"MIT Sloan School of Management recently held a two-day executive education course, Big Data: Making Complex Things Simpler, designed to provide executives with both an overview of big data and a few techniques to harness some of the elusive power of that data. During the event, MIT researchers Alex "Sandy" Pentland and Erik Brynjolfsson talked about the big picture of big data and the finer aspects of utilizing data, from building trend models based on free Google data, to combining disparate data sources to create new business models.
But in all the classroom discussions that surfaced around the big issues from big data — privacy, security, costs, infrastructure, data volume, data quality, and data governance — the reality that many organizations grapple with is change management: whether or not they can manage the human and process changes necessary to make the most of their analytics initiatives.
Bottom line: the real question is whether or not they can change the culture of their organization."

HONOLULU (AP) - Democrat Neil Abercrombie and Republican James "Duke" Aiona are starting the general election contest for governor with depleted war chests. Abercrombie, a former congressman, had only $275,000 in his campaign treasury as of September 3 after raising $2.8 million in a highly competitive primary election race against ex-Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann.
Abercrombie collected an additional $177,000 - but spent an unknown amount on TV ads and other purchases - in the two weeks preceding Saturday's balloting. He handily defeated Hannemann.
Lt. Gov. Aiona beat Honolulu lawyer John Carroll for the GOP nomination by 88 percentage points. But despite amassing a total of $2.8 million since early 2007, Aiona only had $487,200 in his treasury as of September 3.

Read September 29, 2013
|I thought I had it all figured out.
"Everybody gets their happily ever after - cue the credits."
I've become SO cynical. How did that happen? Maybe it's all the dark, depressing books I read.
I had to pick myself up off the floor after finishing this one. I thought it was all about how persistence and determination get you what you want. About following your dreams and making them happen. HA! This book is about how to crash the car. How to fall apart. How to shatter into a million tiny pieces, and then build something new. Denny took all the pain and the anger and the desperation, took it over and over again, but he didn't spin his wheels - he just rolled off track and then walked away. Not unscathed, but ready to race another day.
This book is also about death. Dogs die. Human beings die. Relationships die. Aspirations die. But we can all be reborn.
I'm not sure about reincarnation. I'm too much of a control freak. I want to be in charge of my fate, even beyond the grave. I want to make sure my new self has the right values, is good to his or her family, does right in this world. But I can't do that, and that's one of the many reasons death still scares me. I've seen enough of it to know the dying process can be peaceful and pain-free and, under the right circumstances...joyful. But the fear is still ever-present.
I believe in dying with dignity. That's what Enzo did. He knew too much about what was around the next turn, so he waited until the pit crew and the medics had cleared the course, and then - and only then - did he round the bend onto the other side of the track. With the green light to go.

Pope Francis has repeatedly said that Islam is a religion of peace and terrorist violence perpetrated in its name is not true Islam. However ISIS has now specifically contradicted the pope's words, saying he doesn't really understand Islam and "struggles against reality".
The August issue of Dabiq, the Islamic State's periodical for the discriminating gentleman jihadi, asserts that the violence is entirely, unapologetically religious in nature (which, frankly, is no more than the plain words of all jihadi fighters already assert). But Pope Francis, like so many others in the West, are either unable to understand this reality or are living in desperate denial – because the ramifications are too momentous and far-reaching to contemplate. Thomas Williams of Brietbart London has more details in the article below. Please also see Joseph Klein's "ISIS and True Islam" at Frontpage for another assessment of the same Dabiq issue.
Islamic State Answers Pope Francis: Ours Is a Religious War and We Hate You
by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. * 2 August, 2016
The Islamic State terror group has come out publicly to reject Pope Francis' claims that the war being waged by Islamic terrorists is not religious in nature, assuring the pontiff that their sole motivation is religious and sanctioned by Allah in the Qur'an.
The Islamic State terror group has come out publicly to reject Pope Francis' claims that the war being waged by Islamic terrorists is not religious in nature, assuring the pontiff that their sole motivation is religious and sanctioned by Allah in the Qur'an.
In the most recent issue of Dabiq, the propaganda magazine of the Islamic State, ISIS criticizes Pope Francis for his naïveté in clinging to the conviction that Muslims want peace and that acts of Islamic terror are economically motivated.
"This is a divinely-warranted war between the Muslim nation and the nations of disbelief," the authors state in an article titled "By the Sword."
The Islamic State directly attacks Francis for claiming that "authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Quran are opposed to every form of violence," saying that by doing this, "Francis continues to hide behind a deceptive veil of 'good will,' covering his actual intentions of pacifying the Muslim nation."
Pope Francis "has struggled against reality" in his efforts to portray Islam as a religion of peace, the article insists, before going on to urge all Muslims to take up the sword of jihad, the "greatest obligation" of a true Muslim.
Despite the obviously religious nature of their attacks, the article states, "many people in Crusader countries express shock and even disgust that Islamic State leadership 'uses religion to justify violence.'"
"Indeed, waging jihad – spreading the rule of Allah by the sword – is an obligation found in the Quran, the word of our Lord," it reads.
"The blood of the disbelievers is obligatory to spill by default. The command is clear. Kill the disbelievers, as Allah said, 'Then kill the polytheists wherever you find them.'"
The Islamic State also reacted to Pope Francis's description of recent acts of Islamic terror as "senseless violence," insisting that there is nothing senseless about it.
"The gist of the matter is that there is indeed a rhyme to our terrorism, warfare, ruthlessness, and brutality," they declare, adding that their hatred for the Christian West is absolute and implacable.
The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam. Even if you were to pay jizyah [tax for infidels] and live under the authority of Islam in humiliation, we would continue to hate you.
In a recent press conference, Pope Francis told journalists that the world is at war. "But it's a real war, not a religious war," he said.
"It's a war of interests, a war for money. A war for natural resources and for the dominion of the peoples."
"Every religion wants peace," he said.

Kevin CrittendenI'm an American who was brought up in a small town who wanted to join the US Army right after I graduated from High School. I didn't pass the physical because they thought I had the signs of an eye disease. I went to Spring Arbor College for 5 years and got a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences. I wanted to be a Primary School teacher but I was pulled out of my student teaching after about the first week. I did a practicum at Head Start so I didn't get teaching certification. After graduation, I worked at Day Care Centers and Restaurants. in 1995, God called me to work with needy children in a Season Christian Camp called "Youth Haven Ranch". In 2000, I went to teach English in China. I met a Chinese woman and after dating for about 4 years, we got married. In 2005, we were parents of our son (Raymond). We all moved to the United Sates in 2009. My wife and I are now divorced and my son lives with me now. In 2015, I got hit by a car while crossing the street on my bike. I could gotten killed in that accident and I had at least 3 near death experiences since then. I'm considered disabled now but it some ways, I'm stronger than ever. I'm tougher in Chinese Kung Fu, creative in writing and my relationship with God is so strong that I wouldn't even try to stop myself from sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ if I could! God has proven to me that He uses all things for the good of those who love Him! I'm currently prayerfully seeking God as I feel He's calling me to go back to China to teach English in China during the month of July 2019. My son will be visiting his mother in Hawaii during that month.1 Entry

What Does the Internet Look Like, Jellyfish Perhaps?
Exploring a visualization of the Internet by Young Hyun of CAIDA (by Martin Dodge)
The Internet is often likened to an organic entity and this analogy seems particularly appropriate in the light of some striking new visualizations of the complex mesh of Internet pathways. The images are results of a new graph visualization tool, code-named Walrus, being developed by researcher, Young Hyun, at the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) [1]. Although Walrus is still in early days of development, I think these preliminary results are some of the most intriguing and evocative images of the Internet's structure that we have seen in last year or two.
A few years back I spent an enjoyable afternoon at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and I particularly remember a stunning exhibit of jellyfish, which were illuminated with UV light to show their incredibly delicate organic structures, gently pulsing in tanks of inky black water. Jellyfish are some of the strangest, alien, and yet most beautiful, living creatures [2]. Having looked at the Walrus images I began to wonder, perhaps the backbone networks of the Internet look like jellyfish? Read the rest

Super Readers 2016
Super Readers starts on October 1, 2016!
What is Super Readers? It's T.E. Scott's very own reading reward program.
Every student in the school will start with one Super Readers sheet. After one night of reading (15 minutes for Primary students (K-Gr. 3) and 30 minutes for Intermediate students), a parent will write his/her initials in one box and write the date. After 25 nights of reading, your child will cut the sheet in half and bring it to the Learning Commons during his/her regular library time. And for every 25 nights of reading, students will get one punch on their Super Readers bookmark.
Prizes will be awarded at certain milestones (25 nights, 100 nights, 200 nights, and 250 nights). And the more you read, the more prizes you will get!
The emphasis of the Super Readers Program is on reading for fun, so time spent reading textbooks or novels that have been assigned for homework does not count. However, reading picture books, chapter books, newspapers, magazines, eBooks, comics, graphic novels, and non-fiction books does count!
We hope you will encourage your child to participate in the T.E. Scott Super Reader Program! If you have any questions, feel free to drop by the Learning Commons and talk to Mr. Poon.

Finding the Priceless Pearl
By: White Dove
Underneath the pain and grief lies your greatest blessing.
A pearl of great price is formed layer upon layer.
Abandonment floods the soul with a priceless opportunity to choose to see beyond the pain.
Rejection's relentless persecution and torment crush the soul, but yet you choose to love again.
There is great beauty forming amidst the ashes.
Two mercies for every woe.
Layer by layer, your pearl is forming.
There in the darkness you endure yet another sting of betrayal.
You turn your face upward and rejoice in a Love that has promised to never forsake you.
You choose to trust, even when all is lost.
Fresh grief spills over into old wounds, festering with unforgiveness, pain, and bitterness.
And yet you choose to release the offenses. You choose the way of Love. You forgive and are cleansed.
Layer by layer, your pearl of great price grows more lustrous.
More fiery darts make their mark. Direct hits to your soul.
Instead of self-pity you choose to bless.
The bottom drops out of your finances, bills are overdue, and you're about to lose your home.
You sigh. You cry. And inside you die.
But in the midst of this cruelty you abandon yourself to Love.
Layer by layer, the pain is transformed by Love into a pearl of great price.
You, my dear one, are that pearl of great price.
His life in you. Your life in Him.

Life has been a mess the last 10 days. Chris got caught for the indictment on his child support and was originally held on at $14,575 cash bond, that got reduced down to $1300 on his court date this past Friday however no one has those kind of funds to get him out so he will sit in jail till his next court date which is the 21st. It breaks my heart and I wish that he had of paid something on his child support but I also know that he tried to get a job but no one would hire him due to his 2006 felony. 18 months of that child support should not even be on the total because he was incarcerated and could not pay but the rest he is responsible for and his oldest daughters mom believes that is money owed to her daughter. That is their buisness but it is one of the major reasons Chris and I have not got married because my tax money which I use for my son and to try and catch up on bills would be taken to pay on that.
I got a warrant issued on Sept 2nd for hindering arrest while the other guy who lied twice as much compared to my "I don't know" which I didn't know because he wasn't wearing a jacket I was used to and had just got there did not get a charge because we are assuming that he turned in where he took Chris too. I feel a slight injustice but I guess dealing with the consequences is just part of life. I spent 5 hours in jail over it and was released with a $2500 surety bond. It was my first charge, my first time in jail and not even 24 hours later I recieved my first speeding ticket because I stopped when my dad got pulled over as he was following me.
We moved to C-ville Friday and I have mixed feelings about it because I cannot go to any visitations or accept any more phone calls because power problems and internet problems have caused me to loose 3 days of work....so I was off a whole week and 2 days. That will make for a pretty bad check which I am supposed to pay $303 out of....not going to have it.
I am pretty homesick for the mountains and for my old home at this point but I am trying to remain strong and make do with what I got. It is all I can do. My room is about the only room in the house that is complete living condition (meaning totally set up) mainly because of where I work from home I didn't have a choice. I still have a ton of boxes to go through but I just haven't really had the heart with everything that has been going on.
The house itself has had a lot of unforseen problems. The gas water heater will not light so we still have no hot water, the majority of the faucets are dripping and the washer faucets are leaking badly around the top where they turn on and off. The woman who owns the house said she would have someone come fix the leaks when we move it but it makes you wonder how many other problems are going to rise up? The Gas man would not light heater himself because he said it was located in the bathroom which is now against regulation and has been for 15 years. Someone told us that our furnice also had issues but we haven't gotten that far yet. We have like a 1950's era fuse box which is a fire hazard and also means we can't push a lot of power out of the rooms. That is and issue when you are like me and my family in my room there is 2 sets of plugs only one of which is three prong so not a/c for me and one doesn't work at all so I have a total of three plugs. Those three plugs are powering a laptop, telephone, ipad charge, xbox 360, dish box, tv, internet modem, cell phone charger and sometime a printer. Not good. I was in the middle of a shift Sunday and all my power in just my room went off. I was so mad that I could not work it was pathetic.
I guess that is enough venting just decided to let everyone know what was going on. Take care folks!

PAX East has always been a high-energy, high-stress convention for me. There are so many people I want to catch up with, especially this year, and never enough time to give people the time I feel they deserve. Especially this year, where I feel like I dropped the ball on catching up with everyone, I'm sorry if I missed you.
This year is the first time I've been to PAX Prime (I still prefer to think of it as PAX West), and I wasn't sure what it would be like going to PAX in a city I live in. It's very tempting to get a hotel room near the convention center in the future, despite living not far away, because parking is serious business. I pretty much have to show up as the show opens in order to have a hope of parking, and I can't be as lax about wandering to parties and so forth. My days have to be a lot more planned, especially when I'm there with other folks, because transportation is a thing.
On the other hand, having Kodra and Ashgar at the show was great. I've been slowly re-acclimating to games over the last year– I hadn't realized how stressful video games had become for me, and how thoroughly I'd detached from them. While actively working in the industry, I'd considered it a part of the job to be as caught up as possible on the games that were coming out. I would buy and play through four or five complete games a month, from stuff I really loved to stuff I didn't care for but I knew was relevant to truly awful games that might have a nugget of a good idea in there somewhere.
It was exhausting, and when I left the industry to focus on my Master's degree, I gave myself permission to play only the games I REALLY felt like playing, and I found myself barely playing anything. I went from playing games 30-40 hours a week to going entire weeks without booting up a video game, or barely clocking an hour or two of raid time in FFXIV. Years of forcing myself to play everything has made me really good at being patient with entertainment media, but really hurt my enjoyment of video games as a whole. Letting myself play only what I really felt like meant that, for a while, I played nothing and loved it, and I'm slowly getting myself back into games that I like.
I'm trying to avoid feeling obligated to play things, even though I am. I still feel like I don't log enough time in FFXIV for my guild, and it was a struggle to play through everything surrounding this month's Aggrochat Game Of The Month, which contributed to putting less FFXIV time in. Still, I'm letting myself only play what I feel like playing for the most part, and as a result I'm enjoying what I do play that much more. I've also discovered an upside to my tolerance for forcing my way through things– when faced with a slow-starting game or show, I have the patience to get through the rocky beginnings to get to the better stuff.
Back to PAX, though. I haven't been to a PAX in two years, and the last one I was at I was working for a big chunk of it– fun, but exhausting. I don't feel like I belong at PAX anymore– not because the show isn't welcoming (I've had some fantastic ad-hoc conversations with various people throughout the weekend), but because I'm a lot different than I was the last time I was at PAX. I don't have the boundless font of energy for the show, and I'm a lot pickier and better-informed about the games I want to play. I've never been much for playing games at the show, but I was able to make a circuit of the expo hall in about two hours and see everything I was interested in seeing, making a little note of a number of games to keep an eye on.
I remember being energized at previous shows, and being excited to spend a bunch of time at various booths, trying various games, and going to a bunch of parties and events and whatnot. I don't have that same drive this time. I'm tired of the show fairly quickly, and I don't have much of anything I particularly want to do there. I feel like I'm doing something wrong, or that something's wrong with me, particularly since my companions are FAR more excited and driven to be at the show than I am. I worry that I'm bringing down their weekend, because I don't have the same threshold for it as they do, and even though I'm pushing myself to the limit of what I can manage, I feel like I'm still dragging them away.
I honestly wonder how much has actually changed. Thinking back, I've often ducked out and decompressed on my own in the hotel room, or wandered around solo for a time at other shows (something I haven't done much of this year). In writing this, I'm coming to realize that PAX has always been a show about people for me, about catching up with friends I don't often get to see. It's not the games, it's the friends. I've gotten to spend the weekend with two of my closest friends, and that has been fantastic, with or without PAX itself.

so for the last couple of years we've been seeing more of Alice Dellal.
Brazilian model Andrea Dellal's daughter, born in Brazil.. but raised in England.
She's 27, but we've already seen her working with chanel (the boy bag collection), Marc Jacobs and also for being the face of Mango and now also in h&m's new campaign..seen in my previous post!
You can recognise her for her half shaved head! (Which I think looks cool!)
she does not only do modelling but also plays drums in a girls band.

Live to the fullest
1 in 100,000
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. The cause is unknown. Progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted. Though medical advances had helped to cope with symptoms, there is still no known cure for the disease. According a report by Singhealth, there is about 100 diagnosed cases of MS in Singapore.
In 2003, Mr. Derek Dunn and Ms. Amelia Mok started MS Care, an initiative under CHCSA to provide support and care for MS patients. 13 years down, we are still committed to this work.
We speak to MS warrior Lovely.
1. Did you enjoy the workshop (flower arrangement)?
Yes, it gave me some ideas. For us, there might come a time when we are less mobile, requiring wheelchairs or walking sticks and may not be able to go for work, we can do flower arrangement as a source of income. It will not only help us financially, but will also give us the reason why we need to look forward each day that will come to our life.
2. Was meeting with fellow MS patients helpful?
Yes, it helped me a lot. Especially when I am talking to other MS patients, I can learn from them and I can also share with them my struggles, achievements and how I am coping up with the illness. It's like we are giving each other the hope that we are in need.
3. What other activities would you like to join?
Recreational activities that will use our skills and mind, that even a person in a wheelchair can do.
4. Any words for the volunteers and fellow MS warriors?
Live each day to the fullest, if you are in a wheelchair or walking sticks, don't lose your grip that every day is a new beginning for us. Never underestimate your capability, we may be ill, but as long as our mind and body can react to things, let's use this to overcome anxiety and live like a normal healthy person.
Thank you Lovely, for showing us courage and strength and we are committed to walk with you.
If you know of someone who would benefit from MS Care or if you would like to volunteer for future events, drop us a mail and btw, start living.

Respiratory Therapy
The Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) credential is required to obtain state licenses and practice as respiratory therapists; this is obtained by passing the National Board for Respiratory Care certification examinations. Upon graduation from the accredited program, graduates are eligible to sit for the Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination (TMC). Graduates must achieve a low cut score for the CRT level and a high cut score to reach Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) level. Once the RRT cut score is achieved on the TMC exam, the graduate is eligible to complete the Clinical Simulation Examination (CSE). Passing both examinations provides the graduate with the RRT credential. Other credentialing specialty examinations such as neonatal/pediatric specialty and registered pulmonary function technician are also available.
Our Respiratory Therapy Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC). CoARC recognizes CPCC's Respiratory Therapy Program by awarding it the Distinguished RRT Credentialing Success Award for 2018. For more information about the latest outcomes data for CPCC's Respiratory Therapy program, please refer to the Program Outcomes & Professional Resources page.
Note: Learn more about the criminal background check and drug screen requirements for students accepted into the program.

The Entrepreneur/Investor Disconnect on Returns
Before the question can be answered, however, there are several different numbers and theories involved, and it's important to understand each of them in context:
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the return on an investment OVER TIME, usually expressed as an annual percentage rate (that is, if you invest $10 on January 1 and get back $11 on December 31, that would be a 10% IRR.)
ROI (Return on Investment) is the return on an investment REGARDLESS of time, and is usually expressed as how many times the original investment is returned (that is, if you invest $10 and get back $30 at some point in the future, that would be a 3x ROI.)
PORTFOLIO TARGET RETURN is the IRR that an investor hopes to receive in total, taking into account ALL of the investments, profits and losses made in a given time frame.
ASSET CLASS TARGET RETURN is the IRR that an investor hopes to receive from all investments of a certain type (such as CDs, stocks, bonds, venture capital, angel investments, etc.) TARGET ROI is the ROI that an investor hopes to receive on any one particular deal, taking into account the typical holding period for an investment of that type.
TIME VALUE OF MONEY is a fundamental economic concept that means $1 in your hand today is worth more than $1 a year from now (because you can put that dollar to work during the year, and make more money with it.) As such, ROI calculations are meaningless without an associated time frame. A 10x return that an investor would be ecstatic about if it came back in six months, would be a major disappointment if it took twenty years to come back.
RISK/RETURN TRADEOFF is the principle that the more risk there is in an investment, the higher return there needs to be to compensate for it. As such, an investor willing to take a 2.3% annual return on a US Treasury bill (essentially risk-free), might require a 12% annual return to be enticed to invest in a higher-risk corporate 'junk bond'. (See tinyurl.com/6fby2v)
PORTFOLIO BALANCING means that most investors aim to diversify their risk/return profile by investing in several different types of asset classes, because in any given year one class will do better than another…but it's difficult to predict which. It is therefore not unusual for the same investor to hold both US T-bills AND junk bonds, as well as several other asset classes. (See a fascinating historical chart of the relative returns from different asset classes over the past 20 years: tinyurl.com/5jygn2)
VENTURE/ANGEL INVESTMENTS in early stage companies are considered (for good reason) among the riskiest possible investments one can make. A majority of startups, no matter how promising, fail completely within a couple of years, losing 100% of the money that was invested in them. On the other hand, there is no way that an investment in T-bills (or General Motors) could ever have the potential return of an investment in a company like Google or Facebook.
Sooo…all of the above leads us into the following scenario: Mr. Typical Investor would like to get a somewhat higher total return from his investments than he would get by investing only in T-bills, and is therefore prepared to take some risk to get it. He decides to create a diversified portfolio with an overall annual target return of, say 5%. Since this is more than double the return of the average money market fund over the past five years, Mr. Investor's safe (but low return) investments have to be balanced by some higher risk investments, such as small cap growth stocks, or international funds. But for investors who have an appetite for real risk, and the consequent ability to lose some of their investment if things go wrong, they can go even further up the risk/reward scale to…venture capital.
VC funds in general target a 20% or so annual return to their investors, which can certainly bring up the overall average return on Mr. Investor's diversified portfolio. That sounds great, but with that high return comes equally high risk. Last year, a majority of US venture funds actually lost money and had negative returns, let alone not making their 20% IRR target!
Indeed, venture capital is only one part (the riskiest part) of an asset class called "alternative investments" that include things like private equity buyout funds, commodities, hedge funds, etc. And most institutional investors (the university endowments, pension funds and insurance companies who provide the majority of money to VC funds) nevertheless put only 2-3% of their capital into alternative investments as a whole…because they're so risky.
Let's look, therefore, at what it takes a VC fund to get that elusive 20% IRR. Well, it turns out (in case we didn't already know) that investing in entrepreneurs is indeed a Risky Business. VC's fund fewer than one in 400 deals they look at, but even with that discriminating judgment they are resigned to the fact that between 30% and 50% of their prized investments will crash and burn. Completely. And another 30% or so will end up being "walking dead", that is, making just enough money to keep themselves alive, but not enough to provide any return on the investment. Indeed, statistics over many years have shown than virtually ALL of a VC fund's returns will come from fewer than 10% of their investments. It's the one home run with Google that makes up for all the WebVans, Pets.com and eToys.
Thus, continuing with our math lesson, and taking into account the facts that: one in ten companies in a VC portfolio need to come up with all the return for the portfolio; the average holding time for a VC investment is 5-7 years; and the return for the whole VC portfolio needs to be 20% or so, we can calculate at the end of the equation that ONE company needs to deliver an ROI after six years of something north of 20X! And therefore, since the VC doesn't know WHICH of his investments is going to be The One (otherwise, of course, he wouldn't invest in the other nine!), EVERY one of his investments must have the potential to hit a 20X return.
It's because of all the forgoing realties, concepts and math that there is typically an enormous disconnect between entrepreneurs and investors. The former figure that 'risk adjusted return' means that an investor should be delighted if his/her/its investment brings back a 20 PERCENT profit (which is five to ten times the return from less risky asset clases), while the latter realize that if they don't aim on each deal for a 20 TIMES profit (which is required on a deal basis to deliver the 20% return on a portfolio basis), they will be out of business.
The result? A two-order of magnitude misunderstanding.

Of the enterprise live state, interview 100 entrepreneur, estimation can get 100 different results.

The enterprise of this configuration is represented very well even if our country's current small and medium sized business, private enterprise.

Hog Tennis Drops Home Opener to No. 69 Fresno State 4-3
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – After the first three team points had been decided Sunday, the Razorback tennis team found itself trailing No. 69 Fresno State, 3-0. A brief rally by the Arkansas netters put the team in position to erase the deficit, but the Bulldogs held their lead to beat the Razorbacks, 4-3, Sunday at the Walton Life Fitness Center in Bentonville, Ark.
In the clinching match, Fresno State sophomore Mirko Zapletal defeated No. 76 Blake Strode, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, at the No. 1 position. Strode fell behind 4-0 in the second set, but fought back to win the next six games to the extend the match to three. Zapletal served out the match after a late break of Strode's serve gave him the advantage.
Arkansas earned the first win of the match when Strode and Colin Mascall beat Zapletal and Tejesvi Veerepalli, 8-4, during doubles play. Fresno State, coached by former Razorback Jay Udwadia, won the final two matches to take the doubles point and the 1-0 lead into singles action.
Razorback sophomore Dmitry Lebedev won UA's first team point with a 7-6(3), 6-4 victory over Martin Nilsson at the No. 5 singles spot. The Bulldogs claimed the first two singles points with wins by Siddharth Alapati and No. 91 Rudolf Siwy.
With the match out of reach, Arkansas freshmen Chris Nott and Matt Hogan closed out wins for the Razorbacks to bring the score to its final 4-3 tally. Nott defeated Veerepalli in three sets, 3-6, 7-6(1), 7-6(2), while Hogan also rebounded from losing the first set to beat Danny Fafek, 6-7(5), 7-6(4), 6-4.

When the mother-daughter duo of Rhonnie Straney and Bridie Hayes relocated to Brisbane from Sydney, it was to start a business that was an extension of their inspirations and influences. The duo decided to draw upon their extensive travel experience to open Flock Home – a repository for interior design influenced by Indonesian culture. Located in the space formerly occupied by The Botanist, Flock Home stocks a range of beautiful items sourced from artisans from Java, Ubud and Jakarta. Pieces were sourced over a period of two years to ensure proper research was conducted and also to foster connections with local traders.
The store stocks items including decorative statues, pure silk kimonos, ceremonial headdresses, pillows, and gratitude bowls, as well as larger items such as totem poles. Flock Home also places considerable importance on being socially conscious, donating a portion of proceeds to Orange Sky Laundry and to the villages that have provided inspiration. The coming months will see Rhonnie and Bridie expand their Flock empire to physical health and wellbeing – establishing Flock Fit in Newstead. The fitness studio will offer a range group classes from boxing to meditation in a zen space. If you are seeking more information, click over to the Stumble Guide.

Montroze are a five piece pop punk band from Bath UK who take influences from The Wonder Years, Basement, Citizen, Real Friends, The Story So Far, Transit and Title Fight.
Jason Bishop, Vocals
Sam Chard, Guitar
Jake Matthews, Drums
Ben Curd, Guitar
Mike Yeatman, Bass
Montroze released there EP "Escape" on September 14, 2017.
Track List
1, Escaping
2, Shameful You
3, Contemplation
4, A Breath
5, Pages of a Different Book
6, Escaping Part II
Escaping. The massive sound to the intro of the track starts the Ep on a strong note, making the genre noticeably pop punk. The vocal line throughout is really a big push on the track and is really melodic, which is heard in the chorus, "It gets better than this, you'll be alright kid". The lead riff which starts the track and then reappears slightly in the verse, a unique sound. The verse has a really amazing rhythm with the stabbing. The verse feel really thin in layers, it makes the chorus sound bigger as it becomes straight.
Shameful You. The summer vibe intro which leads into a fast paced verse is really pushed by the drums with the rest of the band sitting their sound just over the top. Before the chorus there is a slight rhythm change and this sense on how the track is going to be building up, then the track explodes into a flourish of catchy melodies. "So here's your song, This one's for you. And all the shit things that you put me through." After the chorus there is a slight bass fill which puts the track together and keeps the momentum up. The guitars have slight little riffs throughout; bringing the flavor to the track and it really helps carry the bridge and then the last pre-chorus. The track really speaks to the listener of having someone who has put them through a hard time.
Contemplation. The acoustic track is really beautiful and it gives a different side to what the band can sound like. The chorus' first line "I try to take on the world by myself, and i'll turn down everybody's help." it feels very up lifting and to which you can feel almost sorry and how this person is really on their own. Though it also says blocking everyone else out of there life and not really letting anyone in. "I've built these walls so high, to keep everyone out." The two guitars weave in and out of each other throughout the track and really shows a strong base for the track. Lovely and honest.
A Breath. Short instrumental interlude which helps to lead into the next track.
Pages of a Different Book. The intro riff which comes from "A Breath" and the intro breaks into a bouncing sound. The verse is really fast with the drums pushing the track forward and with the bass and guitar sound just sitting on top, the first line "This has been one of the hardest years of my life," starts with thinking of the past and how something really bad has happened to make this year feel really bad. The chorus has a slight break before it drops into the swing sound "Feels like the weight of the world is crushing my shoulders" the chorus catches your attention on how tough life is this year for the person and how much pressure there really is, the chorus also speeds as the band sticks together to make this very unique sound. "The expectations placed on me, " these words are when the band really push their sound and explode into a massive and very powerful sound. There is a slight positive note in the bridge "it's not all bad I've achieved a lot in this past year" such a contrast between lyrics, been a hard year but then you have done a lot with the time.
Escaping, Pt. 2. The acoustic ending for the Ep is perfect, the simple straight-forward track which is knowing that life might put you down when you're young but it will get better. "Now I'm giving a self pep-talk in the mirror," showing that the person is trying to give themselves confidence to keep moving on with the day. Take a listen and maybe you might be able to reflect on your own life.
Overall the Ep sound is perfect, the recordings are amazing and each sound has been written and has attention to detail for each part of the track.
"My soul became entwined with you"

I am sure this is going to turn out harder to explain than I want, but I am going to try this anyway. You saw the set up, you know what you need to get the cute, messy, cake smash pictures. But if you want them to look REALLY nice, then you are going to need to spend a little time on them after the shoot is over. Honestly, I think this is where photographers can get away with charging so much money. Once you have your camera settings and lighting figured out, it only takes maybe 15 minutes to take these pictures. Post processing, on the other hand, can take 15 min PER PHOTO! Now that I am comfortable with Lightroom and Photoshop it doesn't take that long anymore, but it is still a good amount of time and work. If you have the patience for this, it can really be worth it.
It is probably best to start at the beginning with this tutorial, so camera settings! For pretty much the whole shoot I left my camera set at ISO 800, 50mm, f2.5, 1/400s (shutter speed changed a little here and there) and shot in RAW format for the highest quality and detail capture. It was (of course) a little cloudy so my lighting wasn't ideal and that pushed my ISO up to 800, which I don't particularly like. It left the pictures grainier than I prefer, but hey I worked with what I had! I underexposed the entire shoot so that I could get the shutter speed up to 1/400s. Most of you reading probably know how hard it is to get a one year old to sit still. If my shutter was any slower the pictures would have been blurry so I underexposed, knowing I could fix the exposure in Lightroom. Fixing exposer issues is easier than fixing a blurry picture… Mostly because you can't really fix a blurry picture. If you saw my last post, with all the pretty edited pictures, this next picture might be shocking;) Here is the example photo I am going to use throughout the tutorial, straight out of my camera it looked like this:
It is very dark, grainy, not really that pretty, besides Summer looking adorable. There is definitely much to be desired, so take it to Lightroom. Lightroom actually comes with a set of General Presets that can sometimes be a helpful start. I usually use Auto Tone and Medium Contrast Curve on my pictures and then make adjustments from there. Once I had it looking nice my LR settings were: Exposure +1.05, Contrast -15, Highlights -6, Shadows +37, Whites +24, Blacks -12, Clarity +10, Vibrance +15, Medium Contrast Curve, Sharpening 25, and Luminance 20 (to help with the graininess). With those setting I then had this:
Ahhh, much better! Now, you can't just take those adjustment settings and throw them on any picture, the adjustments will be different for different photos. That is there just to give you an idea. And that is all I do in Lightroom! You can crop and make other adjustments in LR, but from here I like to take my pictures to Photoshop for the rest of the work. First off, it needs to be cropped, as you can see the backdrop stand and my baby gates in the right side of the photo! In this step I also did a slight color adjustment because Summer was looking a little yellow (added blue). Here:
I wanted to keep the cake centered, and even though you can see that dark reflection bottom right, I didn't want to close in on her anymore. That dark corner is easily edited out. Use the rectangular marquee tool to select an area of the background that matches what you want the darker spot to be. Copy and paste, and then drag that pasted piece to the bottom corner (or wherever you need it). Flatten image. Next I used the heal brush to smooth out the visible outer edge of the plexiglass. I used the background just above the edge as my sample, and painted with a hard brush (not too much bigger than the visible edge) over the edge. Do one side at a time and resample when you switch sides. Now we have this:
It is subtle and looks a little cleaner, easy work for a nice effect. And now it looks pretty great! I make simple, unnecessary adjustments from here but I will explain those too;) I'm not going to lie, I use some Photoshop Actions created by others and that is what I did in my next step. I am specifically using an action set called The Picture Perfect Mega Set, by Paint the Moon. There are lots of sets that basically do all of the same things, but this set is my favorite. You can do eye pops, skin smoothing, color adjustments, and so on. They are kind of expensive though, so if you are interested in free action sets let me know and I can help you find some good ones. So I used an action to brighten and smooth her skin just a tad, and to lightly highlight her hair.
And then last I just added some final touches: increased sharpness, increased brightness juuuuuust a tad, and same for the contrast. Final product:
Viola! And questions, again let me know. Hope this helps!
(Considering making a video tutorial for anyone who thinks that would be easier to follow along with…)

What's in my makeup box
I am a nosey person and enjoy seeing how people conduct their lives on a daily basis; this includes watching videos and reading blogs on how fellow makeup addicts store their makeup collections. Since as I enjoy looking into other people's makeup collections and storage I figured I better practice what I preach and show you how I store my day to day makeup.
Why such a big box
My box never used to be this big; I started with a rather small and understated box, but with any person who has an obsession. My collection grew at rapid pace and before I knew it, my huge makeup bag bulged at the seams. Having too much makeup in one confined space is not productive when you try to put your makeup on in the morning; I forever struggled to find what I wanted and always having to swap around my palettes every few days because I could only fit one in at a time. I also had another problem that threatened to mess with my makeup and that was my 18-month-old daughter who had discovered that her Mum kept her makeup in an somewhat accessible bag in the living room.
So, to solve these problems I looked at steel lockable cases and put one on my Christmas Wish List in the hope I would get it. What I received from my wonderful Mother in Law was so much better than I imagined; she got me the Pretty Pink Large Black Aluminium Vanity Case which is not just huge but has great compartments that means I can reach for what I want in a quick and easy manner.
Compartment 1 – base products
This box satisfies my obsession with organising things into compartments; I love that I can have all my base products all in one section. I keep all of my primers, foundations and concealers here so that if I fancy just doing a simple face I do not have to go through every compartment. In this section, I currently have the PS Love my perfect colour foundation, Revlon colour stay foundation, the Seventeen Phwaor paint concealer, PS my perfect colour concealer, Nyx undereye concealer, Freedom HD powder, Nyx pore filler primer, the Illamasqua Satin Primer and the Gerald Cosmetics Slay All Day Setting spray in Lavender.
Compartment 2 eyes and miscellaneous
This is the most random compartment I have as it is a mixture of things. This compartment is at the top of the box due to having everything I need for a simple makeup look if I am in a hurry. I keep eye products and brows in here, but I also have a bronzer/highlighter there as well. In this section I have the Freedom brow pomade, Illamasqua gel eyeliner (sample), PS Lash out mascara, Seventeen Va Va Voom mascara, Essence Gel liner, Nyx eyeliner, Essence 2 in 1 eyeshadow primer, Essence super precise eyeliner, the PS fine liner pen, Sugarpill single eyeshadow in Midori, Benefit gimme brow and the Makeup Revolution renaissance bronze and glow.
Compartment 3 highlighters
This is not all of my highlighters in the box as I keep some in the bottom compartment due to them being larger palettes. This is where I have the single highlighters and small highlight palettes as well as a pressed glitter from the Oh My Glitter Mystery Box. The products in the box are the Balm Luminizer sisters holiday palette, the Makeup Revolution Ghost Lights highlighter, MUA strobe and glow, the Sleek Solstice palette, Phees Makeup Shop highlight in Buzz Luxe and the Makeup Revolution liquid highlighter in Starlight.
Compartment 4 lip Liners and lipsticks
This one is perhaps the compartment with the most items inside as lipliners are quite easy to store and take little room. I also love having as much variety of lip liners and lipsticks to hand so I do not just stick to one all the time. I will regularly swap my lipsticks around every couple of weeks so I do not get bored.
I am going through massive mauve lip phase and most of my lipsticks are all mauve shades apart from the odd nude, red or dark purple. The reason I adore mauve lips as it acts much in the same way as a nude, to blend in with looks and not detract from the eye makeup but it also suits my fair complexion well, some of my favourite shades are currently in there at the moment; J* Scorpio, Unicorn Blood and Dirty Money, Lime crime Posh, Moonstone, Cashmere, LA Splash Romance and Seductress, Mac Twig and the Makeup Revolution Renaissance Lipsticks in Greatest, Vintage and Luxe. The majority of my lip liners are from Essence, I would recommend their lipliners (the retractable ones or the black pencil ones) as they are so creamy and so amazing and help my lipstick last for ages, my favourite shades are Girl Next Door, Rosewood and Plumcake.
Bottom compartment; eyeshadow, highlighter and blush palettes
This is the part I have been dreading as I know that this may be excessive and considering I have a whole other box of eyeshadow palettes upstairs in my bedroom makes me feel sick. It started off quite well with me just putting my Makeup Geek custom palette of neutral shadows and then a few smaller and more colourful ones. As with every person who has an obsession, the box started with around four palettes and I have been filling it with as many palettes I can fit as humanly possible, I am well aware I have a problem and part of my problem is sheer laziness than I cannot be bothered to keep swapping my palettes around every week.
I have many custom palettes in this section as they contain my favourite eyeshadows; I have a neutral Makeup Geek palette, a green and blue Makeup Geek palette, a purple Makeup Geek palette, a Makeup Geek Blush and Contour palette along with a La Femme Blush Palette. The highlight palettes I have are the Anastacia Beverly Hills Nicole Guerriero palette, the Moonchild Palette and a Phees Makeup Shop custom palette with various single highlighters. The eyeshadow palettes I have at the moment are from Makeup Revolution; Soph X, Mint Chocolate bar, Rose Gold Chocolate bar, the Water palette, Sparkles palette and the Flawless 4 palette. I also have the Sleek Snapshots palette, ABH Modern Renaissance, Juvia's Place Zulu palette, a Sugarpill palette and the Fire and Ice palette from Oh My Glitter.
So that is what I currently have in my makeup box, I do have other makeup items that I will regularly swap around and maybe I will resurrect my old Shop My Stash posts that first got me into blogging a year ago. I hope you enjoyed this post and seeing some of my makeup collection; what are you currently using in your makeup stash, I would love to know in the comments.
Ciao for now beauties xx

I'm using a makeup box for now too. My wish is to have a beauty section in my room , like a vanity ..omg!
These boxes are so nice!! I used to use one but I found it to be a bit bulky. But I imagine it's great for protecting from your daughter haha 🙂 you have a lovely collection!
LOVE this post! I really like makeup collection and storage. I don't know whether I am just nosey, or need new storage ideas
xx Laura
I use a clear bag, the clearness makes such a difference in usability. Perhaps I should find a clear box 🤔
I have a make up box too, but I had to downsize to something smaller due to the confined space in my bathroom. I love how you organized your makeup inside the box!
Pingback: Shop My Stash Sunday – Life With Mrs T
I love train cases! I like that you're organized. I cringe when I see collections just randomly situated. I don't know how others manage when everything is scattered. Keeping everything in its own space really does help with saving time.
Great post! Thank you for sharing! I love these types of posts. 🙂 <3
