How to Figure Out if Your Product Actually Solves Problems
This project could have been a complete failure…
It started with ambiguous requirements and competing visions from different stakeholders. But, this project taught me five valuable lessons along the way about the nature of risk and how to navigate ambiguity:
- Examine and call out your assumptions
- Validate risky assumptions before building
- Go back to first principles
- Research efficiently
- Create and tell stories
For context, the project in question is Shopify Flow, a simple automation tool that allows the most sophisticated Shopify merchants to build automated workflows that make decisions and take actions on their behalf.
Examine and call out your assumptions
In November 2016, 15 folks from Engineering, Product, and UX at Shopify Plus kicked off a project to build visual programming.
This felt like any other kickoff meeting. There were slides outlining the members of the team, and background on why this project was to exist.
The pitch? eCommerce Managers need and want the ability to customize commerce logic and workflows on their own to better meet their needs.
The project pitch sounded reasonable, but after a couple questions it was clear that our new project was coming from a place of, "We think this would be a great thing to build," rather than proven user needs.
Gut and vision have paved the way for many successful projects. But one of the best things our team did was to immediately identify that the concept underlying this project was our largest potential source of risk.
We decided to focus on researching the problem statement before heading into any engineering work.
Side note: As a product manager, this was maybe my 2nd month at the company, so identifying and calling out this area of risk was hard — but as you'll see in this post, it was 100% worth it!
Exploring our assumptions gave us a chance to recognize potential risk and build a plan to give us a higher chance of success.
We broke down the original problem statement into its core assumptions and discussed how we'd know if they were true. Here's how we unpacked our problem statement:
"Ecommerce managers have business processes that they want to automate with visual programming" breaks down into:
- Ecommerce managers… (Who are they? Do they exist as a persona with distinct requirements? Are they the person who might actually do this?)
- … have business processes… (What even is a business process? Does the ecommerce manager own them? How do these differ across different businesses? Different industries?)
- … that they want to automate… (Do they want to automate them? Are they already automated?)
- … with visual programming. (What's wrong with programming? Do they want a tool like this? Could they automate their processes using a tool like this?)
We did not have satisfying answers to these questions, which was a good clue that this was the right place to start.
How can you recognize that your project is based on assumptions?
1. Identify the root concept statement
2. Break it down into its component assumptions
3. Ask questions about the assumptions to see how well they're supported.
Here are some potential questions you may want to ask:
- What lead us to believe this is a good idea?
- What other concepts have we explored?
- Do we understand who might use this or why?
- Do we have research or data to support these claims?
- What have we done in the past that we might learn from?
Validate risky assumptions before building
After identifying that the core concept was the most risky part of this project, as is often the case with ambiguous projects, our next step was to find more concrete evidence to support or deny our problem statement.
Building and prototyping MVPs is a nimble way to test an idea when potential user value is the riskiest aspect. In the case of Flow, we did not yet know what to build or test because we weren't sold on our underlying assumption.
How do you know if you're ready to start prototyping and testing concepts? Start by identifying what you need to mitigate the greatest area of risk, and then figure out the best way to test that assumption. It's ok if prototyping is not the right choice.
For us, that was digging deeper into those core assumptions and heading back to first principles for some foundational research.
Go back to First Principles
To get on better footing, we used a hypothesis-based approach to quickly prove or disprove the basic assumptions we had identified as core to our concept.
To do this, we identified First Principles that together described the entire product idea. For each statement, we identified how to disprove them. Why? If we were unable to disprove our hypotheses, we could feel more confident in the core concept.
In Flow's case, we quickly realized that the only reason to build any level of visual programming for automation was if things to automate (in this case: business processes) existed and were highly differentiated. If every merchant wanted to automate the same processes, we should simply build those features for them.
So, armed with that knowledge, here's how we broke down our core assumption: Ecommerce managers have highly differentiated businesses processes which are not currently well supported.
Which can be broken down into:
- There exist ecommerce managers (This would be untrue if we couldn't find a role that was responsible for implementing business processes).
- They have business processes they can articulate (This would be untrue if they couldn't express or talk about "business processes").
And fundamentally we should build automation for these processes if:
- The business processes are highly differentiated (this would be untrue if we found that everyone was using the same processes).
- The current solutions are not good enough (this would be untrue if they liked their current solutions).
- They don't have the technical expertise or motivation to learn code (this would be untrue if they were already comfortable with code).
Rather than answering one large question, we could focus on smaller questions and then zoom out to see if they still add up to the whole.
After identifying the building blocks, we had a way to plan research to de-risk as much of the concept as we could in the fastest time.
How do you know you're going back to first principles?
- Have you identified important assumptions? — If they were true, would you feel confident moving forward? If not, what's missing?
- Can you break any assumptions into smaller parts? — If they're large, it'll be hard to tell what's true or not.
- Do you know what would make your assumptions false? — If you can't disprove them, you will be plagued by confirmation bias.
- Do any of these assumptions rely on each other? — Beware of ordering. You'll need to start with the most basic assumption before moving onwards.
Research efficiently
After identifying the basis of our risky product idea, we tried to disprove it as fast as possible using data that was already available. We'd only invest in digging deeper if we were unable to disprove them.
To start, we gathered what already existed from other research and feedback, and talked to user-facing teams to hear about patterns they identified.
After being unable to disprove our hypotheses with easily available data, we created a plan to fill in the gaps.
We gathered the broader team and brainstormed all the questions we had and all the things we wanted to know. We put them on a wall and clustered them into themes. Now we could see where research was most needed.
We decided that first we'd answer:
- Who are our users?
- How and why are they customizing their business processes?
- Does that work for them? What are the pain points?
Then we'd:
- Cluster use cases, look for themes
- Evaluate based on criteria
- Isolate a problem statement and initial use case to explore
We conducted this research with a combination of interviews, surveys, more detailed data analysis, site visits, and more.
Our research taught us that ecommerce managers did exist and did have differentiated business processes. We collected unique examples of use cases, and identified patterns in how they were expressed.
We learned tasks were accomplished today with custom code, off-the-shelf apps, and manual work. And none of those solutions were working well.
Our users were not all technically savvy — something important when evaluating visual programming as a solution.
These findings gave us confidence to move forward with the product concept, and helped us form opinions about how we'd approach design and implementation.
Most importantly? The concept itself was no longer the riskiest part.
Create and tell stories
We identified and mitigated another unlikely source of risk: buy-in. Because we re-evaluated the concept and came out the other end with an edited concept, we had to make sure stakeholders and team members were on the same page.
To mitigate this risk, our secret weapon was storytelling. Stories are essential for ambiguous projects.
Stories gave us a way to validate our ideas with people who had thought a lot about the topic already. If we weren't able to convince them of our plan, we had a chance to learn why and find out what we might be missing.
As a team, we told stories both informally and formally:
- Coffee conversations, presentations, meetings, and other face to face chats to pitch ideas and hear feedback
- Narrative about research findings which pointed people towards more supporting information if they were curious
- Narrative about the vision we were trying to achieve and why we thought it was worthwhile
To start, we told a story about why we were going out and doing research and what we were looking for.
We had key phrases that we repeated over and over again, like "If we see everyone doing the same thing, we should build that feature." or "If the processes our users want to automate are extremely complex, we will be looking closer to the code end of the complexity spectrum. If the processes are simple, we want to help them program without even realizing they're programming". These phrases evolved over time as we learned, but there were always clear and consistent themes we tried to drill into peoples' minds.
Typically the best and easiest story you can tell about a project is what most users will use it for.
We called this the "hero use case" — the powerful use case that expresses the ideal use of the product and the mention of which grounds teams in real user empathy.
Somewhat uniquely, our project did not have a "hero use case." One of our foundational concepts was that merchants would all use it in differentiated ways. We had to make clear that the project was inherently about the differentiation and not about the hero use case, and refused to give only one example in any context.
Stories gave us a way to validate our ideas with people who had thought a lot about the topic already. If we weren't able to convince them of our plan, we had a chance to learn why and find out what we might be missing.
Few projects are handed off in such a way that all information is transferred from the originating brains to the executing brains. This was a context we could use to pull more of that information.
We also got lots of new brains thinking about a complicated problem space. Being new in a company like Shopify meant many of us didn't yet know who we should collaborate with or who even had the information or data we needed. By telling compelling stories, we created a sort of distributed brain of all interested parties to think on our behalf.
Finally, we needed advocates. This was a project that wouldn't follow established patterns at Shopify and challenged preconceived notions about what it would do or look like. By telling our story early and often, we created buy-in at different levels and in different areas of of the company. We had advocates who not only clarified what others said about the project, but also cleared roadblocks and gave us space to experiment.
What do you need to consider to make storytelling your greatest weapon instead of biggest risk?
- What is the most likely failure mode for this project? How might you fail?
- What kinds of stories will help prevent these failures?
- Do you need to convince people of the vision, or of the logic behind it? Both?
- Do you need to counter old stories that might continue to come up?
- Do you need more help with finding places for collaboration?
- What's the right medium?
- How will you let people know when your stories have changed?
To be continued…
With a clear story and validated concept in hand, we were ready to explore how to build our solution. Originally, the riskiest part of our project was whether there was even a need for it. We tackled this head-on by identifying our assumptions, going back to first principles and validating through research that there was a great reason to create automation for Shopify Plus. Then, the risk became whether we could get buy in and shape conversations about this project. Now, our riskiest part was twofold: Could we actually express automation logic in a way users could understand, and could we build a system that would scale for the use we envisioned?
This is the first in a two-part series on how we built ecommerce automation at Shopify Plus. In the second part of this post, I'll explore how we went about building Flow and the lessons we learned from prototyping to launch.

I've been making mash ups with this software for about a year now, and as I increase the volume of samples in one project, my patcher, properties, and automation windows have become more complex. I've tried to stick to strict naming conventions and manually alphabetizing my automation window, LoopPlayers and Mgains, but my patcher properties window is still a hot mess. My girlfriend says it looks like Russell Crowe's tool shed in A Beautiful Mind.
Every now and again I need to change a property for a loop, but actually FINDING the node is just getting ridiculous. Is there a search function/way to highlight the properties of a node by selecting it in the automation window and vice versa? Any organizational tips (aside from getting a second monitor ;D ) for audiomulch are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I find it hard to believe that this is even an issue in a national election in a country with so many real problems and issues to debate and resolve. But it seems the punditocracy is all a twitter over Barack Obama's decision not to wear an American flag lapel pin, which apparently signifies much more than a break from political sartorial conformity. If you believe them, it's a rejection of the flag, the principles it stands for and everything that's good and American in the world. Apparently it means he no longer likes baseball, mom and applie pie too.
This issue originally surfaced last fall when Sean Hannity went on a tirade about Obama's decision not to stick a little American flag on his lapel. Although it seemed to have been laid to rest, it resurfaced this week during the Democratic debate when Charlie Gibson threw up a video question from a Pennsylvania voter about Obama's reasons for not wearing a flag lapel pin, just adding to the unpleasantly confrontational character of the debate questions, which seem to have been picked to balance out the impression that Obama received excessively favorable treatment in the last couple of debates.
Now I've got to make a terrible admission. I don't wear an American flag pin in my lapel either. My reasoning isn't that different from Obama's. I think it trivializes the flag as a symbol and is a cheap and hollow display of superficial patriotism which is a poor substitute for actually thinking about your beliefs. And you know what? I'm not going to wear a flag on my lapel at our state GOP convention and if I get picked as a delegate to the national convention I'm not going to wear one there either. I hope I won't be tarred and feathered for heresy.
I'm just sick and tired of the trivialization of issues like patriotism and love of country. These are deeply personal beliefs and tying them to simplistic symbols lessens their meaning. This ties directly into the debate over burning the flag. The people who want everyone to wear a flag lapel pin are the same idiots who want to protect the flag from being burnt. In both cases they seem to be incapable of telling the difference between reality and symbolism, and if that's the level of their thinking I question whether they are qualified to play any kind of decision making role in politics.
What's ironic is that these are also the same people who object to blue-jeans with flags on the butts, American flag jackets and other commercializations of the flag as wearing apparel. How those uses of the symbol are any different from a lapel pin is beyond my capacity for doublethink. The only difference is who happens to be wearing the flag and the conviction that the flag is being respected more if it's on a three-piece suit than if it's on a pair of cowboy boots.
I do wear lapel pins, by the way. At political events I usually wear several which represent groups I belong to. I don't wear an American flag because unlike the ones I do wear which advertise particular political interests which may not be well known, the fact that I'm an American ought to be stupidly obvious when I'm at a political event that's part of an American presidential election.
The level-headed Puritan leader Roger Williams once wrote "forced religion stinks in God's nostrils." Well, the same is true of forced expressions of patriotism, especially when forced by mindless peer pressure. Flag lapel pins don't have any meaning or value, except to express the wearer's eagerness to conform and to let meaningless symbolism speak for him rather than thinking for himself.
I know it's excessively judgmental, but when I see that flag lapel pin I tend to think a little less of the wearer and wonder if his patriotism and love of country goes any deeper than the surface of that lapel.

|deadening, desensitizing, benumbing, anaesthetizing, anaesthetic;
I've been listening to a lot of Brene Brown of late, she is a shame researcher and talks a lot about vulnerability, so much so she has a book entitled 'The Power of Vulnerability'. You can watch a clip of her speaking on the subject on Ted Talk here. I have now moved on to her book 'Daring Greatly'. The theme is still focused on vulnerability and I have just reached the part about numbing which I would like to share with you.
As I write this, it is my first fully sober weekend since Christmas. This shocks me a little and while I would like to say most of the time I have just had one or two drinks, the reality is I think I have drunk a little more than that each time. It sneaks up on you, suddenly it is March and you realise the weeks are passing and you need to make some changes.
Numbing is a common phenomenon and not limited to drug addicts and alcoholics. It's the things we do to 'take the edge off'. When we have that glass of wine after work to wind down, watching mind numbing TV, fantasy football or the sleeping pills we take before bed. We are numbing ourselves from reality. We are desperate to feel more or less of something. According to Brene, this comes from either shame, anxiety, disconnection or some mix of the three. Feelings of inadequacy, of not feeling good enough are a common cause.
I can pin point where mine is stemming from. I have a long held belief that I am not clever enough. It probably goes back to childhood, from having an incredibly intelligent father and brother and not feeling like I lived up them. In fact my mother is also very intelligent and my grasp of English and gramma are probably the level of a childs compared hers. I feel like I try to educate myself continuously and study various different subjects trying to feel smarter. I will have some facts in my short term memory for a while and enjoy sharing them when I get the chance but then they all seem to disappear. I know the information is in my brain somewhere as they can be triggered by conversation but I just don't seem to be able to recollect it at will.
So I not only numb the feeling of inferiority by having a few drinks, I also have an excuse for my brain not to work as well as I would like. I can blame drinking for my perceived lack in intelligence rather than the fact that I'm just not as bright as I would like. The other way in which I have been numbing via alcohol is that I have a reason why I am not achieving my goals. Wasting days hungover when I could be focusing on my business is the perfect way to avoid my fear of failure. Whole weekends can be wasted (which could easily be 16 hours of productivity). Not having time is a much better thing I can tell myself rather than I am just not good enough. I could write a book if I just didn't drink versus I don't think I can write a book. Pass me the wine!!
I have decided enough is enough and I want to change. This weekend has been sin alcohol and I've managed to write this so I'm already taking steps in the right direction. I am not going to go so far as to say that I am not going to drink at all, I don't want to be too extreme and I enjoy a drink sometimes but I am going to be more conscious of why I am doing it. Having a glass of wine for pleasure rather than escapism. I'm going to try to face my fear of failure head on. As they say, 'there is no such thing as failure, only feedback'.
Anyway, enough of this self indulgent spurting, I would live to hear your experiences of numbing, what you do and why? What are you numbing yourself from and are you ready to face it?

Customer Reviews
Excellent for meals out or to take on travels
Great little bag, will come in useful at the school I work in.
I was expecting a bit more than 1 car and a small book. It kept my daughter entertained for 5 minutes max. Its a bit pricey for what you get
Both my 4 year old and 20 month old like this but use it completely differently. We use it as part of a rotation of few grab and go activities for keeping them entertained while out. Only thought, Is that the book is a little small for small hands to manoeuvre the shapes, I was expecting an A5 or bigger size.

Indoor Track: McMahon's van der Els sets school's 3,000-meter mark at Yale Classic
Recommended Video:
NEW HAVEN -- In his senior year, Brien McMahon's Eric van der Els is definitely enjoying all the big stage has to offer.
Saturday afternoon at Coxe Cage, surrounded by some of the top high school distance runners in the country, van der Els captured third place in the 3,000-meter championship race at the Yale Track Classic, in a personal-best and school-record time of eight minutes, 28.80 seconds.
He was 20 seconds faster than a year ago when he finished 11th.
"Being able to compete with some of the top runners in the country is a lot more exciting," van der Els said with a smile. "I've started to get to know them personally, and it's just fun to race these guys."
Conor Lundy of Fordham Prep (N.Y.) was the top finisher in a new U.S. No. 1 time of 8:22.06, while La Salle Academy (R.I.) junior DJ Principe finished second (8:26.51). Van der Els' time currently puts him as the fourth fastest runner this indoor track season in the 3K.
"Running with these top guys in the country definitely pushed the pace," van der Els explained.
The McMahon senior, who is committed to run for UConn this fall, took the early lead for the first 400 meters or so, clocking around 64-65 seconds for the opening two laps. Van der Els was passed after that and never regained first position, but as the competitive race took shape, he was able to stay in striking distance with the lead pack.
"I just stayed relaxed for the first mile," van der Els said. "After that first mile I just wanted to go and catch as many people as I could."
Lundy and Principe opened up a sizable lead with about two minutes left in the race, but van der Els stuck with his strategy and moved into the third position to narrow the gap.
Van der Els, who ran at the mile at the Hispanic Games last weekend, will head back to The Armory in New York on Saturday where he'll compete in the mile at the New Balance Games. He said he'd love to go under 4:15 in the event.
Also faring well was fellow McMahon senior Daniel Linehan, who finished third in the Connecticut 300 (35.65) and sixth in the 400 (50.76).
Staples' James Lewis was fourth in the 800 (1:57.98) and part of the 4x400 relay that finished second (3:31.53).
On Friday evening, the Weston girls' 4x800 Connecticut relay team of Mimi Fellowes, Kathleen Murphy, Nicole Werner and Rhemi Toth won in a time of 9:43.79, while Staples boys placed fourth (8:13.44).
In the championship distance medley, the Wreckers finished in fifth (10:40.30).

Yorkshire Terrier Overview
The first Yorkshire Terrier, or "Yorkie" was known as Huddersfield Ben, and is thought to be the foundation sire of the breed. He was born in the late 1800s, and came from Yorkshire, hence the breed's name. Originally much larger to be used as a working dog, the breed has since been bred smaller as their jobs shifted from vermin control to companion.
Yorkshire Terrier Characteristics
This dog breed features a blue and tan coloration pattern combined with upright ears and long silky coat. Many are kept in a long "show style" coat, and may have their hair top-knotted to avoid it getting in the eyes. Many owners are now choosing instead a "puppy cut" which keeps the coat short overall, giving them a more youthful and shaggy look.
Yorkshire Terrier Temperament
Even as companions, Yorkies are tough and strong. They are both charming and lovable, packing a large personality in a small body. Yorkies are very energetic and will happily take on any challenge alongside their owners. Yorkies may also be very vocal and will alert their owners to any danger, real or perceived.
Yorkshire Terrier Care
This dog breed lives on average 12 to 15 years, slightly less than other toy sized dogs. Breed health issues include collapsing trachea, bladder stones, cataracts, distichiasis (eyelash growth issues), hypoplasia of dens, keratitis, hypoglycemia, portosystemic shunts, retinal dysplasia and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Many of these health issues are due in part to the miniaturization of breed size that has become so popular.
Yorkshire Terrier Coat
Yorkies that sport the long coat must be brushed daily to prevent it from matting and tangling. Professional grooming may also be required to keep the hair silky and trimmed neatly. Owners who choose to go with a puppy style cut make grooming much easier, however, it does still need brushing. Puppy cut trims may also be needed every few months to maintain the style.
Yorkshire Terrier Training
Yorkies love to be with their owners and this translates to them being eager learners. They do well with short, focused lessons. Yorkies however, may have a harder time becoming housetrained and thus require an owner who is both patient and persistent to overcome the issue.
Yorkshire Terrier Activity
Yorkies are a toy breed and thus need little activity to stay in shape. They love to be with their owners, and getting to travel along on any adventure is more than enough physical and mental stimulation for the breed. Yorkies, though small, are very adventurous and will happily tag along on any outing.

Usually, when we talk about abiding in Christ, we talk about all the things that we do. Those things are important—we can and should do everything we can to abide in Jesus day in and day out—but here lately, God has been reminding me of how much he does to help us abide. He does it for our good and for his glory. Because when we abide in Christ, we can't help but bear good, ripe fruit. Lots of it. And when our lives are both abundant and fruitful, we glorify him.
Back when my girls were in preschool, I was overwhelmed and struggling to keep up. It was my job to encourage others to read and understand Scripture, but in my personal life I could hardly manage to find time to read the Bible for myself, which made me feel like the biggest phony ever. Something had to give, and that's when Muscadine Press was born.

Fortin said that one of the most controversial deals is the selling of French arms on the DONAS contract. According to it, Saudi Arabia paid for weapons that must have been delivered to Lebanon.
"Part of the weaponry, which was delivered to Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners, were originally intended for Lebanon. Companies that created it worked under the DONAS contract," Fortin said. "In 2015 [the government] asked them to adapt their weapons to Yemeni conditions. Some of the companies were surprised that the weaponry they were creating would be used in the bombing of civilians," he added.

Despite the concerns, sounded by the human rights advocates and experts, no international committee has been created to analyze how such deals should be regulated under international law. A group of French members of parliament suggested creating a parliamentary committee to check the armaments supply contracts for the last three years.

According to Fortin, one of the main problems with the arms deals with Saudis is their non-transparency due to a large number of broker companies, although such practices will be banned in the near future. The Challenges media outlet has recently reported that one such company, called ODAS will be eliminated. It is controlled by the French government and military industry giants, and was used in deals between Paris and Riyadh.
"Broker companies in military contracts are an apparent problem, both due to the fees they take and their legal status, as their activities are highly non-transparent, as well as their contracts," Fortin said. "We know nothing of what was shipped in the annual report for the parliament, there is no information on the numbers and specifics of the weapons sold […] That is why the elimination of this company — is a good news," he added.

Marco Rubio continues to face questions over his commitment to serving a full six year Senate term and in a TV interview used an interesting choice of words to go just far enough without actually making a vow.
"I am committed to serving in the U.S. Senate and it is a six year term," Rubio said on WTVT. "The only thing I have said is no one can tell you for sure where they are going to be five years from now because things happen in life."
Patrick Murphy's campaign, which circulated the interview this morning, is hoping voters seeing through Rubio's words. To press the point, Murphy this week asked Rubio to sign a "Full Time Senator Pledge."

The weatherman was predicting up to 7"of snow overnight in SW Michigan and this meant snowfall on our homestead as well.
Thick and wet snow sticks to the burning bush at the pool shack.
I worked long past dark removing from the coop the last of the plastic waterers, 2″X4" chunks of wood I use to raise the feeders and watering cans off the ground. Everything was quickly stashed in the pole barn before they got buried under the snow. The final few chunks of pumpkin from the runs were tossed into the compost bin.
Our vegetable garden fence is layered with fresh snow.
Gene drained the water pipes on the studio and converted the water over to the house well. He covered the outside faucets with a styrofoam covering as a "better safe than sorry" effort. One year we had a broken pipe with water running under the fridge and all over the studio floor and that was a two-week nightmare!!
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep.
I took the 9 lb. organic chicken out of the freezer to begins its 5-day thaw for Thanksgiving.
Playhouse in the snow.
We were lucky that while we did have a couple of inches of a wet snow dusting, it is the wet quick to melt kind of snow. And best of all it was not enough snow to cover the driveway or sidewalks or have to be shoveled off. Relief!
The leaves at the edge of the meadow and woods.
We will be driving about an hour and half each way today to a family memorial so I was relieved that our plans did not have to change either.
The chicken condo complex under a light snowfall.
The chickens are not happy though. They came out of their coops and took a look and went no further. I spread out two large buckets of bark chips to give them a snow free place to hang out. They are all milling around the enclosed run areas and going in and out of the two coops and complaining.
Greeting from the Small House Homestead.
The long closed up in the coop and run season has begun.
Small House homesteader, Donna

The Serbian edition of the book "What You Didn't See" was presented at the ambassadorial residence of H.E. Jan Lundin. In his book, this former athlete and high jump world champion write about the sexual abuse he experienced as a child at the hands of his coach.
"In this way, we are drawing attention to the importance of protecting children from every kind of violence and abuse. This topic is very heavy, but also extremely important, and Sweden strongly supports the realisation of so-called "zero tolerance" towards sexual violence against children," said Ambassador Lundin.
The promotion to present the Serbian edition of this autobiography, published by the Incest Trauma Centre – Belgrade, was attended by Swedish guests Ulla Lemberg and Johanna Lindquist, who launched the "Change attitude" Foundation in 2011.

Laya Yoga: One of the traditional arts of yoga, Laya Yoga emphasises on meditation for bringing absorption of the mind in sound.
Laya Yoga is counted among highly recognised art of yoga forms. Practising this on a consistent basis establishes a link between internal peace and dialogue with self. This ascertains tuning between one's soul and universal energy. The yogic form is believed to have originated ages ago in the Himalayas, practised by yogis for disciplined living and peace of mind during those days of yore. The yoga form concentrating on mind's abilities and potential has also found relevance in the contemporary living style.
The word Laya has Sanskrit origin, which means dissolution or merging. The yogic art is also known as Kundalini yoga, as Kundalini energy is raised and is attained by deep meditation (dhyana). In this manner, laya yoga helps individuals to reach the level of supreme consciousness. Like any other yoga form, laya yoga begins with centred breathing and mild stretching exercises. Thereafter, yoga mudra is performed, which is again followed by relaxation exercise.
Laya Yoga Benefits
This highly-benefitting yoga form combines the beauty of meditation with the practice of sound for achieving the state of 'ananda', wherein one finds the highest level of happiness and immense peace. The practice calms down the nervous system as the sound of the body is concentrated upon. Primarily, it focuses on 5 main energy centres present in the spine and 2 in the head. Yoga of absorption provides peace, by overcoming difficulties and negatives. The practice could also lead to Turiya, known as the fourth level of consciousness.
Instructions for Laya Yoga
- Position yourself in Siddhasana mudra.
- Shut eyelids and lean upwards with closed eyes.
- Concentrate on the region between eyebrows.
- Close the nose and left ear.
- Listen to the external sounds through right ear. The sound will become prominent, clear and seem like pounding. Gradually, the sound you are listening will become soft.
- This increase concentration as mind continues to keep track sound without any distractions, which will deliver the calming effect.
- Keep going on with the practice until your body is at peace.
- Make practice part of daily regimen for receiving all benefits.

Mambo-Tox acquired by Cawood Scientific
UK soil analysis consultancy Mambo-Tox has been acquired by Cawood Scientific, in a deal advised by BCMS.
Mambo-Tox is a contract research organisation which evolved from a University of Southampton spin-out to specialise in soil ecotoxicology evaluation. Today, it employs 15 staff based in the city's university science park, serving a client base including some of the world's largest agrichemical producers.
Bracknell-headquartered Cawood Scientific, backed by Inflexion Private Equity since 2017, is the UK's largest independent provider of analytical laboratory testing services for land-based industries. Cawood's business units are variously involved with animal nutrition, veterinary diagnostics, and environmental monitoring services.
Along with the change of ownership, Mambo-Tox Managing Director Mike Mead-Briggs has now retired and has been replaced by veteran Mambo-Tox manager Stephen Vinall, with a brief to grow the business further and continue delivering a more personalised service.
Mambo-Tox shareholders were advised by BCMS, with legal support from Freeths. The price and terms are undisclosed.
BCMS Lead Advisor Emma Tipper commented afterwards: "The sale of Mambo-Tox was a highly rewarding result for our client, as we worked to get Mike the best deal amid strong market interest. The two businesses are a great fit together, and we are pleased to have found a new home for Mambo-Tox as a part of the UK market leader."

Sept 30, 2008 (LBO) – Sri Lankan shares fell sharply Tuesday pulled down largely by the slide in the two heavyweight telecom stocks on earnings fears as investors remained nervous about the local and global economy, brokers said.
On the Colombo bourse, Tuesday, foreign participation was less than yesterday with foreign sales amounting to 7.4 million rupees and purchases 31.2 million rupees.
Local sales amounted to 114 million and local purchases 90 million rupees.
Dialog Telekom, the most actively traded stock Tuesday, ended almost six percent lower, falling 50 cents to eight rupees with some half-a-million shares traded.
Sri Lanka Telecom fell 1.19 percent or 50 cents to close at 41.50 rupees.
Competition in the telecom market is intensifying while costs have been rising, leading to fears of lower earnings in future, as companies cut prices.
Brokers said investors were uncertain about the impact of Dialog Telekom's shift to per second billing, from billing per minute.
"The market does not have much confidence it will generate revenue," said a broker. "It may retain customers but it's bound to have an impact on the bottom line."
Distilleries Company, about which there has been concern because of the pending court case over the privatization of Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation, fell 3.46 percent or 2.50 rupees to 68.75 rupees.
Meanwhile, Touchwood Investment, a forestry firm, announced a one for one rights issue at sixty rupees per share.
The company said in a stock exchange filing that it aims to expand the acreage under cultivation and to introduce new timber species.
"This will necessitate clearing of land, planting and maintaining the new cultivation and the accompanying nursery operations, and setting up of laboratories to strengthen technical expertise."
Ceylon Theaters said it had acquired the 10 percent stake held in CT Land Development by subsidiary Cargills (Ceylon) as part of the re-structuring within the group.
It said in a stock exchange filing that it also bought the Cargills (Ceylon) stake in group firm Lanka Ceramic.
Ceylon Theatres said it also sold its stake in Cargills Quality Foods to Cargills (Ceylon).
The transactions meant that the entire holding of the Ceylon Theaters Group in CT Land Development and in Lanka Ceramic is directly held by Ceylon Theatres, the holding company, and the entire holding in the food and beverage sector is consolidated under Cargills (Ceylon).
The All Share Price Index fell almost two percent (43.27 points) to 2,142.26 while the Milanka was down 2.26 percent (55.43 points) to 2,397.19. Turnover was 122 million rupees.
The slide meant the market lost 14.1 billion rupees in value with market capitalisation down to 699.3 billion rupees.
Mohan Thangarajah of First Guardian Equities said investors remained worried about company earnings.
"Foreign funds were also selling out of blue chips and the bond market, which could lead to a weaker rupee that would also make their portfolios in local stocks worth less."
The slump in the Colombo bourse came as most stock markets around the world crashed Tuesday after US lawmakers unexpectedly rejected a multi-billion-dollar bailout of beleaguered financial institutions.
Most Asian indices closed sharply lower on Tuesday after a record plunge on Wall Street overnight.

A devastating spell of first half finishing by Sholing coupled with some pretty hapless defending by Khalsa meant the home side booked their place in the FA Vase Quarter Finals.
Sholing – unbeaten in 23 and winners of every league game played at their Universal Ground home this season – were two up within 20 minutes against Khalsa – enjoying a second chance in the competition after the result of the previous round was overturned.
Between them, Sholing frontmen Lee Wort and Dan Mason have bagged 83 goals and it was clear from this showing why.
Khalsa actually started the brighter in front of a 400-plus crowd as on two minutes Alex Woodhouse's freekick found Tes Robinson whose flick on almost fell to Leon Miles at the far post.
Sholing took the lead on 12 minutes, a wicked Alex Sawyer corner did not get cut out at the near post and Dan Mason had the easiest of tasks of heading in on the goal line. And Khalsa's defensive failings continued on 20 minutes when a long-throw into the box caused absolute mayhem, falling to Mason who rifled home to make it 2-0 and effectively break Khalsa's spirit.
Ten minutes later and it was 3-0, Wort rampaging down the right and firing a shot which Sam Arnold did well to block and – on days when fortune goes against you – straight back at the striker who, in fairness, did brilliantly to direct the rebound home.
It was almost even worse just before the break, TJ Cuthbertson really ought to have made it four for the home side as he arrived late into the box after a storming run down the left, screwing his effort badly wide.
Khalsa, to their credit, came back strongly in the second half but were unable to get the early breakthrough that might have made things interesting.
Mykel Beckley headed straight at keeper Ryan Gosney within four minutes of the restart. At the other end, Wort was put through and had his shot deflected wide by Robinson before Wort then misdirected a header wide from the resulting corner.
Dan Westwood then forced Gosney to inelegantly bundle a shot wide of the post and from that resulting corner he made a great stop to deny the same player when he shot on the turn. Mason had another bite at the hat-trick on 71 minutes, put through he forced a block from Arnold which again rebounded straight to the player but this time Sholing were unable to take advantage.
With ten minutes to go, Khalsa got a goal which few could deny was deserved. Substitute Alex Perry stooping to head home after Beckley's right-wing cross was tipped onto the bar by Gosney.
Khalsa couldn't make it count despite throwing the kitchen sink at the Sholing goal, indeed Byron Mason almost made it four on the break in the dying stages, only for a good save by Arnold to deny him.
Sporting Khalsa: Sam Arnold, Carlo Franco, Alex Woodhouse, Leon Miles, Tes Robinson (captain), Dave Meese, Liam Armstrong (Alex Perry), Mykel Beckley, Dan Westwood (Jay Holdcroft), Rico Taylor, Josh Thomas. Subs not used: Mensah Kinch, Shawn Boothe, Adam Osbourne.

AMAC announces publication of 'Who's Who in Social Security'
It's perhaps the most comprehensive and current reference directory of its kind
By: Association of Mature American Citizens
Weber said the book will be available early next month. The project to compile the reference work is part of the association'
"Funding for what is arguably the most important domestic government program ever implemented is being depleted at an alarming rate. In fact, the Social Security Administration admits that the Disability component of Social Security is in such bad shape that as early as next year benefits could be cut by as much as 20%. The remainder of the Trust Fund is expected to meet the same fate in less than two decades leaving future beneficiaries with some 25% less in their monthly retirement checks. It's a problem that impacts not just older Americans but younger folks who will need Social Security when they retire," the AMAC chief said.
The handbook is meant to be an all-inclusive directory of the key players who are pursuing a solution to the Social Security dilemma we face. "The material contained in this guide will serve to help point you to the people integral to the creation of any form of solution, and will serve to bring you up-to-speed on the many proposed resolutions currently in play on this subject."
It's intended to be an important reference work for lawmakers and government officials as well as those in the media who cover the topic, Weber said. The book will be available to them in print or pdf versions at no charge. Others seeking copies will be encouraged to make a contribution to the AMAC Foundation in order to defray expenses.
"As an action-oriented association, we put the well-being of our constituency at the top of our priority list, and we've been resolute in our efforts to get the attention of lawmakers and the general public while there is still time to develop the most sensible solution to the problem."

After writing the Eisner-winning Mister Miracle miniseries, it's fair to say Tom King knows his way around New Genesis.
Has it been a year already? 2017 has reached its end, but before we dive into 2018, we'd like to take a moment and look back. For DC fans, 2017 was a remarkable year in comics, film and TV.
The Justice League is great, but there is a whole slew of characters in the DC Universe outside of our good friends Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash and Green Lantern.
I have a confession to make.
Come with me, super friends! Let me show you DC collections that will launch you to the Fourth World, expand your mind to the 31st Century and bring you back home to your loving brother.
Have you ever had that feeling—I guess you could call it deja vu—where suddenly, for really no discernible reason, you start to wonder just why and how you got to the place you're in?

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- After 50 years, ITT Technical Institute is shutting its doors for good.
The nationwide closing comes amid several accreditation issues and after the Department of Education stopped issuing federal loans for the school two weeks ago.
With an additional requirement to keep four times as much cash on hand as they currently have, ITT Tech decided to close its doors. Nationwide, that means 40,000 students and 8,000 employees won't be headed back to class as planned next Monday.
Students and staff came by the Shadeland Avenue campus with questions Tuesday morning, pulling on the locked doors inside and out. All were visibly upset realizing no one was here with answers.
"This is all the work I did in one semester," said student Karen Vaccaro. "Lots of paper, lots of work. It's a real shame that this is going under."
Vaccaro says the news, at a time when she was trying to turn her life around, is devastating.
"All of these people are losing their jobs," said Vaccaro. "We're losing our hope."
Fellow student Antwan Dortch echoed that sentiment.
"I'm really just trying to figure it all out and process it all in the same boat without trying to just completely give up," said Dortch.
Most of the feelings of hopelessness center around the uncertainty of transferring credits.
"As I gave it all that I got, it got snatched from me," said Dortch. "It kind of hurt me to know that my kids' futures could possibly depend on this very action that just happened."
Dortch says he was just months from graduating. He's now one of the many scrambling to see what exactly will happen to their credits when they transfer somewhere else.
As of Tuesday evening, a spokesperson from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education says they heard from Indiana Wesleyan University stating they'll have a transfer agreement with ITT Tech and are willing to assist the state with displaced students. Details about how that will work are still being ironed out.
Vaccaro says she's depending on something working out to make a big improvement in her life.
"I have to find another place that will accept me, if anywhere, to do something," she said. "I was a waitress for 25 years. I can't do that anymore, I'm 58 years old. I need, I need education. I really do."
Former ITT Tech department chair reacts
Joe Daily served as an instructor and later the chair of the School of Information Technology for ITT Tech. He said he saw some success stories in the technology field but also saw some students quickly fall behind.
Daily said the current situation reveals there may be a problem balancing the requirements of being a for-profit business and offering up an educational experience.
"Some may call that an unholy matrimony," Daily said. "You have a for-profit company with goals to make, shareholders to answer to. On the other hand, you have the same company providing education services. There's a temptation there to squeeze out as much revenue as you can from any given sector."
Daily added there was an effort to get as many new students enrolled each semester.
"Sometimes those people were great students, "Daily said. "Other times, it turned out the school or some aspects of the school were not for them."
He said he feels for the students and employees. Businesses who depended on ITT Tech for skilled workers are also hurt, Daily said.
Help for students
The Indiana Commission for Higher Education says they are working with other institutions in hopes of facilitating transfers for ITT tech students. While ITT Tech credits may not be accepted at certain schools, they are looking into whether students can test into programs.
The U.S. Department of Education is scheduled to host webinars for ITT Tech students Wednesday at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. More information here.

It is an airport for model airplanes. There are some overhangs for model aircraft maintenance, and a small runway. Only one guy was flying today, but it was way cool. I would guess these airplanes have a wingspan of about 3 feet or so. Next time I happen to be out there I will photograph the whole thing. For today, it is just this one plane.
I love how there is a pilot in the cockpit.

At work, they call her "GP." At home, she goes by Mom.
As Mother's Day approaches, dozens of Delta moms will be celebrating with their adult children who also are Delta employees — like Georgia Pye, a Logistics Attendant in TechOps who's worked at Delta for 31 years. She never imagined that her coworkers would someday include her two daughters, Ashley Mosely and Amber Putnam.
"It makes me feel so great and proud, working together," Georgia said. "They're amazing young women, such hard workers."
Georgia, Ashley and Amber all work in Base Logistics, managing the supply and movement of aircraft parts from vendors to fix aircraft. Their workdays are as intertwined as their lives: Georgia and Ashley share the same shift, and Amber gets debriefed by her mom on the day's events when she starts work. The women pass each other in the hallways, email back and forth on the latest status of an order, and call when they have questions.
"Some people may not be able to work with their parents or children, but for us, it's a normal day. I'm truly grateful for my mom," said Ashley.
But Delta – and TechOps – run even further back than this trio of mom and daughters. Georgia's father, George W. Taylor, worked for the airline for 45 years as a manager and brought Georgia and her siblings to visit.
"We'd go see his work space, look at the planes in the hangar – I always told him when I get older, 'I'm going to work for Delta,'" Georgia said. "I did the same with Ashley and Amber. It was good exposure."
Ashley got her start in TechOps in 2011. She first noticed the diverse and welcoming nature of Delta.
"Delta invests in its people and gives you the resources to be successful and advance, but most importantly, it's a family friendly environment. You feel you're part of the Delta family."
Amber joined Delta three years after her sister. Watching her mom and Ashley dress for work in their uniform every day made her wonder, "Can I do this too?"
"They were both so supportive, Mom especially. She taught me everything I needed to know and it feels good to know I'm following in her footsteps," Amber said. "I was recently promoted to the same position she once had, and it was great she was able to see that up close."
Like their mother and grandfather before them, Ashley has brought her son to visit Delta and Amber plans to bring her daughter when she's older.
"My Mom sparked my interest, so I hope to do the same," Amber said.
Although they spend time together on a daily basis on the job, none is as precious as their Sundays when their families gather together, grill and play games. This Sunday – and Mother's Day – will be no different.

5 stars - I recently reached out to the Kaplan firm for advice and representation. I can't begin to express the quick action of Brad and his staff. I felt important and informed. Everyone kept me in the loop. I really can't imagine more personal service. I love the fact that they fought hard for me. It was a better experience than I hoped for. Brad cares!
