text: One of the saddest things in music is when a Christian artist writes songs of worship for the sole purpose of selling it and making money. This doesn't apply to 100% of artists who make worship music, but the number is a lot larger than it should be. That's why it's encouraging to come across a worship leader whose backstory shows you that he or she is authentic. Such is the case with singer/songwriter Adam Villiers and his new album Show Me The Way To Your Heart.

Developing people, delivering results
Microsoft Project
At Motiv8 Development we know that one size doesn't fit all. Our I.T. training can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. Courses can be 'pick and mixed' to suit your individual needs and we also cater for most of the versions of software currently in use.
Training can be delivered at your site or venue near to you and we can train individuals or groups up to five people. We keep group sizes small so we can provide the individual support participants require to maximise the outputs and benefits of the training. If required, we can even supply the PC's for the training.
Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
Duration: 1 day
Motiv8 Development have created a one day course covering the fundamental functions of Microsoft Project that will allow delegates to get up and running with their prolect(s) and keep them under control at all times.
Course Introduction
Microsoft Project is a huge programme that will help schedule people's time down to the minute.
It will help to calculate the cost of a project based upon;
- hourly rate of resources
- cost of materials
- how many materials were used
- plus many other factors
However, due to the size of most of the projects people are asked to manage and control, it is rare they will need the full functionality of Microsoft Project.
Many people simply need the fundamental functions of the package to manage and control their project(s).
For this reason, the most widely used functions include;
- allocating tasks
- scheduling and monitoring resources - you will identify when resources are over worked which will allow you to reallocate resources or amend deadlines accordingly.
- producing a Gantt chart to summarise diagramitically who is doing what and when it needs to be done by - this is useful to be able to keep track of where your resources are, to monitor inter-dependencies and reforecast deadlines if required. This will also help to see what work is complete, what is on time or overdue.
- manage the costs of a project
Microsoft Project doesn't have to be complicated.
Topics Covered
- Getting started
- Key Up & Running settings
- Adding tasks
- Linking tasks
- Creating resources
- Scheduling resources
- Assigning resources
- Modifying views
- Resource and material costs
- Adding other costs
- Built in reporting
- Tracking your project
More advanced courses are available upon request.

text: China's Foreign Ministry expressed regret that North Korea will restart all nuclear facilities, including its shuttered Yongbyon nuclear reactor. Tensions on the peninsula have soared in recent days, with Pyongyang on Friday ordering missile units to standby, hours after nuclear-capable US B-2 stealth bombers were deployed in US joint military drills with South Korea. North Korea has said it will reopen its nuclear facilities amid war rhetoric against South Korea and United States. North Korea believes that if it possesses nuclear weapons, all their problems would be solved. They are very wrong. North Korea develops nuclear weapons, all the neighboring countries would develop nuclear weapons in reaction. Ultimately, everybody would have nuclear weapons, and North Korea would lose its asymmetric advantage. Then, North Korea would have nothing to leverage their positions.

When the SMTP server configured for a tracker's use refuses email (say, with a 400-type error), Roundup throws an exception and does not update the issue.

Logged In: YES user_id=6405 I guess the best solution here would be to allow configuration of using a local sendmail / similar queueing mechanism. Other than that, the idea of having Roundup doing mail queueing of its own is ... eugh. Not sure whether there's any other solution...

I took a look through the code and I wonder if this would work: have reactors optionally return an array of tuples: (exception, message) in hyperdb.py change: the call to: react(self.db, self, nodeid, oldvalues) to capture those tuples and store in: self.warning_exceptions[] where self is <hyperdb.Class "issue"> that same object is created at cgi/actions.py::_editnodes before calling into rdbms_common (or back_anydbm I think) it looks like _editnodes can add info that gets sent back to the user. I am not sure if adding a new prop into the issue is advisable. Seems like it could be a hack. It looks like cgi/client.py is set up to handle a MessageError and report that to the user as an error. However as Richard said raising MessageError will stop any further reactors from firing. Too bad there isn't a queuing mechanism for exceptions where they could be shoved in a queue (along with an id indicating that function added the exception). Then they could be processed asynchronously by a handler in a calling function at a higher level in the stack. Kind of a soft exception that doesn't force the callee to return immediately. Which may be what what richard was hinting at. Also to test this just set the port number for smtp server in config.ini to an unused port. Then send a message that triggers the nosyreactor reactor.

1.the internal stress generated
In the injection molded products, the local stress state is different, the degree of deformation of the product will be determined by the stress distribution. If the product is in cooling. There is a temperature gradient, then such stress will develop, so this kind of stress is also called "forming stress".
Injection molded products, two kinds of internal stress package: one is injection molding products, the other is the temperature stress. When the melt enters the mold with a lower temperature, the melt near the cavity wall is cooled and solidified, and the molecular segments are "frozen". Due to the solidified polymer layer, the thermal conductivity is poor and a large temperature gradient is produced in the thickness direction of the product. The solidification of the product is rather slow, so that when the gate is closed, the melt unit of the product center has not yet solidified, and the injection molding machine can not feed the cooling shrinkage.
So that the internal contraction of the product and the direction of the hard cortex is the opposite direction; the heart is in the static stretch and the surface is in a static compression.
In the melt filling flow, in addition to the volume shrinkage effect caused by stress. As well as the stress caused by the expansion effect of the runner and gate outlet. The stress caused by the former effect is related to the direction of the melt flow, which will cause the stress in the direction perpendicular to the flow direction.
2. the impact of stress on the process factors
(1) Effect on stress In the case of rapid cooling, orientation leads to the formation of internal stress in the polymer. Due to the high viscosity of the polymer melt, the internal stress can not be loosened quickly, affecting the physical properties and dimensional stability of the product.
The influence of various parameters on the orientation stress:
A: The melt temperature is high, the melt temperature is high, the viscosity is low, and the degree of decrease of the shear stress is reduced. On the other hand, because the melt temperature is high, the stress relaxation is accelerated and the solution orientation ability is enhanced.
B: However, without changing the pressure of the injection molding machine, the mold cavity pressure will increase, strong shear and lead to increased stress.
C: Before the nozzle is closed, prolonging the holding time will result in an increase in the orientation stress.
D:Increase the injection pressure or packing pressure, will increase the orientation stress,
E: Mold temperature can ensure that the product is slow to cool, play the role of solution.
F: Increasing the thickness of the product reduces the orientation stress, because the thick-walled product cools slowly, the viscosity increases slowly, and the stress relaxation process takes a long time, so the orientation stress is small.
(2) the effect on temperature stress
As described above, since the temperature gradient between the melt and the ply is large at the time of filling, the solidified outer melt is required to assist in the shrinkage of the solidified inner layer melt, resulting in a compressive stress (shrinkage stress) , The inner layer produces tensile stress (orientation stress).
If the mold is maintained under the action of the holding pressure for a long time, the polymer melt is added to the mold cavity, so that the cavity pressure increases, the pressure will change due to uneven temperature and internal stress. But in the holding time is short, mold cavity pressure is low, the product will still maintain the original internal cooling stress state.
If the cavity of the product is insufficient in the initial stage of the cooling of the product, the outer layer of the product will form a depression due to the shrinkage of the product. If the cavity pressure of the product after the cold layer has been formed is insufficient, the inner layer of the product may be separated by shrinkage or The formation of holes; if the gate closed before the maintenance of mold cavity pressure, is conducive to improving the product density, eliminating the cooling temperature stress, but in the vicinity of the gate will produce a large stress concentration.
In view of this, the greater the pressure in the mold, the longer the pressure in the mold, the longer the shrinkage stress that contributes to the temperature will increase the compressive stress.
3.the relationship between internal stress and product quality
The existence of internal stress in the product will seriously affect the mechanical properties of the product and the use of performance; due to the existence of products and uneven distribution of products, products in the course of the use of cracks. When used under the glass transition temperature, often irregular deformation or warping, but also cause the product surface "whitening", turbidity, optical properties deteriorate.
Trying to reduce the gate temperature, increase the slow cooling time, is conducive to improving the uneven stress products, so that the mechanical properties of products uniform.
Whether the crystalline polymer or non-crystalline polymer, tensile strength are showing the characteristics of the anisotropy. The tensile strength of the non-crystalline polymer will vary depending on the gate. When the gate and the filling direction are consistent, the tensile strength decreases with the increase of the melt temperature. When the gate is perpendicular to the filling direction, The tensile strength increases as the melt temperature increases.
As the melt temperature increases, the solution orientation is enhanced and the orientation effect is reduced to reduce the tensile strength. The orientation of the gate will affect the orientation by influencing the orientation of the stream, and because the anisotropic properties of the non-crystalline polymer are stronger than those of the crystalline polymer, the tensile strength in the direction perpendicular to the flow direction is higher than that of the latter Big. Low temperature injection has greater mechanical anisotropy than high temperature injection. If the injection temperature is high, the intensity ratio of vertical direction to flow direction is 1.7, and the injection temperature is low.
In view of this, the increase in melt temperature, both for crystalline and non-crystalline polymers will lead to lower tensile strength, but the mechanism is not the same; the former is due to the effect of reduced by the role of orientation.

Paid, Earned and Owned Are Dead
By Maggie Fox on July 22, 2012
It's absolutely perfect timing for this blog post (which I've been thinking about for the last month or so), hot on the heels of Altimeter Group's report, released this week, titled, The Converged Media Imperative: How Brands Will Combine Paid, Earned and Owned Media. It's a great report that identifies and speaks to a trend […]

Work: You're Doing It Wrong
By Maggie Fox on September 6, 2011
As is fitting on Labour Day, I'd like to draw together some threads I've seen over the last week, all relating to work. They may not seem initially to be connected, but don't worry – I'll get there!! The first came in the form of a post titled "Are Women Dissatisfied Enough?" on one of […]

Hey Y'all,
Gosh has it already been three days in San Diego? Why do holidays go so fast ugh?! Well today was a real treat because my family got a personal tour of the Coast Guard base thanks to my brother who is a navigator for the Coasties. As we entered through the hanger we came across two fully functional helicopters that were prepped and ready for their next medical evacuations. My brother got us to go inside the helicopters and I even snagged a photo pretending to pilot the chopper.
After we switched gears (pun intended) and explore the Natural History Museum of Balboa Park. I'm such a nerd and sucker for dinosaur exhibits! Let me tell you if you didn't already know, avoid Balboa Park and the Zoo on weekends if you have a chance! Parking is truly a nightmare. If you dare to go on a Saturday wear some fashionably comfy sneakers or Birkenstocks to take on the trek from your car to some of the 39 attractions! Thanks goodness my Vans got me through the day-sorry sandals you just didn't make the cut for me today.
So after all the excitement we were starving. Since it was our last supper here we wanted to go to the main drag of the Gaslamp Quarter. We found an awesome Mexican place called Don Chido that was vegetarian friendly!! Yay for me and my fellow rabbit food lovers! If you ever get a chance try their churro margarita I totally recommend it. It has just enough kick from the cinnamon to wake you up, but the sugar rim invites your tongue to keeping coming back for more.
I really cannot wait to come back to visit San Diego again in a couple weeks. If anyone has some suggestions on places to go or see let me know and I'll make sure to document it!
Stay Classy,
Still want to be fashionable yet comfortable? Fear not! Fashion houses like Chanel has found a way for us ladies to sport our favorite Nikes and still look chic. Here's a way I loved…


text: We had a small celebration at the church last Sunday to celebrate Ken's 6th birthday which is today, December 11. He wanted another chocolate cake so I made this one. I didn't have enough KitKat bars thus the pretzel sticks. It was a mess of a cake but in the eyes of my son, it was the best cake eer. He was very proud of it and I was very proud of him. We call the gold coins doubloons and he only gets them after a day of being a good boy as a reward. So he was so excited when he saw that many doubloons. Well he has been a very good boy and he deserved it! Design-wise, the cake has many flaws as criticized by our in-house designer. So I cut a bit of the sticks to compensate. I used this recipe from Epicurious with just 1cup sugar and milk chocolate ganache. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Inside-Out-German-Chocolate-Cake-103202

ROCHESTER - Football teams earn tradition, they don't have it handed to them. So as the 2007 Ellwood City Wolverines begin a journey that hopefully leads to tradition in the future, they know they can't afford to hand over the football.
Ellwood City brought some toughness to Friday night's second preseason scrimmage, but Rochester brought tradition, the same brand of tradition that has resulted in PIAA, WPIAL and section championships. The Rams capitalized on three Ellwood City fumbles, while posting a 2-0 victory.
Trey Johnson and Derek Gallagher scored for the Rams in the varsity scrimmage.
"I thought the effort was there and we improved our tackling from last week (a 1-1 tie with Neshannock at home)," Ellwood City coach Frank Colao said. "We played a base defense against their power-I and I thought we showed some positive signs.
"We had our chances moving the ball, but we fumbled," Colao added. "On one possession, we gave them about 25 yards and it led to a touchdown. Avoiding turnovers is another thing we're going to have to work on."
"I was very pleased with our kids once we got into the flow," Rochester coach Gene Matsook said. "We scored twice in situations, and I thought we did well against a very enthusiastic Ellwood City team. I give credit to their coaching staff for having such enthusiasm and really getting to the football."
And once the Wolverines have the football during the 2007 season, they'll have to take pride in protecting it.
Ellwood City opens Midwestern Athletic Conference action at 7:30 p.m. Friday when it entertains Beaver at Helling Stadium.
X's and O's: Sophomore Michael Tesone broke a long touchdown run for the junior varsity. Rochester won the JV part of the scrimmage, 3-1.

Dragon Ball Super - Manga 24: Goku has finally surpassed Bills
Next, we share with you new, revealing information about Goku and the 'Dragon Ball' manga
New interesting facts keep coming to light about what is currently happening in the "Dragon Ball Super" manga. Relevant details about the major events happening in Chapter 24 were revealed a couple of hours ago, where the names of Trunks of the future, as well as the villain of the last "Dragon Ball Super" series (Zamasu), took certain prominence. However, what happened today has no comparison. Just a few moments ago, a Japanese magazine associated with Toei Animation has revealed a news that will surprise the entire Dragon Ball community.
According to this source, in the next Chapter of the manga, Goku, (the powerful Z warrior) will overcome nothing more and nothing less than Bills. What would be a fact that will mark a story without precedent in the Japanese series and the anime world.
The plot
According to new revelations of; Chapter number 24 of the manga, Son Gokú could have surpassed its limits with its new transformation. According to new information filtered by the Super Saga Guide, the new Z Warrior transformation has reached the highest level of power ever seen in the animated Japanese series, far exceeding the powerful and fearsome character known in the series as Bills.
Goku and Vegeta are strongly attacked by Zamasu
In one of the main images revealed, indeed, the first thing we see is Goku and Vegeta lying down on the ground. The attack that Zamasu has sent them is similar to the one of the (Janemba) in one of the films of "Dragon Ball Z" reason why now, that skill would have become canonical.
Trunks does his best to heal them with his new ability. We also note that the battle is taken to another level. Vegeta rises and returns to the battlefield without being healed. The prince discovers something surprising about Kakarotto. Meanwhile, Zamasu and Goku continue in an incredible battle, in which the villain manages to distort the space and time without any difficulty.
The new power of Saiyan
Gohan's father shows his definitive level of the (Super Saiyan Blue God). He has perfected it and now has no wear and tear when using it, so he can fight fully with this ability. As an extra curiosity, he is fighting alongside Zamasu's merger. If we remember, Vegetto Blue God is able to destroy the mentioned antagonist without any problem, in fact, even plays with him.
But in this case, Goku with his new form can fight on par against the current fused villain.
Next, we will show you the progress of the upcoming chapter of the series, with some leaked information about this saga. Enjoy it, and stay tuned. In the meantime, we await the arrival of the next chapter.

History of the QWERTY keyboard
I had a talk with a friend the other day about the layout of the buttons in the QWERTY keyboard.
So first, do you know what it's called a QWERTY keyboard?
(well, I'm sure you do, if not, try to type the name...)
Apparently, the QWERTY keyboard layout was devised and created in the early 1870s by Christopher Sholes, a newspaper editor and printer who lived in Milwaukee.
The original layout of the early versions had an alphabetical order, but it was changed in order to reduce the frequency of typebar clashes.
Funny, isn't it?
Not funny?
Not funny and not interesting?
OK, so skip to the next post then...
But just in case, there is more information in here...)

Sunday marked the end of the Tour de France, and the Tour de Fleece. On Saturday I finished up this last yarn.
I'm calling it Nostalgia, because it reminds me of my great Grandmother's sunny California garden. I don't know that she had any flowers in her garden that remotely resembled the shades in this yarn, but I blame a vague and romantic childhood memory.
This roving came from FatCatKnits and it was such a pleasant spin…I know it doesn't sound like it could possibly be correct to call fiber (even merino) "creamy", but it's the best I can do. Wonderful stuff. I 2-plied it and it came to 528 yards of fingering/sock weight. It's already listed in the shop.
That brings my grand total for the Tour de Fleece to 2697 yards of yarn spun from 28 oz of fiber. I'm very pleased.
Now that the Tour is over, it's time to jump on a new knitting adventure bandwagon:
Ayup…I'll be casting on for a shawl and starting some spinning during the opening ceremonies, joining thousands of others on Ravelry as we create and cheer through the Olympics. Love it!
My knitting has taken a bit of a back seat lately to the spinning, but I have been putzing along on a few projects. I've got a large dishcloth order that's almost complete, and a set of dishcloths made for a swap
and another little venture, my first knit with Noro, which is under wraps at the moment. I've made some progress on the Killing Time socks, too…I'll get a pic of that up soon.

Tiny House Interior (credit: Wikicommons)
The Bristish economist E.F. Schumacher offered a mantra that 'small is beautiful' in 1973. He championed the use of small, appropriate technologies that were believed to empower people more, in contrast to "bigger is better" consumption of stuff. The idea was to live in a more sustainable and less resource intensive way. Unfortunately, his ideas seems to have been forgotten. Recently some of this thinking has become a perspective for contemporary living that allows for more freedom than many would imagine. It is being pioneered by diverse people, facing unsettled economic times, and in the form of the "tiny house movement".
Australian designer and architect Lara Nobel, had a tendency towards solving problems. When she and her partner found themselves in one of the world's least affordable housing markets and knew they couldn't get started without going deeply into debt. Lara began investigating tangible alternatives which led her to 'tiny houses'. She has now travelled the world studying urban design from Berlin, to Tokyo, and alternative housing in Portland. Her compact housing designs are driven by an individuals needs rather than market expectations. Lara is the co-founder of The Tiny House Company that produces affordable 'tiny houses' for Australia and elsewhere.

California Boater Safety Cards Mandatory as of January 1, 2018
(SACRAMENTO, CA) – Senate Bill (SB) 941, authored by Senator Bill Monning (D-Carmel) in 2014 will go into law on January 1, 2018. The bill requires boaters to pass a boating education examination and obtain a vessel operator card in order to operate a motorized boat in California. The California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways (DWB) is now accepting Boater Card applications.
"California Boater Cards are needed to enhance public safety on the state's waterways and minimize the loss of life, personal injury, and property damage. Requiring boaters to pass a safety exam will save lives and decrease the number of boating accidents in California," stated Senator Monning.
Beginning on January 1, 2018, the requirement to possess a DWB vessel operator card will apply to operators 20 years of age or older with a staggered implementation date depending on the age of the individual until it eventually applies to everyone in 2025.
Data consistently shows that many operators involved in accidents have not taken a boating safety course. According to DWB, more than 800 boating accidents occurred in California last year and resulted in 50 reported deaths.
The application process is easy, and the lifetime cost of a card is $10. The cost of the card supports the development and operation of the program. Boaters have the option to apply before or after taking an approved boating safety course. You can out more information about the program at: www.CaliforniaBoaterCard.com or call a toll-free telephone number: (844) 421-8333.

Iberia says it will not ask customers to pay the recently increased tax for departures from Spanish airports, providing bookings were made before July 1.
The Spanish government increased the tax charged for departures across its airports from July 2, as the country battles with a huge budget deficit and recently introduced austerity measures.
Ryanair has already confirmed that it will pass on the increased charges to its customers, even where flights were booked before July 1, for travel after July 2.
The low-cost carrier says it will debit the cards used by passengers when bookings were made, unless they opt for a cancellation and refund by Friday July 13. The increased taxes differ depending on the airport, but examples include an extra €9.12 for intra-EU departures from Madrid Barajas, and €8.95 for departures from Barcelona El Prat airport. For a full list of charges click here.
But Iberia says it will not apply the charge to customers who bought their tickets before July 1. Iberia's CEO Rafael Sánchez-Lozano said that "despite the company's currently complicated financial situation, we have decided not to pass along the airport tax hike to customers who purchased their tickets before July 1. We will bear any additional costs relating to these tickets, to spare our customers".
BA has also confirmed it will absorb the cost of increased airport taxes for any tickets bought before July 1.

Compost. Affectionately known as "black gold" by gardeners.
Composting is the equivalent of organic recycling. The process of composting converts garden, food and other organic waste into a nutrient rich earthy material that can be dug back in to the garden, entering it right back into your garden life-cycle.
But, composting is not simply throwing your scraps into a pile and waiting for it to break down.
A healthy, sustainable compost requires a finely tuned little eco-system to itself. It's not rocket science, but understanding the various dynamics of the composting process ensures you build a healthy compost "heap" that is alive and quickly churns out loads of FREE, nutrient rich, organic super-fertilizer.
Discover the answers to such questions as:
- What proportions should a compost be sized?
- How often should I turn it over?
- Does light affect the composting process?
- What temperature should my compost be at?
- What can – and can't I add to my compost?
- How do I encourage Worms and other good creepy crawlies, while preventing the undesirable ones?
And much more!
No garden should be without a healthy, buzzing, crawling warm compost heap, ready to break down all food and garden waste into nutrient-rich earth in a matter of weeks.
Ultimate Survival Skills' flagship book "Benefits of Composting: Turing Waste Into Treasure" divulges the necessary facts on how to manage a healthy, vibrant and ultimately successful compost cycle.
Whether you're a couple living in a small urban setting, or a large family living rural, you'll discover exactly what you need to know to get your compost pile started right away, and keep it working all year round.
When you've got your composting sorted, make sure you check out our many vegetable growing guides and books. Veges just LOVE growing in earth that's been dug-over with a bit of compost, and we have all the help you need to guide you on the design and growing of a successful vege-garden!
A buzzing compost heap and a lushes vege garden – what better combination!?

2014 was a year of learning in Brazil. And football – the best eye-opener for communication. Brazilian football has always been admired for its joga bonito. In the past, it didn't matter if players smoked, drank or partied before matches; their skills and joy were enough to solve the game. It was the football of improvisation.
But times have changed and the realisation of that came in the most unpleasant way. The Brazilian team conceded four goals in just ten minutes against the best representatives of modern football: Germany.
Germany taught us that, to be successful, you need long-term planning; a focus on the team and not on individual talents; an inclusive culture based on open communication and individual responsibility; and competitive intelligence through data, analysis and systematic game-planning.
Communication has also changed. Brazilian brands and agencies should learn from the German team's key factors of success.
Long-term planning: although the present communication ecosystem is in continuous change, a brand needs to know where it's heading and format each decision towards those objectives.
Focus on the team: TV has always been the main player. Now, a brand needs to be present and cohesive through the entire pitch. The most exciting goals can come from other players such as social, digital, PR and brand services.
The use of science and technology as communication tools is already a reality for future-driven brands
An inclusive culture: Germany may have modernised its sports infrastructures, but the biggest revolution came from processes and mindsets renewal. Brands need to create the right environment to abolish committees, encouraging entrepreneurship and giving room for creative minds and visionary leadership.
Competitive intelligence: storytelling through the right channels isn't enough. Brands need to be more relevant to their customers by creating services and products that make a deeper connection, 365 days a year. The use of science and technology as communication tools is already a reality for future-driven brands.
Fortunately, things are changing. Right after the final whistle, we were surprised with the most disputed elections in Brazil's history – not only on votes but also on fresh communication strategies. Political campaigns have always focused on TV and out-of-home. But, this year, digital and social activations played a huge role.
In 2015, companies will increase their investment in digital marketing. Some are even planning to focus most of their investment on it. It's true that economic forecasts are not the most positive ones and, still, there's a lot to evolve, but Brazilian creativity has always been prosperous and will continue to flourish.
If brands and agencies are able to? mix the joga bonito with Germany's efficiency, we'll have exciting?days ahead.

Video Description
This is a video with a clear message for your wife. I think I should be so honest and give her some things, after all, she's probably already wondering why you're always working overtime, why you do not fuck her, etc. And I want to tell her that I'm just a whistle like you, laughing. Two idiots have found each other. Only a dork knows not how stupid the other dork. I also want to make her understand the difference between me and her. She should stick to the ranking! God, I can be so provocative that sometimes I'm scared of myself. She will be even more frustrated than she already was. Do not worry, she will not divorce you, she is not that stupid.

Supported by the City of Santander and the Government of Cantabria, the first edition of the Cantabria Boat Show will take place in Santander, in the Exhibition and Congress Palace from 22nd to 24th of June.
The main goal of this event is to promote and reactivate the marine industry and tourism in the region, based primarily on the three most important events that will take place in Cantabria in the near future: Sailing World Championships 2014, the commercialization of the recently opened port of Laredo, and the development of the waterfront area of Santander.
In order to make the fair entertaining for the public, it is planned to promote the nautical and maritime customs and traditions of the Cantabrian coast through different kind of activities, like sport, gastronomy, fashion, art and culture.
Besides the exhibition of nautical equipment, located in the central hall, attendees can also visit an exhibition of the High Performance Center (CAR) and so-called "Area 50" exposition. This area is shared by companies, which offer different sea and coastal products and services at reduced prices, specialized shops, that sell clothing related to the sea and sailing, as well as various nautical clubs, federations and insurance companies of the maritime sector.
To engage all kind of audience, a special program was worked out, offering a wide choice of activities such as exhibitions, lectures, food tasting events, contests, parades and more.
The fair was opened yesterday, June 21, but the doors are opened for public from June 22. No doubt, the First Cantabria Boat Show is a wonderful event inviting people to get to know Cantabria, its coastline and everything it has in offer for the sailing world in general.

Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia in Karachi
Chaurasia Ji, himself, says he should be called a bañsuri-player and not a flute-player because the western flute is made up of a number of things that the bañsuri does not have. In fact a bañsuri, as he told the crowd in Karachi, "has no strings, no buttons, no tuning. Its just a piece of wood with a few holes and you pick it up and practice and play it!"
Pandit Pannalal Ghosh, a well-known bañsuri player, really brought this instrument into classical music … but it was Chaurasia Ji who expanded its area and is now considered to be the man who really made this reed-instrument one of the most loved and respected in India and the world of music.
Sabeen, a founder member of APMC (I was a founder member, too, when it started), was at my house and I called Ayla Raza — the 'actual' Founder of APMC, Karachi — and asked her to come to the house. I called Aneesh Pradahan and Shubha Mudgal and got Chaurasia Ji's number in Mumbai. Ayla called up the number and spoke to his daughter-in-law. She manages his bookings and we were told that he was free one night before the Indian Embassy performance in Karachi. She told us the 'rather large' sum of money he'd charge.
Hmmm: Well, it was of the kind of money that some people generally use for their daughter's wedding-day jo∂aa here — but this is only our subcontinental classical music (being performed by one its Masters) so who'd pay for this?
Ayla said she'd go and call up Arshad Mahmud (NAPA), Sharif Awan (Tehzeeb), and Hameed Haroon (Dawn). We three felt that it was important that a large venue be agreed upon and all the groups (APMC, NAPA, Tehzeeb, and Dawn) should put in the money, arrange for lots of free guests - preferably at Mohatta Palace - and let our audience hear this music. Ayla also had to get permission from ICCR in India, who had helped his coming here along with the Indian High Commission.
A whole day passed and nothing happened. Sadly, we gave it up! It was too late to invite people, or even arrange for anything at all by now. I don't know if she got to Hameed or not but was, more or less, shoo'd away by the others (or so I am told).
We arrived at 9.30 and only Abro & Attiya Dawood (and Suhaee) were there ... and, perhaps, two or three students. However, by 11 AM when the car brought Chaurasia Ji, there were (maybe!) 15-20 students and ex-students, some other guests, and the local NAPA teachers.
During Chaurasia Ji's beautiful playing, someone from PTV (I think that's who he was) managed to get two phone calls and had an assistant go out to receive them and at each time the door cranked badly while she went out and came in. Two other people took calls and spoke with friends during the performance - and one was actually told by Zia Mohyeddin Sahab that he'd be shot!
Chaurasia Ji's performance and his humor and his conversations were brilliant and a lot of fun. I hope NAPA would do this kind of thing more often … and certainly invite some of our best musicians (all of whom were missing) to these events. They should also do similar things with our own non-Karachi musicians when they come here so that students can ask them questions, talk to them, understand how each thinks and moves, and how they are so amazingly rich - despite the lack of education in many - in an area that very few people really understand.
Ayla Raza was in the evening concert but only because her husband had been invited. No one who talked to her from NAPA invited her to the morning performance, despite knowing that she was the founder of APMC. Pity!
Sheema Kermani was also at the evening concert and complained about why she had not been invited by NAPA and was told that it wasn't the job of the person she was speaking to for inviting anyone. More pity!
Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, born on the 1st of July, 1938, in Varanasi (Benaras), surprisingly does not come from a lineage of flautists. His mother died when he was only six and he had to learn music without his father's knowledge because his father was a wrestler who wanted his son, Hariprasad, to follow in his footsteps.
Chaurasia Ji did go to the akhaa∂a and trained with his father for a while, but he also started learning music, practising at a friend's house. He often credits his wrestling training for giving him the immense stamina and lung power. He once said ,"I was not any good at wrestling. I went there only to please my father. But maybe because of the strength and stamina I built up then, I'm able to play the bañsuri even to this day."
He was 15 when he started on the first steps to his musical career by taking classical vocal lessons with Pandit Raja Ram of Benares. A little later he heard a flute recital by Pandit Bholanath and was so impressed that he changed his vocal lessons and became a bañsuri player.
At 19, Chaurasia Ji started playing in AIR, Orissa, and when he was 24 he was transferred to the AIR headquarters in Bombay. Strange that a bañsuri player should choose a Surbahar and Sitar player as a teacher ... but music is music … and it was here that he got his brilliant training from Shrimati Annapurna Devi (then the wife of Pandit Ravi Shankar).
Annapurna Devi is the daughter of the famous Ustaad Alauddin Khan (of the Maihar Gharana). Alauddin Khan was also the father of Sarod Maestro Ustaad Ali Akbar Khan and the superb teacher of Sitar Maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar.
Ravi Shankar said in his autobiography that Ustaad Alauddin Khan told Roshan Ara Khan (Annapurna's Muslim name) when she asked him about marrying Ravi, "He is a Brahman and cannot become a Muslim, so you should convert to Hindu and marry him! ". Which is what she did.Apart from classical music, Chaurasia Ji has made a mark as a music director for Indian films along with Pt. Shivkumar Sharma, forming a group called Shiv-Hari. He told us that his first recording for a film song was with Talat Mahmood (and the now famous Sitarist Rais Khan also accompanied him).
He has also collaborated with various world musicians in experimental cross-cultural performances, including the fusion group Shakti and has played with several western musicians, for example with John McLaughlin and Jan Garbarek in Zakir Hussain's Making Music. (A brilliant CD - Get it now if you haven't heard it yet!)
Currently Chaurasia Ji is at Brindavan Gurukul in Mumbai, where he ensures that students learn the art of Indian Music as well as Fusion and Jazz. His discography can be found here.

How to create an effective virtual team
Posted on June 6, 2012 by Liz ReidVirtual teams are commonplace these days – if you aren't part of the remote workforce yet, you may be soon. While it's true that there will be many challenges faced by virtual teams, it's also true that they have the potential to be more productive and produce better results than a traditional work team. However, in order for this to be realized, a virtual team does need to be extremely well managed.
First, let's take a look at some of the challenges virtual teams may face, followed by several key reasons they can actually outperform conventional teams. Finally, we'll discuss a few essential tips for managing virtual teams effectively, in order to help them perform at the highest level possible.
Challenges for virtual teams
Lack of face-to-face interaction can lead to lower levels of empathy amongst team members, as well as a lower degree of trust – simply because you have never met the people you're collaborating with. Not being able to see and respond to verbal cues certainly plays a role in how well a team can interact and gel with one another.
Cultural barriers are also very real challenge for global teams. Differences in language, communication style and work ethic will influence team members' interactions and understanding of one another.
Potential over-communication is also a factor to consider. Some virtual teams may try to overcompensate for the lack of face-to-face interaction by sharing too much information that may often be irrelevant or unimportant. This information overload may cause team members to filter out the 'noise', leading to some important things missed.
Despite the challenges, virtual teams can still be more effective…
There is certainly evidence to suggest that virtual teams can indeed be more effective than traditional teams, as reported by Meena Dorr in her article for Training Magazine:
"…the productivity of effective virtual teams can increase from 10 to 43 percent, depending on the industry and the organization…In line with this, Keith Ferrazzi lists 3 reasons why virtual teams have the potential to outperform conventional teams in his article 'Virtual Teams Can Outperform Traditional Teams':
In addition, studies confirm that virtual teams offer employers and employees flexibility, reduce time to market, often result in better work outcomes than conventional work teams, attract better talent, and increase knowledge sharing."
In addition, studies confirm that virtual teams offer employers and employees flexibility, reduce time to market, often result in better work outcomes than conventional work teams, attract better talent, and increase knowledge sharing."
- The best expertise can be enlisted from any location in the world.
- Cycle time of projects can be reduced with 'follow the sun' schedule – effectively, there are always team members, in various geographic locations, working on the project 24 hours a day.
- Tap into a diversity of input – people are working closely with customers in each of their local markets.
Essential tips for virtual team management
Pick the right people at the start. That is, people who are self-motivated and can work independently, yet are also good communicators.
Provide excellent training. Virtual team members need to know how to make the most of the various technologies that they are using to collaborate and share information in order to be highly effective.
Have set processes in place. This is particularly important in the area of decision making within the team, as well as having regular check-ins to make sure progress is consistent and that any potential issues are addressed and fixed before they can escalate into major problems.
Be aware of communication overload. The quality of communication is more important than the quantity. It's advisable to have these communications at predictable times each day or week, so people can be prepared and aware that important things will be shared and discussed.
Where there is conflict, keep it task related. Don't let conflict get personal, which could happen more easily in virtual teams because of the potential lack of face-to-face interaction, empathy and trust.

Insight Series: Ecosystem Marketplace Cheat Sheet–What is a Social Impact Assessment?
No man is an island—but even if he were, it's never that simple. Social impact assessments provide us with a user guide to these often island-esque project sites, along with a long list of do's and don'ts (do make as much positive impact as possible. Don't destroy stuff).
April 2010 When Japan's Dojima Rice Market pioneered rice futures 300 years ago, it succeeded in part by establishing stringent standards of quality and clear guidelines of accepted behavior designed to ensure a fair and transparent market. The Chicago Board of Trade did the same for corn, wheat, and soybeans more than 100 years later, and every successful market has done the same ever since.
Markets that fail to establish such standards and guidelines usually die a quick death – or, worse, succeed as markets but fail as deliverers of value to society at large, as we've seen in the unregulated markets for over-the-counter derivatives.
Environmental markets are no different, which is why participants have created scores of standards and guidelines to help policymakers and project developers estimate the environmental impact of their actions before they are implemented.
Early standards and guidelines focused on the impact that projects had on nature, but they failed to fully measure the impact of such projects on society. That's why the International Association for Impact Assessment (http://www.iaia.org/) created the "social impact assessment" (SIA).
Putting People First
SIAs are designed to help policymakers and environmental project developers foresee the impact that their actions will have on the people living in and around the project area. Such projects should obviously avoid harming local communities, but ideally they will also generate positive 'co-benefits' for people living in and around the project area.
These co-benefits can range from the creation of jobs to the preservation of cultural values to the building of schools. From the developer's perspective, these additional advantages serve to strengthen the project and may even be considered to have market value if properly maintained and bundled with existing ecosystem service products.
Easier Said than Done
The challenge of SIAs can be summed up as one of how to combine credibility and economy, in view of the already high transaction costs facing land-based carbon projects. SIAs need to effectively identify not only the good that flows from a project, but – perhaps more importantly – the negative and unexpected social impacts. They also need to define acceptable quality levels.
Without appropriate guidance and research, these projects can lack the evidence needed for approval at a verification audit stage of the game. Properly implemented, they help ensure a project that benefits those around it. Poorly implemented, they amount to little more than greenwash.
What and How
Credible SIA involves providing answers to two key questions –what needs to be measured and how should it be measured.
The answer to the 'what to measure'question is closely tied to the concept of 'attribution' or causality, and the selection of indicators. New standards such as the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity CCB (http://www.climate-standards.org/) standard, for example, require that projects demonstrate 'additional' and 'net positive' community impacts.
This involves showing that a project's social benefits outweigh the negatives – or at least outweigh the benefits that would have been achieved if the project had never been implemented. They also have to show that those benefits have been caused by the project rather than by other external factors – or, in other words, that they would not have happened anyway.
The 'how to measure'question relates mainly to data collection methods, especially measurement of the indicators. This question may be easier to answer, since there is considerable guidance on appropriate data collection methods. Cost-effectiveness can in general be improved by developing a strong project monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system at the design phase.
On the Ground
Considerable methodological guidance exists for measuring the social and environmental impacts of development projects and other land management activities, but no clear guidance currently exists for carbon project developers on how to choose and apply appropriate and cost-effective methods. Initial analysis has found that many land-based carbon projects, although they are still at the design or early implementation stage, seem to be struggling with the challenge of conducting cost-effective SIA, and would greatly benefit from this type of guidance.
The social impact assessment (SIA) manual is being developed to accompany the Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) Standards, the most prominent and widely respected standards for the co-benefits of land-based carbon projects. It aims to help project developers monitor the socio-economic impacts of their projects, and meet the verification requirements of the CCB or other comparable Standards. The concepts described in this manual will be relevant to a wide range of site-level land-based carbon activities, whether designed for compliance or voluntary markets.

Role of Soundcloud plays

It put an impression on the fans and when you have a lot of plays then everyone will become interested in listening to that music. We can get a lot of free plays without dealing any problem and attract more and more fans.

I hope everyone has enjoyed a lovely Palm Sunday with their friends and family. I had a group of close friends over today for the Italian version of high tea. Lots of food, fun, and conversation. It was a wonderful day.

* * * *
"You really did it to yourself this time, didn't you? As I recall, the first time I met you, you were flat on your back...although, honesty compels me to admit that I put you there." Ay'ana whispered to the unconscious man as she recalled the incident. She'd returned earlier than planned to the dorm room that she had shared with Guiliana. When she opened the door, she saw an unknown man rise from the bed and come toward her. Instinct had taken over and she went on the defensive. Her knee caught him in the groin at the same time she jabbed her fist into his solar plexus. She'd been mortified when he regained his male dignity and introduced himself. He always told her he'd understood her reaction and forgiven her, but his behavior over the years didn't seem to indicate that it was the case. Marco called her "The African Queen" and appeared to tolerate her only because of her close relationship with his sister. She retaliated by referring to him by his rank with "Mercenary" tacked on, a title to which his reaction was always the snarled response, "yeah, and a damn fine one."
The beeping of the monitors dragged Ay'ana's thoughts of the past back to the present, but as close as she could tell, nothing on them indicated a problem. Marco slept on oblivious to his surroundings. Ay'ana sat down and reached over to grasp his limp hand where it rested on the bed. Despite their ongoing animosity, she had deep feelings for Marco—so deep she hadn't dared admit them to herself—or anyone else. After all, what would someone like Marco, a well-educated, Italian Catholic devoted to his career and family, see in a bi-racial Jewess who owned a catering company?

Blizzard Unveils Overwatch: Uprising Event With New Trailers And Screens
After days of leaks and teases, Blizzard has finally unleashed Overwatch's Uprising event. Revolving around an Omnic uprising in King's Row 7 years ago in Overwatch lore, players will be able to take part in a new cooperative brawl, as well as grab more than 100 pieces of new loot for a limited time starting today. We got our first look at Uprising yesterday via a leaked French trailer, which you can take a look at right here. You can check out the introduction trailer for the event down below.
The new brawl, fittingly titled "Uprising", sees players fighting through King's Row as Tracer, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, and Mercy in an effort to liberate the area from an extremist Omnic group called Null Sector. Similar to Junkenstein's Revenge, it is a PvE mode, though it is supposedly longer, taking place over a much bigger area. This marks the first time an event has centered on a major plot point in Overwatch lore, rather than a seasonal holiday or real-world event.
The Uprising brawl is also available to play with any other hero in a separate, non-canon mode. You can get a look at the Origins trailer, which further details the story surrounding the King's Row Uprising, down below.
Blizzard has also released a short developer video detailing the creative process behind Uprising, and explaining some of the new modes available. You can watch it below.
For a more detailed look at some of the new skins and loot available during the new event, you can check out the gallery down below. Overwatch's last major update came last month in the form of new hero Orisa, which you can read more about here.
