Americans for Peace Now sent a letter to President Obama today, urgently pointing out what should be obvious to him: “Engage NOW to get Jerusalem under control.” The full text of the letter can be found here.
Netanyahu to rein in the mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat. I’ll take it further—Barkat is as big a threat to Israel’s future as any individual in the world.
Barkat, a businessman, became mayor in 2008, and many thought that as a secular Israeli, coming on the heels of a very religious mayor, he would be more pragmatic. Such has not been the case.
Barkat has gone out of his way to enflame the conflict with the Palestinians. Jerusalem is the most emotional of all the issues setting Israelis and Palestinians at odds, and the mayor of Jerusalem, therefore, has more direct power than anyone to cause flare-ups.
In my most recent article, I described Benjamin Netanyahu as having won his roll of the dice in the wake of the Israeli announcement of new Jerusalem building while Joe Biden was trying to restart the peace process.
I spoke too soon. Perhaps one can say my expectations of the Obama Administration had been lowered and so the recent developments come as a pleasant surprise. But pleasant it is, and the welcome stance from Washington is going to force some recalculations in Israel. How much of a recalculation is going to depend on how steadfast Obama can remain in the face of what is likely to be a growing backlash.
The Obama Administration may have accepted the excuse that the timing of the announcement of 1,600 new housing units in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo was a bureaucratic foul-up. But the Israeli apology, which went out of its way to make it clear that it was only the timing that was seen to be at fault, was not sufficient for Washington.
By stressing that the only problem was the fact that the announcement came while Joe Biden was in Israel trying to start “proximity talks” between Israel and the Palestinians, Israel put the Obama Administration in a bad position. If Washington accepted the apology and let the matter go, the talks were doomed because it would have meant, to the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world, that the US was not objecting to the expansion of a Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem. Even if they had continued, American credibility would have been so low as to make the talks pointless. | 2019-04-19T00:20:18 | https://realisticpeace.wordpress.com/tag/ramat-shlomo/ |

Every now and then someone asks who I am. For several years I resisted posting an autobiographic page because I had seen a large number of them, and I believe most folks don't care to see photos of someone's kids or the family pet. Of course, if these home-spun pages are for the purpose of helping the individual learn HTML, then I somewhat understand.
I first wrote these words in 1997, on the 53rd anniversary of my birth in Cleveland, Ohio. I grew up in that state, finally graduating second in my class of 31 students from Chalker High School, Southington, Ohio, in 1961, where I had been a member of the Beta Club and the National Honor Society (and attended Buckeye Boys State in 1960). Although accepted into an honors program by Kent State University, I spent the next 20 years of my life on active duty with the United States Air Force, where I learned both Russian and Czech. I am ashamed to say that I have forgotten most of my Czech, even though I completed the course at the Defense Language Institute with very high grades. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in foreign languages from the University of Maryland. (Yes, I am just plain "Mister", not "Doctor," Cochrun).
While stationed in West Berlin, I became interested in Soviet aircraft, shining glints of which I could see in the sky over the city. From time-to-time their sonic booms nearly deafened us. So I took up modeling them in plastic from kits. As with many model builders, research into the aircraft became an avocation. In fact, I haven't built a model in years, although I still buy the kits. Someday I intend to build them all, to the high standards required for entry into the competitions held by the International Plastic Modelers Society, of which I once was a member of the U.S.A. branch, but over time and because other activities, I have allowed my membership to lapse.
After I retired from the Air Force in 1981, I went to work for the Department of Defense, where I served in various organizations. From February 1999 until July 2000, I worked under contract as an Internet Research Specialist for a major U.S. aerospace firm.
Because of my interest in languages, I was asked to obtain a list of conferences for linguists. What began as help for a few folks turned into an interesting, albeit time-consuming task that I can no longer support. I also consider myself something of a historian, concentrating of course on the Soviet/Russian aircraft, their designers, and their test pilots. I had been acting as a translator and technical advisor for George John Geiger when he passed away before he completed his multi-volume history on the aircraft. George had been a free-lance magazine writer; I believe that his last aircraft article was about the Yak-141.
From 2000 to the present time, I have been a free-lance translator of Russian into English, specializing in handwritten documents, cancer research studies, history, and so forth. For the first time in 2005, I had the opportunity to translate a book from Russian into English for the author of that book, "The Medieval Empire of the Israelites." The book takes a different look at history. Please note if you read this translation that I did NOT use the word "photographies" for the caption for the photos of the Colossi of Memnon on page 156. Someone changed it.
Since that time I have translated the Yuri Tsyp novellas written by Boris Shchiglik and "The Jews and Their Role in Our World" by Vladimir Minkov, PhD, as well as other tracts and book chapters.
I am married, have two daughters and five surviving grandchildren. Chase, named after my late father, and Aileen, are Terri's, while Owen, Aaron and Noah are Kelly's. We lost Harry, Terri's youngest, very sadly due to an undiagnosed heart condition in April 2018.
It is September 2018. I am 74 already.. Chase is now in the Marine Reserves. Aileen is divorced and has a daughter and a boy. (Yes, I am a great-grandfather). Only Noah remains to graduate high school, which will be spring of 2019. Where has the time gone?!?

Kombucha, a fermented tea (KT) is claimed to possess many beneficial properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and histopathological alterations of Kombucha tea and Nitrofurazone on cutaneous full-thickness wounds healing in rat.
In present study 24 Wister -albino rats weighing 150–200 g were selected and divided to two treatment groups as Nitrofurazone ointment (0.2%) and Kombucha tea. Subsequently, the anesthesia was exerted by Ketamin hydrochloride 10% (40 mg/kg) and Xylasine (2 mg/kg) through intra muscular (IM) route. Furthermore, upon preparation of dorsal region of the animal for surgery, a piece of full-thickness skin removed (2 × 2 cm). In order to comparing wounds healing clinically and histologically, once every four days from the commencement, the wounds were photographed and the healed surface was measured by Scion image software.
The clinical findings indicated that the Kombucha fungus resulted in precipitating healing than Nitrofurazone; however, it was not significant (p > 0.05). In order to pathological comparing of wound healing process, several wound biopsies were taken on 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20th days. Additionally, the histopathological results demonstrated that there was inflammation in Nitrofurazone group through twelveth day, somehow the epithelium was formed and abundant vessels were visible. Although on 16th day and the previous days the healing condition of Kombucha fungus was considered as minimal rate, revealing it is similar to Nitrofurazone group on 20th day.
To wrap up. These observations suggest that the Kombucha fungus healing quality was rapid from 12th day to the end of the research, whereas no significant difference was observed.
The wound healing process is a normal physiological response to injury and generally leads to restoration of normal structure and function in damaged tissues. In certain disorders, the wound healing process leads to an altered restitution of tissue structure and function that is associated with the development of remodeling and fibrosis [1, 2].
Kombucha is a traditional beverage consumed in various parts of the world and especially in Asia. Its earliest known use originated with Dr. Kombu in 220 BC for curing the digestive troubles of Japan’s emperor. Many health promoting effects of Kombucha have been claimed , but adverse effects attributed to this beverage have been reported as well . Kombucha is typically prepared by fermenting black tea, sweetened with sugar, with what is popularly known as a ‘tea fungus,’ at room temperature for 10–12 days [5, 6]. This so called ‘tea fungus’ is actually a symbiosis of yeasts and acetic acid bacteria, the cellulosic pellicle formed by the latter commonly described as the ‘fungus’ [7–9].
Currently, Kombucha is alternately praised as “the ultimate health drink” [9, 10] or damned as “unsafe medicinal tea” [10–12]. Testimonials claim causal benefits for everything from AIDS improvement, balding relief, cancer cures, and diabetic and arthritic symptom relief to prolonged longevity, weight loss, and cognition enhancements [13, 14]. In conjunction with Kombucha’s growing popularity, life-threatening human health problems are beginning to be reported. Hepatotoxicity, necrotizing pancreatitis, 16 and several human deaths have been linked to drinking Kombucha beverage [11, 16, 17].
In traditional medicine Kombucha was used for many disease treatments, including wound healing. Because of high abilities of Kombucha in curing, antibiotic, detoxification and skin luminosity it was supposed to determine the effect on injured skin in vitro condition. The composition and properties of tea are well documented, but scarce scientific information is available concerning the composition and the effects of Kombucha on health. Benefits have been reported by testimony of users in different conditions and with variable consummation. Nitrofurazone, an antibacterial drug was found to be photolabile; its photolability has been described in a number of recent papers [17, 18].
Nitrofurazone is a synthetic nitrofuran with abroad antibacterial spectrum; it acts by inhibiting bacterialenzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism . Nitrofurazone is a topical anti-infective agent with a broadantibacterial spectrum; bactericidal against most bacteria commonly causing surface infections, including S aureus, Streptococcus.
Wound healing is a dynamic process that involves the integrated action of a number of cell types (the interactions of many cells types, including inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes and endothelial cells, as well as the involvement of growth factors and enzymes), the extra cellular matrix, and soluble mediators termed cytokines. The normal adult healing process proceeds through a number of overlapping events: clot formation, inflammation, re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, wound contraction, scar formation and tissue remodeling. Growth factors released in the traumatized area promote cell migration into the wound area (chemotaxis), stimulate the growth of epithelial cells, and fibroblasts (mitogenesis) initiate the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and stimulate matrix formation and remodeling of the affected region. The formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing capillaries that are then able to penetrate the wound site is an essential component of the wound healing process [21–23].
Until now, no knowledge has been available pertaining to the histological study of Kombucha tea treatment on wound healing in injured skin. The aim of the present study was to use histopathological and clinical methods to evaluate the effect of Kombucha tea and Nitrofurazone on cutaneous full-thickness wounds healing in rats.
All experimental protocols were approved by the local animal care committee in accordance with Faculty of Tehran Veterinary Medicine office regulations. In current study, 24 Wister -albino rats of both sexes, weighing 200–250 g, were utilized. The animals were kept in individual propylene cages under standard laboratory conditions by the dimensions of 30 × 50 × 25 cm3 two by two. Rats were maintained on a 12 hour light/dark cycle at 22 ± 1°C and 50 ± 10% humidity. The animals were kept in standard room conditions and fed with standard rat diet and water ad libitum.
Brooke Bond Red Label Tea (Hindustan Lever Limited, Mumbai, India) was used for the preparation of kombucha tea. Tea was added to boiling water (1.2%) and allowed to infuse for about 5 min after which the infusions were filtered through a sterile sieve. Sucrose (10%) was dissolved in hot tea, and the preparation was left to cool. The cooled tea (200 mL) was poured into 500 mL glass jars that had been previously sterilized at 121°C for 20 min and inoculated with 3% (w/v) freshly grown tea fungus that had been cultured in the same medium for 14 days and 10% (v/v) previously fermented liquid tea broth aseptically. The jar was covered with a clean cloth and fastened tightly. The fermentation was carried out in the dark at 24 3°C for 14 days [24, 25].
Kombucha culture was kept under aseptic conditions. Fermentation was carried out by incubating the Kombucha culture at 28 ± 1°C for 8–10 days. Subsequently, the medium (brew) was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 30 minutes aseptically and stored in polypropylene vials at -20°C for further use .
Kombucha was subsequently fractionated using ethyl acetate (1:2, V/V). The solvent extracts and the remaining aqueous phase were concentrated using a vacuum rotary evaporator (R-200 model of Buchi Co, Germany). The obtained sticky mass was dissolved in distilled water appropriately and filtered through 0.22 μ Millipore membrane filter (Millipore Co, St-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France), later allowed to degas it. The concentrated extracts were freezed at -50°C to -60°C before subjecting to lyophilize and stored the lyophilized extract of kombucha at -20°C according to modified method of Jayabalan . The lyophilization process was carried out at Orchid Pharmaceuticals, Chennai, India. The desired daily dose of lyophilized aqueous extract of kombucha was prepared with milli-Q-water as stock and reconstituted to different volumes with milli-Q-water as per designed doses just before subjecting to treatment.
In present study, a region as 4 × 4 cm was shaved after anesthesia and prepared for surgery following scrub. In addition, a piece of full-thickness (2 × 2 cm) skin was removed from dorsal surface of the animal using a sterile scalpel and a simple forceps, hence an open wound was created, the digital photography was implemented and finally the wound was bandaged by paraffin gauze dressing, wibril and adhesive plaster. Wounds were covered with sterile gauzes, which were fixed with adhesive tape (width, 4 cm) extending to the dorsal area. As described previously , Kombucha and Nitrofurazone ointment (0.1 mL) were applied to the wound surfaces. Next, all wounds were covered with sterile gauzes and fixed. The second treatment was performed 6 hours later and repeated 3 times per four day for 20 days .
The rats were divided into two groups after 24 hours and randomly allotted into one of two experimental groups each group contains twelve animals, somehow each group was taken one of cures as a (Nitrofurazone 0.2%) and b (Kombucha fungus) and then were bandaged.
The photography of wounds was performed in order to clinical comparing of healing process of two treatment groups. The trend was started from the beginning and repeated every four days. For clinical assessment, the captured photos were analyzed by Scion image software which aimed to measure healing process and epithelialization, and were compared between two treatment groups as well. The measurement method was as transfer of scanned wound pictures into cited software, and measuring scale system, firstly, was chosen through known internal points in each figure and was calibrated for two vertical and horizontal directions. Consequently, by operating the software, the epithelial tissue edges were ascertained and located in suitable condition to account and recording it by the software.
In order to examining histopathological comparing of treatment effects on 4th, 8th, 12th and 20th days, the animals were killed under ether anesthesia. The hairs around the wound were shortened with scissors and removed with depilatory cream. The skin outside the wound was wiped with 70% ethanol and povidone-iodine. The sutures in closed wounds were removed. With a no 15 scalpel, approximately 3 cm2 rectangular tissue samples including epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue with 0.5 cm margin from wound edges and ends were taken. The mentioned method was performed following intra muscular injection of Ketamin hydrochloride 10% (high dose), and the samples were taken from dorsal region and healed tissue along with slightly of normal parts. In addition, the sample was fixed in a unolit by a disinfected needle, by povidine iodine, then tissue fragments were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin solution (for 72 hours), upon stability embedded in paraffin, sectioned at 5 μm thickness and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).
Angiogenesis, fibroplasias, complete healing and inflammatory cell infiltration were evaluated in H&E-stained sections and scored semi quantitatively as follows: no or minimal angiogenesis, fibroplasias, complete and inflammatory cell infiltration (-), mild angiogenesis, fibroplasias and complete, inflammatory cell infiltration (+), inflammatory cells form extent and severity /moderate to severe angiogenesis, fibroplasias and complete (++), confluent inflammatory cell aggregates/moderate edema (+++) .
The data were analyzed using the SPSS 7.5 Windows Students version software. For all the measurements, one-way ANOVA followed by Student’s–Newman–Keul’s (SNK) test was used to assess the statistical significance of difference between Nitrofurazone and Kombucha tea (lyophilized extract) treated. A statistically significant difference was considered at the level of P < 0.05.
Upon analytical evaluation, the comparison of three variables such as wound contraction, epithelialization and complete healing of the wounds on 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 20th days in two treatment groups by Spss software using t-test was demonstrated that in Kombucha group the healing was faster which was significant (p < 0.05) in all cases, however. It should be notified that there was remarkable healing in benefit to Kombucha fungus during the performance at all three variables. Furthermore, the full healing (100%) was pertained to Kombucha treatment group though no considerable difference was recorded in Nitrofurazone group at all variables (Additional file 1 Chart 1 and 2).
Emergence of thick collagen particles in harmony with slight fibroblasts and loss of blood vessels or inflammatory cells indicated the complete wound healing. According to pathological findings revealed that in two treatment groups by Nitrofurazone, the inflammation was observable through 12th day as well as loss of epithelialization, but a large number of blood vessels were created (Figure 1 A, B, C and D). However, in Kombucha treatment groups the epithelialization was obvious on 12th day and the trend was completely formed on 16th day (Figure 2A, B, C and D). Overall, the healing condition at Kombucha treatment group was similar to Nitrofurazone on 20th day; however, the results indicated which the Kombucha fungus healing enjoyed conspicuous clinically and histopathologically effects on 12th day by the end of the research.
Histopatholigically, Nitrofurazone treatments groups are in different days. A Four day inflammatory responses associated with intradermal immune infiltrates with promoting angiogenesis, B: Eighth day Excessive inflammation and angiogenesis during wound healing, C: Twelfth and sixteenth days; Loss of epithelial integrity associated with abundant angiogenesis and inflammation cells and epithelial tissues are formed by cells that cover the organ surface but not completed unlike Kumbucha, D: Twentieth day healing is crazy acceptable, closing up of the wounds with out inflammation and dermal appendages destroyed.
Histopatholigically, Kumbucha treatment group in different days. A Fourth day, Loss off epithelial associated with angiogenesis and inflammation, B: Eighth and twelfth day , loss of epithelial associated with abundant vessels and excessive inflammation and newly formed blood vessels and scarce amount of inflammatory elements, C: Sixteenth day, relatively good after healing after sixteenth day and dermal appendages destroyed, D: Twentieth day, Healing is crazy acceptable.
According to statistical analysis demonstrated that the inflammation severity on 8th, 4th and 12th days was severe in two treatment groups and showed no significant difference, whereas on 16th day saw an remarkable difference (p < 0.05) at inflammation security rate which decreased in Kombucha group (Tables 1 and 2). However, it was the same with no any difference on 20th day. The angiogenesis rate on 4th, 12th, 8th and 16th days was more in Nitrofurazone group than Kombucha group with no considerable difference and the angiogenesis was also the same in two groups on 20th day (Figure 1A, B, C and D).The fibroplasias rate was the same on 8 and 9th days although indicated no significant difference on 12th at Kombucha group and it was the same on 16th and 20th days as well.
The complete wound healing was the same and had no significant difference at two treatment groups (Additional file 1Chart 1-4)). Accordingly, the complete wound healing at two treatment group was the same with no any significant difference, thus due to remarkable reduction of inflammation on 16th day at Kombucha group, and no conspicuous rise regarding fibroplasia on 12th day, revealed that the healing quality at Kombucha group was considered to be more beneficial (Figure 2A, B, C and D). On the other hand, it can be microscopically considered that the cause of more efficient healing of Kombucha group, that indicated no significant differences with Nitrofurazone group, was the severe reduction of the inflammation along with more fibroplasia on cited days which emerged positive effects on final contraction and epithelialization of the wound .
The wound healing is a complicated phenomenon, but regular, which some organized processes contribute in it. The human have being tested diverse chemical and herbal materials on wound healing [29, 30] (Figure 3).
Scheme of different stages of cutaneous wound repair in rats: A, B and C: The first 12- 24 hours after injury is defined by the platelet plug and blood clot formation. Inflammatory cells invade the blood clot triggering acute inflammatory response. Furthermore, blood elements and vasoactive amines extravasate from locally damaged blood vessels within the dermis. Vascular permeability is temporarily increased to allow neutrophils, platelets and plasma proteins to infiltrate the wound. Coagulation then occurs as platelets aggregate with fibrin. D, E and F: After 48–72 h, macrophages replace polymorphonuclear neutrophils as the principal inflammatory cell. Together, polymorphonuclear neutrophils and macrophages remove debris from the wound, release growth factors, and begin to reorganise the extracellular matrix. The proliferation phase begins at about 72 h as fibroblasts, recruited to the wound by growth factors released by inflammatory cells, begin to synthesise collagen. The new tissue is called granulation tissue. Keratinocytes proliferate at the wound edge and migrate down the injured dermis and above the provisional matrix. 1–2 week after injury the wound is completely filled with granulation tissue. Fibroblasts have transformed into myofibroblasts, leading to wound contraction and collagen deposition. The wound is completely covered with a neoepidermis. Modified from Steven R. Beanes et el., 2003.
In present study, the results demonstrated faster healing by Kombucha than Nitrofurazone, but no significant difference was visible. According to histological finding revealed that at Nitrofurazone group inflammation, numerous blood vessels with no any epitheliogenesis were observable. Overall, the healing condition at Kombucha group was similar to Nitrofurazone on 20th day, whereas on 16th day and former days the healing considered as minimal.
In addition, microscopical and histopathological factors ascertained that the healing quality of Kombucha fungus was more beneficial on 12th day by the end of the research; however, indicated no significant difference. Maghsoudi and Mohammadi in 2009 assessed the Kombucha influence on removing of postoperation intrapretoneal adhesion, and claimed that the cause was the oxidized treated cellulose and hyaluronic acid or its solution .
In a study by king in 2006 cited that high indication of hyaluronic acid during wound healing was rapid wound recovery and scar reduction . Longaker et al., in 2008 indicated that HA reduces 5–10 days after injury . Therefore, the increase of such fundamental material during wound healing, utilization of the colony of enriched HA termed Kombucha, could be advantageous. Topham in 2002 demonstrated that the embryonic ulcers recover without any scar and become full of HA as embryonic extracellular matrix . In addition, Locono et al., 2005 cultured the forelimb of embryos in vitro and triggered an ulcer on it, hence finally indicated that the external HA decreased wound . Lee et al., 1995 found that the HA induces fibroblast proliferation which produced efficient locomotor forces for wound contraction . Furthermore, Weigel in 1986 ascertained that the minor particle of HA stimulates phagocytosis of macrophages . Prohibiting of macrophage function postpones the healing process. Moreover, the source of HA, existing in Kombucha, reservoir has being accessed through microorganism fermentation. Of other effective compound in wound healing is vitamin C which has been observed in Kombucha as well.
Krichner et al., 2003 demonstrated that such vitamin precipitated the wound recovery in postoperative patients . Jagetia et al., 2004 indicated that the wound improvement delay due to γ rays attributed to Ascorbic acid decrease and believes that the vitamin C increased the collagen content and vessels intensity, somehow such rise is indispensable for tissue damages and for wounds in remodeling phase . Prashant et al., 2008 through microscopic cellulose assessment of Kombucha, originating from fermentation, found that such material carry beneficial effect on promoting chronic ulcer healing as ulcers with venous origin, bed sore and diabetics ulcers with difficult remedies . Brown and Chem, 1886 reported that Acetobacter Xylinum generates stiff membrane of cellulose when grows in an appropriate nutrient solution. Fontana et al. claimed that such sort of information is more helpful for grade 2 and 3 burning ulcers and even for graftedskin as well . Banerjee et al. 2010 assessed the Kombucha extract’s effective treatment on cutaneous wound healing in vitro condition .
In this research the shaved skin of male mouse was incubated in a DMEM culture medium by grade technique at phase between fluid and air for 3 days. Various doses 50, 25 and 75% were evaluated. The results showed that the Kombucha extracts has dose-dependent wound contraction effects. Bayat et al. (2009) in Iran investigated the oral Kombucha tea on cutaneous wounds mast cells in rat, and the obtained results indicated that the total mast cells count decreased in tested group on 7-15th days .
Our study suggested that the promotion of wound healing, whereas the difference with other studies is in the healing effectiveness of Kombucha which was compared with the control, received no treatment, group. For this, its healing effects were more obvious and considered to be faster. However, in this study due to comparison with Nitrofurazone healing effects, ascertained that such sort of fungus healing effects was approximately similar to Nitrofurazone ointment. Therefore, Kombucha should be considered as potential primary therapy in the emergency department. However, further studies are indicated in this important area of wound healing research to evaluate the clinical efficacy of these agents and to search for the mechanisms that explain their effects.

Las Vegas’ CityCenter Project Facing Collapse?
The very survival hangs in the balance for Las Vegas’ largest employer and the city’s largest construction project- and arguably one of the world’s largest and most expensive buildings. MGM Mirage, operating nine Las Vegas Strip resorts and employing more than 61,000 workers, is now embroiled in a contentious lawsuit over the $9.1 billion, 76-acre CityCenter development with its half-shared partner, Dubai World through its Infinity World financial subsidiary.
Analysts said the lawsuit filed Sunday casts a damaging dark cloud over the project and sends more negative signals on the overall financial health of MGM Mirage. According to the lawsuit, Dubai World, a 50-50 joint venture partner in the CityCenter project, is seeking unspecified damages and wants to be relieved of its obligation under the companies’ agreement, which was struck in August 2007.
Dubai World, a world-leading business conglomerate suffering from a two-thirds drop in their oil prices – leading some to question if the lawsuit is merely trying to sever their joint venture agreement or simply gain more project control – said MGM Mirage, which is CityCenter’s managing partner, is responsible for mismanagement and cost overruns with the project. Dubai World further contends that statements by the MGM Mirage in the company’s financial filings last week with the Securities and Exchange Commission constitute a breach of the joint-venture pact and has put the project at risk.
The lawsuit took the MGM Mirage reportedly by surprise, but theirspokespeople responded vehemently yesterday that they are doing everything they can do and are ready, willing, and more than able to meet all financial obligations and debt holder payments.
Despite the lawsuit, CityCenter still plans to open in stages, starting in October with Vdara, a nongaming condominium and hotel tower, and Aria, CityCenter’s centerpiece 4,004-room hotel-casino, scheduled to open on December 16.
MGM Mirage continues to accept job applications, having over 90,000 job applications for the CityCenter project and planning to hire 10,000 employees to boost the staganant Las Vegas economy.
However, MGM Mirage and Dubai World are still seeking the remaining $1.2 billion in financing to finish the project.
MGM Mirage received from its lenders last week a two-month waiver to avoid violating its loan covenants. Some financial analysts believe that MGM Mirage might have to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure their $13.5 billion in debt. | 2019-04-26T14:12:56 | https://vbablogger.com/tag/unemployment/ |

Did you notice my new candle?
Looks expensive, hua! Nope. It’s a WalMart candle that I added vinyl to cut from my Silhouette Machine!
I found this cute letter and square around the letter at the Silhouette store. I just downloaded it and cut it out. It took me about 5 seconds. And it’s darling and looks like I bought it at some overpriced upscale store.
I also found a flourish at their store and added it to these two candles on my fireplace.
To make the flourish opposite on each candle I easily just flipped the image while in the Silhouette software and then cut them both out.
Can you burn the candle with the vinyl on it? Or would be better to do the same thing with paper if you want to burn the candle?
LOVE it! I do the same thing! You could make a sleeve for the candle (like on a Starbucks cup) if you wanted to be able to remove it for burning. Dang, girl! How’d you get to be so smart?
I am dying for this machine. Love the flourish candles!
I love the monogram on the candle.
OoOoOohhh! So pretty, Allison! If I keep coming over here, my DIY list is never going to be caught up! lol I love your creativity!
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR CANDLES!!! They are just GORGEOUS! Definitely a Luxurious look! Thank you for sharing!
I love your monogram and the flourishes on your candles! I have the exact same Wal-mart candle–you’ve inspired me to fancy it up, thanks!
I have a new Silhouette and am still learning how to use it and see the possibilities. I’m LOVING your candles!
What a great way to spiff up some plain candles. I have some candles that need this exact thing to help them out.
What an awesome idea! I’m going to try that out. Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea, especially with the wedding season coming up – a bride would love her new monogram on a candle!
Okay, Allison…Call me a dork, but how do you get the cut outs to stick? Am I missing something? Obviously, I don’t have a Silhouette machine, but I’m familiar with the Cricut. What’s yer secret??
I’m with Karilee… is there a special kind of candle this works on? I tried sticking a test piece to a candle I had laying around and it wouldn’t even stick to the candle long enough to come off of the transfer tape.
I would love to make these for teacher gifts this year!
Hey everyone! Some have asked how to get the vinyl to stick to the candles. I used a good quality vinyl and I had to really work slowly peeling the vinyl off the transfer paper. I would hold the vinyl to the candle as I slowly peeled off the transfer paper. Vinyl doesn’t like to stick to wax, so you just have to take it slow and keep holding the vinyl down on the candle until all the transfer paper is removed. I hope this helps!
The vinyl will stick, but you have to be very careful when putting it on. It wants to slip around. I very carefully applied it, and to this day it hasn’t fallen off. Yes, it will slide around if I man-handle it, but since it just sits there looking petty I haven’t had any problems with it at all. Also, if you are wanting to do a really simple pattern I’ve found that electrical tape is awesome on candles. You can do all sorts of crazy stripes and zig zags with it.
You might try heating the wax with a heat gun after application. I have done tissue paper this way. On tissue paper it “bleeds” into the paper, making it a part of the candle, but that might help to seal it on a bit…..Let me know if you try it and it works.
Also, if you’re using craft vinyl that would be the wall removable type. Perhaps the sign vinyl which has a much more aggressive adhesive would work better. It’s harder to locate and purchase though. I know some sign shops will let you have “scraps” for free or for a small price. Good luck!
I’m late to the game here, but maybe this will help those of you who are having trouble attaching vinyl to candles. I apply my vinyl to a vellum sleeve that I wrap around the candle and secure with Scotch Magic (invisible) Tape. The vellum shows a tiny bit, but it doesn’t bother me and solves the problem. I change out my vellum sleeves with the seasons and holidays. I’m quite pleased with the results.
for those of you who want to burn your fancy candles ( ie vinyl embellished etc, but don’t want to mess up the outer walls, you can start off burning your pillar for only a short time then extinguish the flame and let it cool. Repeat often for only a short time and then blow it out letting your melted wax in the center slowly evaporate with each burning and you will begin to see a little “well” developing in the center of your pillar candle. After a while the little well invention will have developed until it is deep enough that you can then place either a standard tea light ( even matching the color, leaving in its metal holder too) or you can add a better led tea light into the indenting. Then you can either burn the tea light, or the led candle and the outer walls of your pretty candle retains its shape and lovely embellished design! I have done this for many many years and it works like a charm! It may take you a few times of burning your new candle down a bit to get the depth reduced in the center to hold and hide your little secret candle but it works every time! If you use wax tea lights just throw away the remaining metal holder and insert the next one! You still have the lovely glow of candlelight but your decorative candle will last forever! I have even Mod Podged pretty cards etc., to the outer side of my candles then added a top coat of MP over and used this technique for years as a decorative candle accessoriy. Just watch your candle closely when you first begin the process, making sure there isn’t a vent blowing on the flame so that it burns evenly and level and don’t let it burn so long that it begins to overflow down the side. Just a little while, blow it out and later after it has hardened up you can light it again. I used to sell lots and lots of candles as a Home Interiors displayer years ago and learned this valuable trick!
Silhouette but any would work. Michaels Crafts has a ton of vinyl.
I can not get Oracal to stick and it is 651…the outdoor type. I have to get these made somehow as I need them for a church function in a week. Can anyone share any ideas besides the vellum… Since they will be sold at the church making it and having it slippery is not good. This is lovely!
I’d look into a thick premium vinyl. | 2019-04-18T20:21:18 | https://www.houseofhepworths.com/2011/02/24/silhouette-deal-vinyl-candles/ |
We live in a plastic world. Over the last 1/2 century, the proportion of our food and beverages that are consumed out of plastic containers has skyrocketed. Unfortunately, the concentrations of plastic-related chemicals in people around the world, even in remote corners, has gone up in parallel.
I’ve written about avoiding plastic before, but the case grows stronger. There are many toxic chemicals in plastic, but one of the most common and frightening is something called “BPA”, short for bisphenol-A. The NY Times ran a story today on it that you can read here entitled “In Feast of Data on BPA Plastic, No Final Answer”. It’s a good article, but the title is too neutral.
There is a compelling case against the use of BPA for everyday foods and drinks. It is water soluble and rapidly moves out of plastic and into foods and drinks. From all evidence, it is a remarkably potent, biologically active chemical that has negative effects on many different tissues and cells in our bodies.
It enhances cancer cell growth. It may cause infertility. It is associated with increased risk of many diseases including Diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
Why believe me? You don’t have to. Just Google ‘BPA’ and you’ll come up with millions of websites about its problems. Also you can read the Sigma MSDS (materials safety data sheet) for BPA here. Doesn’t sound like something I want to eat or drink, how about you? The MSDS says when BPA is used in the lab, you should wear a respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and other protective clothing. If you spill the stuff, you should use the above mentioned safety equipment but now also heavy rubber gloves and rubber boots. Yet, we eat and drink the stuff when we eat or drink out of a plastic container. Wow, frightening. Read the toxicology report on pages 4-9. It is true that the levels of BPA given to the test animals were large, but the effects were nasty and other studies suggest the levels of BPA in our bodies simply from drinking and eating out of plastic containers is high enough to be active.
The only reason corporations use BPA plastic is to make money. There is no reason you should eat and drinks things out of containers made with BPA plastic. You have nothing to gain from exposing yourself to this toxic chemical.
There are simple ways to avoid it. Fortunately almost 100% of plastic containers are stamped with a recycling symbol on the bottom. Flip them over. If there is a 3, 6, or 7 on the bottom, you should not be consuming any food or drink out of that container. If there is a 1 on the bottom, you should avoid eating or drinking out of that container. They are designed for one time use. Unfortunately, 1, 3, 6, and 7 plastic are in almost all water bottles. Any very clear, hard plastic is likely a ‘7’ even if there is no stamp on the bottom and therefore has bucket loads of BPA in it.
You probably know not to leave these plastic bottles in your car so they do not get heated up, but unfortunately they are heated up during the manufacturing process and in delivery trucks. Thus, the water in a “brand new” plastic water bottle is already contaminated with BPA.
The FDA is heading towards more restrictions on the use of BPA and other plastic-related chemicals. I predict that in the next 2-3 years, the use of BPA plastic for foods and drinks will be severely restricted or banned completely in the U.S. and the E.U..
Why wait several years to stop using plastic containing BPA or other nasty chemicals such as styrenes?
There is no good reason to wait. Time to start phasing them out of your life today. | 2019-04-21T22:01:01 | https://ipscell.com/2010/09/keep-your-stem-cells-away-from-bpa/ |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxVUQxMaNew is a brilliant insight as to ornamentation in the late 18th century. To what extent would this have been current in Handel's day some years before?
Is anyone familiar with the Handel Organ Concertos who could possibly assist with appropriate suggestions of the registration of this instrument with which to make a new recording?
We normally associate organ music with the church, and with large, powerful instruments which produce a thrilling variety of sounds. But Handel's organ concertos were actually composed for the Theatre, and were intended for small, portable English organs which had a light, delicate tone, and were provided with just a handful of stops, but no pedals. Handel's concertos were deliberately popular in character, and were designed to entertain audiences during the intervals of his choral works and oratorios.
Handel's improvisation did not stop with the introductory "voluntary movement". In later life, after he had become blind, he tended to avoid playing his earlier concertos from memory, and according to one eyewitnhess he chose instead to 'trust to his inventive powers... giving the band only the skeleton, or ritornels of each movement, he played all of the solo part extempore, while the other instruments left him, ad libitum, waiting for the signal of a shake, befrore they played such fragments of music as they found in their books.
continuation of ideas suggested by the composer. Thus no two performances of the concerto should ever sound exactly the same, especially since the third movement is left entirely to the discretion of the performer.
With a repertoire of 60 items spread across 16 rolls drawn from opera, popular and sacred music as well as two of Handel's concertos the instrument is a unique insight into 18th century performance style.
that is most impressive ! There can't be may ways to know what was being played in the 18th Century, but this seems to be one of them !
A couple of weeks ago Rowan Williams from Gloucester 6th Form College came to see research historic performance times of known repertoire and we were able to do some recordings. With sight of a score we were able to register the instrument to make some sense of the music in places.

We were about to enter the field as first-time, independent missionaries. Though I wasn’t a member of Wycliffe, they had graciously let me join their orientation seminar for new members. One morning session was all I had time for. Four weeks later, we were off to Japan. Right away, my husband, SH, plunged into teaching English and preaching at a bilingual church in Chiba—and into depression and despair.
At the time, we were hardly aware of the extensive preparation some mission organizations require of their missionaries. We simply accepted a direct invitation from the church in Chiba (which SH had volunteered at for a one-month mission trip several years before). The pastor had been scouting for English teachers to replace their retiring missionaries and heard SH was applying for English-teaching jobs in Japan.
Looking back, I wonder how different our first six months might have been if we had entered missions with an organization. I think we’d have been better prepared in five major areas—general readiness, language and cultural training, finances, member care, and goals. Here’s what we faced and how we’ve coped.
Mission boards have thorough vetting processes, don’t they? Well, I would’ve been the first to disqualify myself. Unlike SH, I didn’t want to be a missionary or work with churches or teach English. I wasn’t passionate about people or spreading the gospel.
After months of uncertainty, I agreed to “try Japan out.” But instead of teaching English, I wanted to continue my freelance work in editing and writing. So, we drafted an agreement, outlining the roles SH and I would play. Without an intermediary, we had to be assertive and negotiate directly with the Japanese church. But it enabled us to focus on work we enjoy and are good at.
Ready or not, here I am. Inadvertently, I am expected to do the work of a missionary. Instead of lingering on my lack of interest or adequacy, I choose to see this as an opportunity to grow. If I lack a heart for the gospel, then being here forces me to ask why. A good hard look at myself reveals that I accept the gospel but haven’t understood it emotionally. Not quite. Perhaps I’m in Japan to “relearn” the gospel as much as to share it.
We arrived with only beginner to intermediate levels of Japanese. Yet we weren’t expected to learn much Japanese by our host church because our missionary predecessors there hadn’t. Naturally, I had a meltdown after trying to pay the rent at an ATM. How dare the ATM expect me to read kanji!
But a bigger stressor was culture. We had little experience serving in a Japanese church. Despite the church’s overflowing hospitality to us—which continues even now—cultural stress floored SH with monthly bouts of illness. Our limited Japanese made it hard to discuss expectations and feelings.
Thankfully, SH has a habit of asking for help. When he was unsure how best to word things in a delicate situation, he’d text a Japanese friend back in Malaysia. Before leaving Malaysia, he asked friends for Japanese Christian contacts. He kept in touch with church mentors before and after arriving in Japan. Over the months, God surrounded us with wise, caring friends who helped with different problems. He also sent us three language tutors.
On top of attending cross-cultural and language training, members of missionary organizations like OMF are required to have financial support promised in advance for an entire term (usually four years).
In contrast, we came as tentmakers with unstable wages that couldn’t ensure long-term survival. Apart from work—teaching, preaching, editing, writing, and cleaning—we depend on spontaneous donations to cover 30% of our monthly needs. Despite being able to quote Jesus’s words about not worrying about how our needs will be met (Matthew 6:25–34), we often worry about the months ahead.
I could easily succumb to a diet of instant noodles, given a history of previous addiction to these dubious stress-relievers. But the Wycliffe trainer had warned, “Do not be too frugal. Take care of your health.” So, we choose to eat well and have a social life.
Every month is unpredictable, but God has provided abundantly for us so far. We’re also becoming less ashamed of telling people about our financial needs. We share at our two home churches in Malaysia (by Skyping into their prayer meetings and scheduling an annual visit), contact old Christian friends to catch up, and dispatch a monthly newsletter that keeps us on the radar of serious supporters.
We dispelled cabin fever by visiting a half-Japanese, half-Malaysian lady in her gigantic house in rural Chiba. Her advice? “Don’t ganbaru (try your best) so much. And don’t try to be Japanese.” It’s my favorite mantra these days: don’t try your best.
She replied, “See what you’ve managed to accomplish so far! Setting up home, learning the language, getting along well with people . . .” I only saw what I hadn’t accomplished, while Mum’s perspective as an outsider was more balanced.
SH began seeing a counselor to sort through his struggles. He felt better after examining his expectations and setting better priorities for our first year of adjustment.
We also picked up Japan Harvest and were shocked to discover the existence of other missionaries in Japan. We forged a formal connection with OMF, another shot of morale. That helped disperse our cloud of gloomy isolation.
A fellow independent missionary heard of our struggles in Japan and shared about her own despair. She wanted to end her life. So, we wrote and called and prayed. I’m grateful we could empathize and be friends. This doesn’t quite answer the question “Why are we here?” Yet it does, too. Despite our muddling, God has allowed us to be useful.
I trust that at least God knows what he’s doing. Meanwhile, we do our best to love the people who come our way, lean on our support network, and look forward to what God will teach us. So far, he’s taught us this: at every juncture, we need him and the people he sends. We may be independent, but we should never be self-reliant.

The MSCI Europe was off 4.44% in September on the back of weak data out of China, falling EM currencies and the Fed’s decision to leave rates unchanged. Meanwhile, the ECB said its QE programme could be adjusted ‘in size, composition and duration’, as it downgraded its inflation forecast.
The bond markets also saw investors turn risk averse, as the German 10year fell to 0.59% from 0.80% and 10year treasuries to 2.04% from 2.22%. Brent fell 12.1% to $49.05, while gold fell to $1,114.
The fund outperformed its benchmark by 3% in September. This was due to the Fund’s lack of exposure to cyclicals as the markets sought safety in the more defensive sectors. The top contributors to performance were RELX, Beiersdorf and Imperial Tobacco. The biggest detractors were Shire, Cerved and Bayer. New positions were established in Anheuser-Busch and Philip Morris, while positions in Fagron and Michael Page were closed.

Discussion in 'Community Announcements' started by Philpug, Nov 15, 2018.
Tricia, the staff, and I try to be creative with new offerings for our donation drives. This year we have added Govino glasses, Gogglesocs, and a new cap to the already well-received ski straps. If you haven't used a Govino glass yet, you are in for a treat. These premium shatterproof and BPA-free glasses are have a great feel and will help us all stay green by minimizing single-use plastic drinking containers. The Gogglesoc is the design chosen by the community this past fall; again, we thank @Dave Petersen for his work here. The cap is new for this drive; it has a structured front and a slightly larger fit.
Going into our fourth year, our advertising partners are still growing, but so is the traffic -- and hence our operating costs. Your contributions are still very important to running the site, and we feel that the best way to thank you is with these logo products of the highest quality.
We hope you like the new offerings and continue to #plugthepug.
Go whiskey, go bourbon, go anywhere.
Award-winning Govino reflects the color and projects the aromatics of all types of whiskies, bourbons, and ryes, as well as all other spirits and cocktails. It’s a brilliant solution for indoor and outdoor entertaining, providing function and convenience without sacrificing elegance. Pugski invites you to join us in eliminating the waste caused by single-use plastic, one Govino at a time.
Fed up with scratching and scuffing their expensive goggle lenses, the Gogglesoc cofounders decided to develop a solution. They decided that by combining function with fashion in a sustainable way, they could bring something truly useful and truly desirable to skiers and snowboarders everywhere.
An innovative replacement to a goggle bag, the Gogglesoc is a stretchy microfiber cover made from recycled plastic bottles. It is designed to be worn when your goggles are not in use, and we are offering to you a Pugski community design.

I did my donation but never got a comment box to put my address and choice in? I think you have my address and my choice is Govino glasses. Let me know if you need anything else.
Shipping to Canada is a hassle and we currently have a rotating Postal strike, so I will wait until the Big Sky Gathering to make my donation swag.
@DanoT supplies are limited, order now and we will bring it to The Gathering.
DanoT, Tricia and Philpug like this.
Support the cause! Seriously folks, please consider any amount. I know Trish and Phil greatly appreciate it.
Looking forward to the googlesocs!
Phil, you should have my address as well and I'd like the glasses. I have last year's cap.
I wanted to make another comment about the Govino glasses.
We were first exposed to Govino at the Sonoma Music Festival a few years ago when they had wine tastings with Govino wine glasses. It was at that time we found out that GOVINO is the first and only unbreakable wine glass embraced by leading sommeliers.
Imagine our excitement when we found Govino rocks glasses shortly after our visit to Sonoma!!
I'm really excited about all the new quality additions to the donation drive this year, especially the Gogglesocs and Govino Whiskey glass.
The new Pugski cap is a little different than the past hats, fitting a little bigger head and a bit more solid front face.
@Andy Mink can speak to its fit.

The Govino glasses are DOPE!
I didn’t get the message box either. I’ll take the the rocks glasses.
Does my annual donation paid a couple weeks ago count? Need those glasses for proper hydration.
We're still waiting for the bourbon.
But yeah, we'll send the package with the glasses.
You want the Southern Rye in the “single serve” bottles again? Christmas is coming - I’ll take care of it before your holiday binge drinking begins.
I have a Govino wine glass from one of the wineries I visited in Sonoma this summer as well and really like it.
Do you have size info on the glasses? Is this a small whiskey-only rocks glass, or say a 12oz rocks glass suitable for mixed drinks? Donation coming either way, just curious.
BTW I feel the need to say that while I've been a member since near the beginning I've been inactive the last couples - went back to school, so suffering from a serious lack of time (and lack of skiing)! Very happy to see pugski going strong!
Is this a small whiskey-only rocks glass, or say a 12oz rocks glass suitable for mixed drinks?
8oz to the top of the logo, 10oz comfortably.

If you’ve ever hopped on BART in downtown Walnut Creek, you’ve probably seen the towering, 10-story office buildings just across the street from the North parking lot (if the train was headed towards the Pleasant Hill station). It has recently gotten a makeover, including state-of-the-art conference facilities, residential units and an outdoor area with bocce ball courts.
Also part of the makeover is a brilliant art installation, which paints a beautiful picture of Mt. Diablo across multiple fans against a wall. I call them “fans,” though I’m not sure exactly what the structure is, what kinds of materials were used, or who created it! Information is sparse.
What I do know, though, is this is an amazing upgrade to a space that was very 1970s outdated. I’m excited to see what other changes they will add to the building to spruce up the Walnut Creek BART area. It seems like good timing, with all the changes going on around and in the Bart area that destined to become a little village. Just on Riviera the back road to WC Bart and where my office is located, are 3 new condo complexes being built (a future blog), not to mention the large apartment complex across from Bart on Ygnacio. | 2019-04-24T23:04:23 | http://walnutcreeklifestyle.com/tag/california-plaza/ |

In this episode, we dive into the foolscap method in story grid. It’s taking the entire book and putting it on one piece of paper. It’s a pretty cool exercise especially coming out of all of the really micro, looking at each individual scene, what’s going on in each scene and things that I can fix in each scene that I’ve been doing for the past couple of weeks.
And now it’s able to step back and look at the story as a whole. I finished filling out the foolscap and in this episode, Shawn and I dive in and start working through each piece. It’s a really useful tool as you edit your first draft and I think you’re really going to get a lot out of this episode.
[0:01:06.5] TG: Shawn, a few weeks ago, I finished the first draft of the novel and now we’ve entered into trying to figure out how to edit this first draft because this is what I’ve realized with story grid is this is where it shines apart from other methodology. There’s save the cat and there’s story and there’s other people teaching methodologies for writing which you know, all have their merits, none of them were bad but what I realized is, they all get you to a first draft but they don’t help you get past the first draft.
Where, as we’ve started going through this, applying the story grid to a now an actual manuscript instead of a work in progress, it’s helping me see things in such a different light. Anyway, the first thing you had me do was go scene by scene and put it in to the story grid spreadsheet and fill out the first five or six columns and then create a long grain storm to do list of things I thought — I’ve even added a couple of more over the past week as I’ve thought about it. My wife has started reading it. She’s giving me some feedback too, that’s been good. Then this last week, you had me now move to — instead of going scene by scene, kind of looking at the book as a whole and do the story grid foolscap sheet where you put the whole book on one page. That’s what I did.
I just went ahead and added it to the same Google spreadsheet. I’ll link to it again in the notes and I even made it yellow with all the lines exactly the same like blue and red just so on a foolscap and I was doing that when I kept getting stuck and I didn’t know what to do. I would fiddle with that for a few minutes and then try to finish it and then fiddle with it.
Anyway, I put it all in there and I definitely hit some places I wasn’t — I had a really hard time with the external, internal charge of the different pieces and you know, I’m not 100% on if I got — yeah, I don’t know if I put in there what you were looking for but it’s all there.
[0:03:21.7] SC: Okay. Just one comment about what you said at the beginning and that is, you have to remember where the story grid came from. It came from a guy who is trying to do a job and the job that I had to do was to make books that my publishing company acquired better.
The way I could do that was to create a systematic way of analyzing the stories so that I can communicate properly with the writers who had written hem. That’s really why it’s so practical is because I couldn’t talk in very global terms with writers, they wanted me to tell them, what do you need me to do so that I can get my delivery and acceptance check?
Because they wanted the money, rightfully so, they had written a book, part of their advance payment was a very big payment on delivery and acceptance of the manuscript from the publisher. What that means is that an editor puts them through all this paces and finally when the editor’s happy, he puts through the check with the accounting department. As the editor, I would get in trouble if I accepted a manuscript before it was ready because guess what would happen?
The writer wouldn’t want to do any work, we’d already accepted it and that basically meant we had to publish it. You know, it had a very, there was a very — the elephant in the room and the relationship was that, if they didn’t do what I told them to do, I could essentially fire them and force them to give back their advance to the publisher.
They were very motivated to do what I ask them to do. From my point of view, the way I could help them would be to be as specific as possible so that I could say to them, well you don’t have the conventions and obligatory scenes of your chosen genre. You’ve got two thirds of them. Here are the ones that you don’t have and I would say, you don’t have the speech and praise of the villain, you don’t have — you’re not red herrings, et cetera.
When I explained it to them like that, they’d go, you know what? You’re right, I can fix that. What’s next? That was how the story grid evolved and it was always a wonderful way of avoiding a lot of negative atmosphere between two people. Anyway, I think the people — I forget the guy who wrote save the cat but Robert McKee and all the other great craftsman of story who know it so well, they were put in a position where they had to make it so practical that somebody would be able to do the thing and then they could get their money.
That’s why the story grid is so valuable to me and to other people is because it was built by necessity to be specific. Yeah, I think it’s a great idea to keep going through your foolscap global story grid and the fact that you had some questions and you were unsure of things and you know, that’s good.
It means that you’re thinking about it and if you’re unsure of something, that means that either you didn’t make the choice necessary that you were required to make or the choice that you made at the time was incorrect or it also means that maybe you didn’t make a choice at all.
[0:07:01.5] TG: It’s not that there’s something wrong with your story grid method? It has to be something wrong with my book?
[0:07:08.5] SC: Well, we can test it. Let’s see, I always say that, I’m willing to put it, put the entire thing under another test and we’ll figure it out by the end of the call whether or not I was right or you were right.
Now, from what I remember, we left off last time by — we went through the obligatory scenes and conventions of the thriller right?
[0:07:34.4] TG: That’s correct. We have the point of view, objects of desire and controlling idea theme left in the global story at the top part of the page.
[0:07:43.7] SC: Right. The point of view is pretty easy, it’s in third person and then at one point, it shifts into free indirect style and that’s what about midpoint of the novel?
[0:07:57.0] TG: Yeah, I think it’s after she meets with Randy so right in the middle.
[0:08:02.1] SC: So the only question that arises now is will that work? Is that a viable approach to the point of view and the answer that I always give when that question arises is does it work? Is it so blatantly ridiculous that you shift from third person to free indirect style that the reader is going to be thrown out of their chair and they’ll be completely thrown out of the experience? And in my estimation I don’t think they will.
[0:08:39.6] TG: Yeah because when we went over the very first scene that I switched to at you didn’t even noticed it. We had talked about that and then the only other switch that I would talk about is it’s the entire beginning hook and middle build of the book is from Jessie’s point of view and then the first scene of the ending payoff is from Randy’s point of view.
[0:09:03.7] TG: And then it even jumps around until Jessie wakes back up and then it’s all from Jessie’s point of view again.
[0:09:09.6] SC: Well I think that has to be, there has to be a foundation put in place to make that absolutely workable and I’ll just get into it now. One of the ways that you can solve this kind of problem is to even go to a higher level of a storytelling point of view and what I mean by that is, if the master storyteller, the very omniscient narrator makes a choice in that, you have two points of view in the story but he lets somebody dominate for a long time and then bring it back, I think it would work.
And so what I’m basically saying is, you may want to start your novel with a prologue and the prologue would be from Randy’s point of view but you would not tell the reader that, it would probably be the flashback scene that’s the inciting moment of everything and that scene in my head is when Randy and Jessie are hanging out together and she’s a very young girl and he is probably 12 and she is maybe whatever she would be, what would she be six, seven, five?
[0:10:42.3] TG: I can’t remember, I’d have to do the math.
[0:10:44.6] SC: Right, so that’s the other thing you also have to clarify is the age difference between the two etcetera, etcetera but my point is that, that prologue would be the moment when Randy discovers that Jessie is gifted and that Jessie is capable of recovering after being scrambled or whatever term you come up with that isn’t scrambled. So we refer to this moment in the ending payoff or just before the ending payoff in the novel when Randy is rushing to get her home because he thinks she’s dying or is dead and she wakes up.
So if you were to use that as your framing prologue from Randy’s point of view then when you shift to Randy’s point of view after she dies at the end of the middle build then you’re not cheating and that the grandmaster narrator which is sort of like this God-like presence has book ended the story. If you were to think of storytelling in terms of I think there is a scene in Star Wars where there’s this video game or something at the arcade and people go up and play it and they’re literary God.
They create this universes on a video platform and then destroy them, do you remember that scene? Or maybe I am thinking of something else.
[0:12:16.3] TG: In Star Wars?
[0:12:18.4] SC: It maybe the original Star Wars or maybe I’ve even thought of that in my own head and I put it on Star Wars, I don’t know but the idea is that you are essentially God and the storyteller, this is why everybody wants to tell stories because you play God and when you’re God it works as long as the reader understands that there is a higher presence above the story putting it on paper for them. So the God-like presence, if they’re telling the story and they’re opening with a prologue.
From the point of view of a character that we don’t even meet for 300 pages later that works but if we never have that prologue and you just pick up the point of view of another character without that sort of warning, then it seems like a deus ex machina which is when the storyteller just cheats. Deus ex machina means a God comes down, it’s from the Greek theater thousands and thousands of years ago where these great playwrights would write this stories and then they wouldn’t know how to figure out the third act.
So what they would do is they would bring down a God, Apollo or Dionysus or somebody would come down and say, “Let me solve this problem for you human beings. You go with her” blah-blah and that’s all fixed. So that’s called a deus ex machina where you bring down some other worldly presence to fix your story problems. So that’s what it could feel like when you don’t set it up but if you set it up with a really interesting prologue that is dreamlike and interesting and scary and all those things.
Then when the reader gets to that place where Randy’s point of view comes back, they go “Oh my gosh” at the very beginning of this novel, with the point of view of Randy the brother then that would work, does that make sense?
[0:14:31.9] SC: Okay, so let’s move on from point of view. The next thing are the objects of desire and just as a reminder, your objects of desire are what the character wants and what the character needs. What they want is their external object of desire and what they need is their internal object of desire. So what you have written down here is what Jessie wants is to go home and what she needs is the global truth that the world is full of grace and I think that’s pretty accurate.
What she wants to do is to stay in her familiar surroundings. She doesn’t want to challenge herself. She likes being sort of like the king, like the apprentice rat to the master, what’s that guy’s name Balem or whatever?
[0:15:36.7] SC: Okay, so if you established that she’s the artful dodger to Balem’s pagan, that’s from Oliver Twists, Dickens’s Oliver Twist, so she’s like the best pickpocket of Balem. So for her to leave that environment is threatening to her because she won’t see her parents anymore and she won’t be the chosen one anymore. She will be challenged in ways that she’s not really interested in being challenged. It’s like when you play a game with a little kid and all they want to do is win.
And when they get challenged, they’ll quit. They’ll quit the game, “I quit!” well you can’t quit. So she’s a child. So what she wants is to maintain her security and her feeling of wellbeing and what she needs is to grow up and to recognize that the world is riddled with paradoxes that are difficult to navigate. So this is accurate. You might want to clarify it and say, “Wants to maintain her supremacy and her environment” or whatever.
Wants to go home is a little bit vague. It’s accurate but home is a little bit home to one person is not home to another. So if you could be specific about why she feels secure in that environment, that would be helpful to you later on when you have to make choices about tweaking your scene. Needs the global truth that the world is full of grace, I think that’s solid. I think that’s good and paradox is a word that we can often get confused about.
A paradox is just an absurdity. It’s when you — what’s a good example of a paradox? I don’t really need to give one. I think everybody knows what’s a paradox is. It’s when you’re in a situation that seems ridiculous. It’s like going to the department of motor vehicles for nine hours just so they can take your picture and you could have taken it with your cellphone, that’s the paradox. It’s absurd. Okay, so the next thing on the foolscap is the controlling idea theme.
Now obviously this is the ghost in the machine of your story. This is the thing that you want if somebody said to you, “Well what is that book? Why did you write that book Tim? What did it mean to you?” this is the answer that you would give them and what you have written is “True family is not blood. It is those that are there for you in your toughest times and you must be willing to sacrifice everything for them” that’s pretty solid.
That’s a really interesting theme but technically, the controlling idea is an expression. It’s a formulated sentence so what you have to do is put in the value that’s at stake in the story and explain how it has changed. So in this case and in the traditional controlling idea, generic controlling idea for the thriller is that hero sacrificed themselves, tyranny, justice prevails when heroes sacrifice themselves for the good of everyone else.
So you will see that in a thriller, a crime thriller justice is the core value at stake. So in this case, the core value at stake is life and death and it’s also justice right? This is a dystopian world. This is a place where people are used as automatons in order to serve a minority group of people. So justice to Jessie is in democratizing the universe of these people who were locked in this virtual reality, ridiculous dopamine machines.
So the value at stake would be it could be tyranny falls or justice prevails or this could be a core maturation plot where what’s at stake is the world view of the character and what you have here is a really nice mix. So what I would suggest is you do something like justice prevails when heroes recognize the values and I am just winging it here. So don’t feel like I’ve spent nine hours figuring this out. This isn’t a declaration from an all-knowing figure, not even close.
So justice prevails when heroes recognize true family and to sacrifice for that true family. So what she is required to do is to recognize that her brother is not her real family. Not only that but to support those who are, that’s the core of the story and so until she makes that choice and she makes that action, the story is not done. So justice prevails when heroes recognize their true family and act accordingly or something like that. Do you see what I’m getting at here?
[0:21:33.9] TG: Yes. Yeah so I am just making a list.
[0:21:36.2] SC: So basically what you want to do especially for a genre mix like this is you want to take both of your very, very strongly expressed genres and combine them in your controlling idea theme so that justice prevails. That says this is a story that has a central crime in it which is a very big part of the thriller. Go ahead.
[0:22:07.9] TG: And so the reason why getting this right is so important is this is the question I’ll be asking as I go back through each of my scenes is it being true to this theme.
[0:22:21.1] SC: Exactly and also this is the grand test, did you pull this off? Did you make this clear in your story? If somebody were to read your novel would they walk away saying, would they start to think about their own family? They’ll say, “Oh my brother is like Randy, he would sell me down the river for whatever is good for him but you know who’s really, really great is that woman I married. She would never do that to me” because that’s a pretty great message to give to people.
It’s like don’t just judge people based upon genetics and blood value. In fact that’s a grand mistake, that’s what immature people do right? So even though somebody maybe 48 years old and say they read your novel, they’re probably immature in some ways. So this is what this part does and this is why stories are so important. If you are able to captivate that 48 year old male reader who is reading a book, like I read The Hunger Games and I got a lot out of it.
I thought it was terrific so it’s not like 48 year old men don’t read young adult thrillers, they do when they’re really good. I heard that The Hunger Games was really good so I read it. I paid my own money for it. I do that all the time, I’m sure you do too. So say if your 48 year old men reads your novel and he walks away with it and says, “You know what? I’m done. I’m done with my sister. I’m done with the way she treats me. The way she treats me is not good for me”.
Or “You know what? I’m really lucky that my blood family is actually my real family too” so this is what stories do. They get into our subconscious and they have us reflect about our own lives. So the controlling idea theme is really important because if you are evaluating your story to see if you are controlling idea theme is clear and if each unit of your story, each scene builds to that moment of revelation where Jessie understands that her brother is the bad guy then it’s going to work.
[0:24:58.2] TG: And so when we say the internal value at stake is naivety masters sophistication all the way down to maturation then that applies to the controlling idea. So what I need to be doing is making sure I am moving her from naivety masters sophistication to naivety to uncertainty to maturation in the storyline of her interaction with her family.
[0:25:30.3] TG: Okay. So I am even thinking of like if I need to mask it into sophistication then I need her to like I can go back to those first few scenes and really make her steadfast in the face of all evidence of the contrary that her dad is going to stand up for her.
[0:25:52.2] SC: That’s correct and when her mother when push really comes to shove.
[0:25:56.0] TG: Really does love her.
[0:25:56.8] SC: Yeah, that’s exactly right and there you go, there is a huge note, a huge revelation that you came to just by going through your foolscap page and we’re not even a third of the way through, right? And it’s exciting because now you’re like, “Oh my gosh now I know what I have to do because the ultimate story grid is when you track these values from scene to scene and subjectively, I think it’s actually objective but when you plot the points on where the character is.
In terms of both of those values and the life and death value where are they? On the maturation value, where are they? And then you connect those dots and what you see at the end are the rises, the peaks and valleys of the story and if you’re really doing a great job those peaks and valleys mirror the peaks and valleys that Kurt Vonnegut talks about, there’s only six stories. So you would have man in a hole, man in a hole, Cinderella tragedy.
That’s the universal story that really attracts the biggest audience. I just jumped ahead to seven weeks from now so don’t freak out.
[0:27:25.3] SC: But it is really important to understand these valued and not just say to yourself, “Well I know where she is on the value spectrum” that’s not enough. You actually have to prove it in the scene. So what you are talking about just five seconds ago is going back and looking at those early scenes and saying, “I need to really amp up her steadfast dedication to her father and her mother and her brother and Balem and all those things that give her a sense of sophistication”.
Sophistication means knowing and believing that your world view is righteous and that you see through the chaotic universe. You’re sophisticated, you’re not just fumbling around like a marble in a pinball machine, you are sophisticated.
[0:28:24.5] TG: Yeah and so when we’ve talked about Pride and Prejudice how Elizabeth Bennett in the beginning felt like she knew where she stood and that all rich people were jerks and her family was good and the first step was for her to actually start questioning that.
[0:28:45.8] TG: Right so in these first ones, I’ve got to amp that up and then I probably need to add some stuff early in the middle build where she starts questioning that for the first time.
[0:28:58.4] TG: Okay so that’s when she moves into uncertainty.
[0:29:03.5] SC: How did Jane Austen solve that problem? How did she bring the sophistication? Naivety has masked sophistication, how did she make that and bring that to a head? Do you remember?
[0:29:16.4] TG: I’m cheating, I have the foolscap for Pride and Prejudice right here in front of me. So ask me the question again.
[0:29:28.0] SC: Okay, I’ll just give a little thing here. Jane Austen had to solve a problem. The problem was how does she make Elizabeth face facts? How does she make Elizabeth start to doubt her world view?
[0:29:44.1] TG: Was it when her mom acted like a fool at the party?
[0:29:48.1] TG: Ah I’ll let you talk now.
[0:29:50.2] SC: I’ve got to say that it’s in the middle build. It’s when Darcy gives her he’s letter. After Elizabeth screams at Darcy, tells him he’s a jerk, he’s the last man on earth she would marry, how dare he think that she would ever fall for him just because he’s rich. He’s a jerk, the way he behaves is the worst and by the way, you ruined my friend’s life by not giving him directory at your house and blah-blah-blah. So Darcy goes home and he writes her a letter.
He writes one of the best letters in literary history and he basically in the kindest way says, “You young lady are an idiot. That is not the case. You are not looking at this clearly. The fact is, I live at a higher level than you do. That’s just fact sweetheart and your family are a bunch of — they made fools of themselves at Bingley’s party” so he basically lays it out for her that the way she looks at the world is really off kilter and in the novel, she doesn’t have an immediate change of heart.
She screams and yells about the letter, hates him for it and then she actually uses, Jane Austen uses two chapters, two scenes for her to metabolize this letter. So she solved that problem by having this very dramatic moment, very active moment where Darcy proposes to Elizabeth and then she rejects him and then she is thrown into a real uncertainty about her world view by the end of that. So that’s the way she pushed Elizabeth Bennett from naivety masked by sophistication into uncertainty, deep uncertainty.
So anyway that’s what you have to think about, at what moment in your story are you going to have Jessie feel that deep uncertainty about her world view? First you have to establish her world view in a much stronger way and that’s what you’re going to do later when you in seven weeks go back to start working scenes but after you established it by doing little tweaks in the language, I’m not talking major surgery here. This is just really adding details inside of your chipping away at your marble.
So that it’s more clear and then you’re going to come up with some idea where it really hits her in a moment and that moment for me and your novel was when she freaks out in the second severing and she panics because she can’t do it anymore. She’s not smart enough anymore, she has a real crisis of conscience, she doesn’t know what’s going to happen and who comes in to save her but the ghost of her brother. So she’s going to look at her brother as being the real family.
“Mom and dad aren’t really my real family, it’s my brother” and then she’s going to get that double whammy at the end of the middle build where she discovers her brother is even worse than mom and dad, you see how that’s working?
[0:33:29.3] SC: Okay, so controlling idea theme it’s always a nice place to reconfigure yourself if you get confused as a writer and it’s why Robert McKey always tells that great story about Paddy Chayefsky, that once he had his controlling idea and theme, he’d type it up and he’d glue it onto his typewriter. So everything that he wrote he would be looking at his controlling idea and theme and hopefully, what came out of his brain would be on theme but he never forgot it and he wrote some of the best satire Network.
I don’t know if you have ever seen that but Network the movie is 50 years ahead of its time, it’s just great. Okay so that big quarter of your foolscap page with the global story, this is something that you are going to come back to again and again and again. It’s a checklist and it’s important to really make sure that you keep honing in on all of those elements in it so that your book gets more and more clear. So the rest of the foolscap page is really about the big major moments in your story.
[0:35:05.0] TG: And when you say doing what it should be doing, what it should be doing?
[0:35:13.3] SC: Okay, well the beginning is supposed to hook right? The beginning is supposed to hook your reader in such a way that they want to turn off all internet connections and just stay with your story for the rest of the night. So the beginning is all about the hook, all about bringing the reader in, in such a way that they just have to finish your book. The build, the middle of your story, the build is about deeply complicating the story beyond the imagination of your reader.
Creating complications that the reader doesn’t see coming and resolving them in ways that are really outstanding and the middle build is all about reaching a level of intensity that it brings to your character into an all is lost moment. Your story hits an all is lost moment when it seems as if there is absolutely no possible way that your protagonist is going to get over this. They’re going to have to change their behavior, they’re going to have to change their tactics.
They’re going to have to look at the world in a new way because if they don’t, they’re going to die. In a thriller they die and they don’t just die, they face the fate worse than death which is damnation. So the middle build is all about building your story to the edge of a precipice and then the ending payoff is the moment when you pay off your hook and your build in a way that your character changes, the story changes in an innovative way that is surprising but inevitable. That’s it, that’s all you have to do.
[0:37:15.0] TG: Simple enough. Okay, so I had pulled up both the Pride and Prejudice foolscap and the Silence of the Lambs foolscap to give me — I can’t remember when we first talked about, it might have been when we went through The Martian and the Christmas Carol which was like 15 months ago and I was thinking at first that this was like a particular scene. That’s what’s in my head but then when I looked at those, you had several scenes mashed together to do the inciting incident.
So what am I looking at to find? Is it the inciting incident complication crisis, climax, resolution of the entire beginning hook? The first scene, the first sequence? What am I looking at when I am finding these moments?
[0:38:17.2] SC: That’s a really great question. What you’re looking at is the entire big chunk. So for the first 11 or 12 scenes of your novel, if you have to boil down those two or three or four sequences into one thing, what would that thing be? One thing meaning the five commandments, how would you characterize the entire act, not a scene. Now of course, you’re going to have a scene that is the inciting incident of your global story. So the inciting incident of your thing I think is pretty accurate where it says Jessie is caught stealing from the plugged in.
[0:39:02.5] TG: Well now that you say as you were saying, it’s for the entire beginning hook and this one’s actually for the entire story is the inciting incident really — as I am looking at it as a global story and as the entire act, would the inciting incident actually be when she got invited to the capital as oppose to when she got caught stealing? Because that’s the real crux of the matter. It’s not that she was stealing. It’s that they want her in the capital.
[0:39:52.1] TG: So really it’s when she says no?
[0:39:54.0] SC: It could be.
[0:39:55.1] TG: Or am I overthinking this?
[0:39:56.8] SC: Well I confess that I haven’t thought at the level that you have.
[0:40:06.2] SC: So, it’s not that you’re wrong, it’s that I am a little bit behind. So I have to think of that. The inciting incident of the global story could actually be if you were to put in that prologue, the moment when she survives scrambling when her brother discovers that she has a gift. So that can be the inciting incident because that’s the thing before that happens nobody cared about her really. She wasn’t on the radar screen of anybody.
So what an inciting incident is the moment the action or either a cause or coincidence that up ends the life of your lead character. So the inciting incident of your story is when third parties discover that Jessie can survive scrambling in the alternative reality and the first third party to understand that she can survive is who?
[0:41:13.5] SC: Randy right. So Randy discovers that she is special when she’s 12 years old. For a very, very long time nobody else knew that she was special until she started working with Balem and the other rats but she never got fully scrambled with Balem and the other rats, she was just a really good packer. So the inciting incident of her life is when she is discovered to have a gift. That up ends her life, she will never be the same after people know that she has a gift.
That guy would never come in and recruit her to go to the capital if he didn’t already know that she had a gift right?
[0:42:03.4] SC: And when she goes to the capital, all the other kids were like, “What’s with this kid skipping three years of this regimental training?” well she has a gift. Well what is the gift? We don’t know, she doesn’t know, that’s part of the mystery of this story. You want the reader to not really know what her gift is. You and I have been talking about this gift since the beginning of time and anybody who’s listened to this podcast knows what this gift is.
What’s up with that kid? Why does she get to come here? You could have Alex say that, “What’s with her? Why does she get to?” I don’t know. Well what do you think it is Jessie? “Hey, if I could tell you I would tell you” that’s what she would say. She doesn’t know what her gift is and that if you add stuff like that throughout the story, you’re getting honing more and more into the heroes journey because the heroes journey is all about a hero who doesn’t know what her gift is, right?
And it’s not until they’ve discovered that gift at the all is lost moment, we don’t know how gifted we are until we’re so far up against the wall that all we can do is change. When I was in collage I had to take organic chemistry. Now I was terrified of organic chemistry because it was the class that would wipe out 60% of the pre-med students in college. I knew that going in. Anybody who takes organic chemistry knows that. If you don’t pass organic chemistry, you can’t be a doctor.
So I was so terrified of that fact that I didn’t study, that I failed test after test after test and at college, there was this one great saving grace if you passed the final, all the other tests didn’t matter. If you get a better grade on the final then all of the quizzes and tests, your final grade stood as your final grade. Your final exam grade stood as your final exam. So what I did is I pushed myself subconsciously to my all is lost moment. Obviously I needed to put so much pressure on myself that I had to learn organic chemistry in reading period which is a two week period.
I had to learn 12 weeks to 13 weeks of instruction in two weeks by myself with a textbook instead of doing the homework and guess what? I did have the organic chemistry gift. I didn’t use it but I did pass the course but that I am not trying to say that this is a great thing about me but my point is that what we do is we avoid dealing with pressure and conflict until the moment where we can’t anymore. We either change or we fail so that’s what the hero’s journey is about.
It’s getting the hero to avoid facing the reality of their situation so long that they reach and all is lost moment when all they can do is summon something within them to rise and find a gift to get them through a problem.
[0:45:56.7] TG: So is it a problem that her gift is something she’s not in control of?
[0:46:02.6] SC: No, nobody is in control of their gifts. This is why guys take steroids in baseball. They can’t control their gift. Roger Clemens is one of the greatest pitchers of all time but he started to lose his fastball. He couldn’t control the gift and when somebody said to him allegedly, “If you take these steroids you can have your fastball back” I don’t think he did it for money. He did it because he could see his gift, the gift that he invested in his entire identity in starting to fade.
And so when somebody said, “I got this magic syringe that will give you your fastball back” he took it. So these guys who are taking steroids they’re not doing it to get — I’m sure some of them do it to get a lot of money but they are doing it to keep their gift in their life. So this is the hero’s journey is finding. Now what Roger Clemens is doing was avoiding finding another gift within himself. That’s what these guys face. Derek Jeter on the other hand, I hate to be Mr. Baseball, Derek Jeter recognized his gift had diminished and he stopped baseball at a really good time in his career.
If he played one more year, he would have been batting 205 and would have made errors. He would have no range and what did he do? Did he just hang on and start taking steroids? No, he retired and now he’s trying to find other gifts in life. Maybe he will, maybe he won’t but at least he’s trying and this is why the hero’s journey is so important in your storytelling.
[0:47:44.3] TG: Okay so at this point, we’re reaching the end of an episode and we have gotten to the first inciting incident of the beginning hook and even bounced that around a little bit. So why don’t we Shawn make this like a two parter and in the next episode, we’ll keep going through and you’ll be able to walk me through the foolscap all the way to the end because I have questions of course about the five different parts but also like I mentioned the external and internal charges. I’m really lost on that so we’ll just keep going through this for the next episode and then we’ll move on from there. How does that sound?
[0:48:23.1] SC: That sounds great.

Reading this transcript I realize I’m not following much of the conversation. Instead of jumping into this now would it be best to go back to the beginning and binge read/listen until I catch up? Or try to catch up and keep up with the current episodes?
In the archive, it’s about mid-2015.
Tim and Shawn resume after taking a hiatus from the podcast, and are discussing how to plan Tim’s second draft of his novel. This second draft turns out to be a whole new thing; basically, all they kept was the concept. The podcasts from there will build Tim’s book, scene by scene.
The reason I think it’s a good place for newcomers to begin is because Shawn will reiterate storytelling principles throughout the podcasts which follow the one I linked to. He’s been over all of it with Tim as he wrote the first draft. After they agree to discard and start over, Shawn really digs in. He’s committed to seeing Tim succeed, and his explanations and guidance tie in neatly with his Story Grid book — observe how Tim’s seemingly impossible story problems melt away. Plenty of aha! moments for me, anyway. Your mileage may vary.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Seeing Tim struggle and then have Shawn untie the knots has been inspiring for me.
The episode I linked to was mid 2016, not 2015.
Also, if you go through the podcast pages, you’ll notice that some episodes include downloads of Tim’s scenes. Reading these may help catch you up quicker than sifting through hours of transcripts. | 2019-04-19T01:36:21 | https://storygrid.com/the-foolscap-story-grid/ |
Happy Monday! It’s a new week, and I’m excited to bring you new looks and we are officially kicking off gift guides! I did a poll on Instagram stories and 66% of you said you’d like to see gift ideas on the blog as early as this week (so coming right up friends).
We’ve also started to begin filming #Vlogmas which I am SO excited about. A lot in the works + the launch of our clothing label (we’ve had a few delays, but on track to get this up, so you can order in time for Christmas – yay!!).
The other day, we were driving to a meeting for our clothing label and we stumbled upon this beautiful park with amazing foliage. I love discovering new places unintentionally, we had so much fun shooting this look. This sweater (which I’ve styled for the fall) will also look amazing in the winter for holiday parties and such paired with red, skirts, jeans etc. The ruffles really dress it up and make it interesting, it also comes in black! I got a small but I could have sized down to an XS (so the sleeves would be more fitted).
This is such a cute look! Love the sweater.
This outfit is seriously so cute! I love the sweater! | 2019-04-24T03:01:57 | http://www.stephaniesterjovski.com/ruffle-sweater-season/ |
I want to explore the world and go on an adventure. Elizabeth likes reading detective novels. His lack of technical knowledge precluded him from promotion. The group is introducing some songs from their new album. The train was running at full speed. Harris arrived on time in spite of the storm. You're a doctor. Someone's waiting in the lobby. A Mr Sakaki has come to see you. He isn't very persevering; he only works in fits and starts.
It is good for nothing. How did Morgan and Part get to know each other? Dan went to Linda's house to confront her. Why don't you just quit your job? The American government has recently been on a crusade to wipe out drug trafficking. How can you believe without knowing? Maybe feelings are more intense than thoughts. I don't have to go anymore. She told me that she had bigger fish to fry. Hui told Joel he was tired. We'll change it.
Much attention was paid to the safety of the passengers. Frank took part in the search. This picture reminds me of our happy days in England. I guess I misunderstood. I'm controlling myself not to lose my head. The truck fell off the cliff. I hope you and Joachim have a good time. You can see us in the morning. Why don't we ask him to help? However, my father used to fool around with women a lot.
Saqib held one of Sanity's hands, and John held the other. I wish this was over. Archie had a knife in his hand. Sorry, I can't stay for long. I recently started seeing a man. They settled in Canada. What's that in your pocket? Do you know what just happened? The problem here isn't me. Pass me the ketchup, please.
I feel amazing! We'll never let her go. This picture always reminds me of my hometown. I failed my blood test. Dalton is fun to be around. There's somebody at the door. I thought you two should meet each other. Someone! Catch that man! We want them to be successful. It is ten o'clock by my watch.
You may have been the last person to see Annard. I could never hurt her. Take the letter out of the envelope. The retail price index is a barometer of economic activity. I do not believe the weather will change for the worse next week. Come on The, let someone else have a turn. I can't believe you would do that for me. All were young once. His tone was one of sorrow. I told him to wear a hat.
After a month's stay here I will get much better. That's weird, isn't it? You didn't tell me this was yours. I took her for an American. Long skirts are very much in fashion. Her health is becoming steadily better. Anatole had no way of knowing that the dam wouldn't hold. He acted as a guide while I was staying in Kyoto. You lost your dog, didn't you? I want facts.
I found it. I don't want to speak about her. The world's greatest singers and most of its famous musicians have been fat or at least decidedly plump. You do like her, don't you? I need to buy some rat poison. That's how I feel about her. They closed the shop at five. I am not in a position to testify. I am having a nap. There is no danger of an earthquake.
Don't you think Boyce is kind of sweet? Sofoklis looked really uncomfortable. That's beautiful. Vance was sent to a state penitentiary. The wound healed. Do you feel like going for a swim in the creek later? They were confused. I got in touch with Huey. Lupe grinds the piloncillo into a fine powder. Do you think you know me?
How many kilograms do you weigh? Don't make fun of him because he cannot write his name. The researcher suggested promising directions for treating the cancer. What are we waiting for? What prevented her from coming yesterday? But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years; block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. The job of a driver is harder than it looks. What's Lorien going to think now? He shook hands with her and smiled. Inside the prism, violet light slows down more than red light. | 2019-04-24T05:51:39 | http://panmug.com/8153038823 |

Emma and Neil’s Norfolk Mead wedding always had the making of an absolute summer classic.
As I arrived at their home in Southrepps for bridal prep, all was calm under the big blue skies of this corner of Norfolk. As finishing touches were being put to hair and makeup, I also captured the all important details. Emma had chosen a stunning Justin Alexander gown with a cathedral length veil. It suited her so perfectly. She’d styled her daughter and best friend in glacier grey - one of the hot Pantone trends of the season.
A couple of minutes down the road, people were arriving at St James Church. It’s one of the grandest in the county, with a tower second only in height to Cromer. I grabbed a few minutes with the guys before heading inside. The nave was beautifully decorated with aisle lanterns and flowers everywhere. Taking the service was Rev Canon Owen who travelled up from his parish in Southwark to take the service. I have never had such an accommodating officiant and I thank him kindly for understanding what photography means to every couple in his charge.
When you work in the bridal industry and come to plan your own wedding, there’s always a little added pressure and expectation. Bride Emma is the talented florist behind Emms Stems and I know she was certainly feeling it too. She needn’t have worried, her floral creations were absolutely stunning. Opting for shades of pink through peonies and roses, flowers appeared everywhere, even as favours. | 2019-04-22T10:14:51 | https://www.fullerphotographyweddings.co.uk/blog/norfolk-mead-wedding-of-emma-and-neil/ |

Our barangay contribute to the basic needs of the Balanga city through its prime agricultural land. Hectares of rice fields, fruits plantation like mango, jackfruit and other seasonal seedling, and plentiful of organic based vegetables.
Moreover, it is ideal place in pasturing of the cattle. Which eventually, give the reason why our barangay called Dangcol that came from animal manure.
Although, distance from the city proper may associate to our barangay, the support of the city government was vast and at high-speed. That’s why, we are not left behind because of our distance. At the end of the day, this continuous support and with our united barangay, to be a world class will be a just step away. And this website does a great job to show the information of our barangay around the world, the soon to be a world class barangay.

The Canadian wine industry is younger than most around the world, but we are proudly entering our prime time. Most wine production hails from Ontario and British Columbia, with smaller regions in Quebec and Nova Scotia. This summer, celebrate the season’s fresh flavours with local wine that’s sure to delight!
Look for the Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) stamp of approval when shopping for wines from British Columbia and Ontario. This symbol signifies that the wine is 100 percent – from grape to glass – from the labelled provinces.
Canada is, obviously, a cool climate wine-growing region (as opposed to year-round warm climates, such as California). This means our wines have a great backbone of acidity and balanced fruit characteristics.
Canadian vintners excel at Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Baco Noir. Our sparkling wines, made in the traditional champagne method, taste world class, and our icewine – frozen grapes harvested at night – is what we’re best known for. We also make interesting fruit wines, such as Southbrook’s Framboise.
Canadian wines are amazingly food-friendly. The crisp acidity of Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect match for green salads, seafood and cream-based dishes. Our Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are elegant and balanced, pairing well with medium-weight foods like pork, risotto and artisanal cheeses. Open a bottle of Cabernet Franc, Merlot or Baco Noir for rich-flavoured meals or alongside sharp cheeses and decadent dark chocolate.
Ontario’s beautiful wine country is a must-visit spot. Highlights include Twenty Valley, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Pelee Island and Prince Edward County. In British Columbia, explore wines from the picturesque Okanagan Valley, Similkameen Valley, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
In Quebec, Canada’s third largest wine-producing region, discover wines from Lake Champlain, the St. Lawrence River and the Laurentians. Nova Scotia boasts a booming industry, with six beautiful wine-growing regions and 14 unique wineries, such as Benjamin Bridge Vineyards. | 2019-04-26T06:16:56 | https://www.styleathome.com/food-and-drink/wine-and-spirits/article/wine-spirits-made-in-canada |

why does pressure change crystal structure?
Based upon the extrapolation of the high-pressure data using an exponential form of the Murnaghan equation of state, the volume of hcp iron at zero pressure is 6.72±0.06 cm3/mole. The volume change for the bcc-hcp transformation at 130 kbar is -0.34±0.01 cm3/mole. This value satisfies the triple point conditions for the bcc-hcp-fcc triple point when published values for the other phase transformations are used. | 2019-04-20T23:16:35 | https://www.askiitians.com/forums/Physical-Chemistry/19/25084/solid-state.htm |

So many books, so little time!! I, too, am a fan of Ms. Howard and Mr. Perfect sounds like a great addition to my virtual library. Also, The River Witch sounds like a different kind of read. I will check it out. While I enjoy romantic suspense, the madmen-stalking-women ones creep me out too much. I remember Tess Gerritsen speaking about the creepiest encounter with a fan–a man who whispered in her ear that her book, The Surgeon, allowed him to live vicariously through the villain who operates on women, with no anaesthesia!! Ewwwwww! I just can’t go there, not even in the pages of a book. I’m in the middle of Mockingjay. After that, I want to read some of Nora Ephron’s writings in her honor/memory. Then I’ll start tackling this great list. Thanks, ladies!
Mr. Perfect is very emotional but it’s handled in a masterful way and you’ll enjoy the ride without getting creeped out. Promise!
Thanks for stopping by, PM!
Thanks for stopping by PM! You are right that THE SURGEON is intensely chilling and may not be for everyone. If you love the chill, however, it rocks!
I adore Nora Ephron. What a wonderful talent she shared with us while she was here. I loved her work and rereading sounds like a great idea!
Fabulous job compiling the list, Krista, thank you!
I LOVE the bestsellers (Howard, Gerritsen) but wanted to showcase an unknown with great talent. Of course Will Simon’s SPIDER’S DANCE is right up there with Kimberly Frost’s ALL THAT FALLS.
What a fabulous list! Thanks Krista for putting this together. i love the fact that there are books on it that I’ve not heard of before. I love finding new authors and titles!
Sharon, THE RIVER WITCH sounds like the perfect escape from this heat wave! And a great recommendation for my book group when we meet again in September.
Thanks for the suggestions for the summer. I have downloaded the unexpected guest on my kindle as well as the new Silva book which is coming out on July 17.
Another book to put on the list is The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffennbaugh. It is an interesting story about a girl who was brought up through foster homes and group care. The language is the Victorian language of flowers used to convey romantic expressions. The book with its use of different flowers reminded me of a unpublished book by an author I know well.
Hi Will! Thanks for stopping by! What’s on your TBR pile?
If any of you love thrillers with just a hint of romance (or sometimes, no romance), you might want to check out author Jeffery Deaver’s Lincoln Rhymes series of books. You’ve probably heard of The Bone Collector, which was made into a movie. Great book. But my favorite Lincoln Rhymes (the main character in the series) book is COFFIN DANCER. This book is the singular best example of unexpected twists and turns I’ve ever read. Period. Every single time I thought I knew what was about to happen, Deaver did something totally unexpected. Every. Single. Time. It’s an amazing book. I absolutely love it.
Jeffery Deaver is my sister’s absolute fav. Although in one book (don’t know which) the killer’s next intended victim has the exact same name as me (my maiden name: Sarah Stanton) so my sister had a really hard time getting through that book.
Yikes! That would be creepy! I would have trouble with that too. The book you’re referring to is The Cold Moon. Haven’t read that one, but since I own all of Deaver’s books it’s on my shelf with other TBR’s!
Gee thanks a lot guys. Now my pocketbook will be empty and my kindle will overflow.
I have so many partially read books on my Kindle it’s not funny. How does anyone have time to read these days? I read a chapter here, a chapter there — always writing. Not that I’m complaining. But, I seriously may take one night at the RWA conference this year and hole up in my room with my Kindle to actually finish a book! I miss reading.
Hi, Krista! I’m waiting for the new Jon Land STRONG VENGEANCE (a female Texas Ranger) and James Lee Burke’s CREOLE BELLE (his new Dave Robicheaux novel). Both are due this month. I just finished Tess Gerritsen’s FREAKS (A Rizzoli and Isles short story), and am currently reading F. Paul Wilson’s newest, NIGHTWORLD.
Great post, Krista, I can’t wait to wade through all these books. It’s better than Christmas!
I have been reading reviews of The River Witch and can’t wait to read it! It sounds great! I love Southern fiction. . . especially novels based in Georgia! | 2019-04-20T04:32:12 | https://kissandthrill.com/2012/07/03/murderously-good-reads/ |

Sharing an article that I wrote exploring the futures of liberal arts featured in the Journal of Futures Studies (JFS).
The paper inquires and investigates the decline and resurgence of liberal arts in the West and the assimilation and development of the discipline in Non-Western societies.
It tried to put the issue on a cultural and civilizational context and weaved a number of views on how the others participate in the liberal arts debate.
This paper peers into the futures of liberal arts and articulates numerous contexts engaged in shaping the futures of liberal arts. It sought to answer the following questions: Is liberal arts likely to face extinction? Are there other liberals arts contexts other than the Western liberal arts model? Is there such a thing as a non-Western framework of liberal arts education? And can it be renewed, reinterpreted, redefined or translated in the context of the other, beyond the Western tradition? If so, what are its nuances, constraints, intricacies, hopes and futures? What are the futures of non-Western and Western liberal arts models?
Debates and discussions about the future of liberal arts have been going on mainly in the net and its future is being seen in the way that its Western proponents want it to be – a liberal arts that is useful in the workplace and promotes individualism and freedom of choice as well. Non-Western academics, however, see different patterns and values as liberal arts now becomes culture bound. Additionally, they insist that it must go beyond the current view and accentuate liberal arts cultivate one’s identity and nurtures skills for life. | 2019-04-20T16:47:14 | https://engagedforesight.net/category/liberal-arts-futures/ |

ASTM Skills Pvt. Ltd. provides Vocational Skills Training to enhance the skill set of the students and fulfills the increasing requirement for skilled individuals in all parts of India. ASTM provides training to its students in different fields like Physical Security Training, Electronic Security Training, Fire Protection Training and Retail & Merchandising Training. This Training helps in educating people to work in a trade, as a technician or support roles in a variety of industries. Vocational Training is also known as career oriented education or job role specific education. Technical or vocational work is usually based on the practical application of things while on the job and is traditionally non-academic but related to a particular trade or occupation.
Why Take Vocational Skills Training From ASTM?
Vocational Training Courses at ASTM are specially designed to offer training for specific jobs. ASTM's course structures are designed and developed by industry experts and instructional designers, many of them are NOS aligned, keeping in mind that the students should be able to grasp each and every detail about their Vocational Training Courses. The students are given more practical training complemented by on the job training(OJT) to enhance their practical insights so as to make them more accustomed to their job environment and make it easier for them to adapt to their job roles. ASTM's vocational training is result/outcome oriented and tailored to help you learn and earn, develop your careers as entrepreneurs or employees with the right mixture of knowledge, skills, and attitudes to perform in the practical world. A large part of the education in ASTM is hands-on training. ASTM provides a link between unemployed individuals and the working world with the help of Vocational Skills Training Courses.
ASTM also offers training to its students in a carefully engineered environment. The courses are specifically designed by educational experts in order to nurture the student's vocational skills, technical abilities and soft skills. ASTM provides Vocational Skills training in Mumbai, Delhi/NCR regions. ASTM is also an approved training partner of National Skills Development Corporation and affiliated with Security Sector Skills Development Council(SSSDC), Electronic Sector Skills Development Council of India(ESSCI) and Retail Association Skills Council of India(RASCI).
People, organizations, and governments invest in vocational education and training because of their positive outcomes, such as higher wages, better employability, economic growth, and improved productivity. It also brings non-economic benefits, such as lower absenteeism and lesser crimes. Those with vocational training can be more confident in their work environments as their training gives them the necessary competence that they will be able to handle any situation that gets tossed at them. Trained individuals will also be more at ease in comparison to their untrained counterparts with respect to job security and employment opportunities. These are the benefits of being trained in vocational skills. | 2019-04-18T12:28:53 | http://astm.co.in/vocational-skills-training/ |
In discussing three things the transdisciplinary research community can do to build bridges, I use “building bridges” as a metaphor. I discuss a bridge as a human-made artefact that is attributed meaningful form. It is created intentionally for one or more purposes. I step along a path I sketched in a recent publication (Lawrence, 2017) in order to explain why bridge building is fundamental for transdisciplinary inquiry, and three tasks that are necessary in order to effectively build bridges across academic, institutional and professional divides.
The transdisciplinary research community has given little attention to the culture of transdisciplinary inquiry. I am using the world ’culture’ to denote a multi-dimensional (plural) and evolving (change) concept rather than a monolithic and static one. This interpretation of culture enables us to explain why there has been an increasing division and specialization of disciplinary knowledge and professional know-how since the 19th century.
Today, for example, the word ‘environment’ (which only came into public use from about 1970), has been attributed different meanings by biologists, chemists and geologists, as well as anthropologists, sociologists and psychologists. Beyond these discipline-based groups, there are other trades and professional groups as well as policy decision makers who have specific interpretations too.
This example shows that there are no longer “two cultures” as C.P. Snow (1961) claimed, but multiple cultures, sub-cultures and micro-cultures, in a broad field concerned about the environment. Consequently, a fundamental task for the transdisciplinary research community is to develop capabilities and skills to build cultural bridges, and especially conceptual and linguistic bridges, between key concepts and their meanings used during specific projects. This is not a simple task.
The diversity of coexisting cultures today is only one reason why a trans-anthropo-logic of transdisciplinarity requires a commitment by funders and researchers for more in-depth research. In order to respond effectively to this challenge, a major shift is required from inward looking perspectives common to disciplinary-based education, training and research, to outward looking perspectives with vision beyond disciplinary divides. Today, beyond the walls of universities and professional institutions, there are a growing number of international organizations and foundations that support knowledge networks founded on such outward looking perspectives.
A second task for the transdisciplinary research community stems from a commitment to the co-definition of the purpose of the bridge. It is worth emphasizing again here that the bridge is not a physical structure, but a cultural artefact with meanings, uses and values. Participants in transdisciplinary projects need to agree on the shared concepts, data, definitions, information, meanings, rules and methods that will be used. Dialogue and negotiation are the means for the construction of a bridge across common divides. These processes can bring together academic and non-academic actors and institutions to tackle real-world concerns and situations that may require change. Building bridges across conceptual divides, institutional borders and social barriers takes time rarely allocated sufficiently in project proposals.
to remember that the bridge we have co-created expresses the way we act, perhaps not just during a research project but during our daily lives.
In essence, the way we think will influence our decisions about the purposes of building bridges, or whether we construct a bridge at all! Are you a transdisciplinary bridge builder? If so what do you think the next steps should be to bridge over academic, institutional and professional divides? Do you know of positive bridge building by the transdisciplinary research community?

Biography: Roderick Lawrence is Honorary Professor at the Geneva School of Social Sciences, in Switzerland, Honorary Adjunct Professor at the School of Architecture and the Built Environment, University of Adelaide, Australia, and Adjunct Professor at the Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI) at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, in Malaysia. He is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Research at the Swiss Academy of Sciences. His current research is about transdiciplinary planning of the built environment in the context of global, regional and local changes in order to promote and maintain health and well-being of all.
Transdisciplinary bridge builders can use scaffolding in order to build bridges between people educated in different disciplines, others trained for different professions, as well as the general public. The metaphor of scaffolding has been used over many decades in linguistics, pedagogy and psychology but I am not aware of its application by transdisciplinary researchers. I think it is a useful metaphor, not just because constructing large bridges requires scaffolding in the real world. I also think scaffolding is necessary if it is interpreted as different kinds of supportive systems to achieve transdisciplinary projects.
This use of the metaphor of scaffolding is an extension of the seminal contribution of the Russian psychologist Lev Semenovich Vygotsky (1896-1934). He argued that an individual’s ability is not limited by his intellect because it is potentially enriched by the quality of social interaction with others. Therefore, I posit that the organization of interpersonal communication during transdisciplinary projects is fundamentally important for their outcomes. This implies that the project coordinator (or project manager) should be capable of moderating, and if necessary, mediating dialogue during all phases of a project.
The first tier of scaffolding for transdisciplinary projects should support the diversity of knowledge cultures and know-how assembled for collaboration. A key task for the project coordinator is to ensure that all requisite data, knowledge and know how about a situation or problem is accessible to, and understood by, all the participants. Scaffolding such as knowledge arenas can support the sharing of data, information and diverse kinds of knowledge across disciplinary borders and sectoral boundaries. A second tier of scaffolding is necessary in order to bridge the knowledge gaps between what is known about the situation or problem and what missing data, information and knowledge is necessary before decisions are taken about actions that are feasible and desirable. Today, it is often no longer tenable to claim that more data and information are necessary before actions are taken to counteract societal challenges such as the increasing incidence of obesity, loss of biodiversity, and extreme weather events. Last but not least, a third tier of scaffolding is necessary to support transformative change. This scaffolding includes financial, institutional and political supports provided by both the public and private sectors. Today we know that transformative change is no simply grounded in empirical evidence, because it is also fundamentally founded on human attitudes, perceptions, values and world views.
Do you think that the metaphor of scaffolding is useful? Have you considered the supportive systems that could be used during your research project? Do you know of positive bridge building with scaffolding by the transdisciplinary research community?

Thank you Emily for your feedback and introducing the team work you have completed in the English Caribbean. Your application of the neo-pragmatic social theory of Cornel West (which I did not know) in the study of people-environment relations in the Caribbean region is an interesting case for others, and not only those committed to sustainable development issues. In my opinion cases such as yours need to be published to develop and share understanding on bridge building. I hope your work will be soon published in an article or book chapter that you can share with other researchers who seek to bridge between theory and practice, between the natural and social sciences, and between academic and extra-academic actors and institutions.
The metaphor of building a bridge between disciplines is a powerful one, and in itself frames the discussion. But perhaps a “building” metaphor is made of the same stuff that builds barriers between disciplines.
I wonder if a “destruction” metaphor is more useful. We need trans-disciplinary bridges because our endeavours to develop a disciplinary framework to explain the world, which in equal parts explains and isolates us from the world. i.e. a concept about the world is not the actual world. Maybe we need to destroy our disciplines from the bottom up until there is nothing left to bridge – but I guess this will only be initiated by the “bridge builders”.
Thanks Craig for you comments which raise issues that are being debated among transdisciplinary researchers, and indeed have been discussed in terms of the merits and shortcomings of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research over a longer period. (See Julie Thompson Klein, ‘ Discourses of transdisciplinarity: looking back to the future’, Futures, vol. 65, pp.10-16.). I prefer not to use negative metaphors even though I recognize these are commonly used to convince others. When I read your ‘destruction metaphor’ I recalled the images of Mostar Bridge destroyed in 1993; then I thought positively that the bridge was also reconstructed. The dismantling of disciplines has been proposed for decades, and some authors propose they are replaced by a meta-knowledge domain. Other authors stress that real-world challenges (such as climate change, non-communicable diseases and poverty) cannot be solved by applying knowledge from only one discipline. This point-of-view should not be interpreted as the negation of disciplines, but the need to combine and coordinate disciplinary competences, knowledge and know-how creatively to deal with these challenges. Other authors defend the need for disciplinary competences and knowledge in order to tackle in-depth problems in precise situations. Others writing about transdisciplinarity use concepts including transgression rather than destruction.
Rod, Just read your short blog on transdisciplinary bridge building… fascinating!
Could you send me a link to your chapter in the Fam et al book?
And perhaps the culture and positioning of some organisations within a collaborative system enable them to be more readily used as bridge builders towards differing cultures and professions, etc. (whilst others may be more of a challenge dependent upon the mix and context). I explore this here: http://cuttingedgepartnerships.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/opposed-cultures-and-bridging-cultures.html Click on the links at the top of the post to fill in some helpful background.
Charles, your proposition of an institutional framework grounded in an organizational culture triangle is an interesting one that should be known to transdisciplinary researchers. I appreciate your plural interpretation of extant cultures, and especially the fact that political culture of power and influence is at the pinacle.
Thank you Professor. It felt right (and more to the point of some use) when I was thinking about and constructing it.
Thank you so much professor Roderick Lawrence. Your seminar on the Sustain-talk series in University of Malaya is an eye opener to me on the issues of sustainability and the roles of Universities in SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). My name is Anyanwu Chimaobi Emeka. A postgraduate student in University of Malaya, faculty of Science. I am studying for my Masters degree in Science, Technology & Sustainability.
Please find below some my work of trans-disciplinary directions.
Thanks Tom for sharing these publications. Its fascinating that you acknowledge the seminal contribution of George Steiner who was a professor at the University of Cambridge when I had my postgraduate scholarship at St. John’s College; and he was also a Professor at the University of Geneva, where I spent most of my academic career in the Interfaculty Centre for Human Ecology and Environmental Sciences. | 2019-04-20T19:23:46 | https://i2insights.org/2017/10/17/transdisciplinary-bridge-builders/?share=google-plus-1 |

All I keep hearing is the teams with consistency are the most successful. Yes that is true, but are you guys blind? We can't keep the current regime we have going. When it comes to Tanny, you can say, he brought in Cro and Holmes, yes, but my issue is when it comes to depth players. He let players like Wallace Wright, Ben Hartsock, Brad Smith (who got over paid), T-Rich, go for nothing. Those guys were key contributors to going to back to back championship games. You can't defend the guy who is more considered about bringing in star power rather than, depth. And Rex, please?! The guy has not improved as a head coach in four years. Between all the penalties, no accountability, being way too loyal, I don't see how you can stay with this regime.
We've been very consistent. We have consistently declined every year under Rex. By all accounts we will continue to decline even more next year if these guys stay.
Success breeds consistency, not the other way around. Some people around here seem confused about this. | 2019-04-23T19:01:36 | http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/threads/252323-This-Consistency-Issue?s=10cf5105117cbe0525b2d2970d257b3b |

At least a few more days of Perez. Good stuff.
Just do the evictions and have less in the final. They have too many finalists anyway imo. AND NO MORE NOMS TWISTS!
Yes! Another week of Perez haha though im not sure he will last the whole week.
Damn these nom twists whats the point of them even nominating anymore!
Rename the show CBP Celebrity Big Perez!
Why have they cancelled it? i thought they only cancel evictions if someone up for eviction walked?
Well they nominated last night, maybe Alex was up?
If perez is up, then Tuesday's eviction should go ahead, time for him to go.

It’s easy (or easier) to become a wine expert when you narrow the field down to ten grapes. For the wine drinker who loves Pinot Noir but doesn’t know what to try next, wants a French Chardonnay but isn’t sure what to look for on the bottle, or needs a little support before they open the wine menu at lunch with a client, Master Sommelier Catherine Fallis’s authoritative but inviting introduction to wine is an indispensable guide.
Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel make the cut. The book covers the basics of tasting (and why wines taste the way they do), buying, and pairing wine. Fallis gives readers tricks to remember the difference between the côtes of Burgundy, offers dozens of specific recommendations in every price range, provides tips for talking to sommeliers, and shares memorable tasting exercises. This book will help readers build their wine confidence whether they’re looking for an inexpensive bottle for dinner at home or trying to impress the in- laws. | 2019-04-25T19:00:32 | https://www.bookpassage.com/ebook/9781682682548 |

There are 26 different categories that aim to celebrate the best communications and public relations companies. Some of the awards include Young Communicator of the Year, In-house Professional of the Year and Freelancer of the Year. Many industries are recognized – the categories also count financial services and nonprofit organizations among the award classifications.
According to the association’s website, some of last year’s winners won praise for campaigns such as Ignite, the campaign that introduced Santanders in the U.K., as well as the National Health Service of Leicester’s ad campaign that raised awareness about teenage pregnancy.
The PRCA describes itself as a group representing PR professionals in the U.K. – consultancies, freelancers and in-house communications teams.
“The association exists to raise standards in PR and communications, providing members with industry data, facilitating the sharing of communications best practice and creating networking opportunities,” the organization’s website says. | 2019-04-26T05:51:36 | https://www.visioncritical.com/news-events/prca-plans-honor-pr-stars-awards-ceremony/ |
Peter Gabriel's thrid studio album, and not a bad effort, I must say. Several of the melodies are memorable and catchy, while not delving too deep into pop. Although I would consider this an art pop album above any other genre terms. The progressiveness of some tracks are lacking, and the drumming/percussion while good at times, somewhat bored me.
The songs follow a sparse and slightly dark tone throughout. highlights including Games without Frontiers, and Biko. Everything else is slightly memorable pop with a dark tone, and good lyrics. Lacking in progressiveness, scope, and technicality, the record seems to stumble at times, and prevents itself from achieving what I feel t could have if given a bit of a formula change. Although I did enjoy this record, I can;t say it stuck out in my mind very much at all after a few listens.
At the end of the day, this is a solid art pop record, with some pessimistic undertones, and a few instances of unusual or eastern drumming. Three Stars. | 2019-04-21T03:33:21 | http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=211413 |
My father was always filling my tiny mouse brain with mouse-lore.
He always said the early bird catches the worm but the only free cheese is in the mouse trap.
The mouse-lore was wisdom down the generations of mice,from fathers to sons.
Even my father was first mouse for one day only.
Over my life, I’ve found my own wisdom and maybe my words will be added to the mouse-lore one day.
When we are together, us mice are very orderly.
Everybody knows that the 2nd mouse gets the cheese.
Each day we would queue up to get ready for the trap.
Each day we would move a little closer to the front.
I was finally moved up to third mouse.
The next trap triggered meant next day was cheese day for me.
I would move up to be the 2nd mouse.
Up there for thinking,down there for dancing.
Everyone wanted to be the 2nd mouse, then it hit me.
I would only be fed for one day before I got moved up the queue again – to 1st mouse.
What is better self-respect or loss of respect in other peoples eyes?
I achieved both when I let the fourth mouse take my place – and jump up to second.
All mice ever think about is getting the cheese.
They queued up in order, each day one of them would die.
As soon as I made that decision to let the fourth mouse move ahead of me.
I was the first ever mouse to think for himself.
I could see how it was all set up, for us slowly to die,one by one.
The laying of the trap, the thrill of easy cheese.
Nobody listened to me, as they had no respect for me.
In their eyes I didn’t want the cheese,you see.
They only saw me as foolish.
I was destined to get older, and older while all my fellow mice died,one by one.
All mice are selfish, I found.
That is what is stopping them from learning.
They do line up in order, yet they are only out for themselves. Cheese-blind.
It was hard, I was still the third mouse. Everyone now knows just to walk past me and become the 2nd mouse.
I knew I was the first ever thinking mouse.
The only mouse to turn down the cheese.
But how could I pass on my knowledge?
How could I help the other mice after I was gone?
I started to get nasty to win my place back. I attacked the fourth mouse, making sure I would move up from 3rd to 2nd mouse.
Next day, the first mouse moved in as usual. The trap triggered,catching the poor guys head, killing him.
managed to free the dead mouse, kicking and pushing it free from the trap.
As I dragged his body away, the third mouse ran in and got the cheese.
I was the only 2nd mouse never to get any cheese.
The next day,promoted to 1st mouse, I could see them all waiting in anticipation.
I dragged the body of yesterdays mouse forward and, with some difficulty pushed him towards the trap.
The trap triggered,trapping the poor mouses head for the 2nd day in a row.
For the first time ever, the first mouse got the cheese.
As I’ve said many times in my life, the only free cheese may be in the trap but the dead mouse frees the cheese.
Perhaps they will add it to the mouse-lore when I’m gone.
It’s my turn to go forward and be the new trap mouse.
You can only re-use a body so many times before it gets a bit icky.
I wonder how long they will remember me?
I have never spent as long thinking about the order of fictional mice in my life.
Perhaps this is a modern allegory.
There are many cheese-blind among us,ignorant of mouse-lore.
Your father was a wise man (mouse). Traps have been used for (what? millenia? centuries? decades?) a while now…. you’d think at least one mouse would have discovered your strategy.
Thanks for sharing the brilliant proverbs…although it is painful to be reminded on having been the dead mouse several times in my professional life…. Well, I guess, I should change my timing in future.
The Russian proverb gives the clue. Wait for the first mouse to spring the trap, then all “rush in”!
Pity. But there you are.
Sorry if I am being cheesy here, but ‘The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry,’ as said Robert Burns. Great allegory.
But also – great quote! I have some art featuring Burns Cottage at home. | 2019-04-22T14:23:52 | https://rebelfish.blog/2018/12/08/the-hope-found-in-a-dead-mouse/ |
Last month I wrote about Team Development and the four stages a team goes through reaching high levels of performance.
So let’s think about reasons for breaking up the team.
Some teams have a specific purpose: to deliver a finished project. When the project is over, great organizations will have a party (including more than just the team), celebrate the team members, speak some meaningful words and announce that auditions are next week for the teams that will handle the next batch of projects.
Less-than-great organizations will have a policy that projects will have to be de-staffed without disrupting billable hours. Or will just pull team members out of the project and reassign them as the major phases are complete, un-jelling the team and disrupting the flow. I’ve even seen projects that never officially ended, but just stopped, leaving the project unfinished, the resources and team members unnerved about their status and certainly uncelebrated.
Great organizations will find some way to keep the momentum of the team’s success going.
Have you ever noticed that when management likes what’s happening, it’s called a “team” and when management doesn’t, it’s called a “clique”? There’s very little difference in the words except the connotation. Think about “breeze” and “draft” for a few moments.
They’re both essentially the same (a slight movement of air) except that one is desired and the other is considered a nuisance.
In one company I observed, teams were broken up and rejoined on an 18- or 36-month cycle! Granted, they rarely were put back the way they started, but some form of breaking up or rejoining was almost always taking place.
The rationale was usually given that the desired synergy had been accomplished (e.g., by joining the Operations and Engineering groups) and now it was time to let the Ops guys focus on operations and the Engineers focus on engineering. After a while, a schism would be found that would show it was time to rejoin the two groups and Share Knowledge and Experience again.
Well-performing teams can be threatening, especially to managers and leaders on the “outside”. These teams are virtually unstoppable and sometimes operate under rules of their own. And unless you’re a player-coach (and sometimes not even then), as a manager, you’re just not on the team.
Other managers can feel threatened by this sort of team. It’s true, the manager of this team isn’t completely in control. In order to be successful, there must be a large amount of trust (both ways). The manager must either choose goals that the team has already adopted for themselves or have ways of getting buy-in for goals not yet accepted.
So unless your team’s function is of such importance to your organization that it must continue forever in its current form, it will have to “Adjourn” at some point. Break it up if you must, but do it right and for the right reasons.
So what reason is management giving for not keeping the team together? Is it a good one?

Very insightful, as always. I’m curious how many other folks have seen organizations successfully and gracefully “adjourn” a team and repurpose folks.
I used to see some of that graceful adjourning when I was consulting at Interleaf many years ago. Sadly, I think most of the shops I’ve been at since have all just suddenly stopped the project and let people drift until the next gig. | 2019-04-24T12:24:46 | http://jeffreygifford.com/2011/01/20/breaking-up-the-team/ |
Here is something I learned from The Daily Whip. It’s about how to get more done and be more productive. As coaches, we have limited time with our team. It’s important that we make the most of our time, of our season.
Here’s a little strategy that can help you do that.
Make a Wish List, a Week Goal, and a Daily Hit List.
Write out your wish list for your team/program. What do you want for it? Where do you want to see it goal? What’s in your big picture? Don’t over think this, just write down the FIRST 10-12 things that come to your mind.
Look at your wish list and think of ONE thing to want to get done/address this week. Write down this ONE goal.
With your Week Goal in mind, come up with 2-3 things you WILL do today that move you closer to your week goal. Do these things as the very FIRST softball things you do all day. Nothing else comes first. Hit this hit list first.
Do NOT list a bazillion things. This is not your “to-do” list. This is simply a list of 2-3 actions you can take today that will help you accomplish your week goal. Keep the list short so it’s DO-able.
IF you happens to finish this list and feel feisty, go ahead and think of the one NEXT thing you can do to accomplish your week goal and tackle that. Finish that? Tackle ONE more thing if you’re so inclined. That’s fine, but remember to make your initial list for the day short and focused!
Look at your list and write a letter “A” next to the 3 MOST important things on that list. Put a “B” next to the next 3 things, etc.
In the “A” section, think about which task is THE most important, must do item OR the one that will give you the BIGGEST result with the least amount of effort. Write a “1″ next to that thing. It is now your “A1″ thing to do.
Do that again and write a “2″ next to the next most important thing. The a “3″ next to the last thing etc. Do this for the B section too. | 2019-04-21T16:54:52 | http://fastpitch411.com/?p=926 |

"How is it possible to morph from JFK to Barack Obama in one generation"
Oh, please. OK, JFK was a better President than Obama. There are things growing on damp read that would make a better President than Obama. On his own merits, JFK was a mediocre President whose election was brought about by a corrupt political machine. He had good hair, nice teeth, and a pretty family. He botched the Bat of Pigs (either back the anti-Castro insurgents all the damned way, or call a halt. Either choice would have been better), increased out involvement in Vietnam, started the inflation spiral that plagued every subsequent President until Reagan. If he hadn't been shot he would be remembered as nothing special. | 2019-04-21T11:02:06 | http://dissectleft.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-protected-class-ask-anyone-on-left.html |

Whether you have a pool or not to complement your spa a deck can be an perfect location because it offers an elevated, clean, flat surface on which to dry off after relaxing in your hot tube. Building a deck to support a spa is very different that assembling an ordinary deck since the weight that it needs to support is a great deal more. It must be sturdy and strong.
You will need treated wooden planks for piers and footing, measuring tape, shovel, stakes, sand, and saw.
The usual deck measures about 8´x 8´. Mark your perimeter with stakes and string. Determine the center of your deck area by using the meeting point of strings that are strung diagonally between the stakes, from one corner to the other. Now mark this point with another stake. Mark all of the other locations of pier footings with stakes. On a deck of this size (8´x8´) there will be 13 of these. One for the center, four for the corners and 4 placed at the center point of each side and the last four placed between these and the center stake.
Now you will need to dig square holes at each side of the pier footing locations, at least two feet deep with a thin layer of sand ( about 3”) over the bottom of the holes. Level and compact the sand. Place the pier footings vertically on the inside, assuring yourself that they are firmly set and level, then pound down the soil around the footings. Add enough soil at the base of each footing to allow overflow water to run away and not form puddles around your deck once the tub is installed.
Cut all of your wood to the proper length, 8´x4´ in this case, which is easily done by attaching two 8´x2´s boards, shaped so that they fit easily together. Secure the deck´s support frame over the pier footings. Use metal T-plates to fasten the wood boards together atop the support pillars.
Secure the flooring of your deck to the support frame. Screw 2”x4” planks over the support frame, and leave a tiny gap between each board. To keep your structure safe, be sure to countersink all of your screws. Coat your deck with weather-proof stain and finish. Sprinkle some sand onto the finish before you spread it to create a nonslip surface in case water slips out of the tub. Allow the finish to dry and install the plumbing, electrical and tub itself and your ready to enjoy. | 2019-04-20T10:12:28 | https://www.itsbuildable.com/how-to-build-a-spa-deck |

A group of Jewish settlers has stormed a village near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank with the aim of constructing an illegal settlement outpost.
The group entered the village of Tuqu’, east of Bethlehem, yesterday under the protection of the Israeli army, and set up a mobile home, a tactic used regularly to establish illegal Israeli outposts on land across the occupied Palestinian territories.
Tuqu’ has been targeted repeatedly by Israel in recent weeks. Last week, three Palestinian students were injured by live ammunition after Israeli forces stormed the village and surrounded the local high school. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed that its medical crew had transferred three people suffering from wounds to the abdomen, pelvis, and leg to the nearby Beit Jala Hospital, Ma’an reported. Two of the three students were in a critical condition, added the Red Crescent.
Earlier in January, the Israeli army distributed leaflets threatening the residents of Tuqu’ with collective punishment. The army claimed that illegal Jewish settlers’ vehicles are “repeatedly attacked with rocks.” The leaflet threatened the withdrawal of Israeli entry permits for anyone found to be involved. Soldiers stormed Tuqu’ in order to distribute the leaflets; a video on the Ma’an website shows them attaching posters to buildings and doors within the village.
Just two days earlier, 50 illegal settlers had attacked Tuqu’ and thrown rocks at Palestinian vehicles. Though nobody appears to have been injured, the attack caused severe material damage and, like most cases of settler violence against Palestinians, was not investigated by the Israeli authorities. | 2019-04-25T16:04:10 | http://www.palestinechronicle.com/jewish-settlers-storm-bethlehem-village-establish-illegal-outpost/ |

MANCHESTER UNITED could be set to make a move for Denmark wonderkid Jacob Rasmussen after handing him a week's trial.
United will run the rule over Rasmussen until Friday, when he then returns to Danish Superliga outfit Odense.
The Denmark Under-17 international is highly regarded in his homeland, and Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson could move for the youngster on a more permanent deal were he to impress during his time at Manchester United.
United are looking to strengthen their defence this summer, and Rasmussen could provide a strong long-term option. | 2019-04-21T11:04:46 | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/385649/Man-United-hand-trial-to-Danish-youngster-Jacob-Rasmussen |

Whether you have five vehicles in your fleet or 100, following effective business practices is essential to long-term success of your fleet operations. Our team at STTC has many years of experience in guiding clients on their need for commercial truck tires and maintenance and we assist fleets in planning for the long-term. In this new post, we’re presenting our guide to commercial budgeting for 2019 for fleet operators.
One of the most common mistakes company leaders make in managing their fleets is not setting clear maintenance guidelines for their staff. This can often mean your staff doesn’t follow standard industry maintenance rules, causing vehicles to be maintained less often as a result. By setting clear maintenance guidelines and ensuring that your team follows these guidelines to the letter, you can help to minimize repair and maintenance costs now and over the years ahead.
As a means of tracking your team’s commitment to vehicle maintenance, you can use maintenance logs. The logs will point out the type of work that has been completed on the vehicle, who completed the work, and any additional notes regarding the vehicle’s performance. As part of the maintenance logs, drivers should be asked to point out any potential maintenance requirement they believe needs more attention on that vehicle, giving your repair team an area to focus on for their work.
Outside of the fleet, business owners should be honing their relationships with suppliers of commercial truck tires to ensure they can obtain the best value tires within their operational requirements. By reaching out regularly to tire suppliers, you can learn more about the marketplace and any changes being made within the industry. The supplier is then more likely to present you with special offers to help your fleet with its budgeting in 2019 and beyond.
BTW, you can always find STTC’s current Special Offers at this link.
Many fleet operators are now examining their budgets for 2019 and turning to tire retreads as an option for the long-term. Retread tires are more cost-effective than new tires and can often perform as effectively in a range of driving conditions. Working with a trusted retread supplier can also help to optimize the cost-per-mile for your fleet. Our team at STTC is now working with fleets across the region to help companies reduce costs and focus on proactive planning. To learn more about our company, our services, and the commercial truck tires we offer, contact us today. | 2019-04-20T12:46:37 | https://www.sttc.com/reducing-costs-for-commercial-truck-tires-guide-to-commercial-budgeting-in-2019-for-fleet-operators/ |

The tail of a feathered dinosaur has been found perfectly preserved in amber from Myanmar.
The one-of-a-kind discovery helps put flesh on the bones of these extinct creatures, opening a new window on the biology of a group that dominated Earth for more than 160 million years.
Examination of the specimen suggests the tail was chestnut brown on top and white on its underside.
The tail is described in the journal Current Biology.
"This is the first time we've found dinosaur material preserved in amber," co-author Ryan McKellar, of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Canada, told the BBC News website.
The feathers lack the well-developed central shaft - a rachis - known from modern birds. Their structure suggests that the two finest tiers of branching in modern feathers, known as barbs and barbules, arose before the rachis formed.
Kachin State, in north-eastern Myanmar, where the specimen was found, has been producing amber for 2,000 years. But because of the large quantity of insects preserved in the deposits, over the last 20 years it has become a focus for scientists who study ancient arthropods.
"The larger amber pieces often get broken up in the mining process. By the time we see them they have often been turned into things like jewellery. We never know how much of the specimen has been missed," said Dr McKellar.
"If you had a complete specimen, for example, you could look at how feathers were arranged across the whole body. Or you could look at other soft tissue features that don't usually get preserved."
Other preserved parts of a feathered dinosaur might also reveal whether it was a flying or gliding animal.
"There have been other, anecdotal reports of similar specimens coming from the region. But if they disappear into private collections, then they're lost to science," Dr McKellar explained.
Dr Paul Barrett, from London's Natural History Museum, called the specimen a "beautiful fossil", describing it as a "really rare occurrence of vertebrate material in amber".
He told BBC News: "Feathers have been recovered in amber before, so that aspect isn't new, but what this new specimen shows is the 3D arrangement of feathers in a Mesozoic dinosaur/bird for the first time, as almost all of the other feathered dinosaur fossils and Mesozoic bird skeletons that we have are flattened and 2D only, which has obscured some important features of their anatomy.
"The new amber specimen confirms ideas from developmental biologists about the order in which some of the detailed features of modern feathers, such as barbs and barbules (the little hooks that hold the barbs together so that the feather can form a nice neat vane), would have appeared also."
Earlier this year, scientists also described ancient bird wings that had been discovered in amber from the same area of Myanmar. | 2019-04-21T15:44:35 | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-38224564?post_id=10153220939722225_10154723087547225 |

Before deciding on a porcelain crown treatment, you probably have some unanswered questions. At Vero Dental Spa, we want you to feel comfortable with your cosmetic and restorative dental choices, so we have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions from our patients. If you are interested in porcelain crowns to restore the function and beauty of your smile, all the information that you need is here.
Crowns have been used as a solution for teeth that have become damaged and decayed for a long time. They sit perfectly over the top of the affected tooth, hiding the tooth completely inside of it, right down to the gum line. Once in place, they restore the shape, strength, and function of the tooth.
Why Choose Porcelain for Crowns?
In the past, crowns have been created from a variety of materials including gold or stainless steel. Porcelain has the cosmetic benefit of being able to be created in a huge spectrum of shades. This means they can be color-matched to your regular teeth, making them extremely discreet and giving you a natural-looking smile.
Crowns that are made entirely from porcelain are also biocompatible, meaning that there is virtually no risk of gum irritations or allergic reactions, unlike what is commonly seen in patients with metal crowns.
You have a tooth that is severely eroded.
You have a tooth that is severely misshapen or a different size to the others.
You have a weakened tooth that is at risk of breaking.
You are also having a dental bridge - crowns act as anchors, securing them in place.
You have a tooth that requires a larger filling than is possible. This is usually because parts of the tooth are broken or severely eroded.
You have a tooth that is severely stained, or is discolored through trauma.
You are having dental implants.
Porcelain crowns are fitted in the same way as regular crowns. We will arrange to take impressions of your teeth to determine the size, shape and color that the crown needs to be. This ensures that the crowns can be made accurately.
Next, the damaged tooth need to be prepared so that the crown can fit snugly over the top of it. This involves giving you a local anesthetic before preparing the tooth for the crown. You will be given temporary crowns to wear while your custom-fit porcelain crowns are being created.
Around a week later you will need to return to our office to have your permanent crowns fitted, restoring the function and appearance of your teeth.
How Long Will My Porcelain Crowns Last?
While porcelain is a highly durable material for cosmetic dentistry, you will still need to maintain your treatment. The life expectancy of your crown will depend on your maintaining a strenuous daily dental care routine, and paying attention to bite pressure, gritting your jaw, and grinding your teeth. When well cared for, most crowns last anywhere between 10 and 20 years, making them a great investment in your oral health.
Will My Dental Insurance Cover the Cost of My Crowns?
Crowns are usually considered to be a functional dental repair, so they are often covered by insurance. We strongly suggest that you check your dental insurance policy thoroughly before you book any procedure. If you find that you aren’t covered by your insurance, speak to our team to find out more about arranging an affordable payment plan to help you achieve the smile that you deserve. | 2019-04-25T23:56:51 | https://www.verodentalspa.com/articles/porcelain-crown-faqs.html |
Teriyaki Chicken – This authentic Japanese recipe only takes 20 minutes to make! All you need is 5 simple ingredients and it’s way cheaper than getting it at a restaurant! This is the BEST teriyaki chicken recipe!
Teriyaki chicken is one of my go-to foods to order at a Japanese restaurant. It is something that I can always count on being delicious and I just love the flavor! To kick of my new collection of authentic Japanese recipes and Japanese-inspired recipes that are easy and approachable for the typical home cook, I knew I had to stat out with a recognizable classic! I have tried my hand at many different versions of teriyaki over the years (such as my teriyaki meatballs), but this is by far my favorite recipe to make. It only takes 20 minutes total and 5 ingredients. That’s it! It’s super easy and way cheaper than ordering it out!
Is chicken teriyaki good for you?
How good chicken teriyaki is for you depends on the ingredients you use to cook it. It can be high in sodium and fat but if you use lower sodium soy sauce and a leaner cut of meat such as chicken breast or you trim the fat off well, this can help make it healthier. Additionally, many teriyaki recipes call for quite a lot of sugar but this one uses just the bare minimum necessary to maintain the classic teriyaki flavor.
Teriyaki sauce is made from 4 simple ingredients – soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar. If you plan on cooking a lot of Japanese recipes, I highly suggest having all of those ingredients on hand, a combination of those and just a few other ingredients such as miso paste and rice vinegar make up most of the sauces and soups prevalent in Japanese cooking. If you can’t find them in your local grocery store, they are all available on Amazon pretty cheap.
How do I make Japanese teriyaki chicken?
Japanese teriyaki chicken typically is made using chicken thighs and teriyaki sauce. The chicken thighs are either grilled or pan-fried and then the sauce is added at the end while the chicken cooks in it a little longer and the sauce thickens.
What is the taste of chicken teriyaki?
Chicken teriyaki has a strong umami flavor, it is both salty and sweet.
Yes, chicken teriyaki is originally a Japanese dish. “Teri” means shine and “yaki” means grilled so when combined, “teriyaki” describes the dish very well. Typically in Japan, this style of cooking is primarily used on fish but in the west, it can be found on just about everything from chicken to beef.
How do you thicken teriyaki sauce?
Teriyaki sauce is not a particularly thick sauce. It can be if you mix it with a slurry of cornstarch but that is optional. For this recipe, the sauce is a reduction of the sake and other sauce ingredients cooking down.
While the recipe does call for skinless chicken thighs, any cut of chicken can work instead such as chicken breasts or drumsticks.
Chicken thighs with skin can also be delicious if you let the skin cook until golden and crispy.
Some other popular meats to use in teriyaki recipes are salmon, mackerel, steak, squid, etc.
If you choose to grill the chicken, cook in until it is cooked through and then make the sauce, pour it into a pan, bring to a boil, and then add the chicken in.
Japanese recipes are traditionally served with short-grain white or brown rice. This is a great option to pair with the chicken teriyaki but additionally, noodles tossed with a bit of the extra teriyaki sauce such as soba noodles are great too.
If you can’t get ahold of mirin, you can substitute in extra sake for it along with 1/2 teaspoon of extra sugar.

Teriyaki Chicken - This authentic Japanese recipe only takes 20 minutes to make! All you need is 5 simple ingredients and it's way cheaper than getting it at a restaurant! This is the BEST teriyaki chicken recipe!
Remove excess fat from chicken thighs and then place them on a grated pan or skillet over medium heat with oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until chicken has browned before flipping the chicken over and cooking the other side.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
Once the chicken has cooked through, remove from pan and set aside. Pour the teriyaki sauce into the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the sauce has boiled for about 2 minutes, add the chicken back in and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally so that the sauce soaks into both sides. Serve over rice or noodles.

The share of national income that went to the top 1 percent declined steadily from 1925 to about 1975, but has risen steadily since. We are a less economically cohesive nation.
The share of Americans who were born abroad dropped steadily from 1910 to 1970. But the share of immigrants has risen steadily ever since, from 4.7 percent of the population to nearly 14 percent. We are a more diverse and less demographically cohesive nation.
In case after case, we’ve replaced attachments to large established institutions with commitments to looser and more flexible networks. Levin argues that the internet did not cause this shift but embodies today’s individualistic, diffuse society.
Church attendance has declined twice as fast among people without high school diplomas as among people with college degrees. With each additional year of education, the likelihood of attending religious services rises 15 percent.
We’re also less embedded in tight, soul-forming institutions. Levin makes another distinction between community – being part of a congregation – and identity – being, say, Jewish. Being part of community takes time and involves restrictions. Merely having an identity doesn’t.
Our politicians try to find someone to blame for these problems: banks, immigrants or, for Donald Trump, morons generally. But that older consolidated life could not have survived modernity and is never coming back. It couldn’t have survived globalization, feminism and the sexual revolution, the rising tide of immigration and the greater freedom consumers now enjoy.
Our fundamental problems are the downsides of transitions we have made for good reasons: to enjoy more flexibility, creativity and individual choice.
Levin says the answer is not to dwell in confusing, frustrating nostalgia. It’s through devolving choice and power down to the local face-to-face community level, and thus avoiding the excesses both of rigid centralization and alienating individualism. Experiments happen, and information about how to solve problems flows from the bottom up.
I’d say Levin’s emphasis on subsidiarity and local community is important but insufficient. We live within a golden chain, connecting self, family, village, nation and world. The bonds of that chain have to be repaired at every point, not just the local one.
As in ancient Greece and Rome, local communities won’t survive if the national project disintegrates. Our structural problems are national and global, and require big as well as little reforms. | 2019-04-26T14:17:11 | https://www.kansas.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/article78882212.html |

Beyond colossal loss of human lives, if there is anything perhaps equally overwhelming in Nepal's earthquake tragedy, it is the monumental damage the country's iconic heritage has suffered due to the calamity.
The powerful temblor measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale on Saturday practically levelled the nation's tangible cultural history, robbing it of its architectural jewels, including the landmark Dharhara Tower, in an eerie reminder of the 1934 quake that claimed over 10,000 lives.
The 19th century nine-storey minaret, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which once offered a panoramic view of the Kathmandu Valley, turned into graveyards for over 200 people.
Over 2,000 people have been killed in the wake of the calamity while more than 5,000 are injured.
Built in 1832 by the then Prime Minister of Nepal Bhimsen Thapa, the tower was also extensively damaged in the 8.3-magnitude earthquake of 1934, worst in Nepal's recorded history. It was later rebuilt and opened to the public, only to be reduced to rubble this time.
The architecture of the tower was designed in Mughal and European style. A small statue of Lord Shiva was placed on the top of the tower.
The tower also suffered damages in the 1834 earthquake.
The Kathmandu Valley inscribed in the World Heritage list in 1979 include the Durbar Squares of Hanuman Dhoka (Kathmandu), Patan and Bhaktapur, the Buddhist stupas of Swayambhu and Bauddhanath and the Hindu temples of Pashupati and Changu Narayan.
Tragedy came to revisit all the three Squares, as the sites had suffered extensive damage in the 1934 disaster too.
The brick-and-wood architecture, symbolic of the Himalayan nation, now symbolise death and devastation.
The 1934 earthquake had also robbed Kathmandu of its historic Ghantaghar, as the iconic clocktower was reduced to a heap of debris. And, though the landmark was rebuilt with a new design, a page of history was lost forever.
Kathmandu's Basantapur Palace, built in European-style in 1908 as part of the ancient Royal Palace, has also been extensively damaged.
"The Durbar Squares and the Palace and the Dharhara Tower, they represented us, they represented Nepal and its culture and beauty, and it's all gone now. The loss of inheritance has made bearing the loss of human lives, even more difficult," Luxmee Maharjan, former journalist at the Kathmandu-based Himlayan Times, told PTI.
Many heritage lovers took to social media like Facebook and Twitter to share old, sepia-toned photographs, while some posted recent images, juxtaposing them with their appearance post the tragedy.
"This is what's left of the 9 story historic UNESCO heritage's Dharahara Tower in Kathmandu, #Nepal after #earthquake", posted user @snobers on Twitter.
He juxtaposed the old coloured photo of the Dharhara Tower standing tall with its current reduced-to-rubble look.
Raghu Karnad (@rkarnad) tweeted: "Truly awful sight. Kathmandu's Darbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in ruins after today's earthquake."
"Kalmochan temple is gone. This is the temple I took a photo of 3 days ago. Will post the video of the rubble soon." posted @ShiwaniNeupane on the micro-blogging site on Saturday.
Many well-known temples have also been damaged, some of them extensively.
The 1934 earthquake had completely changed the contours of Kathmandu as the city's architectural fabric was rebuilt after the tragedy, and now with this massive earthquake again levelling the city's landmarks, the capital will never be the same again. | 2019-04-23T22:25:05 | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/massive-earthquake-robs-nepal-of-its-unesco-world-heritage-site/20150426.htm |

The Law of Attraction teaches that our words play an incredibly important part in the lives and happiness we create for ourselves. Our words steer and shape our energies; in either a positive or a negative direction. We are not only susceptible to the words others use but the words we use for ourselves.
Essentially, our words, spoken aloud or internally as thoughts, create our world.
If this is the case, why do so many people still think that it’s ok to talk to themselves in such a negative manner? A lot of people will say things to themselves they wouldn’t dream of saying to a friend. Is this right? Absolutely not. There are just some things you should never say to yourself. They can put you in a negative mindset and can make you doubt your dreams.
Watch out for these 10 things you should never say to yourself.
But the real question is, by whose standards? Stop being so tough on yourself. We can all be our own worst critic, but this shouldn’t be the case. Have you ever heard of the saying ‘we accept the love we think we deserve?’. How do you expect others to recognize your worth when you’re unable to even see it in yourself? Become your biggest cheerleader!
Don’t give up before you’ve even got started. If it’s true that where your mind goes your reality follows, take your mind to that place of confidence and success. Learn to hold what you want in your mind’s eye first and chances are, it’ll soon be yours.
Too many people live in fear of what others may or may not think about them.
However, life’s too short to get caught up in such things. Live your life as YOU; there is no surer guarantee for happiness.
Whoa there! You wouldn’t talk to a stranger in this way, let alone someone you love, so why use such harsh words with yourself? If you do find yourself getting hung up on aspects of yourself you’re unhappy with, resolve to take quick action – beginning by focusing on the things you DO love about yourself.
This is nothing but self-pity talking; how could you know who does or does not love you? We are all worthy of love and if we were to think hard enough, would find that there is love to be found in our lives in even the most unexpected of places. And remember – the more loving you are yourself, the more love you are likely to receive in return.
We all come up against hardships and pain at different points in our lives; however, these are often aspects of our lives that are beyond anybody’s control. So let it go and learn to accept that whilst life can have its difficult moments – it’s the good moments you ought to focus on.
Are you sure about that? Or is this just your insecurities and fears talking? Remember the power of mind over matter – and until you try, you’ll never know how hard it is.
We’ve all had those moments where we’ve wanted nothing more than the ground to swallow us whole. What you have to remember is that everybody has embarrassing moments and that in the grand scheme of things – these really aren’t such a big deal. Laugh it off.
Rather than tormenting yourself by making negative conclusions such as ‘they must not like me’ or thinking harshly of yourself, why not consider the more rational, positive reasons here? It is far more likely that the person in question has been busy or had to handle an unexpected problem. Whatever the reason, it is never as bad as you imagine.
There is no obstacle too big that with the right support, you cannot overcome. Always remember this. Also – it is often when we feel closest to giving up that we are closest to achieving what we want most. So remember – keep going, keep going, keep going!
So, there you go – 10 things you should NEVER say to yourself.
Once you’re able to recognize just how big of an impact your own words can have on your happiness, you’ll never want to say any of the above to yourself ever again. So give more positive self-talk a try – and enjoy the many benefits!
Studies found that positive people are more abundant and achieve goals more often and faster… If you can learn how to be kind to yourself and love yourself, you can develop a more positive mindset. This can also be used to your advantage when you are trying to manifest your dream life and become abundant.
Find out what could be holding you back from having an abundant mindset with this Abundance Test. | 2019-04-20T19:15:43 | http://www.thelawofattraction.com/you-said-what-10-things-you-should-never-say-to-yourself/ |

My desire for an old Toyota Tercel burns strong, perhaps even stronger after watching Toyota itself hoon the crap out of one of their '80s 4WD station wagons.
This is a pair of ads for the Toyota Sprinter Carib (short for Caribou), which we got as the second-gen Tercel wagon. The straight-fours in these cars were still mounted longitudinally back in the first and second generations of the Tercel, making 4WD possible.
I want one of these (or an earlier first gen with the glass hatch) desperately. | 2019-04-19T08:20:13 | https://jalopnik.com/even-toyota-hooned-the-crap-out-of-the-4wd-tercel-wagon-1657697437 |

We are trying to install KB3191566 on Windows 7 systems.
This KB article is not relevant on any system in our environment(when viewed through the Bigfix console) even after having 10000 odd Windows 7 machines. Even after installing it manually and restarting the system, it is not reflecting on Windows 7 systems.
We have even tried deploying it via BigFix, after which the patch is installed but the powershell version is not updated. We have met all pre-requisites.
That’s odd, I’ve been deploying WMF 5.1 to our Win7 endpoints recently and this has worked just fine for us. Are you using the Powershell based script installer, or just the MSU package?
action may require restart "a041e9b51dac5808f400a5498bcd1f1c415ef044"
The only errors I’ve run into with this method are 112, which means there’s not enough space to perform the upgrade, and a very few 14003 (SxS issue) and 3017 (update failed, reboot required to roll back). These are the exceptions to the rule, however.
guys i am facing same issue please help!!! | 2019-04-23T10:35:20 | https://forum.bigfix.com/t/installing-kb3191566/20810 |
