- What types of challenges are there in managing a talent community?
- Can you share a story of a time when the HR community has come together to accomplish something amazing?

These fused glass sinks, manufactured in Los Angeles, are amazingly gorgeous and each one is truly an original work of art.
Alchemy Glass has been crafting these studio made fused glass sinks for over 15 years in their Los Angeles factory. There is no pigment added to the glass or painting of patterns, by applying only natural elements, they have been able to create artistry for beautiful homes.
"Colors not only vary from piece to piece but also within a piece itself, depending on how the piece is lit and from what angle you may be viewing it."
Using a process in which glass is fused and slumped, it is slowly heated in an oven in excess of 1000 degrees, trapping a mixture of minerals and metals within the glass sink design. Alchemy Glass has perfected this process over many years of trial and error; of cooling and heating the glass to create complete works of art for homeowners.
Passionate artists, the Alchemy Glass Studio takes two or more weeks to complete a glass sink from start to finish. Each extraordinary sink is truly a one of a kind design, as the natural processes of heating the glass and mixing in the additional elements cannot be controlled by the artists, only influenced. These "Art for the Bath" sinks are definitely worth waiting for!
Belmont Hardware is inviting their customers and design clients to stop by and see their complete display of Alchemy Glass Sinks, available in their San Jose and now the new Belmont decorative plumbing showroom.

The Benefits Of Gold IRA Investments
Are you about to retire quickly and thinking about your future? Are you considering of where to invest in? I would prefer to share with you the rewards of gold IRA investments. These are in my opinion a much better option should you have the cash to chip in and get some. I'd rather you get them than a normal investment anyplace else. Why do I say that? Nicely retain reading to have the full scoop.
Now you could be asking what a 401k to Gold IRA Rollover is. Nicely it is actually generally a person retirement account exactly where gold is stored as opposed to paper currency or paper-based vehicles. So let me begin by saying that I believe paper assets are usually not as steady as precious metallic assets. In the event you do a easy Google resource, you'll discover numerous articles that talk about how paper assets have a tendency to sway based on what happens in the world's economy and political atmosphere. Basically, from time to time they go up and from time to time they go down. Now that is not correct with gold and valuable metals. The worth of gold and valuable metals has been increasing steadily. Thus, it would undoubtedly behoove you to obtain some precious metals and place them into your retirement account.
Now in addition to that, paper assets are literally just paper. Valuable metals however can are available in quite a few many shapes, forms and sizes. You may have metal bars, and bullion. That is certainly a fairly popular form in which you'll be able to invest in. On the other hand, precious metals also can be discovered and integrated into other goods including electronics, medical supplies, and chemical products. Now if you are familiar with provide in demand, I think you'll understand that these goods which I pointed out earlier will probably not dwindle in demand, so as a result, you realize that you just will most likely be within a position to profit ought to you invest in gold IRA.
Lastly I'd also prefer to mention that precious metals have withstood the test of time and have already been performing properly even inside the midst of inflation. That cannot be said for paper stocks. I'll give you an illustration. Inflation may cause the stock marketplace figures to crash and hit all time lows whereas inflation has only triggered the price tag of gold to raise to whopping amounts.

Ombudsman Receiving 1,000 Gripes A Day On PPI
. Sections across the now are UK, 631 branded as TSB of Lloyds TSB's 1,931 The most convenient approach to get the fast quid you'll need! This could have a number that you could call to check that you simply just only do desire to transform as well as to get sort code and your account number. LloydsTSB will ensure that any existing standing orders or direct debits going from your account are sorted out. This means that about pay you will have to be amended in the event you possess a small business account. The brand new TSB business account holders will shortly be sent new debit and credit cards.
In the nineties Lloyds changed their newspaper statements to an atrocious layout that forgotten the advice one genuinely desired (it was printed in an 8 pt font as I remember) and was faulty in other means. The statements tell you things you have to understand, unlike the latest attempt that aren't jazzy or noisy and is Lloyds. So its just the poor private customer who gets this, and after that maybe only online. The SBA did not provide default rates for the loans.
LBG says that these will work in the exact same style as before, along with the stipulations of the card won't have changed and customers may have received a new TSB Pair Avios credit card in June. You should utilize this change as a method to check whether you're receiving the best deal with TSB or Lloyds, and also to contemplate changing elsewhere. They could allow you to finance company assets which are essential - to thethat from a fresh office building.
I find them just about okay, a fustrating thing has occurred twice as it regards the internet banking - when you develop a fresh payee they sometimes do not appear for over a week not the 4 working days they say (which is fustrating waiting that long). I truly do not really care if you ring if he did it would be a break or not. I got into debt with Lloyds TSB several years past. You pay additional for medical condition update cover and excess waiver.
In case, using automated payment tools like Faster Payments or through internet banking you often make trades - at ATMs - the Firm Banking Electronic Tariff might be a significant better option than choosing Business Banking Additional or a Monthly PricePlan. Their Business Credit Card is a technique that's straightforward for you keep to the very best of business expenses also to manage cashflow. Read the tables below to see the way in which your company will soon be billed with this specific particular service. Afterwards HBoS was purchased by Lloyds TSB.
I've been proposed that by filling out an application for Bulk Payments, which requires you to make an application for a credit limit, I perhaps could avoid all this flap. Shame I can't avert the trouble brought on by not being able to get anyone to truly make Bulk Payments available on your account. Therefore I tweeted I was notified that your relationship manager would contact you asap, and saying nothing had been done. Hence I finally possess a bank that fundamentally doesn't really care about servicing them in any type of mode, or its users have to express.
The Products team includes Personal Current Accounts, Loans & Cards, Protection, Mortgages and Savings & Investment. Working with other key partners, the teams are in charge of the delivery design and business operation of their products. Intermediaries is a brand new business place, recognising the strategic value in addition to function intermediary sales play in Mortgages and pieces of their Wealth businesses, notably as an essential distribution channel for the Group.
Just in case you're leisure park owner or a caravan that has taken out a Lloyds TSB business loan and was directed to remove an item alongside the business loan which was made to protect you against the rise of bank loan rates of interest, you mighta claim for business loan misselling. The FSA (The Financial Services Authority)looked into the misselling of business interest rate swaps and considered that there can be a claim for damages. They use Lloyds, and Secure Trading.

text: I recently submitted revisions for an article to appear in a special sound-related issue of American Quarterly, due out in the fall. In "QuietComfort: Noise, Otherness, and the Mobile Production of Personal Space," I explore the use of noise-cancelling headphones as soundscaping devices that render a sense of personal space, particularly in the course of air travel. The airport and airplane, I argue, are spaces that reveal the contradictory nature of neoliberal capitalism, as everyone pursues his or her individualistic freedom at once, resulting in crowding and delays. Rather than confront the illusory nature of individualism and attend to the ways our lives and bodies are enmeshed with those of others, we often use sound media to tune out the "noise" of those around us. Looking closely at marketing and reviews for Bose QuietComfort headphones, I show how users and "noisemakers" are positioned in terms of differences such as class, gender, and race. Noise, I argue, is othered sound--sound that subjects refuse to integrate into themselves.

From stashes of gold to a 'pistol-shaped house': Chinese document details depths of officials' corruption
By Li Jing, South China Morning Post | Politics | Business Insider
Former general Gu Junshan allegedly embezzled more than 20 billion yuan (HK$25 billion) in public money, according to a document containing details of several recent corruption cases.
The document — a transcript of a Hebei prosecutor's lecture to local officials in January, which was reported by Caijing magazine — is available on the Hebei Federation of Trade Unions' website.
According to the transcript, Gu, former deputy logistics chief of the People's Liberation Army, built a pistol-shaped house in his hometown Puyang, Henan province, and filled it with so many valuable artefacts that it took four fully loaded trucks to cart them away when corruption investigators came down on him last year.
Luxury Moutai liquor produced exclusively for the military filled two trucks. Items made of gold, including a figurine of late leader Mao Zedong, were among his stash of illegal gains.
Gu was also said to have pocketed a cut of over 100 million yuan for selling a Shanghai military property worth 2.4 billion yuan.
He was charged last year with embezzlement, bribery, misuse of state funds and abuse of power, but it is not known if he has been convicted.
Another official, former National Energy Administration head Liu Tienan and his family held 12 foreign passports, the document said.
He had five properties in Beijing, Qingdao in Shandong and Taiyuan in Shanxi, and owned nine luxury watches and five artworks by renowned Chinese painters Qi Baishi and Fu Baoshi.
Liu was jailed for life by a Hebei court last year for taking bribes of more than 35 million yuan and abusing his power.
Another energy official, Wei Pengyuan, had such an overwhelming stash of illegal cash that graft inspectors wore out four bill counters trying to get a total of the amount.
"Wei owned more than 10 properties worth over 100 million yuan … More than 230 million yuan in cash was found in his home," the transcript stated.
A statement issued by the Hebei People's Procuratorate said the document on the website had not been officially sanctioned.
It said the information had been compiled by the prosecutor based on reports posted on the internet and had not been formally approved for publication.
Yesterday, the Ministry of Public Security launched Operation Fox Hunt 2015 to track down fugitives, with a focus on suspects of economic crimes as well as corrupt party members and officials.
"We will not only go after suspects of economic crimes — party members and state-run company executives suspected of corruption or duty-related crimes will also be a focus," The Beijing News quoted Liu Dong, who heads the operation, as saying.
Liu, deputy head of the public security ministry's economic crimes division, said the 2015 campaign would be broader than last year's, which caught an unprecedented 680 fugitives between July and December.

The next sheet of die cuts in the Hunkydory kit I've been using (Cute Christmas) has these adorable polar bears! Once again I got 4 cards from this sheet & the coordinating card stock - with some left over. First up is another interlocking gate fold card.
For this first one, I made a card base from glittered card stock. I then attached a greeting to the picture and attached that to just the right side of the card. The frame was attached to just the left side of the card.
Here's the inside:
For the inside, I cut pieces of coordinating card stock (making good use of the swirly corner embellishment and border). I also added a couple more die cuts from the kit. When the card is completely closed, it looks like this:
This next card is done in a similar way, but the "picture" is another piece of that coordinating card stock cut so the swirl is focal.
The card base itself was some heavy silver paper. I matted inside & out with the lavender sparkle paper called Glitzy (DCWV). To the focal, I added a couple of die cuts (one from 2016 Christmas Sentments) and silver outline stickers to frame it. This was attached to just the right side of the card. A coordinating frame was attached to just the left. When completely closed, the card looks like this:
Next up is a more traditional card made on a glitter card stock base. The focal was cut from the 2nd sheet of coordinating card stock. I simply added outline stickers to frame it and a sentiment from 2016 Christmas Sentiments (also from Hunkydory).
The inside was another piece of hte same card stock, framed with the same outline stickers and embellished with a coordinating tag.
The last card from this set was put a pastel green card base. I chose to add a bit of extra to the frame by adding outline stickers so the frame was a bit wider. I also added outline stickers to the sides of the border to finish it off. A coordinating tag completes the front of this card.
For the inside I took a piece of green vellum & embossed it. I added more of the border pieces (along with outline sticker pieces on the ends) and a couple of coordinating embellishments:
That's 4 more cards, so I now have 21 - more than the minimum they said this kit would make and I haven't even used half of it!

2011 News
Wildlife News for 2011
10/04/11Spring is well under way in North Antrim with unseasonably high temperatures in the low twenties Celsius. This has brought with a massive increase in migrant birds moving north and breeding activity in resident birds.
In the space of only a few days dozens of Sand Martins have arrived at colony I discovered last year. Straight away they have started digging into the soils at this cliff top site, whilst others chase each, scrabbling in mid-flight as pair bounds are formed as they try to make the most of our spring and summer, before wintering back in Africa.
House Martins and Swallows are now abundant in the skies around Ballycastle, whilst every patch of scrub which remains seems to have at least one Willow Warbler singing. Occasionally in the more dense cover a Blackcap can be heard singing.
Still to arrive this far north are the Cuckoos, Swifts and Wood Warblers which all add to the summer in the Antrim Glens.
I managed to get a hour this week to stand on a bridge just outside Ballycastle and watch a Dipper busily going about its business, showing signs of beginning the process of nest building nearby. This is a species I will hopefully be photographing in the next few weeks if I can find a suitable site.

Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board is unlikely to achieve anything by writing to the ICC about the disparaging remarks made by former ICC CEO Malcolm Speed against Pakistan cricket and its Chairman Ejaz Butt.
The PCB shot a letter to ICC after Speed called Butt a 'buffoon' in an interview to an Australian newspaper and described the cricket boards of Pakistan and Bangladesh as politicised bodies.
Sources within the ICC told the reporters that since Speed was now no longer associated with the ICC he did not come under its code of conduct.
"The letter sent by the PCB is going to serve no purpose because the ICC can't legally or technically take any action against Speed for his statement," one source said.
Speed's remarks came after Pakistan and Bangladesh joined India, Sri Lanka and South Africa in rejecting the nomination of former Australian Prime Minister John Howard for the post of ICC vice-president.
Butt has said he would not comment on Speed's remarks as the board had already sent a letter to the ICC asking it to take note of the statement by Speed.
But the sources said that the ICC was not in any position to do anything.
"Speed is no longer with the ICC and does not even hold any position in cricket Australia. What he said was in his personal capacity and the ICC can't do anything about it," one source stated.
Sources said PCB was mulling to send a letter to Cricket Australia also over Speed's remarks.

I think the peach color takes away from the drama of the vaulted wood ceiling. It also makes a room that was supposed to be bright and sunny, kind of dark.

My Vegas trip has been rolling around my head since we got back. I just can't seem to shake the icky I felt both while I was there, and increasingly so since I've been home. I have been feeling so insufficient since the moment we landed in Vegas, and I haven't been able to shake it since we've been home. My short comings that were so clearly laid out for me while I failed repeatedly to keep up with The Hubs and the rest of the crew have been following me everywhere I go.
In my daily interactions I probably apologize for my inability to do something, anything, at least three times a day. Just today I sent this email to The Hubs:
"I feel like a nag, or a bossy wife asking this…but every time I vacuum I end up hurting for days.
Can you please try to vacuum our room twice a week? The Floor gets so nasty and I sit on it to do makeup and stretch almost every day."
I had to fight myself to not include the sentence "I'm sorry to ask this but…"
Someone slap me.
Why am I apologizing for asking my husband to vacuum the bedroom that we share? Not because I feel bad asking him to do something, because I feel bad asking him to do something that I can't do. And I do this countless times a day.
I'm sorry, can you push the cart for me?
I'm sorry, can we sit for a bit?
I'm sorry, I can't meet for lunch. Can we change plans?
I'm sorry, can you help with dinner tonight?
I'm sorry, I am in a lot of pain right now; can you stay home tonight?
I see two things wrong here. 1. I am apologizing for my disability. That is just……..the definition of ridiculous. 2. I am asking permission to have what I need to help me feel better. Did you hear me? I am asking permission for what I NEED. This. Is. Not. Okay.
Last I checked, my friends have never made me feel bad for cancelling or changing plans last minute, (my real friends, not the ones that bailed when it got less than exciting to be around me) and marriage is a partnership deal. That whole "in sickness and in health" thing comes into play here.
Now, let me be clear, this is not necessarily The Hubs being unenthusiastic about being there for me. While I do wish that he would be more intuitive to me, the responsibility to make my needs important falls to me. I just have so much guilt about it all and it eats at me every time my condition affects him. Sure I feel better sitting on the couch versus standing to cook dinner, but I feel awful the entire time I do it. The feeling bad part completely negates the avoiding more pain part. I just need to find a way to stop feeling so guilty. I need to stop saying "I'm sorry."
I need to stop apologizing for something that I have zero control over. I mean, I might as well say "I'm sorry it's raining out. I know it ruined your plans for the beach." It's basically the same thing right?
I've been working at the whole "me first" thing for about a year now and in some respects I have done really well. However, in this department I am falling quite short. I suppose the root of the issue is that I still have yet to completely accept myself in this new way. If I were truly comfortable with my body and all of its malfunctions I would not feel the need to apologize for them. If I was completely secure in myself, regardless of my limitations I would not feel the need to compensate with an apology every time I asked for help, or compassion.
I stumbled across this quote from Eckhart Tolle a few months ago "When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation, or accept it. All else is madness."
I think of this quote almost daily as it reminds me that I have 3 choices whenever I am faced with something that hurts me. Leave it, change it, or accept it. I cannot leave my body, I cannot change my condition so I must accept it. I must stop apologizing for everything I ask for. I must stop saying "Sorry, not sorry" and simply say "not sorry.

As spring peeks around the corner, so do endless opportunities to experience beauty at its finest. As the snow melts, the grass "greens" and flowers begin to bloom. The transition alone is breathtaking. There is a light, fresh scent in the atmosphere, a gentle breeze in the air and the sun peaks with a delicate glow. All the changes in the environment refresh the mind, body and soul of women everywhere and there is a sort of trickle down affect that induces a change in our own appearances.
I've noticed that everything about a woman becomes more feminine as the weather breaks. The make-up gets lighter-- softer colors, shimmer foundation and lip gloss instead of opaque lipstick. Much of the red nail lacquer is replaced with sweet pinks, lavenders and ice blues. And we trade in the gray and navy blue sweaters for funky green and spunky pink blazers and airy dresses.
I've always been able to recognize beauty in other women. I notice great hair and skin, a woman's sense of style and the way she carries herself with confidence and grace. Although I don't always express a compliment, I have a great respect and appreciation for the beauty of a woman. As an exercise in self esteem, take the time to enjoy all of the springtime scenery; the weather, the plant life and the beauty of the human race. The ability to recognize the beauty of another woman without feeling threatened or intimidated is a sure signed of inner security.
Take it all in!

can't we (RSS & Atom) all just get along April 26, 2006Posted by Ari Mir in API.
add a comment
i recently came upon a great post: Introducing Feedcache: QOS for RSS
tucows recently made available an API for Feedcache. Feedcache harvests and normalizes feeds. developers can send a feed request to Feedcache and it will return the feed content. if the feed has never been requested, Feedcache will normalize the feed and make it available for future requests. Feedcache normalizes the feeds using Dave Winer's RSS 2.0 feed format.
at cobundle we have been developing something very similar (for internal use). i think Feedcache is definitely onto something. normalizing feed formats will become essential for content feeds to reach critical mass. however, i would expand the scope of the API to allow the developer to choose which feed format he/she would like to use.
welcome to cobundle April 25, 2006Posted by Ari Mir in cobundle news.

what is cobundle?
cobundle makes it easy for you to find new content feeds. sorry that's all we can tell you for now 😉
how did cobundle come about?
six months ago i started a new job as a product manager at Shopzilla (awesome company by the way). as part of my job i began consuming more and more content. however, i soon realized there were people out there (like michael arrington, pete cashmore and fred wilson) with access to content from the "edge" i was unaware of and did not have the time to discover myself. out of pure necessity, cobundle was born.
i approached my friend paul walker, a talented software architect, and we are now a few weeks away from seeing cobundle become a reality.
unfortunately paul and i do not have many tech savvy friends (we're from LA), so we will soon be posting a registration page in an attempt to find beta testers.
if you are a member of the online media and would like a demonstration of the product before the beta test, please email me with information about yourself.
thank you

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi urged the United States and Europe on Thursday to help the Libyan army in its fight against Islamist militants now to save the country from requiring intervention on the scale of Iraq and Syria.
Sisi said there was a danger to the region from conflict in Libya where two governments vie for legitimacy, one in Tripoli linked to Islamist militias, and an internationally-recognized government in the eastern city of Tobruk.
Egypt says militants cross the border to help Egyptian jihadist group Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis attack Egypt's security forces in the Sinai Peninsula. Ansar swore allegiance earlier this month to Islamic State, which is now facing U.S.-led air strikes in Iraq and Syria.
"When we deal with terrorism only in Iraq and Syria, Libya will begin to be an attractive region affecting the stability of… Libya and its neighbors. We will need the same measures happening in Iraq and Syria to be taken in Libya," Sisi said in an interview with France 24.
"The international community – Europe and the Americans – must help the Libyan national army regain its position and combat terrorism in Libya to restore security and stability."
Conflict between rival governments is only exacerbated by tensions between vying tribal groups, many having helped oust dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Sisi reaffirmed on Thursday that Egypt was supporting the Libyan army but said it had refrained from direct intervention.
"If we intervened directly, I would not hesitate to announce that. But all we have done so far is to help the Libyan national army, the Libyan parliament, and the Libyan government."
Egypt is training anti-Islamist Libyan forces on its soil and sharing intelligence in a bid to stamp out militancy next door.

Pixar is back on top where they belong with "Brave," the tale of Princess Merida who is determined to make her own path in life. This Scottish-themed story is not your usual Disney princess story. In fact, there isn't even a love interest for the girl. The movie is also quite different from other Pixar films as well. It is has a feel closer to "Up" rather than, say, "Cars." It is funny, thrilling and sweet. As a bonus, there is a huge twist in the middle of the story which will really keep you guessing on how the story is going to end.
Merida (Kelly Macdonad) is a head-strong princess who begins to butt heads with her mother, Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson) in her teenage years. Elinor just wants her daughter to act like a lady, but Merida would rather ride her horse through the woods and shoot targets with her bow and arrow. At the same time, her father Fergus (Billy Connolly) is hosting an age-old custom with three Lords of the land. Each brings with them a son who is eager to win the hand of the princess. Merida sets out to defy the ritual games and causes a uproar in the process.
"Brave" is a beautiful film to look at and refreshing to watch. It features an imperfect royal family: The big strong warrior father, the uptight, "everything must be just so" mother, three unruly younger brothers and a tomboy of an older sister.
The Pixar team has created sophistication out of a simple story. Yes, there is action and adventure, but when you boil it down, it is really a story about a mother and daughter. And this isn't just a movie for girls. Boys will love it too – really. The film plays out differently than what it looks like in the trailers. Merida does have to be brave in this story, but not in the way you would think. Here is a mini-spoiler: she has to be brave enough to admit that she was prideful and did something that was wrong. It gives an extra dose of realism to the fictional story and something many parents will be happy about. Though "Brave" isn't a "Christian" story, it can help provide plenty of conversation starters on your ride home.
"Brave" does have some scary moments, so be careful about bringing very little ones. Though there is witch and magic featured in the film, it is downplayed for the most part and can be treated as an allergory when talking to your children, much like C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe."

The Christmas cycle begins with Adwent (Advent), a four-week period that precedes
Christmas, and is characterised by the preparation of Nativity scenes in churches. Krakow is particularly notable for this, holding a competition for the best scenes.
As for Christmas itself, Wigilia (Christmas Eve) is the day most celebrated in Polish homes, culminating in a solemn supper that begins when the first star appears in the evening sky. Before the meal the family shares oplatek (holy bread), wishing each other all the best for the future. Then the supper, which traditionally consists of 12 courses, including some of the best of traditional Polish cuisine, begins. An extra seat and place setting are left prepared for an unexpected guest. Kids will find their gifts under the choinka (Christmas tree), or sometimes they will be handed out by Swi^ty Mikolaj (Santa Claus) himself.
In the more traditional rural homes, there will still be much magic and witchcraft involved in Christmas Eve ceremonies, the forms differing from region to region. It's believed, for example, that animals speak with human voices on that one night, and that at midnight the water in wells turns into wine.
After supper is finished, the family set off for church for the specially celebrated Pasterka (Christmas Mass) at midnight. The service is held by most churches, and all are packed.
Christmas Day is, like the previous day, essentially a family day, featuring Mass, eating and relaxing. The holiday atmosphere continues for the remaining days of the year up until Sylwester (New Year's Eve), when the action starts with a variety of formal balls and private parties, held principally among urban communities.
On 6 January comes Dzien Trzech Kroli (Epiphany), marked by groups of carol singers, usually armed with a small portable crib or other religious images, who go from door to door. On this day people have a piece of chalk consecrated in church, then use it to write 'K+M+B' (the initials of the three Magi) on their front doors, to ensure Heaven's care over the home.

Close examination of the ingredient labels on body creams on the counters of a drug store usually reveals several foreign-looking, difficult-to-pronounce product names. A preference for a more natural product with fewer chemicals may prompt you to consider making your own body cream. But a lack of "know-how" could leave you discouraged to attempt it. Find out how easy it is to mix your own body cream once you have the right ingredients.
Step 1
Use a wooden tongue depressor to put ½ cup of shea or cocoa butter into a small glass bowl. Select the butter that is appropriate for your skin type and condition. Shea butter, rich in vitamin A, smooths skin blemishes and wrinkles. It also contains vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant and is good for anti-aging. Cocoa butter helps treat dermatitis and eczema. People commonly use it to remedy and prevent stretch marks and skin discolorations.
Step 2
Boil water in a pot on the stove top and pour it into the larger glass bowl. You may also heat the water to a boil in the microwave. Place the smaller bowl containing the butter into the larger bowl to allow the butter to soften.
Step 3
Spoon the softened butter into a food processor. Turn the food processor on medium speed. Add 1 tbsp. of each oil, mixing them into the butter one at a time. Turn the food processor off periodically. Use a plastic spatula to scrape the mixture from the edge of the bowl. Continue to add the oils until the mixture becomes the consistency you desire.
Step 4
Add several drops of your desired essential oil to the mixture. Not only will it add fragrance, but essential oils also have healing properties. Adding peppermint gives the cream a stimulating effect. The citrus fruits (lemon and orange) have antiseptic qualities and benefit circulation. Add sandalwood essential oil to a cream that you plan to use before bedtime, since it releases melatonin, which enhances sleep.
Step 5
Scoop the mixture into a plastic container using the wooden tongue depressor. Put the top on and store it in a cool, dry place.

Group treatment within rehab has been shown to be quite effective in aiding with alcohol and drug dependency. Most rehabilitation therapy centers include group therapy in their therapy plan since it makes it possible for clients to interact with peers while in a secure and supportive atmosphere. Clients are capable of seeing that there are other people who have been in their same situations and who are having difficulties just as they are-but they're also capable of seeing that others are recovering, and that provides them much-needed hope.
Group therapy sessions are normally incredibly supportive, as they are led by experienced therapists or counselors. Groups are likely to be kept fairly modest in an effort to allow members to be able to converse and an opportunity to bond with one another. Don't assume every participant will communicate at every session, and that is certainly okay; respectful listening is encouraged.
This type of therapy doesn't need to involve basically sitting down in a room and speaking. Some rehab facilities offer therapy activity groups, such as fitness groups, art therapy groups, music therapy groups, and gardening groups. Any kind of group therapy can be quite helpful for recovery from alcohol and drug recovery.

How to get your marketing budget approved
Sales Pitch
Should I approve this expenditure?
"The aim of marketing is to contribute to maximising shareholder value, and marketing strategies must be evaluated in terms of how much value they create for investors." — Peter Doyle (2008)
Recently the new CEO of a small, but well-established company showed me his firm's marketing budget and asked if he should approve it. His background is finance and ICT, and his sales and marketing manager, who was new to the company, had no formal marketing training. But he had achieved some measure of success in his previous job.
What he presented was a list of proposed activities and a request for financing of these activities. There wasn't even a hint of either marketing strategy or a return on investment, but to be fair, he did have some good tactical ideas. However, what he presented was a request for expenditure approval at a time when his company was experiencing a cash crunch. What should the young CEO do?
Marketing and Value Creation
Marketers should remember that marketing is a process of value creation and delivery to customers that transcends traditional departmental boundaries. So when a CFO or CEO does not approve the marketing budget, or worse, slashes their budget, marketers should turn the search light on themselves, because it is not about an internal battle. Astute marketers must always remember that their first constituency is the internal customer, and unless the internal customer, at whatever the organisational level, is satisfied that there will be real value creation, how can they expect to have satisfied paying customers?
Three critical steps
So here are the three things that I recommend that marketers do to get their budgets approved on time, every time:
1. Start with the CEO. What is his/her dream?
• What should our brand footprint be in 3 - 5 years' time?
• How about the internal marketing and productivity gains to make it happen?
• What would make our shareholders very happy?
2. Your next discussion is with the CFO. What would make him/her look good?
• What would they like the balance sheet to look like 3-5 years from now?
• What would they like the income statement to be 3-5 years from now?
• What efficiency and profitability ratios would put the organisation ahead of industry standards?
• What return do you want on your investment in marketing for the year ahead, and how does that compare with your other investment options?
3. Armed with the above, the next step is to create a marketing plan that is a clear, unambiguous road map for giving the CEO and CFO what they want, and your target customers more than they had expected. Now that's serious hard work.
The Marketer's Secret
Since you are ready for the hard work ahead, I'll share the marketer's secret with you; but be sure to keep it strictly confidential. Our big secret is that people, impressed by the creative output, think that creativity is the secret of the successful marketer. But they are wrong. Remember Sony's Walkman, and Apple's iPod? Our success really lies in achieving that delicate balance between the science of marketing strategy and the art of reshaping a market. And so, working in a world where customers often don't really know what they want until they see it, our fun begins with the marketing thinking and planning. This thinking and planning must result in the creation of strategic and tactical plans that are an investment that the CEO and CFO will find attractive.
Getting our marketing plans accepted is thrilling. But our real joy lies in watching customers lining up to buy whatever it is that we have on offer, at full price. Remember the first iPhone?
Slick? Not really, for while it is intellectually simple to understand, in practice creating a strategic marketing plan is the most difficult of all marketing tasks.
So back to the case of my young CEO. You were smart enough to seek advice early in the process. But there's one final question. Necessity being the mother of invention (or is it now innovation?), should they attempt to create their marketing plan on their own, given their limitations, but with no additional expenditure? Or should they seek professional assistance which comes at a cost? What's your take?

Comprehensive, "cradle to grave" studies of electric versus gas and diesel-powered cars show that electric vehicles are better for the environment. As the technology gains acceptance, electric vehicles will likely become better and cheaper. More electric cars on the road means a number of benefits, but it is not without challenges.

New Plan For Newark Schools A Case Of Race Discrimination?
Few would argue that the public school system in Newark, New Jersey, is fine the way it is. Change is clearly needed in the largest public school system in the state. The schools in the town of 277,000 residents regularly rank among the lowest performing in New Jersey. The need for change does not, however, justify a new system if it discriminates against black students.
New Jersey Employment and Civil Rights Attorney Discusses Contractual Limitations of Statutes of Limitation
"Or . . . pigs are never satisfied till they eat everything in sight."
And by "pigs," I mean greedy employers who sense that the time is right to continue to push nervous courts (nervous about not being reappointed by a governor who meddles by intimidating the third branch of government and threatening non-appointment with those he doesn't agree with) to further limit workers' rights.
Fatal Rear-End Accident Claims Officer's Life
A New Jersey police officer and Marine Corps veteran was killed this week when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer. The truck reportedly made no effort to stop before rear-ending the parked police vehicle on the shoulder of Route 17 in the early morning hours. The officer was operating radar, looking to catch speeders, on the side of the road. The 32-year-old officer was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
Ignition Interlock Laws And Traffic Deaths
An ignition interlock device forces a driver to blow into a machine similar to a breathalyzer before starting the car. If the driver has alcohol on his or her breath, the car's ignition will not work. These devices are intended to help prevent drunk driving deaths as evidence has shown that a person who is convicted of DUI faces a high probability of driving drunk again.
Drowsy Driving Among Truckers An 'Open Secret'
In 2013, the federal rules regarding hours of service for interstate truck and bus drivers changed. The maximum workweek was reduced from 82 hours to 70 hours. In addition, the rest needed to "restart" a week was set at 34 hours which must include two consecutive periods from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. The justification for that last change was studies showing the importance of nighttime rest in preventing fatigue. It's true that the government can't force truck and bus drivers to get enough sleep. They can, however, see the toll taken by tired drivers and do what they can to encourage drivers to get adequate rest.
New Distracted Driving Penalties In Place
New Jersey law prohibits the use of handheld cellular phones while driving. Anyone caught talking or texting on a handheld cell phone while driving faces a fine. As of this month, the fines issued for this form of distracted driving have a little more bite to them. A first time offense of handheld cell phone use behind the wheel will net a fine between $200 and $400. Second-time offenders can be fined $400 to $600. Every offense beyond the second can be penalized with a $600 to $800 fine, as well as suspension of your driver's license for 90 days and three points off your license. It remains to be seen whether the increase in fines will encourage greater enforcement of the distracted driving law.

As Democratic elected officials in Los Angeles denounced Proposition 54 as racist on Friday, a judge ruled the measure's ballot summary does not accurately portray its potential impact on medical research and ordered that it be changed.
The statewide initiative by Ward Connerly, a University of California regent, would prevent public agencies from collecting and using many kinds of racial data but would provide an exemption for "medical research subjects and patients."
Opponents say that means the measure might prohibit the collection and use of other health-related data, including surveys on smoking and disease.
The existing ballot summary said the exemption would apply to "all medical and health-care subject matter."
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Gail D. Ohanesian found that language too broad Friday and ordered it replaced with the language directly from the initiative.

The Employee Ownership Update
Corey Rosen
February 7, 2003
Book Review: In the Company of OwnersBy Joseph Blasi, Douglas Kruse, and Aaron Bernstein. Basic Books, 2003.
This important new book makes a persuasive case that ownership needs to be shared more broadly. According to the authors, "CEOs and a thin layer of other executives and mangers in corporate America own a collective total of about 1.2 billion options today," or about 10% of all outstanding corporate shares, worth $80 billion if exercised. Yet the authors conclude that there is no evidence that this embarrassment of riches for these top executives has paid off for shareholders, their companies, or their employees.
Blasi, Kruse, and Bernstein believe there is a better way, what they call "partnership capitalism," a system in which ownership is disbursed broadly and in significant amounts to all employees through options, ESOPs, or other mechanisms. That equity sharing needs to be joined by sharing decision making about how work is performed. This is not just an ideological argument. The authors looked at every significant study of broad ownership models and found that, summing up all the studies of the last two decades, broad ownership boosts productivity 4%, shareholder return 2%, and profits 14% over what would otherwise have been expected. This is despite the much-feared dilution that ownership sharing creates; shareholders, they say, would be wise to share.
The authors are well positioned to write this book. Joseph Blasi is considered the dean of academic researchers in employee ownership in the U.S., having been actively involved in the field since the 1970s. Doug Kruse, his colleague at Rutgers, is considered one of the leading, if not the leading, researcher on incentive compensation systems of all kinds. Aaron Bernstein is a long-time writer for Business Week on labor issues.
High Tech As a ModelThe focus of the book is on what the authors define as the High Tech 100, the 100 largest companies that get at least half their income from internet-related business. These companies have shown more resilience than is widely presumed. The list was compiled in 2000; by 2002, eight of the companies were bankrupt. Still, from 1999 to 2002 employment in the High Tech 100 grew 26%. Combined sales grew 78% from 1999 to end of 2001. Moreover, these companies had helped create the most important new element of the economy in decades.
The authors believe that one of the most lasting contributions of the high tech companies will be their business model. Other companies had used partnership capitalism for years, or even decades. Procter & Gamble created the first ownership sharing plan in a major company 1890; Kodak joined them in 1912 and Sears in 1916. In the 1970s, ESOPs gained a foothold, but most of the leading-edge ESOPs would be in closely held companies, not highly visible publicly traded companies. The high tech sector, by contrast, not only included a lot of public companies, but it had captured popular imagination and attention. The authors trace how the early tech pioneers started to spread ownership more widely to attract and retain technical personnel. By the mid-1980s, some companies, most notably Microsoft, were sharing ownership with just about everyone, primarily through options. That went along with a high involvement culture that fit the intellectual capital the companies needed.
The stock options in these companies became legendary, of course. While the top people gathered impressive amounts, so did everyone else. 98 of the High-Tech 100 provide options to most or all employees. At their peak, options beyond the top five people in these companies were worth $175 billion, or about $1 million per employee. The top five people held another $43 billion, or $86 million each. By July 2002, 83% of the options were underwater, a loss of $171 billion overall. But the remaining 17% was still worth $4.4 billion last summer, or about $25,000 per employee below the top five. There still were years left on many options to regain some value, and employees continued to get new options at lower prices. On top of that, the High Tech 100 workers have already taken home $78 billion from the time their companies went public. Of the employee equity in these companies, the top five people owned 14%, while everyone else had 19%. This contrasts sharply with the rest of American business, where top executives own 12% of the equity and everyone else just 2%.
Blasi, Kruse, and Bernstein argue that society, shareholders, and employees would all be better off if the model developed by these high tech companies became more widespread. One of the book's inspirations was Science Applications Incorporated. Its founder, Bob Beyster, makes the authors' point well: "The crazy thing about it was, the more I gave the company away, the more money I made. . . . At one time, I had 20% of the company. Now I have 1.5 percent. I don't know what would have happened if I had kept it all. But I do know that the more I parceled the stock out to people in the company, the more my own stock was worth." Today, SAIC is a $6.7 billion company with 41,000 employees. This book deserves to be a landmark in the effort to spread this enlightened model of ownership and management.

Sticky rice and mung bean are the dynamic duo in Viet cooking. These two ingredients are commonly used to make a variety of sweet and savory dishes. (Check out the other sticky rice and mung bean recipes I've shared below.) This recipe falls into the Dessert category although it's just slightly sweet. The recipe is super easy and unlike some desserts that need to look perfectly pulled together, this dish can be more rustic looking. So don't obsess if the layers aren't perfectly even and uniform. You won't even notice them as you're gobbling up the cakes–I promise! 🙂
Notes on the recipe, tips and tricks
Know your sticky rice–I've mentioned this in an earlier post but want to emphasize how important this concept is. Different varieties and brands of sticky rice require different water levels. For sticky rice that is not soaked (as in this recipe), use a water to rice ratio of 1:1 when cooking in a rice cooker. Again, this varies depending on the brand and variety. This recipe requires a good amount of rice and I don't want you to waste it, so, if you are not sure how much water to use with your particular brand of rice, make a test batch by cooking 1 cup of sticky rice with 1 cup of water. Then adjust the water levels accordingly.
Sticky rice is chewier and has more texture than regular white rice. A lot of people make the mistake of not cooking it fully. Using a standard rice cooker, after it switches over to the "Keep Warm" function, don't open the lid and stir the rice right away. Allow it to cook for another 10-15 minutes. This extra time makes a big difference in improving the texture of the rice.
If your rice cooker isn't big enough to cook all the rice at once, separate it into two batches. Keep the batches separate and this saves you the step of having to divide the rice for the 2 layers.
Use a food scale to weigh the rice and this will ensure your layers are even.
The mung bean filling should have the consistency of whipped potatoes when done cooking. As the filling cools, it will thicken up further. If your filling is still drippy after cooking for the suggested time, continue cooking to evaporate the liquid. Optionally, you can thicken the filling by adding cooked glutinous rice flour, approximately 1 tsp – 1 Tbsp should do the trick.
These cakes freeze and reheat really well. Cut the cakes into squares and then wrap individually with plastic wrap. Place all the wrapped cakes inside a resealable plastic bag and store in your freezer. When you need a breakfast or a quick snack, just take one of the cakes out of the freezer and microwave on High for 1-2 minutes. The cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months.
A lot of folks find star anise a bit overpowering. This recipe doesn't use much of the spice but if you don't like it, you can skip it or substitute with Pandan essence.

Quick Sticky Rice and Mung Bean (Xoi Xeo)
Watch the video below for instructions.
Rice Cake
4 1/2 cups sticky rice (also called glutinous rice or sweet rice)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup coconut milk
3 cups water (see Notes above and adjust as needed)
5 drops green food coloring
2 dried star anise or 1/2 tsp star anise powder
1/4 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup roasted sesame seeds
3/4 cup coconut milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups mashed mung bean
Wash the rice by rinsing with cool water 3-4 times or until the water is clear. Drain the rice using a colander. Toss the rice in the colander for 1 minute to shake off any remaining water.
Add the rice into the rice cooker along with the sugar, salt, coconut milk, water and the green food coloring and combine well. Level the rice in the cooker by using the back of a spoon. Place the lid on and set to Cook. After the rice cooker switches to the Keep Warm function, allow to cook for another 10-15 minutes.
To make the filling, in a wok over Medium Low, combine the coconut milk, sugar and salt and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the mashed mung bean and combine with the syrup. Stir the filling continuously to incorporate all the ingredients. Cook for approximately 7 minutes or until the filling thickens and resembles whipped potatoes. Let the filling cool while continuing with the next steps.
In a small skillet over Low heat, toast the star anise until they become fragrant, approximately 2-3 minutes. Place the star anise into a spice grinder and pulse until it's a fine powder. Sift the powder into a small bowl and then set aside. (The larger bits can be discarded.)
After the rice is finished cooking, remove the lid and stir the rice gently. Add the star anise powder and mix with the rice. Allow the rice to cool for 10 minutes. Divide the rice in half and place in separate bowls.
Add vegetable oil into a 13×9 inch pan and use a paper towel to spread the oil and wipe up any excess. Sprinkle 2 Tbsp of the sesame seeds into the bottom of the pan.
Take spoonfuls of the rice and place into the pan using up the first batch of rice. With your hands, spread and firmly press the rice into the pan. Add the filling and spread evenly over the rice. Add the second batch of rice as was done previously. Again, spread and press the rice, covering the mung bean filling. Sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.
To serve, cut the cake into medium-sized pieces and enjoy!
Store any remaining cake in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months to enjoy later.
Yields: 13×9 inch pan, approximately 20 pieces

We're Off and Running (Flying) in Southern Manitoba and Southeast Saskatchewan
After waiting out the weather for a few days, on April 30th I finally made it out of Denver and flew up to Brandon, Manitoba, to stage for this year's survey. With the early spring, we were anxious to get started. Doug Benning will be accompanying me this year to help show me the ropes. After meeting Doug in Brandon, we spent a couple days troubleshooting computer issues, flying a known-width transect to calibrate our eyes, and testing our duck identification skills. Even though Doug is a retired pilot biologist, he is still bursting with energy and enthusiasm for this year's survey. He had already driven over 200 miles identifying ducks and determining the progression of this year's breeding chronology and had it summarized for me when I landed! Although it was an early Spring, we appeared to have timed the start of our survey perfectly.

Often when we think of Paul, we think of how he, as Saul of Tarsus, persecuted Christians in his zeal as a Jewish leader. But, do we think of ourselves in our lives before Christ as a persecutor as well?
Think about this: if you didn't come to Christ at a young age, you had time to do and say things that hurt Jesus. I am no different. In fact, I'll tell you a little bit about myself, the way I used to be before coming to Christ. No, I wasn't a Christian at a young age, I waited until I was middle 20's before He got to my heart. I had plenty of time to do and say things that hurt Him.
I'm ashamed to say that in my life before Christ, I mocked Christians. As a child I grew up in a home where Jesus and God were curse words, and there was no respect toward God, church, or anything remotely Christian. I learned to think of Christians as goody two shoes, hypocrites, busy bodies, based on what my parents taught me by actions and words. I wanted nothing to do with those folks who went to church on Sunday, wanted nothing to do with whatever was in the building that made folks get up early on Sunday morning, get dressed up, and drive to town (we lived in the country) to sit in a hard pew and listen to some man yell at you. As far as I was concerned, Mormons, Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, all denominations and beliefs were the same.
This continued on after school, and on into my adult years. I mocked. I cursed. I did things I am not proud of in search of MY own life. Life was about ME, what I wanted, My wants and MY wishes.
When I became an officer in the Dept. of Corrections and was assigned to a high medium/max security men's facility, I walked into the place where God was needed most. It was depraved. I saw things I wish I could scrub from my mind's eye. I heard things I wish I could forget. I mocked inmates who were sincere in wanting to seek Jesus--I was taught in the Academy that they were into jailhouse religion in order to get in good with the parole board, and I bought into the idea. During my time as an officer, I met 3 different ordained pastors, all active in ministry outside the prison system and who were officers on the night shift. I made life rough for them when I worked around them. None of them tried to tell me about Jesus. During those depraved years, I drank on my days off, partied, did things that were "cool" according to my fellow depraved officers. On the job, the folks I hung around with after work made the shifts hard for the professing Christians who worked with us.
I'm not proud of it. In fact, I am ashamed. I did this to the One who died for me. I mocked, I persecuted, I was no better than Saul.
Jesus brought me out of that world, out of that life of mocking, of making fun of Christians, of persecuting Him.
I am eternally grateful.
Now, I am a member of the side who is mocked, who is persecuted for beliefs (ok, it's not like in China or any other Communist country yet, but we feel soft persecution already), who hurts when someone does that to our Lord. The tables turned.
It doesn't take someone the magnitude of Paul to have such a huge life change. It can happen in that everyday person such as you and I. We don't have to have Paul's reputation as Saul in order to do those same hurtful things to our Lord and to other Christians....we just have to have that same heart as Saul did. We also don't have to stay like Saul--we can come to Christ, repent, turn away from our sins, and live a life in Him, never to do that again.
Going from the persecutor to the persecuted.

We had the opportunity to review the Joovy Caboose and my husband and I were both definitely impressed with this stroller! First of all, it was super easy to assemble. I pulled out the directions and had the entire stroller put together within 15 minutes, without the help of my husband who I would normally have to call on to help me! As I was pulling things out of the box, I was also ecstatic that there was a Removable Child Tray and a Universal Car Seat Adapter INCLUDED! Most of the time these type of extras must be purchased separately so I was super excited that they were included with the stroller because they were both things I wanted to use!
When we finished our walk, the stroller folded right up and was easy to store and didn't take up a lot of room. When we were ready to get it out the next time, it was simple to open back up to use which I find very important because I don't like to waste a lot of time getting things ready to go!

The Kansas City Shoot for the Cure is an annual two-day fundraising event which benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Join us at this fun event which has something for everyone!
Important Note on Attendance at Foundation Events:
To reduce the risk of getting and spreading germs at CF Foundation-sponsored events, we ask that everyone follow basic best practices by regularly cleaning your hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow and maintaining a safe 6-foot distance from anyone with a cold or infection. Medical evidence shows that germs may spread among people with CF through direct and indirect contact as well as through droplets that travel short distances when a person coughs or sneezes. These germs can lead to worsening symptoms and speed decline in lung function. To further help reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation's attendance policy recommends inviting only one person with CF to attend the indoor portion of a Foundation-sponsored event at a specific time. For the outdoor portion, the Foundation recommends that all people with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times.
Please note: People with CF and their families should be aware that individuals with CF might choose to attend Foundation events or meetings without notifying event organizers. We strongly discourage this; however, we cannot guarantee that only one person with CF will be present at any indoor Foundation event. For more information, please call your local chapter.
