The 2015 theme for World Water Day is Water and Sustainable Development, and on this day we are reminded that;
Water is Health—clean hands can save your life
Water is Nature—ecosystems lie at the heart of the Global water cycle
Water is Urbanization—every week one million people move into cities
Water is Industry—more water is used a manufacture a car than to fill a swimming pool.
Water is Energy—water and energy are inseparable friends
Water is Food—to produce two steaks, you need 15,000 litres of water
Today's guest, Cynthia Lam, was a 2014 Google Science Fair Finalist for her invention, H2prO, that aims to purify wastewater and produce hydrogen to generate electricity sustainably through photocatalysis. Cynthia's dream is to solve two of the world's major problems, Power and shortage of clean water, using one small, practical, and cost-effective device.
In course of this stroll, Cynthia and I discuss possible solutions to the world's water problem; her future plans for H2prO, and much more. Here's our conversation;
Ebenezar: Thank you for your time, Cynthia; it's a pleasure having you on the stroll.
Cynthia: Thanks, Ebenezar! It's my honour to be here.
Ebenezar: In preparation for this stroll, I did some research about Water and the Water Cycle. I discovered about 71% of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5% of all Earth's water. Which means we have about 3.5% or so moving around for consumption. Isn't this rather scary? Especially when you consider that this 3% is depleting…
Cynthia: I totally agree. That's why it is so important to realise the fact that we all need to act now to save water, save life.
Ebenezar: What are some factors leading to the reduction of drinkable on Earth?
Cynthia: One of the main causes is water pollution. Did you know that in developing countries, around 70% of the untreated industrial waste is released to the water bodies where they pollute the usable water supply? Apart from water contamination, the increasing demand of water is also another main factor. If we don't do something about it, there will be more than 780 million people lacking access to drinkable water in the future.
Cynthia: As the technology is getting more advanced, there're more and more innovative solutions to water contamination. From large-scale to portable, there are concepts such as biosand, solar stills and devices that apply photocatalysis technology like my H2prO. Regarding the escalating demand of water, the least everyone can do about it is to start treasuring this precious resource. "If you want to change the world, start with yourself." The first thing we can all do to help save our planet earth is to stop taking our wonderful resources for granted.
Ebenezar: So March 22nd is World Water Day, and theme for this year's observance is "Water and Sustainable Development". What advice can you give to citizens and Leaders around the World as regards the sustainable use of water for development?
Cynthia: Clean water is seen as a luxury to many in underdeveloped countries, but sadly we often take such a valuable gift for granted. I think we should all use this chance to reflect on our lifestyle – are water fountains really necessary? Do we really need a pool in our backyard? Are our showers a bit too long? Do everything you can to minimize your water use!
Ebenezar: Can you tell us a bit about H2prO, its composition, and how it works? Especially for most of us who have just high school chemistry…
Cynthia: Sure! So basically, H2prO is a portable device that aims to purify wastewater and to produce hydrogen to generate electricity sustainably through photocatalysis. What's great about combining the two 'reactions' together is that the organic pollutant in wastewater does not simply get decomposed but can also act as reductant to increase the rate of hydrogen produced. The process itself is self-sustainable – no additional power source is needed but sunlight and titania photocatalyst.
Ebenezar: Is it possible to implement this project on a large scale, and perhaps solve electricity problems in large communities in regions without power?
Cynthia: What you just said was actually the aim of this project! To be honest, the design still isn't perfect and it still can't produce a sufficient amount of electricity at the current stage, but the technology could potentially solve the lack of energy as well as water in underdeveloped communities in a large scale. I really hope I can keep improving my device, so one day it can really help give underprivileged people an affordable and sustainable source of energy. Although there's still a long way to go, I'm really glad I took my first step.
Ebenezar: What kind of external support do you need to take H2prO to the next level?
Cynthia: I'd really need a well-facilitated lab. I didn't really have a proper mentor or any external resources when I did my research. I paid for most of the materials myself and I self-taught myself most of the theories, so it was a bit of a struggle even though it was a challenging and exciting experience. However, to take my research to the next level, I really need some technical support.
|Cynthia, during Childhood
Ebenezar: Can you tell us a bit about your childhood, and what got you interested in Science?
Cynthia: My childhood was pretty ordinary, but I do have two fun, open-minded parents who allowed their child to freely explore her potential. Mom and Dad love traveling so I kind of inherited their wanderlust. Frankly speaking, I don't think there's one thing that suddenly got me interested in Science, but I've always been quite adventurous and I love learning new things. I had a science kit when I was around 4 or 5 and I once wouldn't leave my house without my little magnifying glass!
Ebenezar: You're 17 right?
Cynthia: I just turned 18 last October! But I was 17 as I was working on this research.
Ebenezar: Okay, closer and closer to adulthood, you know I'm always curious when I meet outstanding teens, and I'm just wondering, do you also face the same challenges teenage girls around the world face? Like choosing the right Makeup; having to deal with boys; and having disagreements with parents? (Lol)
Cynthia: Haha, of course I do! Even nerds can have a hard time choosing the right dress for formal. I'm just an ordinary 18-year-old, who watches quite a lot of television, loves hanging out with friends and enjoys traveling – perhaps with just an extra hint of nerdiness.
|Cynthia with her parents at the Google Science Fair
Ebenezar: How supportive has Mum and Dad being so far in most of your projects? Do they support this path you've taken?
Cynthia: My mum and dad are amazingly supportive and loving. When I was doing my research last year, I was also quite swamped by my studies (it was my final year in high school) as well as my piano diploma exam during that time. You'd think that they would tell me to focus on my studies instead of spending so much effort on a seemingly random project. But in fact, after knowing my thoughts, they were as excited as I was! Their unfailing support and encouragement gave me the confidence to freely explore Science as well as to explore myself.
Ebenezar: I hear you were also part of the 15 Finalists for the 2014 Google Science Fair, any competition plans for 2015?
Cynthia: Not really. Although I'd love to take part in the Google Science Fair again, my 2015's a filled with other plans! I'll start studying Medicine in the University of Hong Kong this September and before that, I'm going to feed my wanderlust. I really look forward to doing things I've never done and making new friends in places I've never been!
|Cynthia(5th from right) with other GSF 14 Finalists
Ebenezar: Last year, I also strolled with Sophie, Emer, and Ciara, the 2014 Google Science Fair champs, and it's really exciting to see many more women pushing the frontiers in Science and Technology. Do you have any female mentors or role models?
Cynthia: Sophie, Emer and Ciara are real champs! Although unlike them, I don't have any female mentors, I do have a few female role models. I've always been inspired by Rita Levi-Montalcini and Rosalind Franklin's perseverance in Science. Both of them made a lifelong contribution to the Science and Technology field and to me, nothing's more admiring than their dedication. Rita Levi-Montalcini once said, "Do not think of yourself, think of others. Think of the future that awaits you, think about what you can do and do not fear anything." This constantly reminds me of the importance of using our strengths and gifts to help the less fortunate ones.
Ebenezar: Do you think more girls should be encouraged to do STEM subjects; you know girls really like fun-barbie-stuff, is Science really fun?
Cynthia: An absolute YES! I mean, I also loved barbies, teddy bear and all that, but that didn't contradict my passion for Science. However, it somehow seems to be a norm that girls should only be playing house and with baby dolls while boys are to play with robots and other more 'sciencey' things. The fact is girls are also capable of doing Science! STEM projects are really fun and shouldn't be exclusive to boys only. Just look at how many of the GSF 2014 finalists were girls – that absolutely says something!
Ebenezar: Okay, Thank you so much once again for your time Cynthia, it was a pleasure talking to you. I wish you all the best in 2015.
Cynthia: Thank you for having me. I wish the same to you!
Food For the Soul: "At once Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and start back across to Bethsiada. But he stayed until he sent the crowds away. Then he told them goodbye and went up on the other side of the mountain to pray. Later in the evening he was still there by himself, and the boat was somewhere in the middle of the lake. He could see that the disciples were struggling hard, because they were rowing against the wind. Not long before morning, Jesus came toward them. He was walking on water, and he was about to pass the boat.
When the disciples saw Jesus walking on water they thought he was a ghost and they started screaming. All of them saw him and they were terrified. But at that same time he said, 'Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid" (Mark 6v45-50, CEV)

Don't look now, but 100% mortgage financing is still kicking around.
Navy Federal Credit Union is pushing its no-money-down mortgage product, Home Buyers Choice. Sure, the situation at Navy Federal could be considered a bit different from what we saw before the crisis. For one, Navy Federal is a not-for-profit credit union, not a major Wall Street bank. The operation has a very "by-us, for-us" feel, as it's largely retired military serving fellow current and former military.
There's also a much different relationship between Navy Federal and its mortgagors. Or, rather, there is a relationship. Before the meltdown, major banks such as Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) -- and the ill-fated Countrywide that it acquired -- were focused on writing quick loans to anything with a pulse so that they could package the loans into securities and sell them off. Navy Federal largely holds the loans it makes on its books.
In more important ways. though, this is simply more of the same. Consider what the credit union's press release said about the financing option:
Currently, fifty-three percent of the credit union's purchase volume are first-time homebuyers who generally don't have the cash reserves to make large down payments.
You'd think that in the wake of the recent recession. at least one lesson that was worth tattooing into our collective hides is the idea that if we don't have the money to buy something, we shouldn't buy it. Besides, we could say that 100% financing isn't a home purchase at all -- it's buying an option on a home.
I'm not worried about Navy Federal Credit Union. As far as I can tell, the executives have a handle on what they're doing. Balance sheet leverage is low, allowance for loan losses isn't at worrisome levels, and it doesn't appear to be stretching its deposit base. Besides, with $54 billion in assets, if it ran into trouble it would hardly wreak havoc on the broader system (by comparison, B of A's assets are north of $2 trillion).
What does worry me, however, is the sheer fact that the idea is still floating around that 100% financing for a home purchase is a dandy idea. It's Navy Federal today, and maybe it doesn't get burned. But how long is it before a lesser lender with weaker controls steps up with a competing offer? And for stretched consumers who believe they deserve not only a house, but that bigger house over there, who are they going to borrow from: the bank that actually requires them to have cash available, or the one that makes that house seem magically free?
If we start to go down that road again, the outcome will be pretty clear. And here's a hint: It won't be different this time.

Hollywood Freaking Out That Europe Might Make It Marginally Easier For People To Legally Access Content
from the gotta-make-it-as-difficult-as-possible dept
But apparently there's one single part of the plan that the entertainment guys don't like: the fact that a big part of the proposal is to knock out geoblocking, to create this "digital single market." To hear Hollywood whine about this, you'd think it was the equivalent of forcibly making all their content available via BitTorrent.
In a letter to the presidents of the European Commission, European Council and European Parliament, they warn that the EU's plans to help make more films and TV shows available online across borders will have "severe negative impacts on our industry and incentives to invest, which would stunt economic growth and innovation for years to come."To which the only proper response should be: "Oh, for fuck's sake, get over yourself."
You have to be one seriously fucked up industry to believe that a plan to bring down barriers and that makes it easier for the public to access your work completely legally will somehow have "severe negative impacts." At the very least, it certainly gives you an idea of what the MPAA thinks of the current suckers who are happily paying them to watch movies.
A Digital Single Market makes a ton of sense. Geoblocking is the bane of many people's existence, especially in Europe where so much content is blocked. You'd think that Hollywood would be happy to decrease barriers and open up greater opportunities to expand markets. But it often feels like "logical" and the "MPAA" are consistently at odds with one another. Opening up more markets creates better experiences and more consumers. But the MPAA is so focused on control that it doesn't realize that it's working against its own interests here.
And, really, given everything else that's in the bill, it seems like the least Hollywood studios could do is not attack the one good thing about this whole plan, the lowering of market barriers.

A few years back, General Motors was talking a lot about hydrogen fuel cells. Now, they're back at it with the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell, the company's biggest effort to date. You can't roll down to your Chevy dealer and buy one, though. You have to self-identify, and then GM has to pick you to participate in what it's calling Project Driveway. Chevy has already selected more than 100 customers who visited Chevy's Web site and live near one of the country's handful of hydrogen filling stations. They're given a car, along with fuel, free of charge.
But only for three months, when the cars will be passed on. It's a market test, GM says, a way to learn from the public's experience and to demonstrate that hydrogen cars make sense.
We drove a fuel-cell Equinox, and it was smooth like an electric car (which it is) and eerily quiet on the interstate. And it was clean (like an electric car is, in theory, although ultimately this depends on where one gets one's hydrogen; not all sources are totally green).
Chevy claims the 0-to-60-mph run takes twelve seconds, a performance figure that doesn't sound so pitiful to anyone who drove in the 1980s and which in fact doesn't do the car justice. The most impressive thing about this Equinox is how sprightly it steps off. Its handling seems similar to that of a stock Equinox, despite its extra 500 pounds and a regenerative braking system that charges the batteries when you lift off the accelerator or apply the brakes.
The Equinox is the third GM hydrogen car we've driven, and it's the best yet. It felt like a decent SUV, only quieter. All things being equal - a big if - we can't see why someone wouldn't buy one in preference to a gasoline Equinox.

The Rosie Taylor Project
The Rosie Taylor Project have a confusing name. Not a bad one, just a misleading one. Surely it's not unreasonable to think that there would be a female singer-songwriter called Rosie Taylor, with the 'Project' as her (all-male?) backing band? Imagine then my surprise to hear male vocals coming out of the radio, when I first heard their music played last week. It turns out that this Leeds-based band contains six people, only one of whom is a girl, and she's not even called Rosie.
But leaving name-related confusion aside, I'd recommend The Rosie Taylor Project to anyone who likes their indiepop with a melancholy flavour. Think Belle and Sebastian's less upbeat moments with a bit of Tindersticks, a dose of sweet boy/girl vocals, and a dash of beautifully mournful french horn, the latter of which is the thing that really seals it for me. They may proclaim a love for Americana types on their myspace influences, but this band's sound is quite a British one. Downbeat and lovely, it almost seems like it couldn't be made anywhere outside the north of England. This is a good thing.
Since the Rosie Taylor Project's live session for John Kennedy on Xfm was my introduction to the band, it may as well be yours too. Check out these three songs, along with another demo track I picked up. Incidentally, A Good Cafe on George Street (their current single) is actually about an old favourite of mine - The Elephant House cafe on George IV Bridge in Edinburgh. Since Mrs Growl is a bit of a pachyderm fan, this was naturally the first place I took her when we first went to Edinburgh together. Since then it's achieved some fame as the place where JK Rowling was reputed to have written the first Harry Potter novel. Anyway, enough of the Scottish nostalgia, on with the tunes!

Congresswoman Lee shares why this presidential election is so important to African-American women.
Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) has a unique perspective in politics. Once a single mother of two boys on public assistance, she became a delegate for the first time under Shirley Chisholm's presidential campaign in 1972. This evening at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, she'll help deliver remarks by the party's platform committee. She tells ESSENCE what to expect and why this election is so important to Black women.
ESSENCE.com: You'll be presenting the platform committee results tonight. What can we expect to hear?
REP. BARBARA LEE: I'll discuss the general parameters of our platform, basically showing the contrast between President Obama's and Mitt Romney's agendas. The platform is a very important document because it sets forth what the President has accomplished and what his vision is moving forward. We'll talk about raising the educational standards, early childhood education and investing more funds toward historically black colleges and universities. But I'm also going to talk about how tax cuts for millionaires have got to stop, especially if we are trying to build a middle class. And moving forward, not backward, to the same failed ideas and policies that created this crisis in the first place.
ESSENCE.com: You started out as a delegate to Shirley Chisholm and now you're speaking at the DNC on the main stage. What is this feeling like for you?
LEE: It's very exciting and humbling. I was a student on public assistance when I first started working with Shirley Chisholm in 1972, and I keep thinking the fact that I was able to go to college, raise my kids, start a business, work as a congressional aide and now [serve as a member of] Congress is really a testament to the opportunities that Congresswoman Chisholm and those before me fought so hard to make available.
ESSENCE.com: What are some of the most important things you want Black women to know about in this election?
LEE: African American women need to know about those Republicans who wish to deny women equal opportunities and our rights to control our health care decisions. I remember the days of back-alley abortions and some of the terrible things that have taken place in this country as it relates to Black women. We must continue to work for pay equity, for Medicare, which of course many African American women rely on for a decent standard of living when they are elderly. And for so many African American women who are single mothers, we have major investments in early childhood education, housing, workforce training and all the structural issues that need to be maintained and built for our children. This is a defining moment for Black women and we must ensure the President's victory in November.
ESSENCE.com: The message of the RNC was "We built it" and asking "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" What's your take on that?
LEE: Remember what was taking place when President Obama ran and won? This country was on the brink of a Depression. It was losing hundreds and thousands of jobs, [giving] tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, [and involved in] two wars — so can you imagine if the Bush Administration stayed in place? President Obama stopped the bleeding and put in place the Recovery Act, which passed but not with Republican votes. We saved millions of jobs, many in the African American community. Yes, we have a lot more work to do, but it's the Republican obstruction of Congress that has not allowed any of the President's bills to come forward to reduce the unemployment rate. They instead have been fighting to make sure that he's a one-term president. We have to push and fight harder so that we can move forward with the President's agenda. So I would say yes, we are much better off than we were four years ago.
ESSENCE.com: This is ESSENCE, so of course I have to ask — who will you be wearing tonight?
LEE: I have no idea, but not red. That's for sure.

Day 5 | 8.19pm | Something I Wore
Thank goodness for late sunsets in summer down here in Australia right now... managed to finally get a few shots after dinner! Thank you to my great husband who kindly, (with a grunt) snapped away.
I usually never really think about what I wear, thanks to running after two quick pairs of little feet and trying to dress them instead.
I like a bit of colour! Stripes! Comfy Leggings! My well loved worn out flats!
My bag is super roomy and has 3 baggy compartments. I seldom change handbags. I can never find anything in it honestly. Drives everyone nuts.
If you're doing the photo challenge too, please link here or facebook
so I can follow your lovely pics too! :)

The Cheerleading Competitions was an event which happened in Bring It On.
Season 4
Elena's emotions are off and we see a different side of her. Elena makes her first act of cruelty at the Mystic Falls High School cheerleading competition, where she fed on a cheerleader and stole her ribbon. When Stefan confronts her she rebuffs him. Caroline tries to stop her from competing but Elena challenges her to make her stop. She also tossed Caroline into the air and casually dropped her during the team's cheerleading routine (possibly as revenge for Caroline's earlier action). Outside, Stefan vervains Elena and takes her to his house.

90 years of history.
And we're just getting warmed up.
Not every agency's memory lane includes legendary campaigns, a worldwide presence and an Academy Award. But then again, not every agency is Bozell.
Founded in 1921 by two Omaha newsmen, Leo Bozell and Morris Jacobs, Bozell & Jacobs was hired by Nebraska Power to sway voters against an impending vote for public power. Their work gained attention from other utilities around the country, allowing Bozell & Jacobs to grow into one of the most well known agencies in the Midwest, despite the Great Depression.
In the mid-1930s, Bozell & Jacobs took on a project to raise money for Boys Town. A project that created the famous line, "he ain't heavy, Father, he's my brother." Their work even inspired the 1938 motion picture, Boys Town, which earned Spencer Tracy an Academy Award for his leading role.
Bozell's history is full of other landmark campaigns, such as "Pork, The Other White Meat" and the Milk Moustache campaign. And our client list has included juggernaut brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Mutual of Omaha, Union Pacific Railroad, Verizon and Taco Bell.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, Bozell went through numerous mergers and acquisitions. And by 1998, Bozell was the 8th largest advertising agency in the world, with offices in 51 countries. Then in 2001, a group from the Omaha office bought Bozell back from Interpublic Group, making Bozell an independent, employee-owned agency once again.
But that's just the beginning.

Feeling alone in your health journey?
Wish you could chat with women who know what it is like to struggle on a daily basis with food issues?
Wish you could get support on the days when temptations are strong?
Wish you could get encouraged when you feel like a failure again?
Wish there was someone to applaud your success?
Wish you had an accountability partner?
I'm not your fairy godmother but I can grant you those wishes!
You are invited to join my little steps to health Facebook group!
You each have a unique story to share.
I'd love for us to be able to get to know each other; to cheer for each other on the days we feel confident, when making healthy choices seems easy.
To encourage each other on the days we fail miserably and want to quit again.
To come along side each other when the temptations are strong and stress sends us to the fridge for comfort.
We can offer each other support.
We can speak words that bring hope to your heart and mind, with no condemnation.
You can have chats with women that encourage you and empower you to keep trying, because they know your struggles.
The Bible says "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up…though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-10,12 That's good advice!
I started a Facebook group called little steps to health.
It's a place for us to chat about our day-to-day struggles and successes. It is my hope and prayer that we will become a team of women: women who challenge, support, encourage and pray for each other as we take little steps on our health journey.
TODAY'S little STEP: Go to Facebook. If we are not already friends search for Dixie Elliott, my Profile beside my name says blogger at little steps to health – that me! I'd love to add you as a friend! Then find my little steps to health page and join the support group. And if none of that works just leave me a comment or a message and I will connect with you!

SCARBOROUGH – Diverse scoring, a tenacious defense and a star player getting it done.
Scarborough High's top-seeded boys' lacrosse team had everything working in a 14-2 victory against fifth-seeded Marshwood in a Western Class A semifinal Saturday.
John Wheeler scored two goals early, then added five assists. Nathan Howard controlled the faceoffs and scored three goals, including the final two of the game just seven seconds apart early in the fourth quarter.
Marshwood (8-6) had limited possessions.
When the Hawks did have chances, long-stick defenders Anthony Quintilliani and Luke Bernard showed that they had the athletic ability to play punishing man-to-man defense.
"We count it as a luxury to have defenders like that. It's good," Wheeler said.
Scarborough (12-1) showed no rust from its 11-day break since the regular season ended. The Red Storm will be home against third-seeded Kennebunk in Wednesday's regional final.
After the game, Marshwood Coach Ralph Ruocco said his four-year run as coach had ended.
"It's a sad way for me to end my career as coach. I already put in the resignation," Ruocco said. "These guys tried to do everything possible but Scarborough's just way too good. They are well-coached. They have excellent sticks. They killed us on faceoffs and ground balls. Just every aspect of the game, they were on their A game for sure."
Jurien Garrison and Cam Loiselle each had two goals and an assist. Andrew Farrington (one assist), Christian Neelon (two assists), Matthew Murphy, Austin Doody and Dalton Finley each scored once.
Scarborough had the ball for close to 10 of the first 12 minutes but led only 2-0 at the end of the first quarter. Gradually the huge possession advantage translated into a growing lead.
"Their zone slowed us at first like it's supposed to," Wheeler said. "As the game went along the looks got even better and we scored with good efficiency."
Finley's goal came 15 seconds into the second half for an 8-1 lead. He initiated the next goal with a long clearing pass that started a fast break, with Garrison finishing from Neelon.
"As they got comfortable with what Marshwood was doing and finding the spots to step into, it got better and it got a lot better quickly," Scarborough Coach Joe Hezlep said.
Terence O'Brien and Sam Woodman scored for Marshwood.

James Joyce
One of the most influential and innovative writers of the 20th century, James Joyce was the author of the short story collection Dubliners (1914) and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Ulysses (1922), and Finnegans Wake (1939). His collections of poetry include Chamber Music (1907) and Pomes Penyeach (1927).
Joyce was born in a suburb of Dublin. He attended a Jesuit school until his parents could not afford the tuition, and then Belvedere College (where he was awarded tuition) and University College, Dublin. Upon graduation, Joyce moved to Paris and, after 1904, returned to Ireland only sporadically. He lived in Trieste with his partner and later wife, Nora Barnacle, and their children. During World War I the family lived in Zurich, moving to Paris after the war, and then to the South of France before the Nazi invasion. The family was living in Zurich when Joyce died.
Joyce's novels, with their innovative language, use of dialogue, characteristic modernist forms, and social frankness, met with resistance when they first appeared in print. Ulysses was serialized in the United States and England before Sylvia Beach, of the bookstore Shakespeare & Co. in Paris, published it as a complete book. It was banned in the United States from 1922 until 1933.
Joyce's first published book was Chamber Music, a collection of 36 love poems. His poetry was noticed by Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot and included in Pound's influential Imagist Anthology of 1914. Pound wrote of Chamber Music: "the quality and distinction of the poems in the first half … is due in part to their author's strict musical training … the wording is Elizabethan, the metres at times suggesting Herrick." Known as a lyric poet, Joyce based some of his poems on songs. His poems have been set to music by composers including Geoffrey Moyneux Palmer, Ross Lee Finney, Samuel Barber, and Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, as well as the group Sonic Youth. Despite his poetic success, Joyce is better known as a novelist, and by 1932 he had stopped writing poetry altogether.

I have a collection of these fun little plastic animals,
a carryover from when my daughters were young.
I love them.
So...what happens when we morph these two creatures together?
I like that she looks like she is wearing the bird suit sort of like a barrel.
Perhaps I should add some straps!
The first bit of gouache is applied.
Again, I added shading to anchor the creature to the surface.
Look at the cast shadows beneath or around what you are drawing.
They add a great deal to your work.
I decided to mount the drawing/painting onto another paper
that was overpainted with soy wax resist.

Hi folks,
Many of you have been using Strava to log your track, speed and time at gig events, so we have set up a GigRower Strava Club.
If you have Strava simply join the club 'Gigrower' (if you don't just download the app, create an account and then join)
We are liaising with Pete Hicks in Scilly who lays the start lines. The plan is to set up 'segments' for both races.
As Strava is designed for roads it looks like we will have to set up several segments to deal with the long start lines. For St Agnes this will probably be one segment per race 'section' (the term the organisers use for each grouping on the startline), for the Nut Rocks races probably just one segment if we can get away with it, but if not we will do a few and group the lanes into these.
We can't set this up until the Friday, but if you want to use these segments and share your track then join the club now and we will try and update this post on Friday afternoon.

No frills or long winded explanations, just plenty of exercises designed to help you master one specific area of your playing.
The same tried and tested learning methods and tools that are used in each Drum Syllabus Series Book.
More Workbooks Coming Soon

Once again, my favorite local newspaper's online edition strikes gold. I had heard on the radio the other day, a site that fits this entry perfectly. Poor Sarah Jessica, the comparison is unmistakable and one that haunts her on a daily basis on the web and, more than likely, in real life as well. And now, the AJC is piling on with this latest screen capture.
I'm guessing there was a steady sound of the clip-clop of high-heeled designer shoes heard at both events.
Until next time, fearless readers.

Question 1 : Yes, the statement is justified.
A square has 4 equal sides and it has 2 pairs of parallel sides, just like a rhombus. However, a rhombus need not be a square. The internal angle of both a square and a rhombus is the same,360°,but, a square's sides are all of angle 90°,unlike a rhombus where 2 sides are the same,but another 2 sides are different.Which means that not all the sides are of the same angle.
Question 2 : D
Both a square and a parallelogram have 4 sides, which make them an quadrilaterals.
Both a square and a parallelogram have opposite sides that are parallel. The top and bottom side,and as well as the left and right side of both a square and parallelogram are parallel.
A trapezoid only has one pair of parallel lines because the other two lines are not parallel. Thus it only has 1 pair.
Question 4 :
I do not agree with this statement.Not all parallelograms are squares as all the angles of a square are 90° but not all sides of the parallelograms are 90°.

|2,000+ testimonies collected in slightly more than two weeks all opposing the sale and shrinkage of the Brooklyn Heights Library
Here is what we can tell you now.
We suggest that you submit testimony to the the City Council Subcommittee on Planning, Disposition and Concessions and that you also have you testimony do double duty by submitting to the New York State Assembly Standing Committee on Libraries and Technology as provided below.
To submit testimony to City Council we suggest that you send testimony to all of the City Council subcommittee members and to City Council Member Stephen Levin as follows. (You ca also consider calling too):
Andrew Cohen - email@example.com 718-549-7300To help you with the content of you testimony:

Councilman Stephen Levin, firstname.lastname@example.com, 718-875-5200 (and 718-643-6620)
• Here is the Media Advisory we sent about the hearing:
• Here is testimony that Citizens Defending Libraries submitted at the hearing: Report on Wednesday, November 18th City Council Hearing On Proposed Sale And Shrinkage of Brooklyn's Second Largest Library Plus Testimony of Citizens Defending Libraries.
• Here are back and forth exchanges expressing concerns about the project at the City Planning Commission and information from Citizens Libraries about why all of these concerns are extremely valid: Report on Tuesday, September 22nd City Planning Commission Hearing On Proposed Sale and Shrinkage of Plus Testimony of Citizens Defending Libraries.
• Here is the testimony form from Citizens Defending Libraries completed by more than 2,000 people that Citizens Defending Libraries collected in just over two weeks that is a useful as a checklist of twenty-two reasons most people think the library should not be sold or shrunk. (Text also at the very bottom.)
|You can print this form and use it to submit testimony
HERE'S a heads up about a valuable possibility: Have the testimony you are giving to City Council about the Brooklyn Heights Library do double duty-
You have until tomorrow, November 20th, to also submit your City Council testimony as written testimony to the Assembly Committee on libraries as well.
Suggestion: Just quote BPL President Linda Johnson from yesterday's hearing saying that the sale and shrinkage of the Brooklyn Heights Library is being looked at as a model for future transactions by all three New York City Library systems. Then tell the Assembly that it is not appropriate for the state to be funding libraries and not looking into the way that libraries like SIBL, into which we have put a lot of state funds, are then being turned into real estate deals that benefit developers, not the public. Then remind the Assembly Committee that libraries are regulated by the State Education Department and that the these shadowy largely undisclosed deals appear to be highly inconsistent with that state regulation and its intended benefits.
And as for the deadline of tomorrow: Better late than never.
Submit you testimony to the State Assembly Committee by emailing

TEXT OF TESTIMONY FORM (a valuable checklist)
Here in TEXT form is a checklist of reasons you can include when you testify that you are against the sale and shrinkage of the Brooklyn Heights Library:
• The library, which I understand has a probable value of over $120 million, is being sold for absurdly little.
• The BPL has been extraordinarily non-transparent in all ways including keeping its plan to sell this library secret since 2007 (or before) and refusing to publicly disclose its "strategic real estate plan" revealing what libraries it wants to turn into real estate deals next.
• We should not be shrinking this library, especially down to just one-third size, especially since it was just enlarged and completely upgraded in 1993 at considerable public expense and sacrifice.
• It is impossible to guarantee that any proceeds from the sale (which all go to the city) would ever come back to be spent on libraries and, even if they were, the net amount is paltry, perhaps close to or even less than zero.
• The library is a sturdy beautifully designed building with space that can easily be put to good many good uses in different ways.
• The library's "Business and Career" functions should not be moved out of the Downtown Brooklyn business district, especially when it is growing.
• We should not be selling off our public infrastructure to private developers, especially educational infrastructure when, for example, our schools are not keeping pace with new development.
• It is discriminatory and anti-democratic to turn libraries into real estate boondoggles.
• I don't like that Mayor de Blasio was taking money from the development team that was chosen while their application was pending. (Developers he said were "lurking right behind the curtain . . very anxious to get their hands on these valuable properties.")
• Stuck in the bottom of a residential, privately owned building, we won't ever be able to enlarge this library to correct this shrinkage or accommodate growth.
• Selling libraries to developers "because they are underfunded"creates a perverse incentive to underfund libraries, exactly what we have witnessed.
• The library is being shrunk down to a preordained size without bothering to design a new library first or figure out how many books it should hold.
• I want lots of books in our libraries and this plan gets rid of them.
• Selling this public asset so cheaply will lead to sell-offs of our other assets including sale of more libraries.
• We can't sell off our libraries for a few so-called "affordable" housing units, especially when these units "poor door" style are insultingly far away and we are, at the same time, shedding 14,000 truly affordable NYCHA public housing units using the same tactics and excuses employed to sell libraries.
• A private school (Saint Ann's) is benefitting in a significant and undisclosed amount from the loss that the public will suffer if the library is sold and shrunk (and may even get more from the sale than the city and BPL will net).
• I don't believe the fairy tales the BPL is telling about how it `can't fix' library air conditioning. (I wouldn't sell my home for this reason!)
• No extra space will be built at the Grand Army Plaza Library to house any shift of the "Business and Career" functions to that location and there are no designs or cost estimations for how to cram those functions in.
• Library use and circulation of physical books is up dramatically and our libraries should grow and be funded to accommodate that.
• This plan is a short-sighted sacrifice of an irreplaceable asset, inexcusable for a wealthy city like ours.
• We should have learned from the Donnell Library sale debacle (that this sale is modeled on!) how terrible mistakes like this are.
• The environmental repercussions of this project have not been adequately considered and assessed.
• Civilizations that dismantle their libraries generally fail.

A bearable lightness of being.
Qualia (pronounced kwah-lee-ah) in Latin means "a collection of deeper sensory experiences".
Deep may be overstating a stay at Qualia, but they sure like their champagne.
Even as soon as one enters the lobby and is faced with that flawless Whitsundays view, before even the phones come out for that first of many, many Instagram shots, a glass of Charles Heidsieck magically appears before you.
It won't be your last during your stay. Hell, its wont be your last today.
After settling into our room with a complimentary bottle of Charles Heidsieck, feet up on the sun lounges taking in tropical beauty of the island, we have a quick bite and then off to the spa to take the edge of 3 hour flight from Melbourne. Two hours of relaxing massages followed by an aromatic bath, hand made truffles, and yes, a glass of Charles Heidsieck. Three hours in and already you are so relaxed you are in danger of melting away.
Qualia is Bob Oatley's luxury pet project (we all have one of those right?). A veritable oasis, on a tropical island, in the midst of the Great Barrier Reef. No expense has been spared. From the free flowing champagne, to the beautifully manicured gardens, Qualia is in all ways, money well spent. Which is fortunate, because money you will spend. The cheapest rooms come in at $800 a night. The bistro restaurant on the pebble beach, the cheaper of the two dining options within the grounds, was $300 for two, including wine. The fine dining restaurant, more in line with capital city standards, came in at $500 for an 8 course degustation. But I repeat, money spent very, very well.
The fine dining restaurant provides a possibly the best hotel dining in Australia. Each dish a delicately created piece of fine art on a plate, even a touch of theatre as a melt-in-your-mouth tender piece of wagyu is bbq on Japanese volcanic rock at your table.
The best thing about Qualia is the lengths they go to ensure your stay is memorable. The responsibility lies with them, not you, and they deliver above and beyond. It could be the nightly invitations to join other guests and witness the setting sun with oysters and more champagne. Or the various taste and talk sessions (the sake and sashimi session a personal highlight). Or the attention to detail taken for your personal beach drop off, as you are whisked off to your own deserted island for the day, complete with picnic lunch and yes, champagne if that's your desire. Or maybe it's the endless supply of beach toys freely at hand. Paddle boards, kayaks, or mini catamarans. Help yourself. Qualia's appeal lies not only in its perfect island bliss, but it is the ease of which everything is achieved. The staff, although young and almost always 3 months into their tenure, perform every task with a casual expediency that only encourages you to ask for more.
There's no hiding the fact Qualia will cost you, but as sure as that sun sets on those crystal clear blue seas every luxury filled day, it will be the best money you spend.

Garmin has unveiled an innovative new GPS device which can project directions onto a windscreen.
Using a smartphone running its StreetPilot and Navigon Apps as its 'brain', the unit dislpays directions and other information directly onto the windscreen glass.
The effect is a 'heads-up' style display which allows drivers to check their directions, without distractions from a bright screen located below their eyeline.
Above: The HUD projects the image onto a transparent film placed on the screen.
"HUD redefines the navigation experience by allowing drivers to find their way without taking their eyes off the road," said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales.
"Head-up displays currently have their place in select high-end cars, but HUD makes this technology available as an aftermarket accessory for any vehicle, at an affordable price."
Among its features, the Garmin unit tells drivers which lane to be in ready for the next turning, and will fade out music for turn-by-turn prompts.
The Garmin HUD is Bluetooth-enabled, and will be in US stores this summer for $130, or about £87 (UK price TBD).

We couldn't figure it out so went back out to ask a steward. Easier said than done as it was quite hard to tell who was working there and who was a supporter. Once we found someone, he directed us to another steward in a different part of the block and he found us our seats. Either there are two lots of seats with the same block, row and seat numbers, or the labelling on the doors to the blocks is incorrect. Anyway, our seats were good and we were still in plenty of time.
We sat on the front row at the centre of the rink right next to the box where players sit when they are sent off. They get sent off for two minutes at a time and are locked into this box by a warden type lady who only releases them back onto the rink when the two minutes is up.
Once the warm up was finished the players left the ice and the rink was skimmed and wetted by a big plough type vehicle. I could feel the chill rising up from the ice which I hadn't expected. A bit stupid of me really, as I was basically sat beside a giant freezer!
|The plough skimming the ice. All the photos are this
quality because I was taking them through the scratched
perspex screen.
The players from the opposing team - the Fife Flyers - were then announced and they came on individually. Then the same was done for the home team - the Panthers. The player/coach of the Fife Flyers had tragically lost his wife and unborn twins a few days earlier in the week so of course he wasn't here. An announcement was made though, offering commiserations.
There seemed to be at least 18 players on each team and the ice was really crowded, but once the game was ready to start most of them went into an enclosure and there were just six from each side playing at one time. There seemed to be no official way of organising substitutions - the players randomly seemed to decide they needed a rest and would come off allowing someone else to come on. Sometimes most of them would change at the same time. Just because a player had come off didn't mean that he couldn't come back on again. I'm used to football where once a player has been substituted he can't come back on, so this all seemed a bit strange to me.
|The Panthers are in white
The game was played over an hour in three thirds of 20 minutes each. There were fairly long intervals in between. It was really fast and furious; the players seemed to whizz from one end of the rink to the other, smashing into the hoardings and each other with great impact. The sticks were about shoulder high and were flying all over the place - sometimes without a player attached to the end! I could see exactly why the players were all wearing loads of padding and helmets. It would have been quite lethal otherwise.
At first the Fife Flyers seemed to be doing best and by the end of the first third were 3-1 up. For the next two thirds the Panthers did a lot better and most of the action seemed to be around the Flyers' goal, though the goalie was good and the Panthers struggled to score. Four times the fracas around the goal was so furious the nets came unstuck and were knocked across the ice. Finally the score was 3 all and it was down to the last minute or two of the game.
I don't understand what happened next, but whatever it was meant that with 30 seconds to go, the Panthers got a penalty. The ice was cleared of all but the Flyers' goalie and one Panthers' player. The puck was set in the middle of the centre circle with all eyes eagerly on it. The player skated up to it, guided it down the rink and straight into the goal. Yay! After a dubious start we'd won 4-1!
The players then all came back onto the ice for the final few seconds. Once the whistle had blown they did a few laps of the rink before lining up to shake hands with each other and have the players of the match announced. Leaving the rink for the final time, one of the Flyers seemed to be having a slanging match with one of the referees. Hm, maybe not too happy about the penalty?
|Shaking hands at the end.
The spectators were all very well behaved and were even allowed to bring their beers to their seats. There was some shouting and cheering, but not nearly so much as at a football match. In the intervals there were performances by young ice skating dance troupes but not many people seemed to be paying attention to them. At the far end of the rink were four cheerleaders who performed a few lacklustre cheers every time the music started. I didn't really see the point to them as they were so far back and out of the way it wasn't particularly easy to see them and they only performed at times when everyone had all eyes on the game.
The music, which was all corny tunes like the Addam's Family, YMCA and Amarillo, seemed to be played at times when something was about to happen (the football equivalent of a free kick or a corner) and would stop abruptly once whatever was about to happen began to happen. I'd have thought this would be distracting to the players but it didn't seem to bother them. I suppose they're used to it.
So I enjoyed my first ice hockey game, though I didn't particularly understand any of it. Hopefully I will get to go again, maybe fairly soon when I'm in Germany.

Garry Monk urges players to put Swansea first
Garry Monk has told his players to forget about impending international duty as Swansea seek to get their season back on track against Tottenham on Sunday.
After making an excellent start to the campaign in which they took eight points from their first four Barclays Premier League games, including drawing at Chelsea and beating Manchester United at home, Swansea have not won since the last international break.
They have picked up only one point from three league games, a goalless home draw with Everton sandwiched between defeats at Watford and Southampton, and also crashed out of the Capital One Cup to Sky Bet Championship club Hull.
And Swansea manager Monk feels the effects of international football on his cosmopolitan squad has played its part in their struggles over the past month.
"This year is different to any other what with the TV rights and the players trying to fight for international places and qualification," Monk said.
"I have to make sure that all the focus is on Swansea and what we are doing here. We need to make sure all of these things are left elsewhere and that we concentrate on Sunday.
"There is already (media) talk about the international break coming up, the squad announcements, and who could qualify for what.
"Those debates are happening while we are still playing games for Swansea and it's understandable the players should be thinking about those things.
"But the players have to be very clear, and I've spoken to them about this, that anything before those matches is all about Swansea City.
"I feel the last international break had a little effect on our performances and consistency, and the players are now aware of that."
Swansea are far from being alone in having players on international duty but Andre Ayew and Ki Sung-yueng travelled more than most during the last break at the start of September.
Others like Wales pair Ashley Williams and Neil Taylor and Iceland playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson have invested a lot of emotion in the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
"You would have to be superhuman for that not to affect you," Monk said in the wake of Iceland having qualified for their first major tournament and Wales on the brink of doing so for the first time in 58 years.
"But the players need to understand that in the club it is back to focusing on your job. That is what gets you to the other things.
"The only reason why people talk about international football is because of how well people are playing for their club.
"It's understandable that friends, family, agents and the media are all talking about other things. But they are a distraction and we should be good enough to deal with all that and focus on Swansea City."

Ethlyn was the mother of my friend Victor Hall, who died last year and whom I wrote about here.
Here comes the synchronistic part, the part that lets us know the Universe is involved. And I hope, dear gentle readers you won't think this morbid. Ethlyn Hall died while I was in the islands in May. She was just shy of 96 years old. She died the week before my sister Erva and I put our mother's ashes out to sea. The following week Erva and I had the pleasure of being able to attend Ethlyn's funeral.
It was really quite special because after the lovely service at the Lutheran Church in Cruz Bay, she was interred at Cinnamon Bay on National Park land at an old family plot. The tombs are above ground because the ground in mostly solid rock and nearly impossible to dig through. There are now, with Ethlyn, three generations of her family buried there. Her tomb is obviously the white one to the left. It is a shaded, cool, and peaceful place to be laid to rest. Those smooth-barked trees at the upper right are bay tree, from which the body splash, bay rum is made. The leaves of the trees litter the ground and as you walk, their delightful aroma fills the air. Erva and I laid small branches of bay leaves on her casket.
My cousin, Rafe Boulon, who is Chief of Resource for the St. John National Park, was a pall barer. He's in the middle on the right. You can see how shaded the area is.

Permaculture guilds are groups of organisms – plants, animals, fungi, bacteria etc. – which work particularly well together. These can be those observed in nature such as the White Oak guild which centers on the White Oak tree and includes 10 other plants. Native communities can be adapted by substitution of plants more suitable for human use.
Apple Tree Guild
Here's a profile of an Apple or Pear guild that does well in the Northwest USA. It is included here as a sample that should serve to design other models more suitable to our fruit trees.
Mother Nature does not plant straight rows, and she most definitely does not plant whole acres of just one type of plant, spaced exactly eight inches apart, with absolutely no other plants allowed to grow anywhere nearby…
A plant guild may be defined as any group of plants which support each other while growing near each other. "Guilding" is the act of intentionally placing plants to grow near each other so that they may help to provide for each other's needs, thereby creating a more healthy and diverse farm ecosystem and also making less work for the farmer!
A classic sample guild would be the traditional "Three sisters" [corn-beans-squash combo]. [See more details below].
What sets guilds apart from companion- of inter-planting methods is that they often incorporate perennial plants rather than annuals, with several goals in mind, including (but never limited!) decreased erosion, self-managing crops and long term ecological sustainability. From a Permaculture perspective, the art of guilding is an essential skill for establishing the lush low-maintenance perennial food-providing gardens we all love to live in!
Apple or Pear (Malus spp. or Pyrus spp.)… Nutritious and delicious! 65 + species to choose from, size, color and flavor that may surprise you! Most Apples and Pears do need some pruning, but if done well, the maintenance can be kept to a minimum.
Comfrey (Symphytum spp.) shades roots of the tree and competes with grasses. Some invasive grasses have root excretions which inhibit the growth of apple and pear trees, so it is especially important to keep these out of the root zone. Comfrey also provides mulch material and can be made into a nutritious compost tea (see below).
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) also spreads by the roots, but near the surface, and competes well with above-mentioned grasses. It has also been known to be effective against Monilia in apple trees. To make the popular condiment, just grate the bulbous roots and add vinegar.
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are an excellent companion for just about anything; they are extremely pest resistant, and are anti fungal and insecticidal. Flowers attract wasps and other predatory beneficials. Raw chive tea is effective against apple scab, aphids, and mildew on gooseberries and cucurbits. Plus they're yummy and loaded with vitamins! When left to re-seed, they will provide a grassy-looking groundcover.
Clover (Trifolium spp.) grown as a ground cover amidst the plants listed above will help to fix nitrogen and compete with other less desirable weeds. A favorite is Dutch clover (Trifolium repens), which is a self-seeding annual with edible flowers and the occasional four-leaf luck charm.
Sweet Peas (Lathyrus spp.) planted against the sunny side of the trunk of your tree will climb into the branches and provide summer-long blooms, as well as fixing nitrogen in the soil below. Annual varieties are less likely to crowd the tree limbs, and will come back every year. However, some of the perennial species have edible tubers, which is a nice bonus. Another option would be to grow pole beans for a summer crop.
Tulips bloom early in the Spring, before other perennials have emerged, and just in time to attract pollinators to those little apple blossoms. They also bring more beauty.
Top dressing your guilds with some compost once or twice a year will help with fertility, and sprinkling on a little Biodynamic preparation every now and then doesn't hurt either. Otherwise it's a low-low maintenance operation, with overwhelming abundance being the big problem to face!
It is important to mention that, while there are many hundreds of plant combinations that will do well in similar climates, it is important to look for guilds that do particularly well in your particular microclimate.
There are other aspects to guilding as well; these include incorporating insect, reptile, bird and animal participants, and considering all factors when working within natural cycles. After all, Nature will always prevail; planting guilds is merely another way in which to influence Her with creative recipes to suit individual and community needs.
Net and pan
A family of tree guilds. Trees in dry lands can be planted in small depressions, called net-and-pan. The basins are then connected by a network of swallow trenches. The trench network collects rain and runoff water falling over a large area and delivers it to the base of the trees. Mulch also collects in the basins, building soil.

Irreversible Locks IR
bidirectional acting backstop for assembly with connecting parts
with rollers
Application as
- Bidirectional Acting Backstop
Irreversible Locks IR are bidirectional acting roller freewheels with bearing support. They are ready for installation.
Nominal torques up to 100 Nm.
Bores up to 35 mm.
Whereas a normal Freewheel transmits torques from the driving or driven side in only one direction of rotation, with the Irreversible Lock IR it is possible for the driving part to drive the shaft in both directions of rotation. There is, however, a locking action against any reverse torque coming from the driven part, irrespective of the direction of rotation in which it is exerted.

There are several common layout methods for compound graphs. The recursive method is mostly used [PaTi90, No93, He92, MMPH96, Sa96b]:
(1) traversing the nesting tree T in postorder, for each do
(2) layout graph consisting of the children of f in T
(3) compute bounding box of f
(4) od
(5) layout unnested nodes
The layout of each frame f is calculated independently. For the layout of the surrounding frame, f is considered as a large node. The advantages: (1) It is very simple to implement. (2) Each frame can use a specific layout algorithm. (3) If there is a change in frame f, it is not necessary to recalculate a complete layout. Only the frames on the path in T from the root to f are recalculated. The disadvantage: edges between nodes of different frames are not positioned properly, since the position of a node is calculated only with respect to the frame it belongs to.
The nondividing method [SuMi91, Sa96b] is more complex: It applies a layout method at once to all frames, and thus it is able to deal properly with edges crossing frames. It is a variant of the hierarchical layout algorithm by Sugiyama e.a. [STT81, EaSu90]:
The advantage of this method: the layout shows the compound
graph properly without overlappings.
If there are edges from the outside of a frame to an inner node, then
the placement of the node is not only influenced by the situation in the
frame, but also by the global situation.
The disadvantages:
(1) It is relatively slow compared to the recursive divide-and-conquer method. (2) Every local change causes a global relayout. (3) Frames are not independent, thus all frames must be treated with the same layout parameters.

New Titans general manager Jon Robinson has already put the team's No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL draft up for sale.
New Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson says his team is open to trading the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL draft, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"We will look at any and all offers that come this way," Robinson said, according to Schefter.
Tennessee was granted the top pick after finishing the 2015 season with a 3–13 record. Last year, the Titans owned the second pick in the draft, which they used to select Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Robinson, who had served as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' director of player personnel for the last two seasons, was hired by the Titans last week. He replaced Ruston Webster, who was fired on Jan. 4. The Titans went 18–46 in four seasons under Webster.
Prior to joining Tampa Bay, Robinson was with the New England Patriots for 12 seasons.

The 2016 draft will take place from April 28–30 in Chicago.

For today's businesses, Web conferencing offers an abundance of improvements upon traditional phone conferencing as it provides for more-intimate interactions and is capable of transcending geographical distances without airfare. More than just a virtual face-to-face meeting, however, Web conferencing offers a myriad of capabilities, such as those highlighted in the list below.
Before you can take full advantage of the technology's many benefits, however, it must be of a premier quality. So, if you're a business leader looking to provide your colleagues and clients with a seamless and comprehensive videoconferencing session, here are the top four Web conference must-haves:
A major must-have for Web conferencing is integration with WebRTC. This technology augments the Web meeting experience as it initiates the conference using a browser-to-browser launch; this means the meeting can begin quickly as neither the host nor the invitees need to first download external clients or plug-ins.
Collaboration tools
Simple features, such as an online whiteboard, for instance, make an impactful difference in the quality of a web meeting. This particular feature lets users make visual notes during the meeting, making for a more interactive conversation. This note-taking capability engenders a more-productive brainstorming session for conference attendees.
Ability to revisit the session
A recording feature is important as it's difficult to recall intricate details in the correct context after the fact. This feature is also beneficial as meetings can be replayed for colleagues who weren't in attendance.
Cost efficiency
WebRTC is just as important in the area of cost efficiency as it is for speed of communication. Because the technology is based on open source software, it can be integrated with web conferencing platforms at no additional charge for the end user. Furthermore, WebRTC-based Web conferencing eliminates businesses' need to purchase outside software to support the conferencing session because Web meetings occur over the Internet.
If you want to get the most out of your Web conferencing experience, address this list of must-haves in advance.
