Holidays in March
For Australians, March is a month full of fun, festivities and exciting events. March holidays are different across the country, mainly in how and when Labour Day is celebrated. Whether you travel for an annual event or to take advantage of a long weekend, March is a perfect time of year to escape the regular routine and getaway with family and friends.
Why Travel in March?
March is the first month of autumn in Australia, with warm temperatures giving way to cooler ones in the south of the country. In the tropical, northern part of Australia, warm temperatures continue along with rain. March is a popular time to travel for annual events and Labour Day celebrations. Also, many people who travel in January when schools are closed, are once again ready for a holiday.
Labour Day
Across Australia, Labour Day is celebrated in different names and at different times. The concept of the day is the same—it is celebrating workers rights and the achievement of certain working conditions such as the 8-hour day. In Western Australia it is held on the first Monday in March. In Victoria it is held on the 2nd Monday in March. The equivalent holiday, called 8-Hour Day is held on the 2nd Monday in March in Tasmania.
Adelaide Cup
The Adelaide Cup is a public holiday in South Australia only. This annual thoroughbred horse race, with its huge cash prize, is held in Adelaide at the Morphettville Racecourse. This two-mile race dates back to the 1860s and is not only widely attended, but is watched on TV throughout the country. The event is so big, that it has been declared a public holiday in South Australia. It is a great excuse to travel to Adelaide and experience the festivities firsthand.
Moomba Festival
In addition to public holidays, March is also home to a variety of annual events. One of the most popular is the Moomba Festival held in Melbourne. This is the largest free community festival in the country and offers a range of entertainment including spectacular parades, fireworks, live concerts, carnivals, watersports, and more.
St. Patrick's Day
Although not a public holiday, many people in Australia look forward to the Irish National Holiday of St. Patrick's Day, held each year on March 17th. Annual parades usually take place on the weekend closest to the 17th and feature marching bands, Irish-themed floats, plenty of fun costumes and a long night of fun.
Canberra Day
One public holiday held only in the Australian Capital Territory, is Canberra Day. The 2nd Monday of March each year commemorates the official naming of Canberra in 1913. This day also falls within the Canberra Festival, an annual nine-day event full of hot air balloons, concerts, dance performances, and special exhibitions within local galleries.
Where to Go in March
Temperatures are mild in the first month of autumn in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and in the southern part of Western Australia. Many people travel to the cities for holiday celebrations, while others enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the coast.

September 14, 2018
On very hot days, when the sun beat down mercilessly and I can't stop sweating, I prefer wearing as few as possible clothes on my wet skin. A beautiful bikini or just lingerie is more than enough on these days and just the smallest breath of wind is welcome to cool me.
But on a very hot midsummer the lightest and smallest outfit can be too much. On this particular day I reached the point where I would love to take a pretty cool refreshment in the pool. So I decided to enjoy the refreshing in the cool water with a sexy combination consist of a red beaming bathing suit and black latex stockings and gloves. *sweet kisses*
What is it makes latex so extremely outstanding? Is it the indescribable carrying feeling or the futuristic shine?… I think, it is the combination of both which makes latex to the wonderfully varied material which pulls more and more people in his spell.
And just this it is what moves me to feel that certain 'je ne said quoi' as well as my passion to share it with you. I invite you in my club to discover with myself together the varied facets of latex and to experience the mystery of this unique material anew with every image.

A man being held in West Virginia probably won't be extradited on eight counts of rape and other charges in Washington County until he appears in court in West Virginia early next week, Washington County Sheriff Douglas W. Mullendore said.
Richard "Ricky" Ernest Brightwell, 32, of 25 Pilgrim Hill St., Inwood, W.Va., was being held without bond Friday in Eastern Regional Jail in Berkeley County on a fugitive from justice warrant from Washington County.
An arrest warrant issued in late November in Washington County charged Brightwell with 27 counts, including: four counts of first-degree rape, four counts of second-degree rape, four counts of second-degree assault, four counts of third-degree sexual offense, two counts of kidnapping a child younger than 16, one count of first-degree assault, three counts of false imprisonment, two counts of a handgun in a vehicle, two counts of handgun on his person and one count of use of a firearm in commission of felony, according to court records.
Authorities said the 27 counts against Brightwell came after a joint investigation by the Washington County Sheriff's Office and the Hagerstown Police Department. That inquiry involved a series of reported rapes that occurred in Hagerstown and Washington County in 2006, authorities said.
The victim was a 15-year-old girl, authorities said.
In Berkeley County, Brightwell is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl on Sept. 2 in Inwood, according to Berkeley County Magistrate Court records.
The warrant charging Brightwell with second-degree sexual assault in that case indicates his address at that time was 208 N. Potomac St. in Hagerstown, records show. He also had a Frederick, Md., address at 10122 Bethel Road.
Brightwell was booked at Eastern Regional Jail on Dec. 27. Since then, he posted a $50,000 bond on the sexual assault charge from West Virginia, but was being held on a fugitive-from-justice warrant from Washington County, a jail spokeswoman said.
Mullendore said the Washington County Sheriff's Office typically would pick up a fugitive almost immediately in a case such as this, but the closing of government offices over the holidays has delayed the process.

Rise in preventable deaths reflects growing pressure on water safety sector
Provisional figures from Water Safety New Zealand (WSNZ) for 2017 show a 13% increase in preventable drownings on the previous year. There were 88 preventable drownings in 2017 versus 78 in 2016.
"I can't sugar coat it," says CEO Jonty Mills. "The water is our playground but it's incredibly unforgiving."
There is an obvious connection between drownings and the weather and the early onset of summer in 2017 contributed to the spike.
However, Mills believes the problem goes deeper than that.
"Most of the time, it comes down to poor decision making in the general sense. That's why most drowning deaths are considered preventable."
Spikes in the under-fives and over 65 age groups are features of the 2017 figures.
"For under-fives, the only fool-proof solution is constant active adult supervision. Also, we are living longer healthier lives and retirees are more active which adds additional risk" says Mills.
Female fatalities have almost doubled, reflecting higher participation rates across a wide range of activities and there were twice as many accidental immersions in 2017.
"Accidental immersions are people who ended up in the water when they had no intention to. This reinforces how important it is to think about water safety around any aquatic environment" says Mills.
Preventable fatalities in Auckland have doubled, while the West Coast has the highest drowning rate per capita.
"New Zealand's drowning problem is a complex one. We have a very diverse and growing population with very high participation rates across a wide range of different activities and aquatic environments" says Jonty Mills.
Mills also warns of the widening gap between the water safety sector's ability to meet growing expectation and demand. "Sector resources are stretched beyond their capability. This is a sector which relies on volunteers and is predominantly non-government funded."
Mills believes all Kiwis need to take personal responsibility and is keen to work closer with government at both central and local level.
Drowning remains to number one cause of recreational death and number three cause of accidental death in New Zealand, with a social cost of over $400m per annum to the country.
"We need to educate more to ensure our kids are coming out of the system with the skills, competencies and risk awareness to enjoy the water safely, as well as run ongoing campaigns to create a long-term attitude and behaviour change around water. We also need to secure the future of frontline water safety and rescue resources," Mills concluded.
The Water Safety code applies to all forms of water based recreation - Be prepared, watch out for yourself and others, be aware of the dangers and know your limits.

*Preventable drowning fatalities are those where water safety sector intervention could have had an influence (for example where the victim was boating, swimming, diving) while non-preventable drowning deaths include events such as suicides, homicides and vehicle accidents (where water safety education and activity would not have prevented the death).

Three of family poisoned by domestic help in Delhi (Lead)June 15th, 2008 - 6:50 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, June 15 (IANS) Three members of a family, who were allegedly poisoned by their domestic help at their east Delhi home, were now stable, the police said Sunday. B.S. Yadav, his wife Milan and their nine-year-old son Kartavya were allegedly given poison by their servant, Raju Nepali, at their home in Vivek Vihar late Saturday, a police official said.
However, the servant did not give poison to their three-year-old son.
Nepali is absconding with some cash and valuables, he added.
"The servant mixed poison in their tea. The police were informed about the incident at about 1.35 a.m.," the official said.
All three have been admitted to Max Hospital, Patparganj, and are now stable but unconscious.
Nepali, who had joined the family last month, had not undergone police verification, he added.
The servant was earlier employed by the father-in-law of Yadav, who owns a school in Ghaziabad, and he later sent Nepali to Yadav's home for help.
Yadav runs a clinic in Ghaziabad whereas his wife is the vice-principal of a school in Delhi.
Yadav's brother informed the police about the incident after he found the family lying in their home unconscious.
The other two people who used to work at the Ghaziabad school were also absconding after the incident.
The Delhi Police has not detained anybody so far and has sent two teams to Ghaziabad in connection with the case.
The incident comes close on the heels of a family in Noida being poisoned by their domestic help in a similar manner. The family of industrialist Ajay Maini was found drugged at their Noida Sector 50 house June 7 and their servant Akash was missing. Maini's wife Sandhya was declared dead when taken to hospital.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante in Rosso Mars (red) is last of 14022 units
This model went on to be a major seller for the Italian automaker. Now a decade later, the final Lamborghini Gallardo, an LP 570-4 Spyder Performante has rolled off production line on November 25, 2013, and is slated to make its way to an unnamed private collector in the next few weeks. This final example numbered 14,02,2 is a drop top that is painted a rich Rosso Mars red.
The Gallardo has been a success story right throughout its entire lifespan. The company has sold a total of 30,000 units out of which half have been Gallardos. Prior to the entry of the Gallardo, the company used to sell a total of just 250 units per year but post the introduction of Gallardo sales figures increased to a total of 2000 units per year.
As the final Gallardo departs from the company plant, Lamborghini gets ready to concentrate on the next supercar which will be either a Cabrera or a Huracan.
End of production for the Lamborghini Gallardo
– Ten years of an Italian Icon
– The 'most sold' Lamborghini super sports car
– Still best in class with record lap times
In the historic factory buildings of
Sant'Agata Bolognese, the last Lamborghini Gallardo has left the production line. The final model is a Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante in Rosso Mars (red) and it is destined for a private collector. With a total of 14,022 units the Gallardo is not only by far the most-built Lamborghini, it ranks among the most successful super sports cars — and has long since established itself as an icon of Italian design and the art of automotive engineering.
With its appearance ten years ago in the year of the company's 40th anniversary, the Gallardo marked a fundamental watershed in the history of Automobili Lamborghini. In Lamborghini's first four decades, an average of just 250 Lamborghinis were built per year. In the decade of the Gallardo, production grew to a whole new dimension with volumes of around 2,000 cars per year on average — while, in global terms, retaining the highly exclusive nature of vehicles bearing the badge of the bull. In keeping with the Lamborghini tradition, the name of the Gallardo too was derived from the world of bullfighting. Bred in the 18th century, the Gallardo bloodline was
known for its exceptional courage and undaunted nature.
The great career of the Lamborghini Gallardo began in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show. Its unique, extreme design, created by the Centro Stile Lamborghini, phenomenal dynamics and outstanding quality formed the basis for its enormous and enduring success over a whole decade. The Gallardo's technical concept was compelling from day one: systematic lightweight design through an aluminum space frame; the combined power and highrevving characteristics of the ten-cylinder naturally aspirated engine; the Lamborghini e-gear, a completely new robotized sequential gear shifting system; and, finally, the amazing handling and safety provided by permanent all-wheel drive.
This notwithstanding, an enhancement in the driving experience was already in the pipeline – the open-air driving thrill of the Gallardo Spyder, which joined the lineup in 2005. The Gallardo Superleggera came along in 2007. With its reduced weight, thanks to a large number of carbon fiber components, its output increased to 530 hp and with its purist design, pushed the performance benchmark yet another notch higher. The second generation of the Gallardo arrived in 2008. With a redesigned
front and rear, a new engine with gasoline direct injection and 560 hp, plus further-enhanced equipment, the Gallardo LP 560-4 proved that even an excellent product can be improved. The second-generation Spyder was also delivered to its first customers in 2008. The new version of the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera followed in 2010 with an increase in output to 570 hp, this time also as the open-top Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante. Occupying another niche in the broad spectrum of Gallardo versions were the LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni limited edition and the LP 550-2 Spyder: with their rearwheel drive, they appealed to a particularly purist group of sports car fans.
The pinnacle of sporting performance among the total of 32 Gallardo variants was marked by the Super Trofeo Stradale and, finally, the Gallardo Squadra Corse. They draw a direct line from the competition version in the world's fasted single-brand race series, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, to the road. The LP 570-4 Squadra Corse, in particular, demonstrated in several comparison tests just how outstanding the Gallardo still is. In specialist magazines from Quattroruote in Italy, through Car in the United Kingdom to Sport Auto in Germany, the Gallardo continued to prove right up to the end of its career that it was still the clear frontrunner in terms of performance, handling and driving pleasure, setting a best-in-class lap time in Hockenheim (Germany) and record lap times in Balocco and Vairano (Italy).
The Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse boasts a dry weight of 1340 kilograms, 70 less than the already lean Gallardo LP 560-4. With a stunning power-toweight ratio of 2.35 kilograms per hp it delivers breathtaking performance: from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h in just 10.4 seconds. Top speed is 320 km/h. The carbon ceramic brake system guarantees unmatched stopping power.
The Lamborghini Gallardo was sold in more than 45 countries across the globe. In true Italian style, the Gallardo offered an exceptionally high range of choices for individualization. Via the ''Ad Personam'' program, each and every customer was able to have his Lamborghini V10 super sports car perfectly tailored to suit his own preferences. A whole decade of production also brought with it a wide array of special editions, often exclusive to specific markets, like the Singapore, Malaysia, China and India Editions. One particularly exclusive version of the super sports car gained global prominence through its very special service record: several units were built of the Gallardo Polizia Stradale with blue lights, special paintwork and dedicated equipment. Two are currently in service with the Italian State Police.
The Gallardo continues to prove its motorsport competence, racing in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo. Alongside European race tracks, this fascinating one make series has now also conquered the circuits of Asia and North America with its own series in those regions. The Gallardo GT3 has also celebrated numerous successes at sports car races around the globe.
In the year of Automobili Lamborghini's 50th anniversary, the Gallardo success story has now come to an end with car number 14,022. Almost half of all 30,000 Lamborghinis built since the company was first founded in 1963, are Gallardos.

Old-fashioned apples are back in fashion.
After nearly disappearing from the marketplace, apple varieties that were popular decades or even centuries ago are making a resurgence. The varieties, known as antique or heirloom apples, number in the thousands and carry names such as Sheepnose, American Mother, Lady Sweet and Nickajack.
And thanks to growing interest in all foods local and heirloom, they increasingly are showing up at farm stands and markets, at pick-your-own orchards and in ciders and baked goods.
The apples provide a fresh source of income for apple growers, allowing them to distinguish themselves from the average orchard. For consumers, the apples are a chance to buy and taste a uniquely local product, something unlikely to be grown anywhere else in the country.
There's been strong interest in antique apples in recent years, but the past year in particular has seen enormous growth, said Gary Paul Nabhan, a chair in sustainable food systems at the University of Arizona who has a 5-acre orchard of his own.
"Foods that are memorable, have an incredible history and incredible flavor and texture all of the
sudden are back on our screen," said Nabhan. "These apples are so absolutely delicious and have such remarkable stories with them that once you're introduced to them you can't go back to squishy Red Delicious."
Incredibly, there are an estimated 15,000 or more apple varieties that have been named and grown in North America. But of the 10 billion or so pounds of apples grown in the U.S. each year, the top 10 varieties make up 80 percent of the production.
The top varieties � the ones commonly found in supermarkets that most everybody knows � include Red Delicious, Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Fuji, McIntosh and Rome. But Americans do not live on supermarket varieties alone, apple aficionados
are saying.
At one time, Steve Wood grew only McIntosh, Cortland and other common varieties at his Poverty Lane Orchards & Farnum Hill Ciders farm in Lebanon, N.H.
But the market changed, and apple growers worldwide began delivering uniform, large waxed apples year-round. No longer able to command a premium for his crop of standard apples, Wood bulldozed his orchard, began growing old-style varieties and branded his harvest as "uncommon apples." Today, he sells them from his retail farm stand while also shipping them to wholesalers and retailers along the East Coast and as far away as Texas and Michigan.
About 25 percent of his orchard still goes to Macs and Cortlands, with roughly 35 percent to uncommon apples good for eating. The remaining 45 percent goes to other apples � some of which are of the old-style variety, which are used to make alcoholic ciders. His eating varieties include Wickson, Hubbardston Nonesuch, Hudson's Golden Gem and Ashmead's Kernel. His cider apples go by names such as Dabinett, Yarlington Mill and Somerset Redstreak.
Wood turned to heirloom apples because it made economic sense. He's not sure he'd still be in business if he hadn't.
"This is a commercial orchard. It's not a museum," he said. "It's not just whether these varieties are worthy of preservation. It's whether we can sustain a business off it."
Clarkdale Fruit Farms in Deerfield, Mass., has been expanding its selection of antique apples. About 5 acres of the 25-acre orchard is devoted to antique types, up from 2 or 3 acres a few years ago, said third-generation owner Tom Clark.
Some of the old-style varieties aren't good for simply chomping into, but they're good for cooking (Duchess of Oldenbergs and Gravensteins, for example) or making cider (Baldwins, Golden Russets and Roxbury Russets), Clark said.
"Horticulturally, it's interesting, and it helps out sales, growing different things," Clark said.
Dan Bussey's Albion Prairie Cider Orchard & Mill in Edgerton, Wis., may be small, but the selection is wide with more than 250 types of heirlooms. He sells some of the apples at his orchard and to local markets, but most of his production goes to alcoholic cider, each with its individual flavor. Much of the growth in antique.

Nearly ubiquitous Internet-enabled mobile telephony with cameras means that bystanders and victims of human rights abuses can collect and disseminate information and images in real-time. The challenge to researchers is finding evidence and verifying its authenticity. How can massive amounts of user generated content be managed in a timely, actionable way without causing injury to already vulnerable populations? How might data science and predictive analytics affect the use of remote sensing? What might be the role of crowdsourcing in data analytics?

IoT Shifts Transformation Retreat
We've got two seats left to attend the IoT Shifts Transformation Retreat the days before the conference using the Socratic Design method led by philosopher, Humberto Schwab. Join this unique and rare opportunity to gain coaching, industry insights and IoT knowledge that can assist your business growth and personal development at a beautiful luxury 5-star resort in the Peralada (near Girona) in the north east of Spain. It will be a small group of about 15 CEOs, CTO/CIOs and strategists, IoT startups and leading thinkers in the cross-sections of IoT and Experience.
If you'd like to book one of these two seats left, ping me.
Hope to see you there!
Onwards now with some of the best links I read this week, interesting enough to share with you.
IoT Reports
The earlier in this newsletter mentioned McKinsey Global Institute report, "Internet of Things: Mapping the value beyond the hype" states that the current hype may actually understate the full potential of the IoT: "Capturing economic value will require an understanding of where real value can be created and a successful effort to address a set of systems issues, including interoperability."
You also may want to read the reports from Accenture and Deloitte on this subject. Great stuff!
The Smartest Building in the World
It knows where you live. It knows what car you drive. It knows who you're meeting with today and how much sugar you take in your coffee. (At least it will, after the next software update.) This is quite possibly the smartest office space ever constructed.
Entering the building, the app (developed with the building's main tenant, consulting firm Deloitte) finds you a desk. Because at the Edge, you don't have one. No one does. Workspaces are based on your schedule: sitting desk, standing desk, work booth, meeting room, balcony seat, or "concentration room." Wherever you go, the app knows your preferences for light and temperature, and it tweaks the environment accordingly.

"What is a futurist?"
According Gray Scott, it's about using current scientific research in emerging technologies to imagine how we will live in the future. Here are Seven Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World Forever he's been thinking about. I go with 1, 2, 3 and 6.

Why Futurism Has a Cultural Blind spot
I often start my presentations looking back at how we used to predict the future a couple of decades ago and compare that to what is there out now. It's mostly disappointing to be honest.
Here's a nice story by Tom Vanderbilt making the same point looking ahead, showing us that the future was not quite as advanced as we thought it would be, nor did it come as quickly… from a time capsule perspective. The past, meanwhile, turns out to not be as radically distinct as we thought.
Religion could be influencing the course of human evolution; atheist and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins said in an interview published this week: "Well, I suppose that if there is a meme that says don't use contraception or don't use contraception that works, then that does tend to affect gene propagation, obviously. So that's the kind of thing that might be going on. But remember that genetic evolution is a very slow process… compared to culture evolution, so we are dealing with two rather disjointed timescales here."
Watch the Wall Street Journal's video interview with Richard Dawkins.
The VW scandal
(Image © The Economist)
You probably have read loads on this topic already but I'd like to include some must read articles and emphasise why this story is so important for future business: brands can't afford anymore to play dirty in a global society dominated by the instant and social media influence. Stories like the VW scandal have hit Volkswagen hard financially (stock down by + 30%) and the company image has been damaged for quite some time. It'll take time to recover from this one.
So, could the Volkswagen scandal power an electric car breakthrough? By subsidising diesel, Europe has slowed the transition to hybrids and electric cars. With diesel's future in doubt, their moment may have come.
The move from fossil fuel to renewable energy is happening, it'll take some time but we have to make the transition at some point, the sooner, the better. No time to waste!
Read also "Dirty secrets: Volkswagen's falsification of pollution tests opens the door to a very different car industry" in The Economist. The damage to VW itself is immense. But the events of last week will affect other carmakers, other countries and the future of diesel itself.
Problems at Volkswagen Start in the Boardroom
Whether the company's insular corporate structure gives it the flexibility to manage successfully through the scandal remains to be seen. Given the serious financial and reputational damage, the long-term survival of Volkswagen is a real question. Professor Elson says he believes the company won't disappear: "A board like this doesn't give investors a lot of confidence," he said."They'll get through this eventually, but I wouldn't be surprised if the German government ends up having to bail them out."
In the new economy, Volkswagens competitors might look entirely different in a couple of years and will likely include Apple, Google, Tesla and Uber. And their cars won't run on diesel!
"Being first isn't always best. Before Facebook went wide, there was MySpace. HD DVDs beat Blu-Ray discs to the market by a few months, but ended up being abandoned by the company that created them. Tesla has the first electric cars that are both desirable and well built—the recent Model S variant broke Consumer Reports' rating system—and CEO Elon Musk plans to bring electric cars to the mass market. But it may not be the company to achieve that goal. Apple is reportedly ramping up its electric car team, and Google is plugging away with its self-driving car program. At the same time, almost every established car brand is working on (or has) an electric car. Could Tesla end up being another early market leader that ends up as a footnote in a rival's history of success?"

The Internet is eating your memory, but something better is taking its place
"If we can now remember more with a little help from our technology friends, that is arguably a great step forward. Rather than worrying about what we have lost, perhaps we need to focus on what we have gained."

Trans humanism not real? Anyone?
The Choice Ahead Regarding Digital Technology by John Hagel
"It will be up to us to ultimately determine how we use that digital technology. Will we use it to narrowly squeeze out all inefficiency in the work we do? Or will we use it to catalyse and amplify the imagination that makes us uniquely human and that could identify entirely new avenues to create fundamentally new sources of value?"
Stop Googling. Let's Talk.
This is our moment to acknowledge the unintended consequences of the technologies to which we are vulnerable, but also to respect the resilience that has always been ours. We have time to make corrections and remember who we are — creatures of history, of deep psychology, of complex relationships, of conversations, artless, risky and face-to-face.
Future of Work
According to a 2012 Gallup poll, 52% of employees are not engaged at work, and another 18 percent are actively disengaged.
The Research Is Clear: Long Hours Backfire for People and for Companies
Excellent article on HBR on recent research into the productivity results on working longer hours: "In a study by Boston University's Questrom School of Business, managers could not tell the difference between employees who actually worked 80 hours a week and those who just pretended to."
Are you're going to build your teams in the future analysing them with metrics or build teams bonded by purpose, passion and excitement for solving problems?
In line with a talk I did recently at HRMExpo on "Reshaping work in the digital age", David Siegelargues that a new model of the company is emerging, and culture is at the heart of this revolution. The big challenge for large corporations is that companies need to move from the factory model to the laboratory model. At Undercurrent, they call it the Responsive Organization. Their CEO Aaron Dignan gives an inspiring overview in his essay on the new operating system of business.
The eight-hour workday hasn't changed much since Henry Ford first experimented with it for factory workers. Now, Americans work slightly longer—an average 8.7 hours—though more time goes into email, meetings, and Facebook than whatever our official job duties actually are. Is it time to rethink how many hours we spend at the office?

16 More Startup Metrics
A few weeks ago, Jeff Jordan, Anu Hariharan, Frank Chen shared some key startup metrics (16 of them, to be exact) that help investors gauge the health of a business when investing in it. But good metrics aren't just about raising money from VCs … they're about running the business in a way where founders can know how — and why — certain things are working (or not), and then address them accordingly. In other words, these metrics aren't just for pitching but for discussing in subsequent board meetings, quarterly updates, and management meetings. As one reader shared: "Drive with them, don't just 'report' them".
The Real Reason Quirky Failed
Excellent analysis by Ben Einstein from Bolt why Quirky went busted last week.
Alfred pairs busy individuals (aka you) with organized, knowledgeable, intuitive people who handle all of life's necessities: from groceries and dry cleaning, to tailoring and sending packages. Alfred is an automatic, hands-off service that hums along quietly in the background of your life – so you can be free to live yours.
Hired is the first two-sided marketplace created specifically for Engineers, Data Scientists, Designers and Product Managers who are overwhelmed with job opportunities. The marketplace where tech companies compete to hire you. Brilliant idea and execution!

Yesterday I tried my hand at dyeing some wool tops.I only had access to Dylon cold dye & using this along with a steamer ,it seems to have worked quite sucessfully.I do have a slight green/blue tinge to one hand where my rubber glove had split ,but apart from that ,all is well with the dye world.I have dyed 200g of tops & these have been done with two colours ,blue & pink & both are completely different even though I used the same dye.
Along with this colour of fleece,I thought I would mention my yearning for some dainty little macaroons(big hint for mothers day boys!!!)These are also in delicious ,I want one of those colours for spring!Dont forget my previous blog entry,they sell them in Cocoa in Brighton.

spicyboysauce.party contains a bunch of recipes that I have developed and refined over time. It's called spicyboysauce because I really like making hot sauce and I'm a pretty spicy boy.
This website is on github and all the recipes are formatted in markdown so they are easy to modify and contribute to. If you come up with a better version of one of my recipes, please open a request to change it. I put these on the internet with the hope that you can try and refine them with your own unique palate.
I hope you enjoy my food!

To all my dog lovers, my name is Shawn Davis. I'm the owner and the one who started Happy Paws! I started Happy Paws because probably like you, I LOVE dogs. I wanted to open a daycare/kennel where not only the dogs felt welcome, but where their owners felt welcome, too. When I opened Happy Paws, I owned a chocolate lab with special needs. Beau was not only blind, but was also a dwarf. Beau was my inspiration to make Happy Paws where I would want to be a customer myself. He passed away the summer of 2016 at the age of 4 (cancer sucks!). Despite losing him so early in his life, Beau is still with us at Happy Paws; he is not only the logo, but also the reason why I do what I do daily. In my free time I enjoy building rustic furniture and tinkering around with anything I can get my hands on. I also now own another chocolate lab, Kali, that always needs to be licking something! Kali also has a tripod sister, Gem, who has three legs and the two of them are the lights of my life. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read about my journey and I hope to meet you and the lights in your life in the near future!
My name is Clare and I've been a part of the Happy Paws team since the summer of 2016. Nothing makes me happier than working with your pups day in and day out. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to take care of them every day! I adopted my own dog in April of 2017. He is a one and a half year old Australian Cattle dog mix named Kyle. He is as smart and sweet as can be and enjoys coming to work with me almost every day! In my down time I enjoy hanging out with my nieces and nephew, cooking, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. I hope you love Happy Paws as much as Kyle and I do!

Delhi to get a global village soon
It is being set up in a sprawling area of 60 acres with 20 acres of parking near DND flyover, reports Amitabh Shukla.india Updated: Jan 24, 2007 21:32 IST
Following the successful lead of Dubai in establishing a hot tourist destination called "Global village", Delhi would have its own such village soon. This is being set up in a sprawling area of 60 acres with 20 acres of parking near Noida DND flyover. This year, the event would be organised from March 15 upto April 15.
"We want to sell Delhi as a top tourist destination to the world. This effort would go a long way in adding colour, adventure and exposition to both the domestic and foreign tourists' itinerary of the city," said Delhi Tourism minister Arvinder Singh Lovely.
So far 15 countries have confirmed their participation in the event to be held annually. These are China, Czech Republic, Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq, Kenya, Pakistan, Senegal, South Sub Sahara African countries, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, UAE and Vietnam.
The visitors can enjoy international pavilions, restaurant and cafes with global cuisine, a European fun fair, fireworks every weekend and an international carnival. The carnival would include Russian stilt walkers to Egyptian belly dancers and African drummers. Traditional Indian folk dancers too will join the carnival.
Lovely said the Delhi Tourism along with the Noida Toll Bridge Company has entered into a memorandum of understanding with a Dubai based company for the month long Global Village. "Display and sale of products from across the globe, exposition and marketing of ethnic handicrafts would be the feature of the village," said the minister.
Managing Director of Delhi Tourism, Sanat Kaul said the concept of Dubai has been replicated and promised that it will be a memorable event for the people of the city. "It would be a holistic package of entertainment, fun, frolic and shopping with an international flavour," promised Kaul.

Death and regrets
This is because I have not really been able to process some of the events of the last few weeks.
One of my patients died - very suddenly and very horribly. And I feel very responsible for her death. At some point, when I have stopped seeing her face in my dreams, I will write about it.
But for now, I have guilt. And it plagues me.
I could not face her family. I felt compelled to write them a letter expressing my sorrows and my regrets.
Now, I wait.

Jorge Solano Cortes was flown to the United States on Thursday
Jorge Solano Cortes was detained by Togolese police in November in an anti-drugs operation backed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Seven other Colombians, a Costa Rican and a Mexican were also detained, along with a South African, a Ghanaian and two Togolese.Police said the group was planning to fly 500 kg of cocaine from the northern town of Niamtougou in Togo, which is sandwiched between Ghana and Benin, to the Atlantic port of Lome from where it was to be smuggled in containers to Europe.Solano Cortes was flown to the United States on Thursday, Togo's government said in a statement, after it agreed to an extradition request from the U.S. Justice Department. He was wanted in the United States on charges of cocaine-smuggling.United Nations anti-narcotics experts say an increase of cocaine trafficking on West Africa's Atlantic seaboard in recent years has turned it into a "Coke Coast", with Colombian cartels using flotillas of planes and boats to smuggle drugs to Europe.Traffickers work with locals, sometimes in government or military and police circles, the experts say.Over the last three years, law enforcement authorities have made major cocaine seizures in Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Mauritania and Sierra Leone and have also focused on bauxite-producer Guinea as a suspected trans-shipment hub.The experts say this pressure has driven the traffickers to seek out smaller states like Gambia, Togo or Benin

Paying for college can be very intimidating. With tuition rates likely to rise drastically due to the changing economy, students preparing for college now are looking at paying an average of over $6,500 per year for a state-funded school.
For a private school, that cost soars to $25,000 per year. None of this accounts for room, board or text books.
Students without large amounts of savings are forced to choose between either costly student loans, which put them deep in debt at graduation, and skipping school altogether.
Fortunately, there are college scholarships and opportunities that can help students pay for some, if not all, of their college costs. These scholarships reduce the costs of college either by reducing the required tuition or by providing money to pay tuition costs.
According to the U.S. government, currently there is over $80 billion in financial aid being awarded every year to students. These scholarships and grants range from need-based ones, which are given out on the grounds of financial hardship, to merit-based scholarships given for academic excellence. There are also sports scholarships and even unusual ones for things such as being left handed or extremely tall.
The end result is that nearly every student qualifies for at least some scholarships and, as such, can have a sizable portion of the college financial burden removed. However, qualifying for and obtaining those scholarships are two different things and many students miss out simply because they don't know where to apply or don't wish to put in the time.
However, with just a few hours of work and some patience, it is easy to search through thousands of scholarships, find those which are a fit for your situation and apply to them.
Getting Started
For most students, the place to begin applying for scholarships is the Department of Education's Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA is a lengthy and detailed applications that pours over your financial information of yourself and, if needed, your family. This information is sent directly to the schools to which you are applying to qualify you for their scholarships and financial aid as well as to qualify you for Federal financial aid, such as Pell Grants, which make up the lion's share of financial aid available to students.
However, in addition to those programs, many scholarships, in particular need-based ones, also require a copy of a FAFSA to apply. Fortunately, filling out the FAFSA is relatively simple if you follow these steps:
Gather the required documents.
Determine your dependency status.
Apply for a PIN and have your parents do the same if needed.
Look up the desired school codes.
Fill out the FAFSA form online.
Make corrections and updates every year or as your situation changes.
Once you have done that, your application will be sent to the colleges you select and will make you eligible for financial aid through the Federal government. Also, you'll be given a printable version of your forms that you will be able to send to scholarship awarding organizations as part of their application process.
In addition to completing a FAFSA, you may wish to complete a PROFILE application as well. Though it is not as widely used as the FAFSA, many scholarships do require it in lieu of a FAFSA and many colleges accept it for determining financial aid.
You should be careful though not to send both a FAFSA and a PROFILE to the same school as it may slow down your financial aid processing.
Searching for Scholarships
Once you've got the FAFSA finished, you can then begin to search for scholarships that apply to you. Previously, this task meant pouring over pages of books to find a few scholarships that may apply, however, with the Web, it is almost trivial to locate scholarships that you may qualify for.
Currently, there are three major resources for finding scholarships on the Web:
FastWeb : The most popular and the largest resource, FastWeb has an index of over 1.3 million scholarships worth over $3 billion. The site also has information about colleges, internships and jobs that can help pay for college.
College Board Scholarship Search : College Board, the organization behind the SAT, has put together a database of scholarships worth approximately $3 billion.
Scholarships.com : Boasting a database of 2.7 million scholarships worth over $19 billion, Scholarships.com has the largest database and focuses heavily on local scholarships in addition to larger well-known ones.
Though the sites have different databases and different ways of collecting information, they fundamentally work the same.
They start by having students create a profile, which includes detailed information about their academics, athletics, background and intended schools/major and then matches them with scholarships that may apply to them. These searches then give students the information they need to apply for those scholarships and, hopefully, receive the needed funds.
All three sites are completely free and there is no harm in trying out all of them. However, it is important to keep track of which scholarships you have applied for and which you have not to avoid double-sending applications or skipping over good possibilities.
No matter which site you use, you should have a lengthy list of scholarships to consider and start applying to.
Applying for Scholarships
When applying for scholarships, it is important to remember that every scholarship is different both in terms of the requirements for applying and criteria upon which it is judged. As such, it is important to take a moment to thoroughly read every scholarship's requirements and make sure that you are both eligible for them, remember that these searches are not 100% perfect, and that you complete the requirements.
Some of the typical requirements for scholarships include the following:
Standardized test scores
Financial aid forms (FAFSA)
Tax returns
Letters of recommendation
Proof of eligibility
For items that may be required by many different scholarships, it is best to have them scanned into your computer. That way, if a scholarship allows you to apply online or via email, you can attach the files. If a scholarship requires a mailed copy, you can print it out.
The best advice for completing an application is to follow the instructions to the letter. Do not leave any blanks in the application, file it well before the deadline and include all needed supporting materials.
Likewise, if a scholarship requires an essay, it is important to stay on the essay's topic and remember your basic rules for essay writing. Also, doing a little bit of research on the topic can help give your essay an edge over others that don't invest any significant time into it.
However, the most important thing to remember is that you will not receive every scholarship nor, likely, a large percentage of them. As such, it is important to apply to as many scholarships as practical and to not shy away from smaller ones.
Scholarships in the $2,000-$500 range tend to be less competitive and more plentiful. Though you might be passed over for a $5,000 scholarship, you may be able to obtain multiple smaller one that equal it in value.
However, even by themselves those scholarships can make a huge difference.
The bottom line is to apply broadly (focusing first on scholarships that are the best fit for you), follow the rules closely and remember that every penny counts.
Bottom Line
Just twenty years ago, applying for scholarships was a tremendous ordeal that involved pouring over hundreds of pages of information and in the hopes of finding one that fit you. However, with modern search engines, the scholarships almost seem to find you.
With so many billions of dollars of scholarships and grants available, there is no reason to not apply and try to make college as affordable as possible. The more money you're able to collect from scholarships, the less you'll have to either borrow or spend from your savings.
On that note, every little bit helps. A few dollars here and there can go a long way in the big picture, especially if you are forced to take out student loans.
Best of all, you don't need to actually have the FAFSA filled out or even apply for college to see what your options are. Anyone can fill out the profiles and look for scholarships today to see what possibilities they have waiting for them.
Even if you are only considering going to college, it is worth taking a few moments to see what your options are, you may find out that college is more feasible than you thought.

BackgroundFormer studies have shown increased mental health problems in adolescents after parental divorce all over the Western world. We wanted to see if that still is the case in Norway today when divorce turns to be more and more common.
MethodsIn a prospective study design, two samples were constituted, adolescents at a baseline survey in 2001-02 n = 2422 and those at follow-up in 2003-04 n = 1861, when the adolescents were 15-16 and 18-19 years-old, respectively. They answered self-administered questionnaires in both surveys of Young-HUBRO in Oslo. Early parental divorce was defined as that which occured before age 15-16 years, and late divorce occured between age 15-16 and 18-19. Internalized and externalized mental health problems were measured by the Hopkin's Symptom Check List HSCL-10 and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire SDQ.
ResultsAfter linear regression models were adjusted for gender, ethnicity, family economy, social support, and mental health problem symptoms measured at baseline before parental divorce occured, late parental divorce did not lead to significant increase in mental health problems among adolescents in the city of Oslo. Early parental divorce was associated with internal mental health problems among young adolescents when adjusted only for the first four possible confounders.
ConclusionsIt seems that parental divorce in late adolescence does not lead to mental health problems in Norway any more, as has been shown before, while such problems may prevail among young adolescents. This does not mean that parental divorce create less problems in late adolescence than before but these youths might have developed adjustment abilities against health effects as divorce have turned to be more common.
