You don't need to have a top-of-the-line lighting kit to make people look great on camera.
Obviously it would be super sweet to have a 10-ton grip truck with a crew of gaffers at your disposal, but we don't all have Lucasfilm budgets. And we don't all have hours to throw at elaborate lighting setups! But not to fear, because if you're making your own video, you can still look dapper without breaking the bank.
We went to Home Depot and spent less than $100 buying the essential ingredients for a basic DIY lighting kit for shooting an interview. While this is not the be-all, end-all lighting technique, it is an attainable and repeatable way to keep people on camera looking like humans.
Sure, you can go crazy with intricate lighting setups, or even use the fabled "3-point lighting" to create some shadows and modeling on your subject's face. But for business video, it's the "Wistia Way" to shoot interviews with flat and even lighting.
Light, camera, and subject placement
The goal is to eliminate shadows and create soft, flat lighting on your subject's face. Here's a diagram to help you set up your shot.
Be sure to keep the 2 key lights slightly above your subject's eyeline. The light facing the background will help to create contrast and hide the subject's shadow.
The equipment list
If there's one thing to splurge on, it's bulbs. Look for daylight balanced bulbs with a high CRI (color render index). This will help to produce the highest quality and most flattering light possible.
Home Depot:
- (x3) Clip Lights - $9 ea
- (x3) Daylight Color CFL Bulbs (buy different wattage options for flexibility) - $2.75 ea
- (x3) Spring Clips - $2 ea
- (x3) 12ft Extension Cords - $2.50 ea
- (x1) Package of Clothespins - $2.50 ea
If you want to save a trip to Home Depot, here are Amazon alternatives:
- (x3) Light Stands - $15 ea
- (x2) Rosco Diffusion Material - $7 ea
- (x3) Scoop Lights
- (x3) CFL Bulbs (note: look for daylight balanced "High-CRI" or "Full Spectrum" bulbs)
- (x3) Spring Clips
- (x3) 12ft Extension Cords
- (x1) Package of Clothespins

EI General Secretary calls for Action during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence
You will all recall that the 7th EI World Congress adopted a new resolution (3.1) on school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV). This resolution addresses one of the most pernicious barriers to the full enjoyment of the right to education in all regions, making it impossible for far too many schools and other educational establishments to be 'safe sanctuaries' for quality learning and teaching.
SRGBV commonly refers to acts or threats of sexual, physical or psychological violence occurring in or around schools and educational settings as a result of gender norms and unequal power dynamics between genders. It includes acts of bullying, sexual or verbal harassment, non-consensual touching, rape and assault. Although both girls and boys can be targets of SRGBV, girls are the most vulnerable; students, teachers and education support personnel can be both victims and perpetrators of such violence.
SRGBV is a serious threat to the achievement of the recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals (especially Goals 4 & 5 on education and gender equality, respectively).
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence Campaign is an annual international campaign coordinated by the Rutgers University-based Centre for Women's Global Leadership (CWGL). The 16 Days begin on November 25th (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women & Girls) and end on December 10th (International Human Rights Day). These symbolic dates were chosen to emphasise the fact that violence against women and girls is a violation of human rights.
More than 5, 179 organisations in approximately 187 countries have participated in the 16 Days Campaign since 1991.
The theme for this year's 16 Days campaign is: 'From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Make Education Safe for All'.
As the voice of educators & education support personnel worldwide, EI member organisations are key actors in tackling gender-based violence in and around schools and other educational settlings, and an important force for protection and change. We are, therefore, calling on all member organisations to get involved in this year's 16 Days Campaign, thereby leading efforts to raise awareness about gender-based violence in and around schools and other educational settings.
An annexe to this circular contains a call to action, which member organisations can use to support their activities over the 16-day period. Member organisations are also encouraged to visit the campaign organisers' website for tips on how to plan and organise 16-Day Campaign events, and for this year's campaign toolkit in multiple languages: http://16dayscwgl.rutgers.edu/2015-campaign/take-action-kit.

On 8 June the Armenian Government recognized eminent domain over the area surrounded with Abovyan and Aram Streets in Yerevan City. A multifunctional structure and an underground parking lot will be constructed in this area. The entire area will be improved, while engineering and technical infrastructures will be modernized and inter-neighborhood regulated road network will be established.
The area has been obtained by 'AVO F.M.H.' LLC - 70,000 m2 area subject to site development.
The deadline for this project implementation was set 30 December 2016, nevertheless, the process of property acquisition over several addresses hasn't been accomplished because of court litigations.
The Armenian Government having taken into consideration that the abovementioned court litigations have turned into an obstacle for the implementation of the town development project, reached a decision to recognize eminent domain over these properties to ensure the continuity of the project by recognizing the obtainer of the area 'AVO F.M.H.' LLC - the subject of eminent domain.

I need some hint and tips on this car: Renault Kangoo 1,5 DCI, modelyear 2007. Firing order 1-3-4-2. Delphi injection system, common rail
History; This car have been placed on a local Reanult dealer for about 5 month . The car stopped on the road and it was not possible to get the engine started again. The dealer have done some fault finding and used too much time on this car. The dealer told the customer to replace the harness of the engine, but the customer say no more faultfinding based on the metod: replace parts until it works.
The problem is still the same. After several month the custome ask me to do some measurement with my Pico Scope. At first I logged some fault codes pointing on fuel rail pressure. Measured the leakage on the injectors, injector syl. 1 was defektive. Changed the injector and now the fuel pressure rise to 307 bar using the starter motor. Now I though the problem was cleared an I tried to start the engine. No,no the engine don`t start , sometimes it fired and run rought for about 3-4 sec. It was still a problem, what now?? I "loaded" my wondeful Pico scope, my diagnostic computer and the first look sensor". Connected ch. A of Pico scope to the first look sensor (blue) and ch. B to the lead of injector no. 1(red) Cranked the engine and then stored the wave form on my computer. It seems that there can be something wrong with the compression on two of the sylinders. Timing belt, crankshaft/camshaft out of position? Or broken headgasket?
Will some of you please reply me and give me some comments?
Att. scope picture
Best regards

text: Postmaster general speaks at DMA conference Published on October 22, 2002. San Francisco--John E. "Jack" Potter, the United States Postal Service's postmaster general, told attendees of the Direct Marketing Association's 85th annual conference that the next postal hike will not occur until "well into 2004." Potter spoke at the general session Tuesday. He said he expects the USPS to record a net income in 2003, thanks to cost reductions this year and a rate increase that took effect in late June. He added that the Postal Service will meet with industry stakeholders in the next few weeks to discuss its "phased rates" proposal. The proposal is a key component of the Postal Service's Transformation Plan, which is a long-term initiative to make the agency more efficient. Phased rates would enable direct marketers to plan in advance for expected rate increases that would occur in smaller increments, spaced out over a longer period of time. "My goal is to enable you to accurately plan [your budgets]," Potter said. Most Popular In this article: BtoB

It's a Mystery: "After all is said and done, we're just dust"
The Glass Rainbow
By James Lee Burke
Simon & Schuster, 2010
More than once, James Lee Burke has been anointed the virtual poet laureate of southern Louisiana. William Faulkner's name is invoked when his prose is praised. In his Dave Robicheaux novels, he is, I think, the most articulate writer of crime fiction working today. This is why a new one is cause for celebration.
The Glass Rainbow, the 18th Robicheaux novel, finds Dave back home in New Iberia, Louisiana after his sojourn to Montana in Swan Peak (2008). Dave, Cajun to the core, a Vietnam vet, and recovering alcoholic, was once part of the New Orleans Police Department. He is currently a detective with the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Department. He lives along the Bayou Teche in New Iberia with his fourth wife Molly, a former Catholic nun, and his adopted daughter, Alafair, who is taking a semester off from Stanford Law School to finish a novel.
Dave is on the horns of two new dilemmas: a serial sadist is torturing and killing young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis Parish and Alafair has become involved, romantically and otherwise, with Kermit Abelard, a writer who is also the son of one of the region's most notorious robber barons, Timothy Abelard. He is a former defense contractor whom Dave sees as "a decayed vestige of the old oligarchy." On a quasi-professional visit to the Abelard compound, Dave catches the old man on his sunporch:
Timothy Abelard was reading in his wheelchair, canted sideways to catch the sunlight on the page, his entire person bathed in the rainbow of color that shone through the stained-glass windows.
To Dave, who knows better, he looks so innocent and above reproach. It is a moment that belies the skeletons in the Abelard closets:
There are moments in the Deep South when one wonders if he has not wakened to a sunrise in the spring of 1862. And in that moment, maybe, one realizes with a guilty pang that he would not find such an event entirely unwelcome.
An integral part of Dave's investigation is his sidekick and comrade-in-arms for over 20 years, Clete Purcel:
At one time Clete had been the best cop I ever knew…. But booze and pills and his predilection for damaged women had been his undoing, and he'd been forced to blow the country on a murder beef… Insatiability seemed to have been wired into his metabolism…. His courage and his patriotism and his loyalty to his friends had no peer. I never knew a better or braver man whose most dangerous adversary lived in his own breast.
Dave struggles to fit together the pieces of the puzzle in a series of seemingly linked investigations. There appears to be some sort of land swindle connected with the deaths of the young women. Dave presciently muses that the crime was
likely not involving Gulf oil, the traditional motivator of the greedy. The money was in offshore drilling, and to my knowledge, no new refineries were being built in Louisiana.
If not oil, what? As Dave digs deeper it becomes a certainty that the Abelards are in it up to their aristocratic, bloodstained necks. And he is up against a new breed of villains, including a group of hooded "cleaners"—black ops paramilitary men hired by corporations as assassins and mercenaries to sanitize crime scenes. Add to the mix Dave and Clete's recurring sense of vulnerability linked to their mortality—age rearing its ugly head—and you get time possibly ditching them in their endless war between depravity and decency.
Evil has many unexpected faces in The Glass Rainbow. Kermit and his ex-con friend Weingart put Alafair in grave danger. Dave's hunt for her is all at once an exorcism of the demons of grief, loss, fear, rage and vengeance. In the end, her survival is a triumph of innocence over iniquity.
The final pages of The Glass Rainbow are nothing short of apocalyptic. They unfold like a fireworks display, one fiery explosion after another in a seemingly endless exhibition of dramatic pyrotechnics. The writing is lush, lyrical, brutal, and beautiful:
The Abelards had paneled their sunporch with stained-glass images of unicorns and satyrs and monks at prayer and knights in armor that shone like quicksilver, turning the interior of their home into a kaleidoscopic medieval tapestry. Or perhaps, better said, they had created a glass rainbow that awakened memories of goodness and childhood innocence, all of it to hide the ruination they had brought to the Caribbean-like fairyland they had inherited.
Burke has never been so eloquent. He gives us a bravura conclusion in which the violence that has always hovered around Dave's life comes home to roost, possibly with far-reaching implications for the series. Not to be missed!

If you've been around me lately, you may already know the news.
I'm leaving my job at the end of January to pursue my dream of freelance! It is most definitely a huge leap of faith, and I have a lot of work ahead of me this month. Also big: I'm moving to Austin!
It's going to be really hard to leave my Waco pals, but I'm grateful to already have a community in Austin. Most cliché move, right? I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so…scared. Just kidding. I really just wanted to link to that Saved by the Bell clip. Yes, I'm apprehensive, as I have abandoned security and routine. But I have to at least try.
I have a lot of great things to say about Hole in the Roof and Waco, but I will give that a post of its own. For now I just want to give you this save the date because I need your help.
I am going to need clients. I'm still working on my portfolio, but I'll be sure to post it as soon as she's ready. I'm available for hire in February. Print, web, illustration, etc.
Also, If you are an Austinite, freelancer, high fiver, pie maker, creative cat, illustrator, fun-times-welcomer, totally not creative, but loves bloody marys, etc, let's be friends!
Thanks for all your support along the way. I've gotten more than my share of positive happenings this year, and it's because of those that I am brave enough to take the plunge. Exciting times ahead for us all!

(Reuters) – Swansea City became the first Welsh club to reach England's top flight since 1983 when they beat Reading 4-2 in an enthralling promotion playoff final at Wembley on Monday.
Two days after Barcelona beat Manchester United at the same stadium to win the Champions League, Scott Sinclair's hat-trick, including two penalties, and a Stephen Dobbie goal earned Swansea victory in a game worth an estimated 90 million pounds ($148.3 million).Swansea, who finished third in the Championship behind promoted Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City, swept into a 3-0 halftime lead with some Barca-like football but Reading roared back with a Joe Allen own goal and a Matt Mills header.

This past Sunday I was in Gurdwara and we were standing for Ardas. Narayan was whining about how he was tired, didn't want to stand, and was not really listening to me about being respectful. I then whispered to him how important it was to stand tall, still and pray. To remember those Sikhs who came before us and sacrificed a great deal to maintain the Sikh way of life. I realized he didn't really understand what this was all about, and that I had to start explaining more about why we do these different things (Specifically "Ardas"). Now that he is getting older (4-1/2) it is easier for him to understand spiritual things, and to relate to this all.
I whispered in his ear about the moguls trying to convert the Sikhs to Islam and all the torture that they committed on the Sikhs. His eyes lit up; he was interested. I told him later I would tell him some stories.
After Gurdwara I ran into my office and printed out a document which had an explanation of Ardas with pictures (by Prof. Onkar Singh, Phx.) and took it home with me. Since then every night before Narayan goes to sleep I have been reading a page or two of the stories from Ardas. Each time re-enforcing the concept of why we do Ardas. Narayan is especially intrigued by the torture parts. For some reason anything with blood/injuries/fighting/etc is very interesting.
Today I just finished the story about Bhai Mani and getting cut up at every joint. I looked at the next page and saw the picture of someone being scalped. Phew! Some heavy duty stuff when you think about what these Sikhs went through and how brave they were! It make you realize how easy we have it!
I am feeling my time coming to really start teaching Narayan about many of the Sikh concepts. In the past he didn't understand or relate much. I think now he is starting to understand more, so it is exciting for me to start sharing with him. This is new for me. This is my first time being a father…so it is nice to share these things which give so much more meaning as to why we are Sikhs and should live a certain way. It's also cool that he is interested in it!
I think as parents we just have to take the time to explain these things in a way that they can relate to and enjoy. Now that I started with this….I feel like flood gates have opened and there is so much that I need to start teaching him. Such is the life of a Parent right? All I know is that I want to do my best to instill the values of Sikhi in a way that he understands and appreciates. Then it is up to Guruji to guide him when he is older. I have seen many friends who used to be Sikhs but don't practice anymore. I try to keep a very open mind with this. Ideally I want Narayan to live the Sikh lifestyle. However if he chooses not to, my prayer is that he at least lives a conscious and spiritual lifestyle. It hurts to see loved ones throw it all away just to be a regular "Joe" and "fit in". I for one…like to stand out. I think Guru Gobind Singh intended for us to stand out, be leaders and protectors.
So much to learn and share as a parent. It's an interesting journey that I am on :)

One of America's most influential writers, Eudora Welty lived
for 76 years at 1119 Pinehurst Plaza in Jackson, before bequeathing
the house to the State of Mississippi when she passed away in 2001.
The beautiful, Tudor Revival-style house was built by Welty's
parents in 1925, and has since been added to the National Register
of Historic Places (in 2002), and declared a National Historic
Landmark (in 2004). Significantly, the interior of the house has
remained untouched; and visitors to the Eudora Welty house will be
given the chance to see exactly how this Pulitzer Prize-winning
author lived and worked - her books still line the shelves, and her
typewriter still sits on the writing desk by the window in the
upstairs bedroom. Included in the tour, is a walk around the
exquisite gardens that Welty and her mother cultivated over the
years. For fans of American literature, a visit to the Eudora Welty
house-cum-museum, is an absolute must.

"Promoting Scientific Reincarnation Research"
This section provides examples of reincarnation cases in process. They illustrate application of the five-factor, psychoplasm model.
Why do authors just write about the famous cases?
People often ask this question. The answer is simple. Most cases dealt with by researchers are people who are not historically known figures. However, as we attempt to identify all the aspects of the human personality that are possibly involved in reincarnation, we need to know as much about the alleged previous life-time as possible. Famous dead people usually leave behind more biographical information than the rest of us. With more comprehensive data we can be more confident that the correspondences between the two lives cannot be attributed to chance. However, on this site we will illustrate the research process with both famous and ordinary folks.
Cases will be posted here from time-to-time. They will be up-dated as research progresses or as we select cases to illustrate our hypothesis and research methods.
The first example below is a completed case for the possible reincarnation of Marie Antoinette. Read the summary of evidence below and a
of the book written about it by a Reincarnation Experiment associate: Marie-Alix Ravel.
Case of Marie Antoinette and Kiera Hermine
21st-Century Kiera H. & 18th-Century Marie A.
We use biometric ratios to compare the person living today with the alleged past life is facial geometry. The very small variance (about 1%) between the two images above is extremely significant statistically (with a probability of p = .000022) suggesting that the match is not a random connection. The odds are about 20 in 100,000 (or 2 out of 10,000) that such a small difference is due to chance.
With a high degree of matches in their personality factors, the odds of the two people having the same soul genome becomes much higher. As the overall level of validated correspondences increases, the level of confidence in the case becomes stronger.
In this case, if reincarnation is real, the likelihood that Kiera is the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette is very high.
Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) was born in Austria, married the future king of France Louis XVI, gave birth to four children, and was executed -- like her husband -- during the French Revolution. Kiera H. (1967-present) was born in France, married and divorced, and now lives with her daughter in California. The lives of these two women have more correspondences than space will permit us to describe. We hypothesize the reason for such similarities between these two women is that Kiera H. in the 1960s inherited the psychoplasm that also animated the life of Marie Antoinette in the 1700s. Large amounts of data for all the five factors, as well as verifiable memory and meaningful coincidence, are being evaluated and will be shared as the experiment continues.
Further Details
(NOTE: Conscious clues of connections between Kiera H.'s life and that of Marie Antoinette began at age 26 when a psychic spoke of a previous life. This caused Kiera H. to recall her nightmares as a small child that involved seeing a wheel on stones, several wooden steps, and a horrible taste of metal or rocks in the mouth and then nothing. She would awaken horrified, anxious and afraid of dying. The psychic suggested the dream was a memory of being guillotined. The subsequent 15 years of gathering corroborating evidence of this possible past-life connection has made it possible for her to consciously develop in new directions. She participates in this project to increase her understanding of the implications that she may have been born with Marie Antoinette's soul legacy.)
Reincarnation Experiment associate Marie-Alix Ravel is the author of the forthcoming book
Marie Antoinette's Present
Le Present de Marie Antoinette

Possible Landmark Case in Thomas Jefferson Cohort
One type of "near-miss" in past-life identifications is known by various researchers as a "landmark case." This means that some aspects of the person's physical appearance or personality and life appear to reflect those of a "key" previous personality. This may lead the present individual to feel an affinity for the "key" person. Also, a psychic or channel may tap into the general energy field of intimates around the "key" person in history and mistakenly label his or her client as the reincarnation of the "key" person.
This appears to happen quite often when a well-known, historical individual is the "key" person. This onging case involves an anonymous person (TW) who had suggestions from different psychics (and a personal sense) that he is the reincarnation of the soul genome of Thomas Jefferson. At TW's request, we evaluated the empirical evidence linking him to the Thomas Jefferson psychoplasm.
The core of the evaluation report provided to TW can be seen by clicking
A 21-year old, aspiring trombonist died suddenly in 1929. A boy was born 60 miles away 15 months later into a musical family. He was a precocious musician who became a nationally recognized trombonist in the second-half of the 20th century. When the case is fully evaluated and if the relevant parties agree the results will be published here.
Genotype features (face, body type and hair) are a close match, but requires further corroboration for high rating of match. Apparent inherited musical talent, and interest in the same instrument, suggests connection between the two lives. Personality-factor comparisons are being developed. Personal memories and specific carry-forward of knowledge or habits are being sought.
An Anonymous Case of Twin Boys
This case involves two, very-young twin boys whose parents and grandmother have become intrigued by the obvious similarity of a unique behavior pattern in each one. In this aspect one twin resembles his great-grandfather (who died long before he was born). The other twin exhibits a habit that no one in the family has seen since the death of this boy's great-father's brother (who also died long before this generation was born).
Generic Photograph of Twin Boys
One of the twins, from the time he began to walk, would sit with his left ankle resting on top of his right knee. While this did not seem abnormal in his family, the fact that he rubbed his foot just like his great-grandfather, whom he'd never seen, reminded them of their deceased ancestor. As the other twin began to actively engage with his parents, they noticed he turned his body at a peculiar angle and slanted his face pointedly toward them. The young boys' grand-mother (the daughter of their great-grandfather) saw this behavior one day and exclaimed "That's just like Uncle Joe used to act. He'd look at you that way to get your attention when he was really serious."
Following these incidents, several members of the family began to notice other behaviors that were reminescent of their now deceased elders. This case is under active investigation for the collection of evidence that may fall into the five-factor model.

MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. Unlike most other American Electric Power generating plants, Kammer Plant was not initially owned by the company. Its first two 210-megawatt units, placed into operation in 1958, were owned by the Ormet Corporation.
The plant, located on the Ohio River about 11 miles south of Moundsville, began in the midst of the postwar industrial boom, and since then it has served the community and its customers admirably.
Currently owned by AEP Generation Resources Inc., AEP's competitive generation affiliate, Kammer is jointly managed and operated with neighboring Mitchell Plant by Kentucky Power. Kammer is made up of three coal-fired steam generating units with a total net generating capacity of 630 megawatts.
The plant officially closed on May 31 and decommissioning activities have been in progress since then, as part of AEP's plan for complying with the Mercury Air Toxics Standards for existing power plants, approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in December 2011.
"I am really proud of Kammer Plant employees, present and past," said Mark McCullough, executive vice president - Generation. "The employees at Kammer have a long tradition of working safely, taking a disciplined approach to what they do, and, most importantly, caring for one another. They are an outstanding group of people."
At its peak, Kammer Plant burned 2.1 million tons of coal per year. The plant was built at its location to take advantage of the Consolidated Coal Company's Ireland mine located across State Route 2. As the years went by, the coal has come from various locations as the facility met changing environmental regulations.
More about Kammer Plant
The plant achieved a record run for all three units combined of 118.5 days from June 6, 1973, to October 2, 1973. From March 25 to Nov. 1, 2001, Unit 1 concluded a record run during which the unit produced electricity continuously for 221.2 days. That run exceeded previous plant marks of 205.3 days in a row by Unit 1 in 1960; and 205.2 days in a row by Unit 2 in 1973.
The plant has accomplished much more than dependably producing electricity. Over the years, plant employees have been involved in local schools, blood drives, United Way campaigns and other community fundraising efforts, local sports leagues, local firefighting and emergency services, and more.
"Kammer Plant and its employees have been proud stewards of our community for more than 50 years," said Dan Moyer, plant manager. "We appreciate the community and the support they have given us over this length of time."
Moyer added that Kammer Plant employees have taken great pride in providing electricity while protecting air and water quality, recycling materials and maintaining an exemplary record of public and work safety.
Kammer's shared grounds with Mitchell Plant include about 1,125 acres of meadows, old-field successional lands, wetlands and riparian forest formerly used for coal mining and industrial purposes that have been enhanced by habitat management activities laid out in a comprehensive wildlife stewardship plan.
The effort has included installation of wood duck, bluebird and bat nesting boxes, osprey nesting platforms and a 2.5-acre wildflower/butterfly garden, with employees working alongside government agencies, community and business groups. The Kammer-Mitchell site has been certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council.
"There have been ospreys nesting on our barge unloader structures at Kammer and Mitchell for years now," said Al Smith, energy production superintendent. "Even with the movement and noise from the operating of the barge unloaders, they continue to utilize the same nest areas. We also have red fox, geese, ducks, and deer that frequent the property.
"Kammer and Mitchell employees have always been dedicated to the environmental concerns of the surrounding wildlife and keeping the habitat areas intact," Smith said.

Kammer Plant held an open house and luncheon for current and former employees at the plant's learning center April 24. More than 150 attendees enjoyed reminiscing with good friends, good food, photographs of employees and scenes at the plant through the years, and plant tours. (See photos of the open house in the slideshow at the top of the article.)
Several retirees who attended the event started at Kammer at the very beginning, including:
Also attending were former plant managers Greg Massey and Wayne Irons, as well as Chuck George, who started his AEP career at Kammer and is now plant manager at Cardinal Plant. Plant managers through the years at Kammer have been Houston E. Crouse, 1958-1966; Cecil Shay, 1966-1978; Nile Richmond, 1978-1981; P.E. "Gene" Bischof, 1981-1995; Ralph Life, 1995-1999; Greg Massey, 1999-2001; Wayne Irons, 2001-2010, and Dan Moyer, 2010-2015.
Senior Generation management attended to recognize employees and retirees, including McCullough; Dan Lee, senior vice president - Fossil & Hydro Generation; Toby Thomas, vice president - Competitive Generation; and Jeffery LaFleur, vice president - Generating Assets, APCO/Ky.

Employers that recruit Ashinaga students and alumni will have access to a talent pool that spans four continents. Ashinaga students work in fields as diverse as engineering, medicine, policy making, and business management.
Improve employee satisfaction
Providing your employees with the opportunity to work and volunteer together for social causes is an effective and low-cost way to engage staff. It has been proven that satisfied, engaged employees work harder and have generally better health than workers without access to company-led volunteer programs. Organizations offering such programs generally enjoy lower turnover and increased sales compared to companies without these opportunities. Ashinaga puts on many events as well as marketing and fundraising campaigns in which employees can bond and work outside the office together.
Global networking
Ashinaga has developed and is continuing to grow a global network of leaders to support our programs.

Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (EXRP or ERP)
The treatment protocol that has been researched to be effective in treating OCD involves on average 17 hour and a half sessions focused on exposure and response prevention therapy. This treatment is very focused and structured and takes a lot of commitment from the client.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), developed by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., ABPP, at the University of Washington, is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment that was originally developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT has been found especially effective for those with suicidal and other multiply occurring ineffective behaviors. Research has shown DBT to be effective in reducing suicidal behavior, psychiatric hospitalization, treatment dropout, substance abuse, anger, and interpersonal difficulties.

The challenge for all enterprises - startup to established - is realistically forecasting expenses as well as revenues and then putting the post-merger-integration systems in place to optimize the performance of the organizations acquired by making sure, beforehand, that the talent will be put to its best use. JL
Cale Weissman reports in Fast Company:
Over the course of her four-year tenure, (Mayer) acquired more than 50 companies and spent more than $2 billion. (But) Yahoo did not have the system in place to cultivate the new talent and make them feel part of the new company. Yahoo has a bad habit of killing the products [it buys]. (And) Yahoo didn't have a systematized way of analyzing what a company is worth and whether or not the serious financial investment would lead to promising returns.
Though the writing has been on the wall for months—if not years—Yahoo has finally been acquired. Verizon has scooped up the company to the tune of $4.8 billion. For many, this is the beginning of the end of a years-long saga to fix a seemingly broken digital media company; Verizon says it will use the new assets to build a digital media empire. For others, it's just another chance to pile on the blame game for CEO Marissa Mayer.
All the same, there's one big question that hasn't quite been answered, and perhaps never will be: What exactly went wrong? While there are hundreds of facets to this broad question, there's one big strategy Mayer opted to take as chief executive: acquisitions. Over the course of her four-year tenure, she acquired more than 50 companies and spent more than $2 billion.
The idea behind the slew of purchases was that this was a way to source good talent and technology. If Yahoo took up numerous good startups, it could theoretically become a haven for smart, agile techies who would further the company toward its goal of being a technology leader. This, however, is not what played out.
The Bungling Of TalentAccording to John Sullivan, a talent management consultant who advises firms on recruiting strategies, this strategy failure shouldn't come as a huge shock. "Most mergers don't work," he says. Only a few big companies acquire smaller organizations successfully, and it's a very thoughtful process. "It's like divorced families joining," he adds.
The big issue with Yahoo was that it simply did not have the system in place to cultivate the new talent and make them feel part of the new company. "Yahoo has a bad habit of killing the products [it buys]," Sullivan says. "It doesn't make you feel welcome." A few examples of the dozens of startup products Yahoo bought and then shut down include MessageMe, Vizify, and EvntLive.
Many companies are simply not good at acquiring. Sullivan used to work at Hewlett-Packard, and he noted the stifling culture that often led to unhappy new entrants. To get talent to work well under new management, they have to be enthusiastic. The new company should look exciting—a place where they can continue to do their work. By appearances, Yahoo is likely not that place. Sullivan points to Facebook, whose campus is filled with perks like "a free ice cream store." Just the space itself, he believes, could likely energize new additions. Sullivan adds that Facebook's ethos is designed to build and innovate new products. In contrast, Yahoo's office and internal culture, says Sullivan, doesn't appear (from his outsider's perspective) to have that kind of startup excitement.
A Lack Of ScienceThere's another facet to this, too: The way Yahoo chose companies didn't seem to make sense. Acquiring new businesses costs a lot of money—much more than simply bringing on new developers. Senior talent at scooped-up organizations needs to be adequately compensated. Acquirers, then, should have ways to assess whether or not the investment is sound. Facebook, explains Sullivan, has a very scientific system of choosing which companies it will bring on, quantifying every hire it makes.
On the other hand, in Sullivan's view, Yahoo didn't have a systematized way of analyzing companies from afar—figuring out what a company is worth and whether or not the serious financial investment would lead to promising returns.
Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at NYU and founder of the activist hedge fund Firebrand Partners, added to this criticism of Mayer's company choices. He targets Tumblr, specifically. The decision to buy the blogging platform—which Galloway described as "basically a porn site"—is likely going to "go down as one of the worst acquisitions in tech." The company was bought for $1.1 billion in 2013. Today, Tumblr is valued at $483 million. In terms of the overall acquire-spree strategy, Galloway says that it's difficult to point out "a single acquisition that worked."
Enter VerizonWhat follows now is whether the Verizon purchase will be good for those inside at Yahoo. Galloway is hopeful; he describes the purchase as "great news for employees." Now the thousands of staff and hundreds of companies under the Yahoo umbrella will be led under a "board and management that appears to be sane and good operators."
Under this new parent company, we'll get to see if the talent will thrive. The key to uniting acquihires with their new bosses is making them feel wanted. The founders of the smaller companies are a way to gauge this, says Sullivan. When a company gets scooped up, employees look at how the heads of companies respond. If they're excited, that sends a message to the talent. "If the founder leaves," he says, "you're in trouble." What does bode well, according to this theory, is the bigger acquisition: Mayer plans to stay with the company in whatever form it takes.
More, this trove of talent—which has likely felt constrained with endless rumination about Yahoo's impending demise—must feel free to innovate. The task for Verizon will be to figure out a way to use the assets Yahoo has and make those creating these programs excited. "It's a special talent to integrate these people," says Sullivan.
Overall, this could be a new chapter for the ailing company. Galloway thinks this could be the beginning of something big. "Verizon gets real assets that have been so mismanaged," he says. "I think Yahoo's future is as bright as it has been in four years."
When all is said and done business-wise, a cultural shift will have to commence. And perhaps the talent-in-waiting will feel more allegiant. That's at least what Yahoo would like.

What does 2014 Grand Slam season mean for 2015?
NEW YORK (AP) — After nearly a full decade of Grand Slam finals involving Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic, Marin Cilic's victory over Kei Nishikori at the U.S. Open gave hope to others that there might be room at the top.
From now until the next major tournament, the Australian Open, begins in January, the discussion becomes about whether what happened in 2014 really signals a transformation in men's tennis. And, if it does, who might be next to elbow his way into the mix.
"I feel," Cilic said Tuesday, "the percentage got bigger for the rest of the guys."
Starting with the 2005 French Open, at least one of Federer, Nadal or Djokovic participated in 38 consecutive Grand Slam finals; two members of that trio faced each other in 17 of those title matches.
And that tiny, talented group combined for 34 of the championships in that span. The four exceptions over 9 1/2 years leading into this U.S. Open: Juan Martin del Potro's victory over Federer at the U.S. Open in 2009, Andy Murray's wins against Djokovic at the U.S. Open in 2012 and Wimbledon last year, and Stan Wawrinka's defeat of Nadal at the Australian Open this January.
That's it.
So what did someone such as Cilic, a 6-foot-6 (1.98-meter) big hitter with gobs of natural ability, think as he saw the same players collect the hardware time after time?
"That they are great champions, and it's going to take so much to break them and to break (into) the finals of a Grand Slam or to be able to win it," he told a small group of reporters between TV appearances in Manhattan.
"Last several years, it almost felt like you have to play incredible tennis in order to achieve that," Cilic said. "And I would say I was also a little bit lucky here. There was no Rafa. And I had a good draw. I didn't play Novak or Andy or those guys."
He did, however, win the last 10 sets he played at the U.S. Open, against four opponents who were a combined 19-5 against Cilic entering the tournament.
That included a straight-set domination of Federer in the semifinals, raising questions yet again about whether, at 33, the 17-time major champion will ever add to his total.
Nadal didn't try to defend his 2013 U.S. Open title because of his latest injury, this time to his right wrist.
Djokovic disappeared against Nishikori in the semifinals.
Murray, recently added to what used to be known as the "Big 3" to create what some consider a "Big 4," is still not quite up to the standards he was setting before back surgery a year ago.
Wawrinka's triumph in Melbourne left some, including Cilic, with an inkling that things were going to be different. So did Grand Slam semifinal debuts by Ernests Gulbis at the French Open in June, and by Grigor Dimitrov and Milos Raonic at Wimbledon in July.
"They are coming. They are there. This is good for tennis," said Cilic's coach, 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic. "This is a new, fresh breath of air for tennis, and tennis needed this."
After his loss in New York to Cilic, Federer was asked about whether the fact that there would be a U.S. Open final without him, Djokovic or Nadal meant something.
"You create your stories. You said the same in Australia, everybody; and then we know what happened at the French Open final, Wimbledon final," Federer said. "But this is another chance for you guys, you know. So you should write what you want."
He's right, of course. The title match at Roland Garros was Nadal vs. Djokovic, and the title match at the All England Club was Djokovic vs. Federer.
Which is why Cilic, who turns 26 this month, is certainly not ready to write them off just yet.
Nor should he be.
"I mean, the guys are going to still be there," Cilic said, looking ahead to next season.
"I don't know if some new guys are going to be Grand Slam champions," he said, "but for sure, I mean, guys like me, Raonic, Dimitrov, Nishikori, del Potro — when also he comes back (from wrist surgery) — I feel we are having a much bigger opportunity."

The first thing your customers notice and a major component showing the value your Company places on cleanliness and aesthetics. But typical floor finishes get dull and dingy in no time and can cause irritating little static zaps (when walking and pushing carts) distracting customers and reducing value while becoming a cumbersome, time consuming floor maintenance nightmare. Sapphire helps control static but more importantly provides the highest luster, lowest maintenance and longest lasting shine in the Industry period. Advances in the proprietary acrylic/urethane cross linking chemistry has made Sapphire possible. One try easily convinces the most discriminating floor care professional of Sapphire's unparalleled product superiority.
Diamond hard energy dissipating matrix allows burnishing to levels 30 to 40% higher than conventional high gloss floor finishes while providing hardness levels 80 to 100% higher than THE most advanced finishes! In addition Sapphire's unique ability to reduce tribocharging (user induced static discharge caused by contact and separation of a persons shoes or the wheels of carts against the flooring) has earned the Zap Stops Here award from United SCP. Unlike our ElectraGlaze Ultimate, ElectraSheen Sapphire is not recommended for use in electronic manufacturing where higher conductivity ESD control is an issue but is perfect for use in retail, hospitals, supermarkets and more. Sapphire provides superlative results on all types of standard resilient tile, vinyl composition, terrazzo, ceramic tile and sealed wood.

The DOJ is suing the Gallup organization for their polling methods.
The attorneys at Gallup who "blew the whistle" to the DOJ on Gallup are Democratic bundlers.
The lawsuit came after Axelrod criticized Gallup for their polling methods. [A warning?]
Some Gallup workers told the Daily Caller that they felt bullied by Axelrod.
Now the Gallup organization has changed their polling methods to include more cell phones, more minorities, and so on. Coincidentally, the changes match up to Axelrod's recommendations and this is right before an election.
It is very suspicious since Romney was leading and now he is not.
Polls do affect votes so this is a real big deal.

Orlando Julius - And The Afro Sounders
When Nigerian afro beat comes to mind, the name that typically comes to mind is Fela Kuti. But for true enthusiasts of the genre, composer and band leader Orlando Julius is held in the same regard as his more famous colleague.
By the mid-60s, Julius had already established himself as a bona fide star in Nigeria, becoming highly popular for his ability to marry traditional African rhythms with the bold arrangements and highly melodic sounds of American pop, soul, funk and R&B. Orlando Julius and the Afro Sounders, recorded between 1970 and 1973 in Ginger Baker‰۪s studio in Lagos, represents Julius working as a composer and producer with more creative freedom than his earlier recordings, recording 24 tracks with a close-knit group of musicians. The result is an album that stands as a testament to Julius‰۪ genius, and one that sounds just as good as the day it was recorded.
Traffic Entertainment Group, in partnership with Voodoo Funk, is proud to present Orlando Julius and the Afro Sounders in a new edition, with audio remastered from the original analog tapes and packaged in a hardback case book with extensive liner notes and vintage photography.

BioWare is set to reveal a new project at this year's VGA ceremony from a newly-christened internal studio. Naturally, our first instincts (or vain hope) were slanted towards a Jade Empire sequel, but a new leaked screenshot from Game Informer seems to put paid to that idea.
So, we're open to ideas. Vehicular combat in a post-apocalyptic desert setting? Please tell me that this isn't Mass Effect Kartz. We'll know for sure after the VGAs air on December 10th.

USA consumes 54% more energy per capita than OECD Europe. Should USA set a goal to reduce energy consumption by 12% at least by 2020?
If 1% of our population rode a bicycle to commute 4 miles each way every day to work, we would save 225 m gallons of gas/year.
The U.S. with 5% of the world's population accounts for 25% of the world's oil consumption.

Life to me appears as a long obstacle course, a course filled with events that ultimately define who you are and who you will become. The decisions you make at each obstacle will have positive or negative effects for the rest of your life.
When I was in first grade, I struggled with basic English skills. I did not have the opportunity to attend pre-school so I was very behind in my reading in my class. My teacher made informed my father of my poor skills. After realizing my struggles at school, my father and I decided to improve my English.
Everyday, from there on forward, we would practice reading my spelling words. We made flash cards and spent the whole week practicing. I would first try to learn these words and then we would place the words in an order to form sentences that I found amusing. This made it fun so I had a real interest to do it. After practicing for many weeks, I started to learn to read at a quicker pace. I also would read from a book with my Dad every night before going to sleep.
We continued the same approach during my second grade and I continued to improve. That year I took my first standardized testing and scored in the 20 percentile in reading. We continued to work hard in the third grade and my testing score improved to the 50 percentile. In the fourth grade, I improved to the 80 percentile and by the fifth grade, I was the top of my class.
Though I was too young to understand the significance of this period, the path that I took helped me become the person I am today. This experience has allowed me to become a person who perseveres and overcomes adversity. When I face adversity today or in the future, I know that if I continue to push forward with the help of family and friends, I can overcome any obstacle. In this I fully believe.

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a centuries old process, dating back to the early Western Zhou period of 1121-770 BC where treatments were developed to treat a variety of skin conditions and to combat the ageing process. It evolved alongside the traditional Chinese acupuncture.
Cosmetic Acupuncturists believe our face and skin are a reflection of our inner health. A combination of full body and facial acupuncture can be used to rebalance the body's energies, resulting in better sleep, less stress and better skin.
The Treatment:
This treatment is a safe and natural alternative to surgical facelifts or cosmetic procedures; it is a non-surgical alternative whereby very fine needles are placed into specific points on the face and body.
It is thought that inserting needles stimulates the growth of collagen proteins that keeps the skin plump and supple, smoothing out lines and wrinkles.
The Benefits:
- Muscle tone – Reduce fine lines and some deeper lines.
- Puffiness around the eyes – Reduce signs of stress on the face.
- Blood circulation to local areas in the face – Improve general health and vitality.
A course of treatments is generally recommended ranging from six treatments up to twelve treatments to achieve the desired affect. Each treatment will take between 60 – 90 minutes. Results may be seen following the 4th to 5th treatment.
Combine this with full body acupuncture treatment for a flawless, stress free feeling like all treatments the outcome cannot be predicted, or how long the effects will last, factors such as age and lifestyle will have a great effect on achieving and maintaining the results.

The latest person to be featured in the news is a young woman named Lindsay Lohan. Apparently, she had fallen on hard times, underwent some sort of treatment ("rehabilitation" you call it), and is now back in the public eye again.
Unfortunately, the public can be merciless – much like a mob of ne'er-do-wells in my time, ready to hang or punish on the slightest transgression. And Miss Lohan is now feeling the wrath of that unadoring public.
An unnamed internet writer, visiting Miss Lohan in her new apartment for an interview, reported that the place was very unkempt, with her clothes and possessions strewn everywhere.
I believe this irresponsible writer of gossip was just looking for any excuse to try and convict her, on the pretext that she had not been fully healed by her treatment. I say to him, do not judge others, lest you be judged yourself.
Of course, I have now also learned that Miss Lohan, after her appearance on the Oprah show, (where she declared she'd already done the party scene and there was nothing new there for her any more), was allegedly seen partying in Hollywood. Yet, in other reports, she also insists that she is sober. I suppose that, in light of our American judicial system's belief in "innocence until proven guilty," Lindsay is still trying to prove herself. The alleged episode was either:
- Proving she could go clubbing, resist temptation, and stay sober.
- Another Lindsay from an alternative reality – the "bad" Lindsay looking for trouble.
- Or, like myself, she was "time travelling" for some reason, met up with her previous self, and the whole club situation was something far beyond everyone's comprehension, for the moment.
However, I digress. As to the concern about Lindsay's disordered apartment, I don't think that is a cause for alarm, at least not yet. We really do need to give her a chance, and let things play out. We cannot always take things at face value, thinking that we know all there is to know about Miss Lohan, when in fact we can't.
As a side note, I should confess that I myself had a bit of a reputation for disordered household items. Although I preached "every thing has its place," the truth is (and John Adams will attest to this), my filing system (or lack thereof), and the ways I tended to leave things in a seemingly haphazard manner, could greatly perturb a more organized person (John Adams, for example).
So the moral of this story is, do not judge a book by its cover. Even a person like myself, whilst seemingly muddling through messy surroundings, can still manage to do great things.
Your humble servant,
