resolved."
— Professor Samuel Trosow

Canine clues to brain tumour discovered
Brain tumours in dogs are similar to human ones and could give clues to how the disease develops, scientists say.
A study of 25 breeds of dog, has identified three genes linked with a severe type of brain tumour known as glioma, according to BBC.
Future investigation may yield a better understanding of the causes and potential treatments of brain tumours in dogs and humans, researchers say.
Gliomas are very severe human brain tumours that are often incurable.
The disease can also occur in dogs, and some breeds, such as the boxer and bulldog, have an increased risk.
Genetic analysis of blood samples from dogs showed variations in three genes were linked with development of brain tumours in canines.
People have the same genes as the ones identified by the researchers in dogs.
Researchers in the consortium are now continuing the analysis of the genes identified, and their functional roles in development and progression of glioma in both dogs and humans," said co-researcher Katarina Truve.
The researchers were able to identify a stretch of genetic code that differed between diseased and healthy dogs.
"These results indicate that further investigations of the role of these three genes in glioma development would be of interest, with potential benefit to both dog and human," said Prof Karin Forsberg Nilsson, of Uppsala University, in Sweden, who also worked on the study.

Above and before all things, worship GOD! [Honor first the immortal gods, in the manner prescribed, and respect the oath.] Next, honor the reverent heroes and the spirits of the dead by making the traditional sacrifices. Honor your parents and your relatives. As for others, befriend whoever excels in virtue. Yield to kind words and helpful deeds, and do not hate your friend for a trifling fault as you are able. For ability is near to necessity.
The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.
From the moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father have been, and their parents and their parents before them. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole successful.
Avoid providing material for the drama that is always stretched tight between parents and children; it uses up much of the children
For the sake of a few lines one must see many cities, men and things. One must know the animals, one must feel how the birds fly and know the gesture with which the small flowers open in the morning. One must be able to think back to roads in unknown regions, to unexpected meetings and to partings which one had long seen coming; to days of childhood that are still unexplained, to parents that one had to hurt when they brought one some joy and one did not grasp it (it was joy for someone else); to childhood illness that so strangely began with a number of profound and grave transformations, to days in rooms withdrawn and quiet and to mornings by the sea, to the sea itself, to seas, to nights of travel that rushed along on high and flew with all the stars-and it is not enough if one may think all of this. One must have memories of many nights of love, none of which was like the others, of the screams of women in labor, and of light, white, sleeping women in childbed, closing again. But one must also have been beside the dying, one must have sat beside the dead in the room with the open window and the fitful noises. And still it is not enough to have memories. One must be able to forget them when they are many, and one must have the great patience to wait until they come again. For it is not yet the memories themselves. Not until they have turned to blood within us, to glance, to gesture, nameless and no longer to be distinguished from ourselves-not until then can it happen that in a most rare hour the first word of a verse arises in their midst and goes forth from them.
If you think you are truly enlightened, go spend a weekend with your parents [family].
One must be restless for God. If a son clamors persistently for his share of the property, his parents consult with each other and give it to him even though he is a minor. God will certainly listen to your prayers if you feel restless for Him. Since He has begotten us, surely we can claim our inheritance from Him. He is our own Father, our own Mother. We can force our demand on Him.
Call home at least once a week. It's a proven fact that we call home less the older we get. And that's wrong. It should be the other way around. As we get older, our parents get older.
I don't think we should discriminate against an organization or congregation because they're religious, if they're doing good work. But government can't subsidize proselytizing or worship or religious activity. It can't. I think it would be a great meeting for parents curious about what's going on to attend,
I like to remind them to be spouses and parents when they go home.
Good and evil are not what our parents told us, not what our church tells us, or our country, not what anybody tells us! All of us decide good and evil for ourselves, automatically, by choosing what we want to do!
But it's never too late, or too early, to be happy -- a message Carlson wants everybody to listen to. There is a big payoff to learning to be happier... You handle your parents better, you handle your peer pressure, you handle life in general with a lot more equanimity, and it just gets to be a lot more fun.
Are there any plausible ways in which genes might 'recognize' their copies in other individuals.'? The answer is yes. It is easy to show that close relatives--kin--have a greater than average chance of sharing genes. It has long been clear that this is why altruism by parents towards their young is so common.
If you have a faith, it is statistically overwhelmingly likely that it is the same faith as your parents and grandparents had. No doubt soaring cathedrals, stirring music, moving stories and parables, help a bit. But by far the most important variable determining your religion is the accident of birth. The convictions that you so passionately believe would have been a completely different, and largely contradictory, set of convictions, if only you had happened to be born in a different place. Epidemiology, not evidence.
In childhood our credulity serves us well. It helps us to pack, with extraordinary rapidity, our skulls full of the wisdom of our parents and our ancestors. But if we don't grow out of it in the fullness of time, our ... nature makes us a sitting target for astrologers, mediums, gurus, evangelists, and quacks. We need to replace the automatic credulity of childhood with the constructive skepticism of adult science.
It is a telling fact that, the world over, the vast majority of children follow the religion of their parents rather than any of the other available religions. Not the religion that has the best evidence in its favor, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity.
Natural selection builds child brains with a tendency to believe whatever their parents and tribal elders tell them. Such trusting obedience is valuable for survival: the analogue of steering by the moon for a moth. But the flip side of trusting obedience is slavish gullibility. The inevitable by-product is vulnerability to infection by mind viruses.
Some children act as if they thought their parents had nothing to do, but to see them established in the world and then quit it.
However painful the process of leaving home, for parents and for children, the really frightening thing for both would be the prospect of the child never leaving home.
I don't want to imply that it's uniquely American that people growing up have to come to terms with their independence and their separation to some extent from parents and from teachers. That's normal in any culture. It's that our culture pushes, emphasizes, and intensifies it beyond, I think, virtually any culture I know about.

As far as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is concerned, it is one of the robust technologies employed in molecular biology. The process helps in duplicating or increasing particular DNA sequence or any complementary template using oligonucleotides, thermal cycling, and heat-stable DNA polymerase. With every cycle, the amount of target molecules is doubled in a theoretical manner with the DNA exponentially improved. According to an article published on https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, several molecular techniques such as hybridization assay, biosensor detection, sandwich hybridization assay, and real-time PCR assay have been built. These methods are used for precise and particular recognition and assessment of marine toxic microalgae species. To learn more about real-time PCR, keep reading this article.
Benefits of real-time PCR
It is true that standard and real-time PCR have a similar process, there are many benefits of the latter. Here are the major ones:
Identify enlarged pieces: The first and foremost benefit is that real-time PCR helps in the identification of the augmented fragments during the process. The method gauges the product amount during the exponential stage. The standard PCR method, on the contrary, determines the amount of the product during the plateau stage. It is more beneficial to gauge during the exponential stage. That is because the measurements noted during the plateau stage fail to show the amount of the starting material.
Standard PCR is time-consuming: When it comes to standard PCR, it calls for post-PCR assessment and recognizes product through sequence or size. Though using gel electrophoresis is not costly, the process takes time compared to realtime PCRvs PCR. Moreover, the standard PCR is not automated. Besides, the process scores low concerning specificity because the molecules of similar weights are hard to identify. As far as gel electrophoresis is concerned, it is not asuitable option for endpoint evaluation or assessment for most of the lab processes or techniques.
The employment of probe hybridization is frequently employed for product characterization by sequence. The process is informative and dependable, but also time-consuming and costly. When it comes to ELISA detections, they too take much time. As far as real-time PCR is concerned, these problems are eliminated. When it comes to Amplicon identification, it is attained by keeping an eye on the accretion of particular products during every cycle.
The process performed in the same tube: The complete process right from amplification to assessment is done in the same tube. It differs from the standard process where the PCR item is shifted and influenced into different formats. Consequently, there is less possibility of polluting the product with real-time PCR techniques.
The applications
The applications include microRNA and non-coding RNA assessment, gene expression or mRNA evaluation, protein analysis, genetic variation analysis, and mutation detection assays.
Now that you know about real-time PCR, it is time that you study more about it in detail. The process helps to monitor individual responses as they occur in real time. It helps in measuring the number of Amplicon in every cycle. The process of detection is dynamic. If you have any more questions about real-time PCR, feel free to ask or comment.

strange_complex might like to note the amount of Handel in this (anniversary) season, including complete concert performances of Partenope and Samson.
kharin may also be interested in Prom 10.
My own moderately-long list is:
- Prom 1 - Yay! The Labéque sisters doing Poulenc's Concerto for Two Pianos but Aargh! Stephen Hough
- Prom 5
- Prom 36/37 - Handel's Coronation Anthems inter alia, followed by Philip Glass for a late night Prom
- Prom 44/45 - Fun with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, followed by fun with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
- Prom 46
- Prom 50 - Fidelio might be interesting
- Prom 51 - Haydn's "Clock" symphony and Brahms' Violin Concerto, though I'd prefer to see someone other than Joshua Bell (again)
- Prom 52
- Prom 54 - The Draughtsman's Contract, but it's another late night
- Prom 59 - I was very impressed with the Zurich Tonhalle when I saw them a few years ago
- Prom 63
- Prom 67
- Prom 70
ETA:I had missed The Silk Road Ensemble in Prom 75
There will be some refinement of the selection. These are just the ones that initially look interesting.
I also quite like the idea of doing Respighi's "Rome" works on consecutive nights, starting with Prom 29, but the rest of the programmes in those concerts aren't appealing enough for me.

Distribution Watch: GCI, Avnet, D&H Distributing
Happy Thursday everyone! This week in Distribution Watch we've got the latest information from our friends at Global Convergence, Inc. (GCI), Avnet (AVT) and D&H Distributing.
Happy Thursday everyone! This week in Distribution Watch we've got the latest information from our friends at Global Convergence, Inc. (GCI), Avnet (AVT) and D&H Distributing.
GCI: Global Convergence, Inc. signed a global master distributor agreement with Nuage Networks to offer the full Nuage Networks software-defined networking (SDN) portfolio to its global reseller ecosystem, according to the announcement.
Channel partners can also utilize GCI's ProvisionPlus global services offering to help them deploy Nuage Networks' solutions and speed enablement time.
"Our global distribution agreement with Nuage Networks further demonstrates our commitment to bringing leading-edge technologies to the channel," said Jim Bradshaw, CEO and chairman of the board of GCI, in a statement. "Nuage Networks' technology is the industry's premier SDN platform, and with access to this technology, our channel partners can now participate actively and meaningfully in a rapidly growing market."
Avnet: Avnet announced the launch of FSA One Frameworks, an offering designed to help accelerate the adoption of converged infrastructure solutions. FSA (FlexPod Services by Avnet) One Frameworks is a set of pre-configured and packaged integrated infrastructure racks that combine products and services from Cisco Systems (CSCO), NetApp (NTAP) and Avnet, according to the announcement.
FSA One Frameworks will provide partners in the United States and Canada with "a high-velocity sales motion" for quoting and shipping a series of pre-validated and pre-integrated FlexPod configurations. Each setup is designed to help channel partners speed up sales and complete solution registration, as well as to create more aggressive pricing through automatic price variance requests. Additional structured options for selling FlexPod open additional vertical market opportunities for partners, according to Avnet.
"FlexPod Services by Avnet was initially introduced to our partner community in May 2011, and FSA One Frameworks is a value-added extension of that original offering," said Jim Kebert, vice president of Avnet's NetApp solutions business. "Avnet's NetApp solutions team stands ready to serve our partner community in providing their customers with faster returns on their investments through the benefits of pre-assembled configurations, accelerated deployment and the reduced risk that comes with pre-validated architectures."
D&H: D&H will hold its 2015 Mid-Atlantic Fall Technology Show on Oct. 22 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where the company plans to host about 100 vendors and nearly 1,000 resellers and dealers.
Highlights of this year's event include a "Next Generation Computing" center aisle on the exhibit floor to illustrate the features in Microsoft Windows 10, along with Intel's 6th generation processing microarchitecture. D&H plans to provide special discounts for orders placed on the show floor to incentivize resellers and dealers to drive new business opportunities.
"This market never ceases to bring innovation and catalytic change to the information technology front. We use our trade events as a vehicle to keep customers on the cusp of this continuous evolution," said Mary Campbell, vice president of Marketing at D&H Distributing. "We're proud to offer training to help resellers learn more about Microsoft Windows 10 and the newly launched Intel processing core, giving them early strategies on how to turn these new developments into sales to build their businesses, and to deliver new benefits to end users."
That's all for this week, but we'll be back next time with even more great distribution-centric news. Until then, keep on distributing.

Rafael Payare makes his much anticipated return visit to the Wiener Philharmoniker this week at the Wiener Konzerthaus, and on tour in Riga and Vilnius. Giving his first concert on Friday, he will conduct a programme of Beethoven's Leonore Overture No.3 and Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra. He will be joined on stage by celebrated mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča for Mahler's Rückert-Lieder.
Following two performances in Vienna, Rafael, Elīna and the orchestra travel to Vilnius, where they give a concert at the Lithuanian National Opera on Tuesday. The tour will end on Wednesday at the Dzintaru Koncertzale in Riga, Latvia.
These concerts draw to a close a busy season for Rafael, which saw his acclaimed return visit to the Chicago Symphony, plus engagements with the Staatskapelle Dresden, Pittsburgh Symphony, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester and Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. In February, it was announced that Rafael will become the next Music Director of the San Diego Symphony from the 2019/20 season.
A regular visitor to Vienna, Elīna has recently finished a run of performances at the Staatsoper, where she made her debut as as the eponymous femme fatale in Saint-Saëns' Samson et Dalila. She opens her 2018/19 season reprising the role at the Metropolitan Opera.
Concerts take place on 16 and 17 June in Vienna, on 19 June in Vilnius, and 20 June in Riga. More information on the Wiener Philharmoniker website.

Allison Johnston and Mary Deupree are the principal designers and owners of Lander Lofton, a design firm based in Charleston, South Carolina. The firm's designs have been featured in national magazines, including Better Homes & Gardens and Cottage Style.
A native of Georgia, Allison is formally trained as a graphic designer, but she has transitioned her keen design eye mostly to interiors. After years of design experience, Allison's effortlessly chic style tends toward classic and modern, often incorporating colorful textiles, earthy textures, and natural elements with a Bohemian allure.
Mary's love for interior design began at an early age, tagging along to showrooms with her father, a retired furniture executive in her hometown of High Point, North Carolina. Mary actually holds a PhD in a field unrelated to interior design, but an inherent knack for combining patterns, textures, and colors led her to a career in interiors, where her education in history and extensive world travels well serve her clients. Mary has an affinity for thoughtfully layered spaces that incorporate antiques or cherished inherited pieces, but still feel fresh and functional.
Sought after for advice on fashion, interiors, and entertaining decisions, Mary and Allison turned away from previous careers when requests from friends – and friends of friends – became a full-time job. The duo opened their own design firm, Lander Lofton, in 2015 and is joyously doing what they love to do while each raising two young daughters, along with their husbands.

On Thursday, country superstar Carrie Underwood was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Underwood was accompanied by her husband Mike Fisher and their adorable son, Isaiah, 3.
Isaiah was all smiles for his first public appearance.
Since his arrival in 2015, Carrie has kept Isaiah out of the spotlight, posting very few photos of him on Instagram. The ones that do feature him are mostly hiding his face.
Last month, Underwood announced that she was pregnant with her second child. As for how Isaiah feels about being a big brother, Carrie recently told Jimmy Fallon, "I mean, he'll be really sweet and he'll, like, talk to my belly and kiss my belly. He's the sweetest little boy. But, I mean, no kid can really know that their life is going to change… He'll just have to share Mommy."

ESPN – Women's World Cup
I had the pleasure of illustrating 28 players from the 2019 Women's World Cup. I drew 17 players from the US Women's Team and another 11 from teams around the world. It was, as always, a great experience working with Rami Moghadam at ESPN. It was always my dream to work for them and I've been fortunate to work with them many times over the last few years.
A great challenge in these pieces was to get the kits as accurate as possible, with team logos, swooshes and stripes, shoes and balls. Laying out the large groups of players in the composition was a fun challenge as well.

How To Write Emails That Lead To "Yes"
Getting someone that you don't know to pay attention to you—and respond—is a delicate art. One that requires craftsmanship, charm, concision, and a lot of self-editing. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when composing an email.

Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy."
~ Norman Schwarzkopf
"Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership."
~ Colin Powell
"Leadership is the key to 99 percent of all successful efforts."

Located only a kilometer away from Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno is perfect for escapist-types in search of a true slice of solitude. Set in the middle of the three Gili islands, Meno is only two kilometers long and one kilometer wide, and can be traversed in under two hours by foot. There are no motorised vehicles on the island, and the most common way to get around is by walking, cycling, or via a cimodo (horse and cart). This sleepy little island is perfect for honeymooners and those seeking a more rustic, island experience.
Limited local infrastructure exists on the island, although you will find a small clinic and a local primary school. You'll also have access to basic services like ATMs, money changers and some internet cafes if needed. Electricity on this island is generator-supplied and sometimes prone to shortages.
Beach Combing
The beaches on Gili Meno are breathtaking, and the serenity here offers visitors a chance to really switch off and unwind. There are no hawkers on Meno to disturb your peace, but you can buy food and drink from the nearby warungs at your convenience. Spend the day swaying gently in a hammock with the latest page-turner or simply soak up the sun with an icy Bintang in hand. Thatched beach huts along the shore provide a perfect place of respite during the sweltering afternoons. The waters around Meno are calm and suitable for swimming, but we wouldn't advise venturing too far out.
Snorkelling is one of the most popular activities on the island and equipment can be rented on almost every corner. The Gilis are famed for their turtle population, so expect to come face-to-face with Hawksbill and Leatherback turtles. You'll also spot batfish, blue spotted stingrays, a variety of crustaceans, and vibrant hard and soft corals.
Bird Park
Gili Meno is home to a bird park with around three hundred species of birds in a natural environment. You'll see everything from peafowls to pheasants, hornbills, eagles, pelicans, parrots, to majestic macaws.
Turtle Sanctuary
The turtle sanctuary on Gili Meno consists of various tubs and pools filled with tiny green and loggerhead turtles who are nurtured before they are released at eight months old. The sanctuary has had a marked impact on the island's turtle populations and is definitely worth a visit for marine life lovers. If you're lucky, you might catch one of their regular releases.
Salt Lake
Nature-lovers shouldn't miss Gili Meno's saltwater lake. Located inland, this little ecosystem can be reached in a ten-minute stroll from the docks. Green and serene, the lake and surrounding mangrove forests boast an impressive variety of flora and fauna which can be enjoyed from the small wooden shelters that are dotted around the lake. Expect to see rare blue king fishers and an array of other birds swoop into the waters below.
Accomodation options on Gili Meno are not as varied as Gili Trawangan, though there are a variety of up-market choices if that's what you're after. Most accomodation in Gili Meno can be found on the east coast along the most picturesque beach. Go further inland and you'll come across some homestays and thatched bungalows. The luxury rooms on Gili Meno have air conditioning, hot water and all the amenities you'd expect such as a minibar, hairdryer and even a private pool. There are a few budget-friendly options lining the beach, fitted with fans and cold salt water showers.
Dining options may seem limited at first, but walk up and down the beachfront and you'll come across a fair number of places to satisfy your hunger and indulge in an afternoon tipple. All the beachfront cafes provide stunning views of the neighboring islands and you'll find everything from pizza to local Indonesian cuisine.

Flourish and Grace is based in Bristol but I'm happy to travel to venues and locations across the South West including Somerset, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds, Devon, Dorset and South Wales.
I'm passionate about creating inspiring floral design for weddings, civil partnerships, celebrations, events and workshops.
Below you'll find answers to some of my most frequently asked questions but please don't hesitate to contact me with any other queries or enquries that you may have.
- A bespoke and personalised service
- A free consultation in person, via email or over the phone/Skype
- An in-depth brief and mood-board to help you visualise your day
- Expert advice and guidance in choosing the perfect flowers to complement your vision for your big day taking into account your season, colour, style and budget
Can we meet to discuss the plans for our floral design?
I'm based in central Bristol and happy to travel to you (within an hour) or to meet half way. If you're local I can recommend lots of amazing coffee spots where we can chat about your floral desires!
If you're a little further away or knee-deep in planning we can always schedule a phone call, talk via email or arrange a chat via Skype.
What if I have no idea about flowers?
Do you have a price list?
As every wedding or event is bespoke I offer an individual, personalised quote based on the information you provde during our initial consultation.
A guide price list can be found under the 'INVESTMENT' tab which will give an idea of a starting price point for each arrangement.
Do your prices include delivery and set-up?
Yes, I always include delivery of the flowers to you at home or the venue on the morning of your wedding or celebration in your quote. I will also take into account the time needed to set-up any arrangements at the venue and also liaise with your venue regarding removal after the event.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes – I do ask for a non-refundable deposit of £100 to secure your date. The remaining balance is then due 6 weeks before your big day.
How far in advance do I need to book?
I take bookings for up to two years in advance. The most popular summer months often book up at least a year ahead so I would recommend contacting once you have decided upon your date to ensure the best chance of availability.
Last-minute cancellations do happen however and so it's always worth popping over a message even if your wedding or event is just a few weeks away!
Do you provide flowers for events other than weddings?
I also can provide a variety of floral workshops to create bouquets or flower crowns for groups of up to 20 people.
