World Energy Council issues 10-point action plan for sustainable future
Report lays out collective path for governments, industry, and finance
World Energy Congress, Daegu, Korea, 15 October 2013: The World Energy Council (WEC) today issued a 10-point action plan for how governments, industry, and key decision-makers should refocus their efforts and resources to achieve real progress in resolving the energy trilemma.
The report, "World Energy Trilemma: Time to get real – the agenda for change", was launched as the world's energy leaders gather in South Korea for the World Energy Congress. It provides a detailed guide to creating a global policy framework that addresses the energy trilemma: energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability.
The report is the culmination of the findings of a two-year World Energy Council study, "World Energy Trilemma", conducted with Oliver Wyman, the management consulting firm. Recommendations from the past two years of study were the result of interviews with over 100 energy leaders in 41 countries, including chief executives, ministers, and heads of development banks.
Joan MacNaughton, Executive Chair of the WEC's World Energy Trilemma studies, said:
"Governments face a daunting challenge to deliver secure, affordable and environmentally sustainable energy services. How well they meet it has a fundamental bearing on the social and economic prospects of their countries. Over the last two years our World Energy Trilemma study has identified what governments and energy leaders believe is needed to balance the energy trilemma.
"These leaders say they are ready to act now, but acknowledge that they need more guidance and support. Our analysis provides the basis for countries to assess their political and institutional risk, and our new 'Agenda for Change' report describes how they can mitigate such risk and unlock the investment to deliver the required energy infrastructure. This subject will be the core of discussions between government and business leaders at the World Energy Congress'.
The WEC's 10-point Agenda for Change action plan includes:
- Action 1: Connect the energy trilemma to the broader national agenda
- Action 2: Provide leadership to build consensus – nationally and globally
- Action 3: Improve policymaker dialogue
- Action 4: Increase engagement with the financial community
- Action 5: Minimise policy and regulatory risk and ensure optimal risk allocation
- Action 6: Adopt market-based approaches to carbon pricing to drive investments
- Action 7: Design transparent, flexible and dynamic pricing frameworks
- Action 8: Drive (green) trade liberalisation
- Action 9: Meet the need for more research, development & demonstration (RD&D)
- Action 10: Encourage joint pre-commercial industry initiatives, including early large-scale demonstration and deployment.
According to the report, addressing strong demand growth, widening access to the 1.2 billion people currently not served by energy grids, and balancing the upgrade of ageing infrastructure with environmentally progressive systems requires investment and coordination on an unprecedented scale. However, the impact of shale gas discoveries in more than 40 countries, cost breakthroughs in certain renewable technologies, and increasing the efficiency of transport, construction and household energy use could enable communities to live and work within a widely more sustainable energy landscape.
The report calls for better consultation and coordination between policymakers, industry, consumers and developers to create a sustainable energy framework that has the support of all stakeholders.
Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), commented at the launch of the report at the World Energy Congress:
"The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change clearly sounded the alarm that greenhouse gas emissions will cause tremendous and irreversible harm to the economies of the world if not quickly curbed. The good news is that the money, technology and policy tools to shift the current emissions trajectory and steer humanity out of the danger zone are available. The Trilemma report demonstrates that a sustainable energy future is possible if all of these tools are deployed quickly and at scale. It also shows a strong willingness to act by the energy sector. I recommend that governments look closely at the report and act on its conclusions, which will strengthen the outcome of the 2015 global climate agreement and raise immediate ambition to curb greenhouse gases."
Christoph Frei, Secretary General of the World Energy Council, said:
"We stand on the verge of a genuinely more sustainable energy future. Technology is developing at an unparalleled pace and could unlock new opportunities to meet the needs of consumers and businesses. But daunting challenges remain. Our Agenda for Change provides new hope for the world's energy leaders to redouble their collective efforts to put the policies and plans in place that will create a global sustainable energy framework."
John Drzik, CEO of Oliver Wyman, project partner to the WEC on the Trilemma studies, said:
"Economic growth requires sustainable energy, and sustainable energy requires sustainable policy. Our study with the World Energy Council shows that many countries have made huge strides, but all need to do more. Business and political leaders need to work together to shape long-term energy policies which reduce risk and create a more favourable environment for energy investment."
The publication of today's report follows the launch last month of the WEC study, "World Energy Trilemma: Time to get real – the case for sustainable energy investment", and its 2013 Energy Sustainability Index.

Sequels, Part Two, Taking Joy in Writing
5 comments:
I don't know if this is really related to what you're saying--I think it is, but I'm kind of crazy. I always think that if I'm not enjoying what I'm writing, people probably won't enjoy reading it. So I typically delete the entire section that is weighing me down and go in a whole other direction with it--and it always ends up a million times better.ReplyDelete
Sequels are such tricky things, but like you're friend said everyone has their own tastes of what their favorite book was. In Harry Potter, I like number 3 and I'm with you on the Narnia series with The Last Battle being my favorite.ReplyDelete
Great post. I agree 100 %. I understand that it is important to keep the audience in mind, but you can't please everyone. Just write the story in your heart. I think that is the best any of us can do.ReplyDelete
I can definitely tell when a writer is writing something for the demand and not for their own creative muse. Sometimes they can pull it off but other times...you almost wish they hadn't bothered. Like with LJ Smith and her fourth Vampire Diaries book. She didn't want to write it but the fans and her publisher were vying for it back then and it totally ruined a good thing. She should have stopped after the first three books:(ReplyDelete
I think if you utilize the skills you have and write with passion and revise, revise, revise ... it will all work out the way it's supposed to!! And not everyone will like it.ReplyDelete

Most places prefer that you rent or reserve your tuxedo at least three weeks prior to the event date. Especially during the prom season, which is the busiest season of the year!
If you reserve your tuxedo in a timely manner, you won't have to worry about availability. Once you come in and reserve your tuxedo, vest, and tie, they take it out of the system so no one else can rent it. You won't have to worry that the one you wanted, won't be available for your special day!
If you have a particular color that has to match the girls dress and you procrastinate, you may find out that they ran out of that color of vest and tie you needed and had to give you the closest thing to it.
The most common problem that occurs when guys wait , is that the average sizes and most popular jackets rent out first. When this happens, they have to substitute if, for either a more expensive jacket or maybe the cheapest looking one.
You may also accure a rush fee, on top of the rental cost. Especially if it has to be shipped over night!
Most places only require a deposit and you can pay the balance when you pick it up.
Tuxedos are usually a weekend rental and never come in any sooner than a few days prior to the event, unless you pay for another weekend rental.
Rent it now and get it off your mind!

This week's managed futures spotlight belongs to none other than Quantum Leap Capital. It is not often you meet a CTA from Mexico- never mind a CTA that also built a world class visual effects studio (also in Mexico) that won an Oscar for its work on the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Today, we introduce you to Quantum Leap Capital, a short term managed futures program founded by Mr. Alejandro Diego of Chapultepec, Mexico – who is the only CTA we know of that hails from Mexico.
Who is the Manager?
Mr. Diego has taken the path less traveled in his journey to becoming a commodity trading advisor. Armed with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Rice University in Houston, Mr. Diego traveled to Stuggart, Germany to work for Daimler-Benz as an intern in their research and development division. Alejandro's mother is of German descent and he had a keen interest in visiting her homeland after school. During his time at Daimler, Mr. Diego had his first exposure to computer graphics systems that were used to aid in engine and car design, as well as water-cooled supercomputers to process all the design specifications.
That's really only the tip of the iceberg. Click here to read the whole piece: http://bit.ly/jh5uTM

Last night I had a knitting and cocktail accident. It wasn't oh I knit all these stitches wrong kinda accident though..
We were having some very strong cosmos last night and I was working on a sock while we talked, drank, and watched a movie. As the evening progressed I stopped knitting because I did not want to mess up my sock so it ended up on the floor on top of my purse. So later in the evening I was getting up to pet the dog and I musted have stepped down wrong and ended up with a sharp metal knitpicks DPN in the side of my foot threw my blue jeans. I think it went in somewhere between and half to an inch into my foot but I could be wrong everything was kinda fuzzy.
So I pulled it out and checked the wound and it bled a bit but not to bad. But it hurts today so we'll see how it goes. Luckily I am up to date on my tetanus shots.

Given their different cultures, the pair's relationship starts off cold and distant, but the ice starts to thaw as they get to know each other.

Female firefighter wins vindication after 12-year fight for justice
LIANE TESSIER HAS A BURNING DESIRE TO SEE JUSTICE DONE. It brought her victory in her battle against systemic sexual discrimination and workplace harassment in the Halifax fire department. But none of if came easy.
Halifax Fire Chief Ken Stuebing delivered a formal apology to Liane on behalf of the Halifax fire service and the the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission at a public news conference on Decemember 18.
The chief apologized to all female firefighters who suffered systemic gender discrimination in the city. He said he wanted to acknowledge a part of the service's history that "we are not proud of."
Tessier was 34 years old when she began working as a volunteer firefighter in 1998 at station 60 in Herring Cove, on the outskirts of Halifax. A few years later, she began picking up paid 24-hour shifts with the goal of becoming a professional firefighter.
She rose to captain and devoted herself to instructing new recruits and to skills competitions. She won many awards including a first place in the Canadian Scott Firefit Championships in 2006 and a third place at the World Firefighter Championships in 2007. None of it helped her at work.
Liane says she was bullied, ostracized, made the subject of ugly gossip and regularly had her equipment tampered with. She wasn't given a new uniform when they were ordered and then disciplined for not having appropriate clothing at work.
It was "death by a thousand cuts," she told the CBC.
A threat to 'these guys'
"For some reason I started blaming myself. I worked harder. And the harder I worked, the more it seemed to be a threat to these guys."
In her human rights complaint, Liane said when she reported the discrimination to her superiors, it got worse. She said she faced retaliation from colleagues, stopped getting called for shifts and was eventually denied a full-time job.
"Every woman who's ever spoken out, who's ever dared to tell the truth, has been destroyed," Liane told the CBC.
"You're attacked. You're hated."
She said she feared for her safety on the job. "All the time, you were watching your back."
A long road to justice
By 2007, two years of standing up for herself and getting nowhere were enough. Liane Tessier stopped taking shifts as a firefighter. The old boys had won. They forced her to abandon her plans to make firefighting a lifelong career.
But Liane wasn't done fighting. She filed a human rights complaint about her treatment as a firefighter. The commission took four long years to decide Liane's complaint did not deserve any action from them. That didn't stop Liane.
She took the commission itself to court—and won. In May 2014, the court ordered the commission to re-examine her case, starting with a public hearing.
More years passed. The commission finally scheduled the public hearing for the fall of 2017. The timing could not have been worse for the powers that be.
Just days before the hearing date the mistreatment and abuse of women became front page news around the world—the result of a barrage of very public charges from women against Hollywood big wig Harvey Weinstein. The city did not want to try and defend itself against Liane Tessier's charges in the middle of such a charged public atmosphere. They offered Liane a settlement to avoid a public hearing.
Liane reluctantly agreed—but only when the city met her demands: in particular, her demand to be free to tell her story, her way.
Employers will have to walk their talk
Liane observes: "It's too bad that a movie star has to start the conversation and suddenly we pay attention when ordinary women for decades have been speaking out and no one's listening."
"Gender-based violence is not going to stop because of this apology. But hopefully my struggle, this settlement, and this public apology, will put other employers on notice.
"They are going to have to act. They are going to have to walk their talk. I am watching, and now the public is too."
Her battle consumed Liane Tessier for years. She's ready ot move on. But it won't be easy. Her fight pushed her to the brink of suicide and left her with depression and a lingering feeling of mistrust.
"You become more isolated, you stick to yourself more, you don't trust people," she said.
"I lost my sense of joy for things. I lost a big part of myself. I was so obsessed with justice and having my voice be heard.
Liane Tessier's burning desire for justice brought her vindication—but at a cost few among us—man or woman—would have the courage to undertake.

0.66 Released
Important bug fix in creation of constructor transients using lazy loading. Please update. API and functionality not changed - bug fix only.
Important bug fix in creation of constructor transients using lazy loading. Please update. API and functionality not changed - bug fix only.
Want to see what it is like to let your bean dictate some of its dependency injections? Try out LightWire 0.62. For now it is just for mixin injections and requires you to add a simple cfset in your init() methos rather than adding true annotations and reading them via getmetadata.
The bottom line is that if you'd like to move some (or all) of your bean definitions into your beans a la Google Guice, 0.62 lets you give it a shot.
I'm looking for feedback on how this should work before I implement it in a more elegant manner, but it's tested and working on my sites, so check it out and let me know what you think!
To add mixin injections (in addition to those described in your central bean config) add the following to your init() method (MUST be in the init() method):
Replacing "UserService,ProductService" with a comma delimited list of bean names you want to inject.
I've been looking at Google Guice. At first, I really didn't like the idea of using annotations to provide beans that describe their own DI requirements for my use case.
I use a Software Product Line approach with a single framework for generating all of my sites, and it is not uncommon for me to decide something like: "I'm going to inject another bean called %ObjectName%Mapper into all of my %ObjectName%Service beans". Such a change would be painful to make with annotations as I'd need to edit ALL of my beans in all of my projects. With a central programmatic config file, I can just go into the loop that sets the properties for all business objects and add a single line of code . . .
Joe noticed a thread safety issue I hadn't remembered to double lock (shame on me). Paul also made some updates to his XML reader in the BaseConfig.
SVN and project zip file now updated.
Get it while it's hot! The main driver for this release was to be more ColdSpring compatible so for a good range of use cases you'll be able to switch seamlessly between DI engines allowing you to late bind the decision on what DI engine to use for a given project (for instance you might prototype with LW and then port to ColdSpring later or vica-versa).
There have been a couple of major API changes to LightWire as well as some improvements under the hood . . . Please note, due to API changes, this is NOT backwards compatible with 0.5 but updating your config beans should only take a minute or two and I think it is more than worth it for the benefits. This should be the last major API change. Find out more about the new API and the new features designed to make it very easy to interchange LightWire with ColdSpring for use cases not requiring AOP, remote bean proxies or autowiring . . .
I finally got a couple of hours to port LightWire to using a config file. It adds one extra file to the project (a BaseConfigObject.cfc), but it makes for a much nicer interface for configuration and would make it trivial to add support for ColdSpring XML files for anyone who wanted to write a small script to loop through an XML file and call the appropriate config methods.
I have full support for constructor, setter and mixin injection and properties, and a nice clean programmatic interface in the config files. I think an enterprising person could also quite easily write a script to go through the config struct exposed by the bean calling getConfigStruct() and turning it into a ColdSpring XML file for easy export of programmatically generated config files as static XML files.
I have also written a little test bed which shows the basic operations of LightWire within a sample project along with the latest copy of LightWire. The one core DI thing still missing is support for using your own factories . I've just not had a use for this personally, but as a proof of concept I'll add optional code to the test harness you can use to use Transfer as a factory within LightWire. That should be in some time tonight if I get another hour to drop it in between paying projects.
The only other thing I see missing (other than AOP and remote bean proxies which I *will* be adding my own take on) is autowiring, which I'm just not into at all and so won't be bloating up the framework with all of the necessary introspection code to implement a solution that I just don't think is a good approach.
Oh, and there is one BIG thing that LightWire is SHAMELESSLY MISSING. It is the perfect kind of project for unit testing and it DOESN'T HAVE ANY TESTS :-< I've read the books, I've downloaded the framework, I understand the benefits, but somehow I'm just still not quite test infected. If any kind soul would be willing to contribute a couple of sample tests to show how they'd go about adding unit tests to this it'd be much appreciated :->
Check out the files in the Subversion repository at http://svn.riaforge.org/lightwire. Latest version is under trunk/LightWire0.5. Or you can download the enclosed zip file below (click on "download").
I've just upgraded LightWire (from version 0.001) to support proper constructor, setter and (the newly defined) mixin injection methods. It handles circular dependencies in all three (or any combination of them), provides lazy loading and has a very simple to use programmatic config file. It is also optimized to inject dependencies into transients as well as singletons and at under 300 lines of code, there is only so much that can go wrong :->
If you're looking to better understand how Dependency Injection/Inversion of Control works, at under three hundred lines of code it makes perfect sense to at least check out LightWire to see one way to implement a simple DI engine. If you're just looking for a DI engine off the shelf to solve a problem, I've outlined some of the strengths of LightWire as well as the outstanding priority enhancements and outstanding issues that are less of a priority to give a sense of the current state of play of the LightWire experiment.
Since I'm writing my own Dependency Injection engine (LightWire), I though I might as well blog about the process and the design decisions in case anyone is interested in the thinking required to create a simple DI engine. If anyone notices any design flaws, I'd love to hear about them!!! You can follow along with the code (it'll be updated before tomorrow morning) at http://lightwire.riaforge.org using either the zip file or the subversion repository.
[UPDATE] Just added all the code to this posting as well, so you can follow along without having to download files!
To get started with LightWire download the LightWire.cfc and the sample LightWireConfig.cfm from the SVN repository. You can place either file anywhere you want. I personally put the cfc in .com.lib (my library directory) and the config file in a "config" directory both of which are below my web root for a given project, but you can put the files anywhere you want.
The structure of this file may change, but right now it seems to be working well for a 0.01 release :-> Any input always appreciated.
Quite some time ago there was a lot of discussion about adding interfaces and constructors and a bunch of other Java-esque features to CF. Apart from the great comments by Jared and Sean on the fact that you don't NEED a constructor as a language construct (the init() convention is fine), I have one more reason to not want constructors – it makes circular resolution of constructor dependencies impossible.
One of the limitations of ColdSpring is that you can't have constructor injection of circular dependencies. The reason is (presumably) because ColdSpring follows the Init() convention and treats init() as a genuine constructor. If it treated it as a pseudo constructor (which is what it is), there wouldn't be a problem.
In LightWire, all of the objects are instantiated (without calling the init method) and then the init method is run in each allowing for circular constructor dependencies because of the fact that init() isn't a true constructor so I can "create" all of the dependent objects and then immediately afterwards can init() them with their dependencies before returning the requested object. Of course, I probably need to do some thinking about making this thread safe for application scoped objects, but it allows for full or lazy loading and for resolution of circular dependencies even in the "constructor" arguments which seems to me to be pretty cool.
So, please don't add more limitations to ColdFusion. I like it just the way it is!

Tiffany Hosey is a business executive, lawyer and recent innovator in construction analytics. While working as a civil litigator for over 15 years, her experience ranged from the defense of professional liability cases to serving as counsel to a panel of judges overseeing a multi-billion dollar products liability litigation fund. Before founding BuilDATAnalytics, she worked for 7 years as President of her family's construction management company.
Tiffany created CTBIM out of her need for an evidenced based approach to construction. While working with her family's construction company, she was often challenged by the lack of accountability controls, cost controls and paucity of information on routine issues prevalent on most construction projects. After creating CTBIM, BuilDATAnalytics was chosen out of over 250 competitors as a winner of the 1st Ballston BID Launchpad Challenge, sponsored by Ted Leonsis and the Ballston Business Improvement District.
Tiffany has been a guest lecturer for the Strategy and Entrepreneurship program at Marymount University School of Business Administration, and has presented a webinar to the Department of Construction Science at Texas A&M.
She holds a Class A Contractor's license from the Commonwealth of Virginia; is certified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Quality Control Construction Management; is proficient in written and spoken Japanese; and holds a J.D. from The George Washington University Law School and a B.A. in English Literature from Georgetown University.
As Chief Financial Officer, Larry An has primary responsibility for developing and executing our company revenue strategy. He is a seasoned small business professional with over a decade of experience working with large Commercial and Federal Government Clients. He holds a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration from the University of Colorado at Boulder, where shortly after, he began his career at various Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms focused in Entertainment Business Management and Federal/State Taxation.

The hands down new face of spring 2008 is Tollerød, 19 (above, at Karl Lagerfeld show). Tollerød was ubiquitous, but in the best way: From the first day of Fashion Week in New York (September 5) to the very last in Paris (October 7), she was in 60 shows, including Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Lanvin, Chloé, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Yves Saint Laurent. Of course, there's a fairy-tale element to her discovery. Three years ago, when she was 16, a scout from Milan's Joy Models spotted her shopping with friends in a Kristiansand mall and signed her up. She tried modeling for a little while but decided to go home and finish high school before pursuing a career. Last year after graduating, she signed with Trump. One moment I was home with my family, the next I was shooting Italian Vogue with Steven Klein, she says. Further proof that 2007 is the year of Siri: She landed the plum DKNY fall campaign, a September spread in V magazine, and shoots in a trifecta of Vogues (German, Italian, British). Tollerød is an international-airport regular now but, judging by her use of emoticons, still a teenager: She listens to Michael Jackson and thinks America's Next Top Model is silly. Yet she's also developed opinions about fashion and prefers Paris Fashion Week to the rest. They know how to put on a good showit's like theater. But I like Milan and New York too.

Every season has its otherworldly creature, and this time it's Tyelna; with her enormous eyes, she sometimes resembles a beautiful alien. When Italian Vogue shot her for its July issue (along with Agyness Deyn, Sasha Pivovarova, and Tasha Tilberg), her slightly spooky blue eyes were the focus of every shot. Tyelna walked for Prada, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci, DKNY, Vera Wang, Jil Sander, Chloé, and Marc by Marc Jacobs (above) this spring. And at Marc Jacobs's spectacle, she closedor opened, in his flipped-around finish-to-start orderthe show.

Call Vakulenko the fragile tower: She's just over five eleven, with a 23-inch waist. Serafima strikes the balance between wide-eyed innocence and inherent elegance, says Philip Lim, who used her in his spring show. You want to rescue her from the world. Vakulenko walked her first runway at Giorgio Armani's spring 2007 Privé, and she was exclusive for Prada in Milan for fall 2007. Her spring shows included Marc Jacobs, Yigal Azrouël, Thakoon, Yves Saint Laurent, Jil Sander (right), and the season's biggest, Lanvin.

With her slight sulk and curtain of inky hair, Collison sometimes appears as the tough girl in a sea of ethereal blondes. It's as if she walked out of The Outsiders, says Rodarte co-designer Laura Mulleavy, who used Collison in the Rodarte show (right) this season. Collison, five eleven, also walked Anna Sui and Peter Som in New York, and Prada in Milan. She's a newbie, but Steven Meisel who's known for his ability to spot a budding superstarjust shot her for the cover of Italian Vogue.

Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa demanded an exclusive on Garrn this season, meaning she wasn't allowed to walk in any other designer's show. Why is this significant? Here are some of the other models who have been exclusive for Calvin Klein in the past: Kate Moss and Natalia Vodianova. And look what happened to them.

A warning against heart disease complacency in 2016
Although death from heart disease in Australia continues to decrease, we cannot rest on our laurels. The greatest barrier to reducing the social and economic toll of heart disease has been complacency. As a nation, we have dropped the ball. It's time to think again.
Heart disease continues to result in more Australian deaths than any other single cause, and remains the leading cause of death for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It continues to place a heavy burden on our already stretched health system, demanding the highest expenditure for any individual disease group at $7.7 billion in 2008–09 (http://www.aihw.gov.au/australias-health/2014/health-system).
Most Australians are either sedentary or engage in low levels of physical activity. Obesity among adults has almost tripled in the last two decades (http://www.aihw.gov.au/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=6442459497). Our ageing community, and the success in treating previously fatal heart conditions, means more people are living with heart diseases.
The devastating impact of inaction will see the number of adults with obesity double to 41% by 2031–32, and cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are estimated to cost the government $58 billion if…

Hello SOTGC community,
Have you ever Googled the phrase "work-life balance?" I did. My search resulted in more than 297,000,000 hits. 297,000,000! Say that number out loud with me. Two-hundred-and-ninety-seven-MILLION. Take a minute to really let the implication of that number sink in.
297,000,000 books, articles, TED talks, research studies, blogs, coaches, consultants, quizzes, questionnaires, and quotes (just to name a few). 297,000,000 resources dedicated to the mysterious, often elusive, concept of finding "a comfortable state of equilibrium" between work and personal life (businessdictionary.com). Seems to me that with all this information floating around the interwebs, someone would have found the definitive answer by now, dontcha think?
Libra Seeking Balance
I've been a working mom for almost 24 years (gulp) – and I'm a Libra. You'd think this whole balance thing would be a breeze for me. Don't get me wrong, I've experienced moments (however brief) of calm serenity. Fleeting instances of meeting all my deadlines, achieving my goals, making prioritized to-do lists (without losing them) and then triumphantly crossing the items off one by one, all while being fully present with friends and family AND taking time out for me. That's right – I brought home the bacon AND fried it up in the pan.
The problem is I can't seem to maintain that sense of centered well-being. Truth be told, I usually muck things up for myself by adding just one more ace of spades to my already precarious house of cards. I'm like a burnout junkie. I need of a support group.
Hi. My name is Casey, and I'm unbalanced.
Hi, Casey.
A New Focus
So how have I sabotaged my sanity this time? Grad school … again. Yup, apparently my "full-time career, husband, youngest kid starting college in the fall, side coaching business, volunteer board position, article deadlines, and close family member fighting a life-threatening illness" dance card just wasn't full enough. And, in all seriousness, most days I feel like I'm drowning.
Here at SOTGC, I usually write about leadership and career development. But, during the next few months, I'm switching gears. I've come out of the I-only-LOOK-like-I-have-all-my-shit-together closet to share my personal struggle to find true and lasting balance.
In this new series, Tipping the Scale, I'll write about topics like the illusion of time management, overwhelm, perfectionism, saying "yes," saying "no," parental guilt, girlfriends, success, fear, failure, wellness, love, marriage, and maybe even sex (hell, I figure if I don't have time to HAVE it I might as well WRITE about it).
Please join me on this no-holds-barred, definitely vulnerable, hopefully humorous, always real journey towards unleashing my inner Libra. Maybe we'll learn something together. If you're with me on this…will you Tweet, share on Facebook, or Pin this post?

Expanded Partnership Personalizes the On-Site User Experience Across RT's Global Publisher Network, Driving Audience Engagement, Monetization, and Video Growth
NEW YORK and LONDON, April 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taboola®, the leading global discovery platform, today announced an expansion of its exclusive, multi-year partnership with RT, one of the leading global news networks reaching over 49 million unique users online*. Working closely with RT's business, editorial, and product teams, the collaboration integrates Taboola's Full Page Personalization across the entire RT global network of desktop, tablet, and mobile properties, driving audience development, engagement, and monetization goals for the publisher.
Taboola's Full Page Personalization (FPP) enables publisher teams to customize the broader on-site experience for RT users, through a variety of implementations that adapt to different audience segments in real-time. Examples of FPP include personalizing the share tool experience so that frequent sharers see bigger buttons or WhatsApp shares, while others see no sharing buttons at all. Another example is Taboola's mobile-optimized "read more" button which can be targeted to certain users to increase the visibility of in-article modules for smartphone users.
RT is utilizing FPP to segment its audience into actionable user segments, including engaged users, one-time visitors, and frequent video viewers. Engaged audiences would automatically see more of RT's leading editorial content, while one-time visitors who tend to be more inconsistent in their content consumption behavior would automatically be served additional promoted stories. Additionally, on-site users who are more likely to consume video would be presented with a video-centric experience, increasing overall video views. These combined efforts have already generated a 27 percent increase in organic click-through-rates (CTR), and a 23 percent improvement in revenue.
"RT's global audience consumes our content daily across multiple platforms and in six languages. We consider the experience of each user to be paramount and Taboola's technology allows us to serve every individual who engages with our content in a more personalized way," said Kirill Karnovich-Valua, Head of Online Projects, at RT. "Taboola not only shares this vision with us, but has developed a full-service platform that empowers our organization to customize the on-site experience for different audiences, as our business and audience development goals change."
RT's global network includes fully-responsive websites and tablet/mobile apps in English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, French, and German. Taboola supports these languages and dozens of others around the world, including Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese, and more.
"Personalization has become a priority for any publisher that is fighting to retain and grow their audience, but it's especially exciting for wide-reaching publishers like RT that serve a variety of users around the world," said Adam Singolda, founder and CEO at Taboola. "RT has already done a fantastic job building on its broadcast business to become a true digital powerhouse, both across the web and on platforms like YouTube. We're excited to work together on unlocking new personalization-driven strategies that further move the needle."
Taboola's predictive technology analyzes hundreds of real-time signals (such as referral source, device type, geography, and more) to predict the top handful of items a user may want to consume next. With headquarters in New York City and its European operations based in London, Taboola has signed partnerships with several leading publishers throughout Europe and around the world, including AOL, MSN, Daily Mail, ESI Media, Eurosport, and more.
*According to comScore (February 2016)

Some Notes on Censorship of Hebrew Books
by Norman Roth
Habent sua fata libelli (Books have their fate)
One of the tragedies of the Inquisition and the Expulsions – both from Spain and Portugal– which has received very little attention is the destruction and loss of Hebrew manuscripts and books. Since the printing of Hebrew books in Spain began many years before the Expulsion, this loss involved printed books as well as manuscripts. Indeed, due to these losses, since only fragments survive of some of the earliest examples of Hebrew printing in Spain it may be impossible to ever know with certainty when this printing actually began. [1]
The edict of Expulsion (1492) caught the Jews of Spain completely by surprise.Even though extensions were granted, it was not always possible to arrange for the transport of books, perhaps especially for the several thousand Jews of northern Castile who had to make their way on foot across the border into Portugal. [2] Many of the Jewish exiles of 1492 returned from Portugal and North Africa in that year and in 1493, as well as later years, to be baptized and live again in Spain. Fernando and Isabel permitted these conversos to keep Hebrew and Arabic books as long as they were not about the Jewish law or glosses and commentaries to the Bible, or, specifically mentioned, the Talmud or prayer books. A Jew of Borja who returned after the Expulsion and converted to Christianity reported that a Jewish cofradía (religious brotherhood) of that town had left 55 books valued at 4,000 jaqueses, but he wanted no part of the books because he had converted.[3]
Isaac Ibn Faraj, one of the exiles from Portugal, reported that the king had ordered that all the books which the Jews had brought with them from Spain were to be collected and burned. Nonetheless, not all books were, in fact, burned. Another source reveals that long after the Jews were expelled from Portugal, the king of Morocco sent Jewish delegates there, one of whom was a qabalist who asked permission to see a famous biblical manuscript brought by the Jews from Spain, and this manuscript was among the books seized by the king and kept in a "synagogue filled with books."[4]
Levi Ibn Shem Tov and his two brothers, apparently the great-grandsons of the Spanish qabalist Shem Tov b. Joseph (not, as usually stated, Shem Tov b. Shem Tov), advised King Manoel to seize all the Jewish books. Their intention had also been to burn the Sefer ha-emunot of their great-grandfather, because of his criticism of Maimonides, but they became afraid because of an order of the king not to burn any Jewish books, and therefore they hid the book in a synagogue in Lisbon. When the Jews were expelled from Portugal, those Jews who had been appointed by the king to search out and seize all books discovered this hidden manuscript and brought it, along with portions of the yet-unpublished Zohar, to Turkey (these men were Moses Zarco, Isaac Barjilun, Moses Mindeh [?], and apparently Solomon Ibn Verga, author of the semi-fictitious chronicle Shevet Yehudah). This undeniably accurate testimony appears to contradict the eyewitness account of Ibn Faraj mentioned earlier. Either he was confused, or else the king issued contradictory orders at different times.[5]
In 1533 the Talmud was, once again, condemned to the flames in Italy, and with it also legal codes or summaries derived from the Talmud. As in Spain and Portugal, censorship of all Jewish books was under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition. In 1568 a second, more sweeping, destruction of Hebrew books was carried out. Not only Jews, but even Christians, who dared to print such prohibited Hebrew books were subject to punishment, such as exile in the case of Jews, or loss of license in the case of Christians. Rabbi Judah Lerma, perhaps the first Sefardic author who so declared himself, proudly, on the title page of his book, published his Lehem Yehudah, a commentary on Avot, in Sabionetta (1554).
In his introduction to the work, printed by Tuviah Foa, he states he had already had it printed in the previous year, but the decree consigning to the flames the Talmud and Jacob Ibn Habib's famous anthology of the talmudic agadah had also caught his work, as well as the laws of Isaac al-Fasi, and the entire edition of 1500 copies of his book (a very large printing for the time) was burned. (Later he was able to purchase, at great cost, one copy which had been saved by Gentiles; if that copy had survived until today it would certainly be the rarest Hebrew book in the world.)
David Conforte (1618-1685) also briefly cited this introduction, noting that his maternal grandfather Yequtiel Azuz, a grammarian and qabalist who lived in Italy, lost his own copy of the Talmud in the burning which took place in the same year. Ironically, a later Judah Lerma, a rabbi in Belgrade, an apparent descendant of Judah Lerma, also lost most of the edition of his own responsa in a fire in that city (ca.1650), but at least that was a natural disaster. [6]
Shortly after the burning of the Talmud, Rabbi Samuel de Medina of Salonica,who already had news of the event, wrote that because of this, and the general religious persecution taking place in Italy, any Jew who remains there "without doubt shows no fear for his soul or his Torah," for were it not so how would a Jew dare remain there? Furthermore, he wrote, it is impossible even to study Torah (Talmud) in Italy. Therefore, all Italian Jews should come to the Ottoman empire to live, since "the soul and body and also possessions are immeasurably safer in this kingdom."[7]
Marranos and Censorship
In addition to this loss of manuscripts and books, the invention of printing brought with it a new fear, that of censorship. Much has been written about the censorship of Hebrew books at the hands of Christians, but less known is the "internal" censorship practiced particularly by "Marranos," or descendants of those who converted to Christianity and then decided to become Jews. They often brought with them the inherited Catholic condemnation of people (excommunication, as in the case of Spinoza) and of books which they judged to be offensive.
Amsterdam. Some descendants of Portuguese Jews who had converted to Christianity eventually fled to Italy, where they decided to go to Amsterdam and convert to Judaism. One of the most famous of these was Miguel (Daniel Levi) de Barrios (1635-1701), who was one of the greatest literary figures of the time. He was publicly condemned for visiting "a land of idolatry" (Spain, or Portugal?) and for public profanation of the Sabbath. The publication of his allegorical masterpiece Coro de las musas (1672) was immediately condemned by the Mahamad (official council of the Jewish community). Even more serious was the reaction to his next work, Harmonia del mundo (1674), which was prohibited altogether and was denounced by the famous Rabbi Jacob Sasportas (who led the campaign against Shabetai Sevi) as "converting our Torah into a profane book, making of it a poetic version." In 1690 his Arbol de vidas [sic; the error is perhaps due to an unconscious influence of the Hebrew plural hayim, "life") appeared and was also immediately condemned, or more specifically the "conclusions" he appended to it were condemned. The Mahamad prohibited anyone possessing, selling or giving a copy of it to any other Jew on pain of excommunication. Finally, in 1697 he was again condemned for writing a letter to the magistrate of Hamburg which the Mahamad considered potentially injurious to the "Nation" (the community). Thus did the "Nation" honor one of its greatest writers. [8]
Germany. Already in the latter part of the sixteenth century we find mention of some few Portuguese "new Christian" merchants in Germany. One of the most important cities where these "Marranos" settled was Hamburg. In 1612 a five-year contract was made by the Senate of Hamburg with the "Portuguese Nation" (the Marranos) granting them freedom of trade and residence, but stipulating that no synagogue was to be maintained nor were they to "offend" the Christian religion. They could bury their dead in Altona or wherever they chose. The population was not to exceed 150 individuals. In 1617 the original contract with the Senate was renewed for another five years, in return for a payment of 2,000 marks, and again in 1623.[9]
Having grown up and been educated in such an atmosphere of fear and intimidation in Portugal, it is perhaps not surprising that Marranos, new converts to Judaism, applied hardly less intolerant measures of censorship within their own communities. For example, the "offensive" books of Manuel de Pina (a Jew) were ordered burned by the Sefardic communities of Amsterdam and of Hamburg (1656). In 1666 the Mahamad of Hamburg ordered copies of Moses Gideon Abudiente's book Fin de los dias ("End of days") sealed and locked in the community safe "until the time for which we hope arrives;" i.e., until the "end of days"! Furthermore, it was decided to impose a fine on any member of the community who kept a book which did not have the "Imprimatur" (!) of the Mahamad.[10]
England. In 1664 the Saar Asamaim (Sha ar ha-Shamayim) synagogue enacted the Escamot or Acuerdos adapted from those of Amsterdam. In turn, these ordinances were adopted by the communities of Recife (Brazil), Curaçao and New Amsterdam (New York). These enactments included a prohibition on the printing of books in Hebrew, Ladino, or any other language without the approval of the Mahamad.[11]
Italy. Fear of the Inquisition and of general problems which could be caused by negative references to Spain led to Jewish censorship even of the liturgy. Thus, the Sefardic mahzor printed in Venice in 1519 (second edition in 1524) already omitted the Spanish Hebrew lamentations referring to the attacks on the Jewish communities in 1391;[12] nor was any reference to the Expulsion permitted. In a prayer book, Imrey Na'im, published probably by Menasseh b. Israel (Amsterdam, 1628-30), appeared a poem which seems to be a general lamentation on Jewish suffering, but which Bernstein has shown is found in its original form in the prayer book for fasts, Arba'ah Ta'aniyot, printed in Venice in 1671, when there was no longer fear of an Inquisition. There, in fact, the prayer is a lamentation on the Expulsion.[13]
No doubt there are other examples of Jewish "self-censorship" in this period, but
it is hoped that this brief introduction will serve to arouse interest in the topic.

HOUSTON (AP) - Tom Brady's record fifth Super Bowl win was his finest.
New England's star quarterback led a comeback from a record 25-point deficit for a 34-28 win over Atlanta in the first Super Bowl that went to overtime.
James White scored the game winner from two yards out on the only possession of the extra period as New England scored the final 31 points of the game.
Brady led the charge going 43 of 62 for Super Bowl career-best 466 yards and two scores. His 62 passes set a record for the title game. He shook off five sacks to lead New England to its fifth Super Bowl title in seven attempts, all under coach Bill Belichick. He becomes the winningest coach in Super Bowl history.
Brady started the comeback by hitting White for a five-yard pass for the running back's first of three scores. White had a Super Bowl record 14 receptions for 110 yards.
Brady also connected on a touchdown pass to Danny Amendola before a White touchdown run with 57 seconds left. Both were followed by two-point conversion -- one by White, one by Amendola -- that sent the game to overtime.
Atlanta appears to be on the way to its first Super Bowl win after Matt Ryan threw a six-yard scoring pass to Tevin Coleman in the third quarter for a 28-3 lead.
But New England's defense took over, forcing a Ryan fumble that led to a touchdown and coming up with a key sack that took the Falcons out of field goal range while they held a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter.
Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was 17 of 23 for 284 yards and two scores a day after being named the NFL MVP.
Robert Alford returned a Brady interception 82 yards for a touchdown for the Falcons.

Howard Peplow, Matt Brown, Danielle Setterfield and Jason Gay, PT staff from HMS Drake, took on a 500-mile cycle in 5 days in while raising money for both The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity and Cancer Research. The team of 4 planned their journey so that they would pass 10 Premiership Rugby Clubs on the way to Twickenham Stadium, in time for the 100th Army vs Navy Rugby Match. Our Twickenham100 campaign asked fundraisers to take on any challenge, so long as it was related to the number 100 (for the 100th Army vs Navy Rugby Match). The team from HMS Drake decided that they were going to go for 500 instead! Scroll down to see how they got on... Day 1, 56.7 miles in and meeting Exeter Chiefs First stop for the team was Exeter Chiefs where they received good luck messages from the players and Tony Rowe the Chief Executive. Next stop, Bath RFC After 114.5 miles cycled on day 1, the team started off day 2 with a flying visit to Bath RFC and even got to meet a few of the players... Bristol RFC and walking out onto Ashton Gate pitch After 54 miles on day 2, the team had the chance to walk out onto the pitch at Bristol RFC, only to be back on their bikes shortly after and pedalling towards Gloucester... ...where they visited the Kingsholm Stadium Worcester Warriors to Wasps Day 3 saw the team cycle from the ground of Worcester Warriors to the Ricoh Stadium, home of Wasps. They even got the chance to meet Joe Lauchbury, who plays as Lock for Wasps. 330 miles in the bag, 118 to go on day 4 12 weeks prior to this and the team of 4 had barely cycled a mile between them, 3 didn't even own a bike! 3 days into their challenge, you could forgive them for being a bit tired! But on they went... Tigers and Saints Day 4 and the team walked out on to the pitches of both Tigers and Saints! Pit-stop at Saracens, almost there The team received a fantastic reception at Saracens as they prepared for the final leg of their 5-day challenge. Feeling ever wearier now... Home and dry, the team arrive at Twickenham! At around 7.00pm on Friday, the team finally arrive after an incredible 500 miles travelled in 5 days. A drink in front of the famous ground was very much deserved! Congratulations to Howard, Matt, Danielle and Jason! An incredible accomplishment and total raised for The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity. We hope you enjoyed the 100th game between the Army and Royal Navy and thank you from everyone at The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity! Show your support! Donate towards the teams total here

I didn't blog yesterday.
Something happened and there was a rush of relief, then some anger, then more relief, then .. well it has been a bit up and down.
You might remember I said that one of my sons had been accused of a serious crime. Yesterday he was found not guilty on all charges. It has been almost 12 months since he was initially charged. 12 long months of doubt, and fear, and stress and a myriad of other emotions. The problem was that he didn't know if he had committed the crime. He admits to being very intoxicated at the time. And someone else took advantage of this, and used it against him by accusing him of a despicable act against another human being. They have spent the last year continuing on the farce, dragging him through the mud and putting him through hell.
My son is no angel, and you will never hear me say he is, but he didn't deserve this. He has made lots of mistakes and made life choices that I don't agree with, but he didn't deserve this. And even though he was found not guilty he will bear the scars of this for a lifetime, that someone thought so little of him as a human being that they could do this without remorse.
I truly hope he can move past this and have the life that he deserves, one filled with happiness and fulfillment.
Welcome to Being Blossom. The purpose of this blog is for me to tell my story. Parts of my story are upsetting and may not be for everyone. The background story is unlikely to be in chronological order. I will also being opening up on my journey through PTSD/anxiety/depression. This will hopefully be a cathartic exercise for me and help me gain back some control over my life. I welcome comments, but please be respectful.

My grandmother, Victoria May Griffiths, lived at 1 Exeter Street, and later at 21 Exeter Street in Preston, Brighton. She was born in 1897, and attended Stanford Road School along with her brother, Frederick Charles Griffiths, who was killed in WW1 and has his name on the school's war memorial. My parents emigrated to Perth, Western Australia in 1950, and I never met my Grandma until 1985 when she was 87 years old.
She told me how her first job was a dressmaker, and that the job was found for her by the governess of the school. She was paid 1 shilling a week. She worked at that until WW1 when she worked as a letter carrier for the GPO. She said that she got one question wrong in the entrance examination, which meant that she had to work outside. So she delivered the letters rather than working indoors sorting them.
My Grandma also told me how she had to tell her brother Fred's fiance that he had been killed, as her mother was so distressed she could not do it. She also said that the Salvation Army took the mothers to France after the war to see the graves. To think that this tragedy was repeated in millions of families. Our family visited Fred's grave in Chocques, France in 2012. The war memorial at the school may be nearly 100 years old but some of the names are still remembered.
Great story and photographs. Thanks for posting
Agree with Andy; fascinating. I bet the school would love to have copies of your photographs.
Thanks Janet and Andy. The main reason for putting the page on MyBrightonandHove was to ensure that the photos wouldn't be lost. I saw the other postings for Stanford Road School and none had class photos as early as this. If anyone at the school wants copies, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, I have just finished reading a fascinating book on the history of the Imperial War Graves Commission (Empires of the Dead by David Crane), and the story behind the creation of all the cemeteries in France. One of the negatives of having all the war graves in France (there was a BIG argument over whether families should be allowed to bring home their dead) was that the poorer families could not afford to visit the graves, and hence the war memorials like the one at Stanford Road School were very important to the parents who lost sons. Hence I was keen to get the 1921 photo of the memorial published as well.

UK: Road named after Lara Croft
A 32.2 Million newly developed ring road in Derby UK will be named "Lara Croft Way" following a public vote. The name was selected with an 89% majority from 27,000 votes, according to BBC News.
Councillor Lucy Care, cabinet member for planning and transportation, said:
"The vote really captured the imagination of people from across the world and, despite my lack of gaming knowledge, I accept that a majority of 89% for Lara Croft is too overwhelming to ignore. She was created in Derby and deserves to stand alongside some of the more traditional icons of the city."
The Tomb Raider games were created by Core Design, which was based in Derby, and featured the treasure-hunting British archaeologist Lara Croft who was designed by Toby Gard. His vision for Lara was a female character who was a heroine, cool, collected and in control, but it was the games publisher Eidos who named her.
Inspired by pop artist Neneh Cherry and comic book character Tank Girl, Gard experimented with different designs during early development, including a muscular woman and a Nazi-like militant. He finally settled on a tough South American woman with a braid named Laura Cruz. Eidos however, preferred a more "UK friendly" name, and selected Lara Croft from similar-sounding English names they had found in a phone directory.
If game character road names became a thing of the future, what would you call a newly built road?
Discuss below.

text: Manager Magazine is a well known magazine in Germany. They test drove a Tesla 1300 KM through Germany from the south to the north. I was very curious about the outcome as I claimed in one of my previous posts that the MS will fail in Germany (because it is to slow for the Autobahn). It went pretty well, even with their claimed 500 KM range which I was surprised if that comes from Tesla Europe as 300 miles is 480 KM not 500. Surprisingly the charging infrastructure seems to be terrible in Germany and by law they can't tow ICE's blocking charge stations ! As expected, they second my critics that this is not a car for the German Autobahn. Also some minor critics regarding the interior (not at par with German luxury cars, but getting close to it) and wind noise on high speeds, especially from the pano roof as I also complained in another thread. The journalist where in my opinion terrible. The article is boring and there is no excitement, not a single mentioning of the insane acceleration, although they did mention that the car beats a BMW 5 and A6. So after all, for the super picky and demanding Germans, this test drive is a great outcome for the MS, much better than the Broder drive !

Julianne Moore: 'Kids Are All Right' in Rome!
Julianne Moore is pretty in pink as she attends a photo call for her movie, The Kids Are All Right, during the International Rome Film Festival on Tuesday (November 2) in Rome, Italy.
The 49-year-old actress premiered the film in London last week! Check out shots of Julianne's daring two faced Lanvin dress here if you missed them.
Julianne recently chatted with Allure about the relationships in Kids. "It's great to see an exploration of a relationship like the one that Annette [Bening] and I have, where they clearly love each other, and they're clearly very committed," she says. "They have raised two beautiful children. So what does that mean, that kind of commitment? You've spent more time with this person than I did with my parents. You realize that's the family you've created."
