All dislocations require immediate medical attention since fractures can also occur with dislocations.
Initial treatment of a dislocation includes R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression,:
splint/cast - immobilizes the dislocated area to promote alignment and healing; protects)
While dislocations are rare in younger children, they do occur more frequently among adolescents. It is important that the child adhere to the activity restrictions and/or stretching and strengthening rehabilitation programs to prevent re-injury.

By now, most of you are familiar with how this whole LuLaRoe thing works. I admit that I was new to the whole LLR scene but I am definitely feeling a bit more in tune with the whole system. It would appear that we have good news today because there are no more limits on the LulaRoe Collection for Disney!
What does this mean exactly? Well, when I made the announcement that the collection was going to be available last week, it meant that retailers could place their orders of 25 pieces from the collection within the first hour and then try again for more pieces. All of those restrictions have now been lifted and the LuLaRoe Collection for Disney is now regular inventory!
The original release has 5,000 pieces in each print. When they go up and are in stock again, it’s not looking like it will be Mickey/Minnie/aurora/Bambi, but the next stream of characters that will be out. So, if you were hoping for a Carly and your retailer was unable to get one, she won’t be able to get one in one of these original prints at all because they are gone from the warehouse. This first round is such a huge hit, and every style is currently sold out from the warehouse, but not to fret, as Mickey and Minnie are making their way to retailers, over 6 million new pieces with even more characters are on their way to the warehouse!
I hope that helps you with knowing what to expect for this release. It helped me understand a bit clearer. Stay fabulous, fashionistas!

The British Rail Class 87 is a type of electric locomotive built from 1973 to 1975 by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL). 36 of these locomotives were built to work passenger services over the West Coast Main Line (WCML). They were the flagships of British Rail's electric locomotive fleet until the late 1980s, when the Class 90s started to come onstream. The privatisation of British Rail saw all but one of the fleet transferred to Virgin Trains; they continued their duties until the advent of the new Pendolino trains, when they were transferred to other operators or withdrawn. The last Class 87 in UK mainline use was withdrawn from service on 31 December 2007. Most have now been sold for reuse in Bulgaria.

MICHIGAN (WDIV) - A Detroit, Michigan man is in the hospital after a car crash, but it wasn't the crash that injured him. Instead, he was severely beaten afterwards on a nearby street corner.
Nathanial Szczerbinski admitted he caused the wreck because he was driving the wrong way down an unfamiliar Detroit street. He said he stopped and started to turn around when he was struck by a Chevy van. As Szczerbinski got out, he was confronted by the three guys who were in the van.
Police say the men quickly went on the attack, repeatedly punching and kicking Szczerbinski.

Simulated gas processing plant for Papua New Guinea’s oil and gas training academy, says SPEI Director and KPHL CEO, Wapu Sonk, is to build local capacity by training young Papua New Guineans in the country.
They will then be capable of going straight into oil and gas operations..
‘The facility is the first of its kind in the Pacific region.’
First of its kind
The Live Gas Process Training Facility, or simulator, is the first of its kind in the Pacific region.
It replicates a full-size gas processing plant, with live process systems, a centralised control room, emergency protection systems. It has an electrical distribution centre, which provides real-life,’ Sonk tells Business Advantage PNG.
Opportunities
Sixteen of the 32 students were sent to the academy by ExxonMobil, which audited the syllabus, training program and the simulator operations, Sonk says.
‘This training will now be provided in-country, which will put Papua New Guinea ahead.’
SPEI Chairman Isaac Lupari told Business Advantage PNG that said.
The students will also help build the simulator, which Sonk expects to be ready by September.

The Salvador was a ship that sank in the Sea of Marmara on 12 December 1940. It was carrying Jewish emigrants from Bulgaria. The ship sank next to the beach of Silivri, Turkey. There were 238 Jews, 3 crew members, and 2 volunteers on board -204 passengers {including 66 children} were lost. Of 123 survivors-63 were sent back of Bulgaria; the rest resided in Istanbul and were on the immigrant ship Darien II which was intercepted by the British March 29, 1941; the emigrants were interred in Atlit for a year and half. In 1964, the 223 bodies were buried in the National Civil Cemetery of the State of Israel at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. Twenty-one of the bodies were not identified. A memorial for all of the victims was built beside the graves. |
‘4′33″ (In Proportional Notation)’ (1952/53) by Cage. (©2013 John Cage Trust/The Museum of Modern Art)
Is John Cage’s 4’33” the most radical artwork of the 20th century? When it premiered at a concert hall in Woodstock, N.Y., in August 1952, the 39-year-old composer had already proven himself an indefatigable avant-gardist, but this was adventurous even for him. Written for “any instrument or combination of instruments,” it famously asks for four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. But as this delectable show’s title, borrowed from a letter by Cage, suggests, he wasn’t really after silence, but rather all of the other sounds that, by chance, would accompany it. (He reported that, at that first performance, with David Tudor sitting at a piano, there was wind, raindrops and “all kinds of interesting sounds as [audience members] talked or walked out” before it ended.)
Recently minted MoMA curator David Platzker (who previously ran the rare-books outfit Specific Objects) and Jon Hendricks, the museum’s Fluxus consulting curator, argue here that the piece was a decisive moment for vanguard art, making their case with dozens of works by as many artists (including some too-little-seen names like wire sculptor Richard Lippold and outré abstractionist Mark Tobey), who were working at the limits of their disciplines, seeing just how much you could get rid of and still have some sort of artwork. A year before Cage’s silence, in 1951, Robert Rauschenberg wrote out straightforward instructions and diagrams for his brazenly minimal all-white paintings, and a year before that, the Abstract Expressionist painter Barnett Newman chased transcendence in his huge, almost-all-white painting The Voice.
Artists like Marcel Duchamp and Jean Arp had cleared the way for Cage and his compatriots earlier in the century by allowing chance into their work, randomly dropping strings or tearing paper. They’re here, along with artists who picked up Cage’s ball and ran with it, like Nam June Paik, who fed unexposed film through a projector in the early 1960s (showing just dirt and dust) and La Monte Young, who wrote pieces in 1960 like “Turn a butterfly (or any number of butterflies) loose in the performance area,” moving Cage’s ethos into new visual and performance realms. Soon, objects disappeared altogether, with Robert Barry releasing gases into the atmosphere (a poster represents the piece) and Ian Wilson having conversations (a transcript remains). Cage’s focus on instructions, on crafting open-ended situations, also helped lead the way to the Happenings of the 1960s and even the Relational Aesthetics of the 1990s.
It’s exhilarating stuff, and much of it still shocks. But even while opening new avenues in art, works like 4’33” guaranteed their eventual exhaustion—radical freedom has its own limits. So in a clever—cagy?—bit of curating, the organizers have included Cage II, a roughly 7-foot-tall stainless steel cage that Walter De Maria made in 1965 as a response of sorts to the trailblazer, who was a generation older than him. “I think it was partly a recognition of the fact that Cage may have been caging a lot of people,” Mr. De Maria said later, explaining his tribute. |
A television set (also known as a television receiver or televisor or simply a television, TV set, TV receiver or TV) is a machine with a screen or set of lenses. Televisions receive broadcasting signals and change them into pictures and sound. The word "television" comes from the words tele (Greek for far away) and vision (sight).
Sometimes a television can look like a box. Older TVs had a large cathode ray tube in a large wooden frame and sat on the floor like furniture. Newer TVs are much lighter and flatter.
A TV can show pictures from many television networks. Computers and mobile devices also can be used for watching television programs.
The television was invented in the 1920s but the equipment was expensive and the pictures were poor. By the 1950s, these problems had been fixed and TVs became widespread.
At first, all televisions used an antenna (or aerial). This would pick up television programmes from broadcasting stations. A TV station could be many miles or kilometers away, and still be received. TVs can also show movies from VCD and DVD players or VCRs. Cable TV and Satellite television can provide more programs at once than broadcast can. Video game consoles connect to most modern TVs. Some computers can also use a TV as a computer monitor.
All TVs have screens where the picture is viewed. Before the 1950s these were usually "black and white", which made everything look grey, but all modern TVs show colors. Most 20th century screens also had rounded corners. That is because television screens were cathode ray tubes. These are like heavy glass jars with one side bulging out to form the screen.
Today flat panel displays are the usual kind. These are usually flat rectangles with straight edges. This long rectangle looks more like the shape of a movie theatre screen. This is called widescreen. If a widescreen set was 30 cm tall, it would be 53 cm wide. For this to work best, TV shows also need to be made in widescreen. Widescreen sets can still be any size, but they have the same widescreen shape.
The early 21st century is also when digital television transmission became more common than analog television.

Talmud and Modern Economics
- By danadler
- 31 December, 2014. His website is here.
Prof. Aumann received Nobel Prize in Economics in 2005 for his work on conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis. He shared the prize with Thomas Schelling. You can find his complete Nobel lecture on the incentives which lead nations to War and Peace here.
In the following series of video lectures, Aumann makes some very interesting connections between the Talmud and modern economic theory. Prof. Aumann’s original slides from the lecture are available here.
Fixing the World: Exorbitant Ransom
The first topic is related to Prof. Aumann’s prize-winning research in the area of incentives in game-theory. Game-theory is a study of strategic decision making. Specifically, it is “the study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers”.
Rational decision makers in game-theory prefer outcomes that maximize their gain (or minimize their loss). A person’s behavior is considered rational if his actions are in his best interests, given his information. This doesn’t mean that there is no place for altruistic motives, but we would still like to avoid negative incentives which discourage people from “doing the right thing”.
At 7:10 minutes in the video, prof. Aumann explains that in the Talmud “Tikkun Olam” (תיקון עולם), which literally means “Fixing the world”, always refers to a law (Halacha) which needs to be amended because it empirically creates negative incentives. Even though the law was intended to have a positive effect on society, the negative incentives it creates result in a negative outcome for society: people find it difficult to “do the right thing”, or are incentivized to “do the wrong thing”.
Aumann mentions Gittin Chapter 4, which has several examples of this principle. One example deals with paying exorbitant ransoms for captives:
“No more money must be paid for the redemption of captives than what they are really worth, due to tikkun olam.”
As Aumann explains, paying exorbitant ransoms creates a negative incentive. Although redemption of captives (פדיון שבויים) was meant to be a humanitarian law, in reality it was found that paying exorbitant ransoms creates incentives for criminals to kidnap. We see this in modern times when Israel’s willingness to free 1,000 prisoners for Gilad Shalit has created an incentive for Hamas to try and kidnap more Israeli soldiers. This is what Aumann means by negative incentives, and removing such incentives is what the Talmud means by “Tikkun Olam”.
Aumann even brings a reference from Maimonides which explicitly states that “Prisoners should not be redeemed for unreasonably high ransoms, so that enemies should not pursue people to kidnap them.” (Maimonides, Codex, Laws of Charity, Chapter 8, Section 12).
Fixing the World: Prozbul
In the next segment, Prof. Aumann continues an example from Part 1 about modern day Vietnam, and then explains topic of Prozbul.
The Torah mandates a Sabbatical year, known as Shmita, every seventh year, which, among other things, cancels all debts. This is one of the many laws in the Torah meant to protect the poor and disadvantaged, affording them a chance to escape from eternal debt. But, Aumann explains, when applied in practice, the law created an unforeseen negative incentive: lenders stopped lending as the 7th year approached, because they did not want to lose their money. This had a negative effect on the economy and on the poor, and so Hillel found a way to effectively cancel the law by assigning the debt to someone else for a year and reinstating it thereafter.
Price Control and Competition
At 3:45 minutes, Aumann starts his second example: price control and competition. He starts by quoting the biblical source (Deutoronomy 25):
The Talmudic discussion on this topic takes place in Bava Batra 89:
The sage Shmuel tells his assistant named Karna (literally: Horn) to appoint supervisors to oversee the fairness of scales and measures in the marketplace but not to oversee the fairness of prices. Karna disobeys him and proceeds to enforce “fair” prices, and Shmuel curses him that he may grow a horn between his eyes (hence the playful name “unicorn” for this topic in Aumann’s slides).
Aumann claims that the Talmud was in favor of government regulation of scales and measures, but against centralized price controls. In other words: create incentives to keep the merchants honest, but don’t create incentives for fixing prices, because the free market already has the right incentives built-in: competition. The argument continues in part 3:
Aumann gives the commentary of the Rashbam (Rashi’s grandson, who replaced his commentary when he died in the middle of Bava Batra) which states that if one person sells for an exorbitantly high price, then there is an incentive for someone else to sell at a lower price, and the buyers have an incentive to buy from that person, which will force the first seller to lower his prices as well. Here is a hebrew script of the commentary:
Aumann’s translation is as follows:
At 4:00 minutes, Aumann makes the point that while you may argue that the economics of free market prices are only implicitly favored in the Talmud, you cannot deny that the idea that the market will “self-regulate” its prices is stated very explicitly in the Rashbam commentary (which dates back to the 12th century). This concept of the “invisible hand” that guides the market to fair pricing is usually credited to Adam Smith in his 18th century classic The Wealth Of Nations.
Moral Hazard (Ten Stores)
At 7:20 minutes, Aumann starts his next example: moral hazard. He brings a famous story which is repeated multiple times in the Talmud. This excerpt is from Ketubot 15:
In English: “There are 10 stores, all selling kosher meat, except one, which is selling non-kosher meat. If a man buys from one, but doesn’t remember which one, then due to the doubt, the meat is forbidden; but if he found the meat, we go by the majority.”
In the 4th segment, prof. Aumann explains this case using the modern concept of moral hazard. A risky situation is said to be fraught with “moral hazard” if the outcome is determined (or may be affected) by the actions of an interested party.
The example Aumann gives to illustrate “moral hazard” is this: a person wants to buy insurance for his house which is worth $500K. He pays the premium, and then offers the insurance company to buy two policies, each for $500K. Any rational insurance company would have to refuse. Why? Because it’s a “moral hazard”: the person would then have an incentive to burn down his house, because the payoff from insurance is higher than the payoff from selling. This gets back to Aumann’s idea that real-life decisions are influenced by positive and negative incentives: “moral hazard” can occur whenever your own actions influence the probability that an adverse event will occur. This is a problem for insurance companies, because their premiums are calculated based on the assumption that there is incentive for the owner to keep his house safe.
Getting back to the Talmud, Aumann explains why this is a classic “moral hazard” situation: the person who bought the meat forgot at which store he bought it. But since he was the one who bought it, and he already spent the money, then, consciously or subconsciously, he has an incentive to think that he probably bought it at the kosher store, because then he won’t have to throw it away. This is the essence of the moral hazard: when results of your own actions influence what is supposed to be an independent probability calculation. Some may be able to resist the incentive to cheat, but others may not, so the Talmud takes that into account and removes the incentive.
This is why the Talmud adds the second case: suppose he found the meat. In that case, the choice of which store the meat came from was not in the person’s own hands, so the probability can be computed objectively, and in this case there is a 9/10 (90%) chance that the meat is kosher, so the person can eat it (“go by the majority” means more than 50% probability).
Median Voting (Multiple Appraisers)
One example that is in prof. Aumann’s slides, but not in this particular video (there are many other lectures of his online) is the case of multiple appraisers: if you get 3 appraisals for your house, should you always take the average or the median?
The surprising game-theory answer is given by the Median Voting Theorem: “a majority rule voting system will select the outcome most preferred by the median voter”. The median rule turns out to be the optimal aggregation strategy for single-peaked preferences, as explained by the following video:
The wikipedia article about the median voter theorem gives a simple example to illustrate the idea, but prof. Aumann found even simpler examples in the Talmud.
Aumann’s English translation and explanation is as follows:
The modern-day explanation is simply that in both cases we select the median, rather than the mean, but the Talmud and commentary bring logical arguments. The latter case is actually the simplest. If one says 100, one says 80 and one says 120, then we pick the average which is 100. But what if two of them agree? In that case, the average leaves the majority unhappy. So, the Talmud adds the first part: if any two of the appraisers agree, then they choose by the majority. This is the same result as would be given by the median voter theorem.
The Three Widows (Consistent Fair Division)
This example is one of prof. Aumann’s most well-known and complicated results. He was the first modern scholar to show that the Talmud’s solution can be explained with modern game-theory.
The problem and the solution are stated in Ketubot 93a (and let’s dodge the issue of how a man can have 3 wives, and why he promises them different inheritances in their ketubot):
“If a man with three wives dies, one has a ketuba of 100 zuz, one of 200, and one of 300, and there is only 100 in the estate, then they divide equally.
If there is 200, then the one of 100 takes 50, and those of 200 and 300, 75 each.
If there is 300, then the one of 100 takes 50, the one of 200 takes 100, and the one of 300 takes 150.”
In the following diagram, the amounts promised to each wife are shown on the top row and the amounts available for inheritance are shown the left column. Each inner cell then shows how much each widow would get in the 3 cases where the deceased left 100, 200 or 300 respectively:
The last case, where the man left over a sum of 300, is to be divided according to the ratios of the promised amounts. This seems obvious. But why is the first case divided equally? And why is the second case divided 50 to the first and then 75 each to the other two? At first glance, this seems inconsistent. Indeed, this has been a mystery for centuries until prof. Aumann provided the mathematical explanation.
You can read prof. Aumann’s paper, which explains why the solution in the Talmud is consistent with game-theory, and watch him explain it in the next video segment: |
The Bakerloo line () is a line of the London Underground. It is coloured brown on the Tube map. It runs partly on the surface and partly at deep level, from Elephant & Castle in south-east to Wealdstone in north-west of London. The lines serves 25 stations of which 15 are underground. The line is around long.
The line gets its name because it goes through the stations Baker Street tube station and Waterloo tube station. North of Queens Park, the line runs next to the West Coast Main Line.
Stations
Note: For the former Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo line, see the Jubilee line article.
Extension to Camberwell
The extension to Camberwell was a plan to extend the Bakerloo Line. The project was to start at the late 1940s, but they cancelled it for an unknown reason. Then in the 21st century, they revised the extension plan and proposed it again. So far, nothing has been agreed. The 1940s version of the extension had two stations. One rumour of why they cancelled the project was because Camberwell was quite a bad location to do further extensions.
Former Stations
Watford Branch
Between 1917 and 1982, Bakerloo line trains continued along the DC line past Harrow & Wealdstone to Watford Junction. These stations continue to be served by London Overground.
Stanmore branch
The Stanmore branch was originally constructed by the Metropolitan Railway (now the Metropolitan line) and was transferred to the Bakerloo line in 1939. It was transferred to the Jubilee line on 1 May 1979. It connected to the main line at Baker Street.

Tuesday around 5 pm I was pumping gas at the Canadian Tire Gas Bar on Dougall when I witnessed a Black Pickup hit a child on a bike as he was pulling out of parking lot child was coming from the left and the truck hit the child on the right front bumper knocking the child to the ground and bike ended up under the truck. Driver did get out but in less then 10 seconds jumped back in his truck and turned right. The child proceeded slowly toward the shoppers drug mart there was a gentleman who said he was a patient transport person I asked him to walk over to shoppers to check on the child he did and came back said child was fine. Being a mother I think the child was in shock. If your child rides a blue bike and wears grey backpack and locks his bike up when he goes into shoppers around this area please ask them if it was them and make sure they are ok. It happened so fast I was shaking and unable to get or give any more information but As a parent I would want to know if my child was involved in a hit and run and some person didn't even have the decency to stay more then 10 second. The truck was gone before the child even picked up his bike. |
Nicolas de Ovando (Brozas, 1460 - Seville, 1511) was a Spanish soldier from a noble family and a knight of the Order of Alcantara. He was governor of Hispaniola from 1502 until 1509.
Early life
Nicolas de Ovando was born in 1460 in the town of Brozas, in Extremadura, Spain. His family was very religious and, when young, he joined the military religious Order of Alcantara where, in 1478, he was named Comendador de Lares (Commander of Lares), a very important position in the Order.
Governor of Hispaniola
As Commander of Lares, he was very appreciated by the Spanish Catholic Kings and, in particular, by Queen Isabella. On 3 September 1501 (Oviedo said in 1502), he was named as Governor of Hispaniola and of all lands discovered in America.
On 13 February, 1502 he went out of the port of Sanlucar de Barrameda, Spain to go to the Hispaniola island with a fleet of 32 ships. On the fleet, there were 2,500 people, including priests, soldiers and colonists (some of them with their families), who were going to live in the Hispaniola. Among those colonists was Bartolome de las Casas, later known as the Protector of the Indians, and also Francisco Pizarro, who conquered the Inca Empire.
The plan of Ovando was to develop the West Indies economically and expand the Spanish influence in the region.
Ovando got in Santo Domingo on 15 April 1502.
Administration
The administration of Ovando in Hispaniola was one of great cruelty toward the Taino Indians. When the Spaniards came to the island in 1492, the native population was 400,000 (estimated) but in 1508 there were only 60,000 Indians.
Because the new colonists needed more workers for the gold mines and farms, they brought, as slaves, Indians from the Lucayas (now, the Bahamas) islands. Then they brought slaves from Spain (Ladinos, that is, of Africa origin but born in Spain); those were the first African slaves brought to America.
Ovando founded several cities (or ordered their foundations) on Hispaniola, among them: Compostela de Azua (or Azua de Compostela), Santa Maria de la Vera Paz, Bayaja (today, Fort Liberte, in Haiti), Salvatierra de la Sabana (today, Les Cayes, in Haiti), Salvaleon de Higuey, Cotui, Puerto Plata, Santa Cruz de Hicayagua (today, Santa Cruz del Seibo, Dominican Republic).
Ovando sent Andres Morales to explore completely the Hispaniola island. Morales made the most complete map of the island. Sebastian de Ocampo was sent to find out if Cuba was an island or part of the continent; after 8 or 10 months, Ocampo came back with the information that Cuba was an island. In 1508, Juan Ponce de Leon was sent with 50 men to conquer the island of San Juan (now the island of Puerto Rico).
In 1509, Ovando went back to Spain where he was made Comendador Mayor ("Head Commander") of the Order of Alcantara. During a meeting of the Order in Seville, Spain, he died on 29 May 1511 (Oviedo said in 1518). He was buried in the Church of San Benito, in the city of Alcantara, Extremadura, Spain. |

Gelderland or Guelders is a province in the east of the Netherlands. The capital city is Arnhem, but Nijmegen and Apeldoorn are bigger. Other important cities are Zutphen, Doetinchem, Harderwijk and Tiel. About 2,097,000 people are living in Gelderland (2021).
It is surrounded by the provinces of Limburg, North Brabant, South Holland, Utrecht, Flevoland and Overijssel and the German federal state North Rhine-Westphalia.
The most important rivers are the Rhine (Rijn), the Waal, the IJssel and the Maas (border with North Brabant). The border with Flevoland is formed by the so-called randmeer ("border lake") of the Flevopolder.
History
In the 11th century, Guelders was a county. It was called Gelre in Dutch and Geldern in German. In 1339, it became a duchy. At first, it existed of the surroundings of the city of Geldern (now in Germany). By the end of the 14th century, it included most of the modern province of Gelderland and parts of the province of Limburg and of the German District of Cleves. It became part of the Habsburg Netherlands in 1543, one of the Seventeen Provinces. |
Abstract
Interleukin 1 (IL-1) has been reported to stimulate the polyubiquitination and disappearance of IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) within minutes. It has been thought that the polyubiquitin chains attached to IRAK1 are linked via Lys48 of ubiquitin, leading to its destruction by the proteasome and explaining the rapid IL-1-induced disappearance of IRAK1. In this paper, we demonstrate that IL-1 stimulates the formation of K63-pUb-IRAK1 and not K48-pUb-IRAK1 and that the IL-1-induced disappearance of IRAK1 is not blocked by inhibition of the proteasome. We also show that IL-1 triggers the interaction of K63-pUb-IRAK1 with NEMO, a regulatory subunit of the I kappa B alpha kinase (IKK) complex, but not with the NEMO [D311N] mutant that cannot bind K63-pUb chains. Moreover, unlike wild-type NEMO, the NEMO[D311N] mutant was unable to restore IL-1-stimulated NF-kappa B-dependent gene transcription to NEMO-deficient cells. Our data suggest a model in which the recruitment of the NEMO-IKK complex to K63-pUb-IRAK1 and the recruitment of the TAK1 complex to TRAF6 facilitate the TAK1-catalyzed activation of IKK by the TRAF6-IRAK1 complex.

Luck of the Irish brings fun for the family
As a grown-up (and a mom), I’m supposed to be sensible. Luckily for me, the holidays bring out my inner child, and my playful side shines brightly to make the day extra special for my family. The best traditions with my children started because of my need to celebrate the happiness in our lives. St. Patrick’s Day is a great holiday to let loose, share playful pranks and talk in funny Irish accents.
Here are four sure ways to bring the luck of the Irish to your family.
Festive decorations
Holidays are magical when your home reflects each new season.
• Use green fabric, shamrock patterns, rainbow prints, etc., to create custom pillow cases for your family.
• Add pops of festive green color to your decor by making shamrocks from colored paper, or purchase easy, cost-effective decorations from the nearest dollar store to create a wonderland of rainbows, magic and leprechaun mischief.
• Leave lip prints on the bathroom mirror for your spouse with the famous saying "Kiss me, I'm Irish." Your sweetie will enjoy the added romance and playfulness you are bringing into your relationship.
Creativity in the kitchen
For us, many of our good traditions began in the kitchen. Grab your kids and a few ingredients, and create memories of fun by getting creative.
• Make Lucky Charms treats. Use the regular Rice Krispies treat recipe with Lucky Charms cereal instead.
• Use Kool-Aid to make rainbow-colored ice cubes to add to any lemon-lime soda.
• Bake rainbow treats (cookies, cupcakes, etc.) with rainbow sprinkles, M&M’s or Skittles. Write a note to your neighbor explaining they are worth more than a pot of gold. Leave the baked goodies on your neighbor’s porch and give your children the gift of sharing the holiday spirit.
Dress for the occasion
• Wearing green is easier than ever with dollar stores, Wal-Mart, thrift stores, etc.
• Paint fingernails.
• Using makeup or colored ribbons is never going over the top.
• Ties, hats, beads and hair-coloring products all add to the pleasure of the holiday.
• Remember, dressing up is part of the holiday cheer. Take oodles of “selfies” in your rockin’ shamrock gear. Be proud to be celebratory.
A playful shenanigan or two
Leprechauns are playful, and nothing makes me happier than playing shenanigans on my family.
• Color the toilet water green and place small green footprints on the toilet seat, across the bathroom mirror and in the shower.
• Encourage your child to be creative. Catching a leprechaun is a very big deal. Legend says the lucky culprit who catches a leprechaun is granted three wishes. Use items around the house to set a leprechaun trap. Use tiny gold coins or Rolo minis as bait. Wait until your child is busy, grab the coins, leave Skittles in place of the gold coins as “rainbow seeds” and drop the trap. It's an amusing game.
• Create a rainbow explosion. Using various colors of crepe paper, decorate the living room, kitchen, bathroom, staircase or your spouse’s car on the morning of St. Patrick’s Day.
• Replace the bathroom lights with green bulbs.
• Replace your child’s or spouse’s shoelaces with green ribbon or green laces.
• And of course, the classic trick — turn all your food green. Green milk, green pancakes, green mashed potatoes, green rice, etc. If you are concerned about using store-bought green food coloring, try an all-natural technique of boiling broccoli or spinach in one cup of water for about 30 minutes and draining the liquid to add to foods such as rice or mashed potatoes. Soaked pistachios make a great paste to add to dessert items. You could also simply add colorful menu items to your dishes and celebrate with rainbow style of variety.
Lastly, remember to have fun. When you are happy, your family is happy. I once used a name generator on Facebook, and it called me “Princess Sweetsparkle.” Give your family “lucky leprechaun” nicknames. Your children will giggle with glee at being called silly things like Bubbly Sparkling Pants, Smiling Rainbow Lips or Lucky Golden Smile. Write it on a “lucky shamrock” and use the same shamrock each year to remind your family of the joy the luck of the Irish can bring.

Walleye (Sander vitreus) is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and to the northern United States.
It is a North American close relative of the European pikeperch.
The walleye is sometimes also called the yellow walleye to distinguish it from the blue walleye, which is an extinct subspecies formerly found in the southern Great Lakes. |

Nuclear espionage is sharing a country's secrets about nuclear weapons to other countries without permission. Since nuclear weapons have been invented, there have been many cases of known nuclear espionage, and also many cases where it has thought to have happened, but has not been proven. Because nuclear weapons are usually considered the most important of state secrets, all nations with nuclear weapons have strict rules against sharing information about how nuclear weapons are designed, where they are kept, and other things about them. There are also rules that keep countries who have signed non-proliferation agreements (which are meant to stop the spread of nuclear weapons) from sharing information about such weapons with the public.
Manhattan Project
During the Manhattan Project, which was when the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada worked together during World War II to make the first nuclear weapons, there was much nuclear espionage in which scientists or technicians working for the project sent information about bomb development and designs to the Soviet Union. These people are often called the Atomic Spies, and their work continued into the early Cold War. There has been much disagreement over the exact details of these cases, though some of this was settled when VENONA Project transcripts were made public. These were secret messages between Soviet agents and the Soviet government that were discovered and decoded. Some issues remain unsettled, however.
Some of the most well known of these were :
Klaus Fuchs - A physicist who had escaped Germany and who worked with the British at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. He was eventually discovered. He confessed, and was sentenced to jail in Britain. He was later released, and he moved to East Germany. Because of his close connection to many parts of the project, and his deep technical knowledge, he is considered to have been the most valuable of the "Atomic Spies" in terms of the information he gave to the Soviet Union about the American fission bomb program. He also gave early information about the American hydrogen bomb program but since he was not there at the time that the successful Teller-Ulam design was discovered, his information on this is not thought to have been of much value.
Theodore Hall - a young American physicist at Los Alamos, whose spying was not revealed until very late in the twentieth century. He was never arrested because of his spying, and never completely admitted it.
David Greenglass - an American machine worker at Los Alamos National Laboratory during the Manhattan Project. Greenglass confessed that he gave rough diagrams of lab experiments to the Soviet Union during World War II. Some parts of his testimony against his sister and brother-in-law (the Rosenbergs, see below) are now thought to have been made up to try to keep his own wife out of trouble. Greenglass admitted spying and was given a long prison term.
George Koval - The American born son of a family that was from Belarus. He moved to the Soviet Union where he joined the Red Army and the GRU intelligence service. He found his way into the US Army, and became a radiation health officer. He got information about the Urchin detonator used on the plutonium bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. His work was not known to the United States until 2007, when he was recognized after his death as a hero of the Russian Federation by Vladimir Putin.
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg - Americans who were supposedly involved in coordinating and recruiting an episonage network which included David Greenglass. While most scholars believe that Julius was likely involved in some sort of network, whether or not Ethel was involved or aware of the activities remains a matter of dispute. Julius and Ethel refused to confess to any charges, and were convicted and executed at Sing-Sing Prison.
Harry Gold - American, admitted working for Greenglass and Fuchs.
The Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb in 1949. There is disagreement over whether this spying helped the Soviet Union make an atomic bomb faster. While some of the information given, such as information given by Klaus Fuchs, could probably have been very helpful, the way the people in charge of the Soviet bomb project actually used the information has led later scholars to think it did not actually speed up the Soviet Union's process of making bombs much. According to this account, the information was mostly used as a "check" against the Soviet Union's own scientists' work, and little of it was actually shared with the Soviet scientists because neither their scientists nor spies were trusted much. Later scholarship has also shown that the biggest problem with the Soviets' early development was not problems designing the weapons, but rather problems getting the materials.
Israel
In 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, who had worked at a nuclear facility in Israel, gave information about Israel's nuclear weapons program to the British press. People had thought before that Israel had an advanced and secretive nuclear weapons program and collection, but now they knew for sure. Israel has never said that it does or does not have a nuclear weapons program, and Vanunu was kidnapped and smuggled to Israel, where he was convicted of treason and espionage.
Whether Vanunu was technically involved in espionage is debated: Vanunu and his supporters say that he should be called a whistle-blower (someone who was exposing something secret and illegal), while his opponents think that he is a traitor and that what he did helped enemies of Israel. After Vanunu left Israel, he did not give his information right away. He travelled for about a year before doing so.
People's Republic of China
In a 1999 report of the United States House of Representatives Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China, chaired by Rep. Christopher Cox (called the Cox Report), it was revealed that U.S. security agencies thought there was nuclear espionage going on by the People's Republic of China (PRC) at American nuclear weapons design laboratories. The report said that China had "stolen classified information on all of the United States' most advanced thermonuclear warheads" since the 1970s, including the design of advanced warheads, the neutron bomb, and "weapons codes" which allow for computer simulations of nuclear testing (and allow China to advance their weapon development without doing its own tests). The United States apparently did not know of this until 1995.
The investigations described in the report eventually led to the arrest of Wen Ho Lee, a scientist at Los Alamos, who was at first accused of giving weapons information to China. The case against Lee eventually fell apart, however, and he was eventually charged only with mishandling of data. Other people and groups arrested or fined were scientist Peter Lee (not related to Wen Ho Lee), who was arrested for allegedly giving submarine radar secrets to China, and Loral Space & Communications and Hughes Electronics, who gave China missile secrets. No other arrests from the theft of the nuclear designs have been made.
Pakistan
In January 2004, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, a Pakistani nuclear scientist, admitted selling restricted nuclear weapons technology to Libya, Iran, and North Korea. According to his testimony and reports from intelligence agencies, Khan sold designs for centrifuges used to enrich uranium and Chinese designs for a nuclear warhead, and sold centrifuges themselves to these three countries. Khan had previously been said to have taken gas centrifuge designs from a uranium enrichment company in the Netherlands (URENCO) which he used to help Pakistan's own nuclear weapons program get started. On February 5, 2004, the president of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf, said that he had pardoned Khan. Pakistan's government says that they had no part in the espionage, but refuses to turn Khan over for questioning by the International Atomic Energy Agency. |

Hyperion is a moon of Saturn. It was discovered on September 16, 1848 by William Cranch Bond, George Phillips Bond and William Lassell. It is irregular in shape, and has a sponge-like appearance. It is the second largest irregular (i.e. not spherical) moon in the Solar System, the largest being Proteus. It was the first non-spherical moon discovered. Its rotation is chaotic, meaning its axis of rotation wobbles, unlike how the Earth and the Moon rotate, or any other moon in the Solar System.

- "Here's some advice. Stay alive."
- ―Haymitch Abernathy to Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark[src]
Haymitch Abernathy was the only living Hunger Games victor from District 12, having survived.
Biography
Haymitch
Haymitch Abernathy was the second victor from District 12, who won the 50th Hunger Games when he was sixteen. He also is the the only living victor in District 12 and he mentored twenty three years of tributes before the novel begins.
Second Quarter Quell
Haymitch was reaped in the second Quarter Quell along with another male tribute, Maysilee Donner and another female tribute. During his interview with Caesar Flickerman, Haymitch is asked about what he thinks of the Games having twice as many tributes; he replies by saying he doesn't see much difference as they are going to be just as stupid.
When the bloodbath of the 50th Hunger Games took place, many tributes were amazed by the beautiful arena, and many of the tributes were too stunned to get off their pedestal early. Therefore, Haymitch was able to easily get a knife and a "backpack of choice" from the Cornucopia. At an uncertain point of time, Haymitch runs into three Career tributes. He is able to take out two tributes with his sharp knife, but the third Career tribute gets him and is about to slit his throat until his attacker is shot in the back with a poison dart by Maysilee Donner, one of his fellow District partner, and saves his life. He then forms a temporary alliance with her. The two of them walk to the end of the arena thinking that something useful could be there.
Near the end of the Games, when there are only a few tributes were alive, they reach the end of the arena and saw nothing. Maysilee suggests going back, but Haymitch refuses to leave. Maysilee then breaks up the alliance, not wanting to kill him, herself. After her departure, Haymitch kicks a pebble off the edge of a cliff, and it bounces back to the spot. He picks up a rock and throws it off the cliff, and the force field around the arena throws it back. Moments later Haymitch hears Maysilee screaming and runs in her direction to find her being attacked by deadly candy pink birds, who spear her throat with their razor sharp beaks right as he gets there. Haymitch rushes over to her side, just as Katniss did to Rue, and holds her hand until she dies.
Later in the Games, a tribute dies in hand to hand combat then another tribute is eaten by man eating squirrels leaving two tributes left to vie for the crown.
Haymitch and one of District 1's female tributes make it to the final two, and they fight, but both are severely injured. Haymitch, at one point, slices her eye out, and later is disarmed and hit in his stomach by her axe. A weakened Haymitch rushes to the cliff while holding his intestines in and reaches the cliff with the District 1 female right behind him. Haymitch falls to his knees due to his injuries..
In Mockingjay, it is revealed that two weeks after he was crowned victor of the second Quarter Quell his mother, younger brother and girlfriend were all killed by President Snow because of the stunt that Haymitch pulled with the axe and force field. For the next 23 years, Haymitch trains the tributes for District 12 alone. Due to the horror of the Games, his grief over his family's deaths, and the fact that every tribute he trained was killed in the arena, Haymitch turns to drinking and isolates himself from the rest of District 12. He begins sleeping with a knife in his hand and refuses to let anyone into his house. Katniss later mentions that it was as if he had sentenced himself to solitary confinement.
The Hunger Games
Haymitch's Capitol Portrait for The Hunger Games.
Haymitch first appears when he goes on stage during the reaping. Drunk and staggering, he head-dives off the stage. He is then seen on the train taking Katniss and Peeta to the Capitol, drunk again, and vomits on the expensive floor, which disgusts Effie. Peeta cleans him up, washes him and puts him to bed. The next morning, he eats breakfast with Katniss and Peeta and gets into a fight with him. Katniss breaks it up by throwing a knife between Haymitch's hand and his drink glass. He is pleased to have finally gotten a pair who will put up a fight. He examines them and begins to formulate a plan for them.
Haymitch attempts to teach Peeta and Katniss about survival skills.
During the parade he is surprised by Katniss and Peeta's costumes and takes this advantage by making more future plans to help them. He takes them and tells them about their training for the games and asks if they want to be trained together or privately. He learns their skills during an argument with them while on the train. He tells them to train and learn new things at the training center, to avoid practicing the skills they excel in, and to stay by each other's side.
Haymitch giving Katniss advice.
He is humored and laughs when Katniss tells him how the Gamemakers looked after she almost shot them with an arrow. He is pleased with their training scores and tells Katniss she got a high score due to her attitude. Later he informs her that Peeta changed his mind and asked to be coached in private. He tries to teach Katniss how to speak in front of the crowd during her interview with Caesar Flickerman, but fails and is only angered, saying she has the charm of a dead slug. Before the games begin he tells them to stay alive...the answer he gave them the first time Katniss asked him for a strategy.During the Games, Haymitch helps Effie line up sponsors. He also communicates with Katniss through the giving or withholding of her sponsor gifts (he does not send water when she is close to a source, sends broth and medicine when she "plays her part" convincingly). He does not help Peeta during the Games as only one of them could live, and he knew Katniss stood the best chance, although it is implied that Peeta may have told him to help Katniss and not him. He is thrilled when both of them come back alive and hugs them both. Before Katniss goes to her final interview with Caesar, he tells her that the Capitol is furious about her and Peeta's act in the arena with the berries,
Cinna, Haymitch and Peeta
Catching Fire
In Catching Fire, Haymitch's drinking becomes progressively worse. At times, he gets so drunk that he sleeps for most of the day. At the beginning of the book, Haymitch is passed out and drunk. Katniss fails in her first attempt of shaking him awake, so she resorts to dumping a bucket of water on him. This results in a startled Haymitch who begins to slash randomly in all directions and yell. When he calms down, Katniss tells him about the encounter with President Snow, how he told her how the other districts are on the verge of rebelling, and that the "star-crossed lovers" act must be believed by everyone if she plans on keeping her family and friends alive.When the time comes for the victory tour, Haymitch accompanies Katniss and Peeta along with Effie Trinket and their stylists and prep teams. He coaches Katniss through the "madly in love" facade which she must keep up with Peeta. Haymitch is surprised and somewhat disgusted by Katniss losing her temper with Effie after she complains about the train's unplanned stop. Haymitch helps them through preparation for their victory speech they must give to the grieving families of the District 11 tributes, Thresh and Rue.
Haymitch, Peeta and Katniss after Gale whipped by Romulus.
Haymitch and Plutarch
When Katniss blows up the force field and is in the hovercraft that rescues Katniss, Finnick and Beetee, he, Finnick and Plutarch gather together and talk about what has happened. When Katniss enters the room he is annoyed and explains everything that has recently happened. Katniss is enraged with all Haymitch's lies that she cuts his face with her nails and since he cannot attack her they both yell at each other until she is taken away.
Mockingjay
Haymitch in Mockingjay
When the group returns and receives medical treatment, they meet in the command room. Haymitch, along with the others, discusses the propo. They decide to allow Katniss to go back into combat and shoot more propos after she is fully recovered. Haymitch is mad at Katniss for removing her earpiece and shows signs of vengeful thoughts towards her. She makes sure not to be left alone with him. When Katniss returns to her hospital bed, Haymitch enters and talks to her for awhile. He later goes back to the command room to discuss topics and other objectives that must be taken care of with the head of the rebellion.
After Peeta's interview, Haymitch clarifies that Peeta gave a hint about an attack that is going be launched by the Capitol. District 13 does not believe him, but Katniss does, and the citizens begin to panic. Haymitch and the other head members of the rebellion begin to form a plan for the impending attack. Haymitch informs Katniss about the rescue team to save Peeta, Johanna, Enobaria, and Annie from the Capitol and tells her Gale was the first to volunteer to be a member of the rescue team.
Haymitch comforts Katniss, who is sad because she did not go along with them. She asks him if they need her help and he informs her she could shoot propos to air during the rescue mission. He explained to her that two weeks after he was crowned victor, President Snow killed his mother, younger brother and girlfriend. Around midnight, Haymitch informs them the rescue party has made it back safely and they go to meet them.
Haymitch goes to District 2 with the others. He meets Lyme and attempts to think of a plan to attack a mountain nicknamed "The Nut" and take control of District 2. Gale pulls a plan together where they would blow up the inside of the Nut, which Haymitch does not fully agree with.
After the rebellion, he, alongside Peeta and Katniss, goes back to District 12 and drinks and raises geese.
Work
Haymitch doesn't work, he drinks alcoholic beverages, but before the war, he mentored tributes annually. However, after the war he raises geese in addition to obsessively drinking. Haymitch probably gets most of his money from the Capitol's Victors monthly allowance.
Physical description
Haymitch's Capitol Portrait for Catching Fire
Haymitch is described as paunchy and middle-aged in The Hunger Games. In Catching Fire, he is described as formerly being young, strong, and "something of a looker" 25 years ago when he won the games; he had curly dark hair and gray Seam eyes that are bright.
Relationships
It is mentioned in Mockingjay that two weeks after being crowned victor, his girlfriend, mother, and younger brother were all killed by the Capitol due to the stunt he pulled with the force field in the 50th Hunger Games. He made the Capitol look stupid, being the only one to know the advantage of the force field.
Katniss Everdeen
Haymitch and Katniss before Katniss leaves to go to the arena.
Haymitch first meets Katniss when she volunteered to go in instead of Prim at the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. He stated that she had "spunk." He was impressed by Katniss but he collapsed afterwards because he was drunk, falling off the stage. At first, he dismissed her as well as Peeta but decides that they may be worthy of winning the Games after they gang up on him. Katniss is convinced that Haymitch hates her and he does not try to contradict her. He is hard on them but his teachings are the only things that help them through the Games. During the Games, Katniss and Haymitch, albeit being apart, develop an understanding and a strong bond is forged. Katniss and Haymitch communicate through Haymitch's gifts. If he didn't send much food, or none at all, he was telling Katniss to play up the "love" act. Katniss responds well and they communicate without Peeta knowing until the train ride home. Haymitch is the first whom Katniss thanks when she leaves the arena.
In Catching Fire, Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch are closer and always deal with whatever threat comes in front of them. Haymitch keeps his role as a mentor despite the end of the Games.
After Peeta is captured by the Capitol, Katniss becomes angry with Haymitch and rejects him. It isn't until she decides to be the Mockingjay that they speak again. Haymitch cares about her, understanding her more than others. For instance, when she realizes how Snow is using Peeta, Katniss runs to Haymitch as she breaks down, for they both care about him. Later, Katniss goes to Haymitch to confide in him her idea of Coin killing Prim, and when he teases her, causing her to flee, he tries to follow her (but trips) and later tries to get her to talk of her problems. He continues to be her "mentor" when she is sent back to District 12.
Peeta Mellark
Haymitch and Peeta did not get off on the right foot, they fought each other on the train ride to the Capitol during the 74th Hunger Games. The two later work together often and become close with each other. Haymitch favored Peeta since he was very useful and charismatic. He admits that he likes Peeta better. The two of them form plans together, like Peeta's act of love to Katniss. Peeta is able to be told secrets and plans by Haymitch and keep them to himself. Haymitch does not help Peeta during the 74th Hunger Games. Haymitch is hurt when he is taken away by the Capitol and is guilty for allowing this to happen.
Although he does not admit it, Haymitch truly loves Peeta. Haymitch attacks Peeta to see if he will put up a fight in the arena and is pleased when he and Katniss both show strength against him by ganging up. Haymitch comes up with ideas in preparation for the Games and informs Peeta of them. Haymitch helps him, and the two both become close to each other. Haymitch and Peeta work together to come up with the star-crossed lovers idea to gain sympathy from the audience. Haymitch is overjoyed when both he and Katniss come back from the Games alive. He does everything he can to prevent them from being harmed by the Capitol since they are enraged by the suicide act with the nightlock in the arena. Haymitch is somewhat hurt when Peeta is angry at him for keeping secrets from Peeta juice they used to hijack his memories. The two reconnect at the end of Mockingjay.
Effie Trinket
Effie annoys Haymitch greatly by her Capitol ways. Since Haymitch isn't familiar to Effie's manners, deadlines, and appearance, he becomes annoyed when she nags him about them. He annoys Effie as well by being at his worst and frustrates her by his appearance and manners like when he eats with his hands or like an animal. The two do have their moments together such as the night before the third Quarter Quell. The two say their final goodbyes before she is taken away, and Haymitch is shown to care for her.
Haymitch and Effie do not start off on the right foot. They first encounter each other when Haymitch shows up drunk and in poor conditions at the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. He throws up and hugs her, messing appearance and manners. The two seem to let Katniss and Peeta decide their own choices during preparations for the third Quarter Quell. The night before the third Quarter Quell, Effie is taken away, but before Haymitch and she say their final goodbyes, they are shown to like each other and care for one another.
Chaff
Haymitch and Chaff are old friends who both have a sense of humor and occasional bad attitude. They won the games 5 years apart and so have known each other almost all of their mentoring careers. They often get drunk together and play jokes on others to get a laugh out of it. For example, Haymitch and Chaff play a joke on Katniss after the parade in Catching Fire when Chaff kisses Katniss on the lips; they both laugh over her reaction. The two probably worked together to keep Katniss and Peeta alive.
Maysilee Donner
Haymitch briefly allied with Maysilee Donner during the 50th Hunger Games and seemed to be Haymitch-sort-of friendly to her until she broke off the alliance. When she was hurt by muttations, Haymitch heard her scream and ran to help her, even though he had reasons not to because of their broken alliance. He then stayed with her until she died, much like Katniss did with Rue. Katniss, in Catching Fire, after watching Haymitch's tapes before the 75th Hunger games, thinks about the similarity: she was too late to save Rue, and Haymitch was too late to save Maysilee.
PersonalityHaymitch is often drunk, surly, and harsh, but on rare occasions he can be
Haymitch calling Katniss out on not being very likeable.
He and Katniss are on the same "wavelength" for most of the books, as he can "communicate" with Katniss by unconventional means, such as the timely deliverance of a sponsor's gift. After the war is over, Haymitch is sent to District 12 to look after Katniss, but for a long period after arriving he does not visit her, opting to stay in his house and drink. It is indicated that his relationship with Katniss and Peeta is somewhat repaired as time goes on.
Haymitch doesn't sleep at night because of nightmares pertaining to the Hunger Games. When he does sleep he always clutches a knife. Drinking is Haymitch's way of tuning out the present and the pain of his Hunger Games. His alcoholism was also prompted by the loss of his entire family shortly after he won the Games, at the hand of President Snow, due to his rebellious victory. Haymitch did not have access to his liquor while he was in District 13, as the intoxicating substance is banned. He was mostly unaffected by this after therapy, but his skin became noticeably yellower. As soon as they returned District 12, he began drinking again. When Haymitch is in withdrawal, he becomes violent, incoherent, and prone to hallucinations, screaming and shaking and scaring people half to death.
Nevertheless, despite his severe drinking, Haymitch does have some degree of control over it as he tells Peeta and Katniss in their original deal that, if they let him drink as much as he wants, he will remain sober enough to help them. He also functions rather well while sober.
Skills
Haymitch is quite handy with a knife, evidenced by when he killed two Career tributes. He is also quite intelligent, outsmarting his fellow tributes and making the Capitol look stupid with their own force field. He was remarkably strong and quite handsome when he was younger. Although he has low endurance, he is good at lying, as shown in his ability to keep Katniss clueless about the rebellion. He can be convincing, persuading Districts 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 11 to protect Katniss and manipulating command in District 13 to allow Katniss into combat. He was able to communicate with Katniss through his gifts in the arena, though Peeta believed that ability was due to the similarities in their personalities.

- Haymitch has the distinction of being the only tribute in the history of the Games to be reaped for two Quarter Quells; however, he did not participate in his second due to Peeta volunteering to take his place.

The Rights of Englishmen is an assumed group of rights that had its roots in the basic rights granted in the Magna Carta. The idea reached its peak during the British settlement of North America. By this time colonial Englishmen felt they were entitled to certain additional rights and liberties. These were over and above those already granted them by the English Monarchy. One of these perceived rights was the idea of no taxation without representation. This was a grievance of British colonists who believed that they were not directly represented in the British Parliament. They believed that any laws it passed affecting the colonists (such as the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act) were illegal under the Bill of Rights 1689, and were a denial of their rights as Englishmen. This led to the American Revolution and is expressed in the Declaration of Independence as "certain unalienable rights". They stopped thinking of themselves as Englishman and became Americans. |

LINE Music Officially Launches In Taiwan Where Only 6% Of Smartphone Users Stream
Line Music expanded into a third market this week, with the service now available in Taiwan.
The Japan-based streaming music service launched in Japan and Thailand in 2015.
Line Music was one of the first streaming services available on the Japanese market. From the onset, Line was supported by Sony’s Japanese music business and Avex. Both companies were keen on keeping control over Japan’s record industry on streaming platforms.
Line Music is hoping to boost its user base by launching in Taiwan, but it may be facing an uphill battle.
The service is late to the party for streaming services in Taiwan, which has a highly competitive market. Spotify, Apple Music, and the local KKBox all compete for digital listeners.
Then again, one market survey indicates that 34% of smartphone users in Taiwan use digital music content. However, only 6% of those users have an online music streaming subscription. That suggests there’s enormous potential for growth in this market.
To get more Taiwanese people interested in the service, Line has recruited the help of local star Coco Lee.
Lee will serve as the brand ambassador for Line Music when it launches. Line is sponsoring her upcoming tour dates, including a show in Taipei. The familiarity with the Line messaging app may entice more Line Music listeners.
Speaking of which: Line currently has 21 million monthly active users in Taiwan.
Line Music will launch at a monthly price of NT$149 (US $4.8). 97-day and 410-day prepaid cards will be available as well.
Line has chosen FriDay, a digital music platform, as its partner to launch Line Music in Taiwan.
So far, Line Music has remained exclusive to Asian countries. It boasts a broad catalog of Japanese music, which has led to guides on how to sign up for Line Music for westerners who surface online. With Line Music going head-to-head against Spotify and Apple Music in Taiwan, perhaps Japanese content will offer a nice competitive differentiator. |
"Screenless" is the fifteenth episode of the thirty-first season of The Simpsons. It was first shown on television on the Fox network on March 8, 2020. In the episode, Marge wants the family to lower their screen time. However, she later finds out she needs to lower her screen time the most. The episode was dedicated to James Lipton who died on March 2, 2020, six days before the episode was shown on television. He guest starred in the episodes "The Sweetest Apu" and "Homer the Father".
Plot
The Simpsons family is watching a murder show on TV. Lisa sees Maggie trying to get their attention so she changes the channel to a show that teaches babies sign language. Maggie was trying to tell them that Hans Moleman is stuck under a tree that fell, but the family does not notice. In the morning, they keep watching the show and Hans is taken to an ambulance.
The show is cancelled because the government stopped funding the show, so Marge tries teaching Maggie sign language herself. Marge tries to tell the family about Maggie's development, but the family is too busy on their devices. Marge decides to limit everyone's screen time to half an hour a week.
Marge catches Homer, Bart, and Lisa having their screen time changed by a technician, so she puts away the devices completely. Homer is bored at work, so he starts playing word puzzles in a newspaper. Marge sees how strong devices are affecting Patty and Selma. Bart uses his imagination at school when he gets a toy rocket down from the school roof. Lisa gets the feeling of joy when she finds books from the library without using devices.
Marge can not find the recipe she is looking for, so when the family comes back home, they find her in the closet with her phone and laptop. Marge admits that she is the one who is addicted to devices. She signs the family up for a month at the Screen Addiction Rehab Center, a place to treat screen addictions.
The next day, they get in to the center and find out it is a pleasant place. The owner, Dr. Lund, shows them around the place and what you can do. The family starts to recover, but they can not hold back for long. They find the workers all using computers and sending spam mail after stealing the patients' accounts. The family can not leave because they signed a non-disclosure contract which does not let them leave the center.
At night, the family uses sign language to communicate with each other and escape the center. The next day, Dr. Lund is arrested for scamming.
Reception
Dennis Perkins of The A.V. Club gave the episode a score of B- and says that "there's not enough else to recommend 'Screenless,' as the Simpsons' individual journeys through the hell of online withdrawal are short-changed and unsatisfying." Den of Geek gave the episode a 3.5 out of 5 stars and says that the episode "is a sweet episode because it promises that families can be in the same room as each other and still be together." |

Where will the biggest game in the history of Welsh football be won and lost?
Here, CaughtOffside picks out five key battles for tonight’s Euro 2016 semi-final between Wales and Portugal in Lyon. No prizes for guessing which Real Madrid teammates feature!
SEE MORE: Gareth Bale warning for Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of Euro 2016 showdown
Ashley Williams v Jose Fonte
The Swansea City and Southampton captains in a major tournament semi-final, who’d have thought it? Williams was a significant threat from set pieces in the last-eight win over Belgian, scoring his side’s equaliser, and Fonte must use his own aerial prowess to try to combat that Welsh weapon.
Hal Robson-Kanu v Pepe
Robson-Kanu had a career-defining game against Belgium, scoring one of the goals of the tournament and stretching Belgian’s defence all over the place. Real Madrid star Pepe has tonnes of big-game experience and has been in great form. He won’t make it as easy for the former Reading forward.
Joe Allen v Renato Sanches
Both teams are more comfortable on the counter-attack, but this evening they may have to take turns dictating the play. Allen and Sanches will aim to do this in their own ways – the Portuguese teenager with his powerful ball carrying and the Liverpool midfielder with his passing. Allen has even more responsibility on his shoulders tonight due to the suspension of Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey.
Ricardo Quaresma v Wales substitutes
Quaresma has arguably been Portugal’s key player this tournament, and that is despite not starting a single match. He has had an impact on every substitute appearance, scoring the winner against Croatia and the crucial penalty versus Poland. Although Sam Vokes headed Wales into the semi-finals off the bench, they do not have many game-changers in reserve, and that is where this contest may be won.
Gareth Bale v Cristiano Ronaldo
The two star attractions. All of the rest of these battles make for an interesting undercard, but this is undoubtedly the main event. Bale, three goals so far at Euro 2016, inspiring a nation, and Ronaldo, two goals so far, seeking his first international trophy. Ultimately, it could come down to which of these Real Madrid superstars gets the better of one another, and we cannot wait to see who that will be!

My goal is to make you a better therapist.
Practicing Barefoot Bodywork:
• allows you to work "smarter not harder". Lets gravity or tensional force do most of the work for you.
• feels luxurious and therapeutic to the client all at the same time.
• is a great workout for your arms, legs, and core.
• doesn't compress your wrists like hand massage, thus relieving pain and inflammation in those joints.
• brings in more income as a highly productive and specialized modality.

I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to be an instructor for DeepFeet Bar Therapy and Sarga Bodywork. I wholeheartedly believe that these are two of the best massage modalities on the planet!
Becoming a massage therapist is a bit of a "second career" for me. In 2008, I quit my job as a flight attendant and enrolled in massage school on a whim. Between dealing with irate people on a regular basis, breathing recycled air everyday, and never quite knowing exactly what city or time zone I was in had really begun to take a toll on me mentally and physically in just a few short years. Massage school taught me, not only how to live properly in my own skin, but also how to relate properly with other human beings and serve them in a therapeutic capacity.
I worked at a local massage company here in Austin, for 4 years where I specialized in Deep Tissue work. But because a car accident when I was 18 left me with a weakened right hand, pain began to manifest itself in my wrist, and I had to cut back my hours. Like a lot of other therapists, I was also dealing with low back pain from bending over a massage table for 6 hours a day.
There were several Ashiatsu therapists where I worked, but I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to do the same kind of work with my feet. I finally conquered my fears and signed up for a DeepFeet workshop and was utterly amazed at how well-suited the feet are for massage and bodywork. They fit so well and do things that sometimes the hands just can't do.
In 2018, I was introduced to Sarga Bodywork which has taken my practice to the next level. Sarga has brought a slower, more focused approach to my work and adds another dimension to what is possible in our field.
DeepFeet Bar Therapy and Sarga Bodywork are pioneers in the massage and bodywork industry, and words cannot do justice to how proud I feel to be a part of these two authentic companies paving the way for therapists to do the work they dream to do without the sacrifice to their own well-being. |

Abstract
Enhancing thermogenic energy expenditure via promoting the browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) is a potential therapeutic strategy to manage energy imbalance and the consequent comorbidities associated with excess body weight. Adverse effects and toxicities of currently available methods to induce browning of WAT have retarded exploration of this promising therapeutic approach. Targeted delivery of browning agents to adipose stromal cells (ASCs) in subcutaneous WAT to induce differentiation into beige adipocytes may overcome these barriers. Herein, we report for the first time, ASC-targeted delivery of trans-resveratrol (R), a representative agent, using ligand-coated R-encapsulated nanoparticles (L-Rnano) that selectively bind to glycanation site-deficient decorin receptors on ASCs. After biweekly intravenous administration of L-Rnano to obese C57BL/6 J mice for 5 weeks targeted R delivery significantly induced ASCs differentiation into beige adipocytes, which subsequently resulted in 40% decrease in fat mass, accompanied by improved glucose homeostasis and decreased inflammation. Our results suggest that the ASC-targeted nanoparticle delivery of browning agents could be a transformative technology in combating obesity and its comorbidities with high efficacy and low toxicity.

A vault is an apparatus that male and female gymnasts perform on. A vault is included in gymnastics competitions such as the olympics. The gymnasts first run before they flip on the vault. Either the male or female gymnast perform a flip in the air and land on the floor. When the gymnast lands on the floor, he or she has to be in balance.
Early forms of the vault were invented by German Friedrich Ludwig Jahn. The apparatus itself originated as a "horse", much like the pommel horse but without the handles. It was sometimes called a "vaulting horse". The horse was set up with its long side perpendicular to the run for women, and parallel for men. The vaulting horse was the apparatus used in the Olympics for over a century It began with the 1896 Summer Olympics and ending with the Gymnastics at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
Following a number of problems, International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) changed the apparatus. They did it for both safety reasons and for better acrobatics. The 2001 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships were the first international competition to make use of the "vaulting table". This was an apparatus made by Dutch gymnastics equipment company Janssen-Fritsen since the mid-1990s. It features a flat, larger, and more cushioned surface almost parallel to the floor. It slopes downward at the end closest to the springboard. Gymnasts nicknamed it the "tongue". |

D-Backs name Byrnes new GM
D-Backs name Byrnes new GM|
PHOENIX -- Before they began drawing up a list of candidates to interview for their general manager's job, Diamondbacks managing general partner Ken Kendrick and general partner Jeff Moorad first came up with the profile of their ideal GM. They wanted someone with a background in player evaluation and development, someone with character, intelligence and leadership skills. And after interviewing seven candidates, they felt like they found their man in Red Sox assistant GM Josh Byrnes.
"At the end of the day, we think we did an outstanding job of finding someone that met every one of those needs in a way that each of the three of us that made this decision together were unanimous in our choice," Kendrick said referring to he, Moorad and team president Rich Dozer. Brynes impressed the Diamondbacks with his preparation for the interview, during which he shared an intimate knowledge of their organization and its practices, some of which were even news to Kendrick and Moorad. That should come as no surprise as the 35-year-old Byrnes is known for his preparation and attention to details. He has risen steadily through the baseball ranks -- first with the Cleveland Indians where he became one of the youngest scouting directors at the age of 27. He was the assistant GM with the Rockies for three seasons before filling a similar role with the Red Sox under Theo Epstein from 2003-2005. "He's been an invaluable member of the Red Sox, both in terms of assembling our big league team and the behind-the-scenes work in scouting and player development," Epstein said of Byrnes. "We would not have won the World Series without him." With baseball people seemingly split down the middle with those favoring statistical analysis on one side and those who rely on more traditional methods of scouting, Byrnes said he falls somewhere in the middle. "I think everyone is declaring affiliations out there, and as I said, I like information," he said. "I think both are valuable. I think when they overlap as a decision maker, you feel like you've got a good process in place. When they don't connect, maybe you pull aside and look at another player or another move. I think I'll get my hands on as much information as I can, both subjective and objective." For Byrnes, it all comes back to balance -- balancing old school vs. new school, wanting to win now but not at the expense of the future and balancing numbers vs. subjective judgment. The team gave Byrnes a four-year deal with a club option for a fifth season and his first task will be to shape his baseball operations staff. The contracts of assistant GM/director of player development Bob Miller and scouting director Mike Rizzo are set to expire on Oct. 31, and Byrnes will have to decide whether to retain them. Bob Gebhard, who filled the GM position on an interim basis after Joe Garagiola Jr. left to take a job with Major League Baseball in August, will likely stay on in some capacity. Byrnes talked with Gebhard about that on Friday and was set to meet with Miller later in the evening. He will spend the weekend talking with the rest of his staff. "Until I sort of hear what was here and talk about job descriptions and my own expectations, it's hard to forecast what we're going to do," Byrnes said. It wouldn't be surprising to see Brynes hire Jerry DiPoto in some capacity. The former pitcher has been the Rockies director of pro scouting and the two are close. Byrnes spent some time talking with manager Bob Melvin, and though they hardly know each other, organizational insiders feel the two will get along fine as they both are highly intelligent and share a passion for learning. "It was a good conversation," Byrnes said of the meeting. "We don't really know each other very well. I've heard great things about him so I'm looking forward to working with him." While there's been talk that Moorad wants to continue to have a significant say in personnel decisions, both he and Kendrick said on Friday that their only interference would come if acquiring a player meant going over the club's payroll budget. "For the most part, we have concluded when we looked at this profile that we needed to recognize that we aren't baseball guys [though] we are baseball fans and have a passion for the game," Kendrick said. "I've been one in my life who wanted to become associated with people who were expert and then who were given the responsibility and authority to act on their expertise. So for the most part, that's what we're going to do." Speaking of payroll, Arizona's was around $57 million last year and will likely range between $60-$65 million this year. That's a far cry from what Byrnes was used to in Boston, but he said it's more than enough. "I think, in this division, it will be a very competitive payroll," he said. "Again, it's only an obstacle to the extent that you want it to be. You can build a culture around what your payroll is, what it means, what kind of players you target. I think the payroll is more than enough to win games and win championships."

is a mental exercise for thinking over the events of each day. Gosei are a series of questions which each cadet is expected to ask himself each day. These five open-ended questions are part of the traditions of Japan's Naval Academy.
History
In the early 1930s, the related Gosei concepts were created by Vice Admiral Hajime Matsushita when he was the Chief of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy.
In the late-Showa period, the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) encouraged the use of the Gosei as a self-examination exercise. In today's JMSDF, Gosei is supposed to be one of the ordinary parts of daily living.
Questions
Every evening, Japan's Navy cadets are expected to think carefully about a their actions during the course of the day. This opportunity for self-reflection is guided by the set of five questions, including
Have you not gone against sincerity
Have you not felt ashamed of your words and deeds
Have you not lacked vigor
Have you not exerted all possible efforts
Have you not become slothful
The Gosei questions have been translated into English for discussion at the United States Naval Academy. |
A second laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden, was reportedly seized in February during a raid on a psychiatrist by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Hunter Biden was reportedly not the target of the raid.
NBC News first reported the best Friday afternoon at the end of an article in which it defended its reporting — or lack thereof — about the emails on an abandoned laptop, which purportedly connect Joe Biden to his son’s businesses.
The first laptop was seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in December 2019.
NBC reported on the second:

The Washington Examiner expanded on NBC’s reporting:
Sources told NBC News that the device belonging to the 50-year-old son of former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now a presidential candidate, was taken into custody by the DEA in February while executing a search warrant in the Massachusetts office of a psychiatrist who was accused of professional misconduct..
Data and files on the original laptop, left at a repair store in Wilmington, Delaware, purportedly connect Hunter Biden to it.

Brian David Josephson, FRS (born 4 January 1940; Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh physicist who became a Nobel laureate in 1973. He is of Jewish descent.
As of late 2007, he was a retired professor at the University of Cambridge, where he is the head of the Mind-Matter Unification Project in the Theory of Condensed Matter (TCM) research group. He is also a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
Josephson is one of the more well-known scientists who say that parapsychological phenomena may be real, and is also interested in the possibility that Eastern mysticism may have relevance to scientific understanding. In 2005, Josephson said that "parapsychology should now have become a conventional field of research, and yet parapsychology's claims are still not generally accepted". He compared this situation to that of Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift, where there was initially great resistance to acceptance despite the strength of the evidence. |
Bill Martin has resigned after five years as general manager of the Fort Lauderdale Opera because of failing health due to AIDS.
"I deeply regret that my health does not permit me to continue," Martin said in a statement released on Friday. "I depart knowing that the company has achieved its well-deserved status as a major performing arts organization."
Martin, 45, was diagnosed with AIDS two years ago. He continued work until several weeks ago and has kept in contact with the opera company on business matters since then.
"Bill has shown us all what courage means in the face of so cruel an illness," opera Artistic Director Marvin David Levy said.
The opera board has begun a search for Martin's successor, Opera Guild President Theodore Friedt said.
Since Martin took over in 1989, the opera's annual budget has doubled to $1.5 million, moved its productions into the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and built its own production and rehearsal center.
Martin also oversaw the Opera Guild's formation of a production company, The Fort Lauderdale Opera, with a successful presentation of The Saint of Bleecker Street.
After a rancorous split with the Greater Miami Opera, where he was director of administration under Robert Herman until 1983, Martin forged a new association with the Palm Beach Opera to bring shows to Broward.
Friedt described Martin as "an outstanding manager. Bill was principally responsible for our opera being designated a major cultural entity." |

A LAMY for every writing occasion
By CA
from Lodi, CA
I'm a writer and I select the pens I use for interviews and drafts according to the topic, the person I'm interviewing and my mood...idiosyncratic, perhaps, but the feel, the flow, the essence of using a particular pen for a particular moment/story works for me and the LAMY Safari Rollerball is right at the top of my list, along with the LAMY fountain pens. The right pen for the right job...you can't surpass LAMY in this department!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not my first Lamy
By oceans137
from Undisclosed
Love the pen! Function, balance and looks. I wouldn't expect anything less. This won't be my last Lamy writing instrument.
Nicely Balanced
By DGraywolf
from San Antonio, TX
I am a fan of rollerball pens and am delighted with this pen. It was purchased to replace a lost True Writer pen that I had used for seven years. This pen is better balanced and is thick enough to make it easy on my hand (I have arthritis), but is not so thick that I feel like I'm writing with a baseball bat! I will probably buy more of these.
Lovely Pen and writes like a dream!

Lamy spells disappointment
By fitz
from BROOKLYN, N.Y.
I purchased this rollerball as my everyday writing instrument with two additional roller refills. The one in the pen wrote in such a fine point that i tried the first refill and then the second. I ended up with a roller and two refills that write so thin that after initial use it has found its way to the " in case i can't find anything else to write with " draw in my desk.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thank you for your review. I am sorry that the Lamy Refills are not at the point that you prefer. Unfortunately, they are only offered in one size. Our Levenger rollerball refills are offered in Extra Fine, Fine or Medium. We have a large selection of rollerball pens you can use those in. Call us at 1-800-545-0242 and we'll be happy to help you.
Lamy does it again
By Jacki
from Falls Church, VA
I wanted an inexpensive but effective rollerball pen to use with my Moleskines and other journals. I found this Lamy rollerball to be a very smooth and flowing pen. I am happy with the ink texture and color. I also have Lamy Safari fountain pen I enjoy using. I highly recommend Lamy products and ordering them from Levenger. |

Transforming a Culture
The opportunity ahead
It’s the best of times. It’s the worst of times. Being customer-centric is the new motto. It’s where every organization knows it must get to. But those who champion the customer are often seen as troublemakers. Why? Because if you’re customer centric, then you’re asking for content to be rewritten so that it will be shorter and easier to understand, for transparency in pricing and procedures, for simpler, more intuitive interfaces. All of this “making it easier for customers” makes it harder for your management and your colleagues. It’s more work, more effort. They know you’re doing the right thing but they don’t like all the extra effort. This book is about changing that perception. It’s about turning you from a rebel into a hero, or at the very least getting you much more respect and recognition. It’s about giving you a model that allows your manager and your colleagues to see that their careers will become more successful the more customer-centric they become, and the more they support your efforts.
As a digital professional, your week is often equal measures optimism and frustration. You can see and feel the future all around you, but your organization is not moving fast enough. Sometimes it can even feel like things are going backwards. You struggle to find the key that will truly unlock a vibrant digital future. The key is culture because culture eats technology and strategy for breakfast.
There are many ways to become more customer-centric. The usability and customer experience professions are founded on such principles. I’m going to give you one method called Top Tasks. It’s something I’ve developed over the last twenty years of working with organizations to make their websites more customer-centric. It’s just one method—another tool in your toolbox—but I think it will be helpful to your efforts—and I have the evidence to prove it! Top Tasks Management has the following steps:
- With clear and unambiguous data, identifying what really matters to your customers—their top tasks.
- Measuring how able customers are to complete their top tasks and then continuously improving these tasks based on these metrics.
- Assembling teams around these tasks and making these teams responsible for customer task success. So, employees manage and are responsible for customer task outcomes, not organizational inputs.
A lot of this book, though, is going to be about culture and society, because that’s where the game is truly at. What I have learned again and again is that you can change the technology and the website design, but if you don’t change the culture, nothing important changes. I’m going to explore deeply the context within which digital transformation is occurring, because the first step in creating a new model culture is to understand the old model culture.
Much about our society and economy is broken today. Digital transformation offers us a grand opportunity to create a better society and economy that puts customers and citizens needs first—rather than the needs of the elites. I know there are huge challenges to achieving this more equitable society, but I am hugely optimistic, because I am absolutely certain that the organizations that will create the greatest value in the future will be those who are the most customer-centric.
Pioneers
The Irish have long made an art form out of being miserable. After all, it was an Irish man, Samuel Beckett, who said: “You must go on. I can’t go on. I’ll go on.” When I was young, we were pretty poor and, yes, miserable. I lived on a small farm that wasn’t even in the middle of nowhere. When everyone was gone to bed, I would sneak down to the kitchen to watch John Wayne and Clint Eastwood Westerns on our black and white TV, with a reception that seemed to be coming from Mars. I so envied those wagons as they rolled out towards new frontiers. “I’ll never get that opportunity,” I said miserably. I made myself a promise, though, that if I ever saw those wagons during my lifetime, I’d jump on.
In 1993, I came across the Web for the first time and instantly I saw those wagons rolling. And I jumped on. I’ve fallen off many, many times, but somehow I’ve managed to scramble back on. It’s been an incredible trip. And it still is! What a privilege to be part of the emergence of this new online world. What a privilege to meet so many fascinating and passionate people along the way. Sure, there have been setbacks but that’s the lot of pioneers. There’s still so much promise, so much possibility. Online is in a state of revolution. It is about the rise of customer power. And the revolution is still in the early stages. Nobody said it was going to be easy. (At least, nobody I talked to.)
I can’t tell you the amount of times that audiences have said to me over the years that I was “preaching to the choir.” That they get it. It’s just the “higher-ups” who don’t get it. Well, it’s time for the choir to start singing in a collective, multidisciplinary unison, because the choir has a lot more ability to make the change happen than it thinks it has. You can’t do this alone. You can—and will do it—with the right team, the right network. And what do you have to do? Just change the culture.
Cultures can change: the story of Liberia and Ebola
Funerals are deep in the culture of a people. A Liberian funeral used to be a great affair. It was a celebration, with bands of trumpeters and drummers, and long processions, youngsters singing, the waving of open palms high above heads, a jubilation. Everyone went. All the locals, family members travelled long distances. The men in their best suits, the women in black outfits, children dressed in white. There might be soccer teams attending, local schools marching; an event, a big event. It could last for days, even weeks.
In preparation for the funeral, the body would be bathed, washed, rubbed and caressed by family members. There would be hugs and kisses of the dead. Death is a next stage of life, according to Liberian belief, a journey to the “Village of the Dead.” The way the deceased are mourned and buried can impact what position they come to attain in the Village. If the ceremony is not carried out properly then the family may be in danger from an angered spirit, who can cause disease and harm.
Ebola struck on March 30, 2014. A dead body is more contagious than a living one. By September, the disease was growing exponentially and treatment centers were filling up the day they opened. Ebola was rampant. It was out of control. However, by May 2015, the WHO declared “Liberia free of Ebola virus transmission.”
How did they do it? How did they change deep-seated cultural practices, many of which worked in direct opposition to combatting the spread of Ebola? It was by no means easy, as Liberia was in the process of recovering from a destructive 14 year Civil War that had killed over 200,000 people. Before Ebola struck, there were no more than 50 doctors for a population of 4.5 million. The best hospitals in Monrovia, the capital, didn’t even have running water, let alone electricity or proper medical supplies.
Initial responses were often chaotic and corrupt. Clinics did not follow protocols, there was misdiagnosis, deep superstitions, wild rumors, infected healthcare workers kept working, donations were requested “to help the fight against Ebola” but merely ended up lining the pockets of the corrupt.
Three pillars of change began to emerge though:
- Active community involvement. This was the most essential element. The local communities were given the tools and support to take back control of their own destinies and they did, changing their culture in the process.
- Leadership. The Liberian government showed decisiveness and a willingness to make tough decisions.
- International support. The wider network of the global community provided vital expertise, equipment and experienced professionals.
Optimal Action Framework
If we’re to make change happen within the organization, the same three pillars must be used:
- The network is the hub of change. Customers and partners drive digital transformation more than the organization itself. The organization is led by the network, not the other way around. The customer is the spear point of change. The force is with the customer. This is the Age of the Customer.
- The employee community must be fully engaged. They must be enabled to make the change happen. The employees are key. The “choir” needs to sing before management will listen.
- Management—particularly senior management—must be seen to be embracing and encouraging the change. Unfortunately, management is often the weakest link because to truly embrace digital transformation, management must give up a lot of the control that it was used to under the old model.
Real change will occur when these three pillars are supporting each other. So, how is that different from traditional old models of management, you might ask? It used to be that management led and that customers and employees were expected to follow. The Web has changed that power structure dynamic. Customers and employees have far more power today than they ever had—and they are beginning to exercise it.
In a complex, interconnected world, it is simply impossible to do anything substantial or worthwhile that does not involve collaboration across multiple disciplines. The myth of the godlike, individual leader who knows it all is less and less credible. We live in a network and it is those who are best at networking who will succeed most. The road to digital transformation involves building bridges—and the most important bridges you will build are not within your discipline or peer group, but outside it to other individuals and groups.
Hope replaces fear (once trust is established)
Lots of mistakes were made at the beginning of the Liberian struggle against Ebola. In complex, unpredictable worlds, mistakes are reality. Accept that you are going to make lots and lots of mistakes. Just make sure you develop a way to learn from your mistakes, adapt and refine and move on, constantly iterating.
At the beginning of the Liberian Ebola crisis, fear based messaging was often used, but this created a sense of paralysis, hopelessness and paranoia. The messaging had to change to one of hope and action: You can control your destiny. You can defeat this. Here’s what you have to do. Don’t design to control. Design to give control.
There is a lot of fear in society. People see how their income is stagnating, while the rich 1% is just getting richer. At a senior management level, many decisions are ruled by fear and ego. Robots stand on the horizon waiting to take over even more jobs. There is stress, overwork, a sense of being overwhelmed. Globally, 70% of employees are disengaged from their work. Something is badly broken. You need to fight fear with hope, because there is genuine reason for hope. If organizations become employee-centric and customer-centric, there is huge value to be gained.
To make the change happen, your colleagues must feel that there is a better place where they can get to. How will a customer-centric world be better than an organization-centric one? People must feel in control of their own destiny, they must feel able to do something. Hope can spring from purposeful work. Too many people do work that lacks purpose or real feedback today. In old model organizations, employees’ careers are dependent, not on the quality of the work they do, but on how likeable they are, and how well they obey their managers. The stuff they produce (content, code, graphics, or whatever) seems to get sucked into a black hole. They never hear back about whether it worked or not, about what needs to be improved. The Top Tasks approach is about management based on constant feedback. Customers provide feedback. Employees make changes, and see the direct impact of their work makes it easier for customers. As customers see things getting simpler, they give more and better feedback.
Trust is a most precious, scarce resource
Building trust was vital to success in Liberia. Corruption was ever present, so getting people to trust the communication required huge transparency and extensive interactions with village chiefs, religious leaders, women’s associations, youth groups, etc. The walls of the treatment centers were made of see-through plastic, so that families and friends could watch what was happening. This helped dispel fears and rumors.
There is a collapse of trust in institutions and leaders around the world today, as I will explain in more detail in later chapters. It will never return to the levels of blind trust that we used to have fifty years ago. This has huge implications for the digital designer, as we’ll see later. Today, we trust in transparency, we trust in facts and evidence, so we must design for transparency. You build trust into your designs and content. How do you do that? You design for simplicity of use. That which is easy to use and understand, we trust. We distrust complexity.
Organization culture must change
The wider, global network ultimately played a vital role in combating Ebola, but was initially found wanting. The pinnacle of organization-centric culture is senior management, and the change to a customer-centric culture will severely affect those who have authoritarian streaks, bountiful egos and mega wage packets. That is why you must be very careful in your transformative effort. Making your organization more customer-centric is a rebellious act against traditional hierarchy. You are walking a tightrope between empathy and ego. Most senior managers like to talk customer-centricity and collaboration but they don’t want to be customer-centric.
The World Health Organization (WHO), which is responsible for managing global epidemics, was initially slow and inefficient in its response to the Ebola outbreak. “WHO does not have a culture of rapid decision-making and tends to adopt a reactive, rather than a proactive, approach to emergencies,” an expert panel reported in 2015. . WHO does not have an organizational culture that supports open and critical dialogue between senior leaders and staff or that permits risk-taking or critical approaches to decision-making,” the report stated.
Sound familiar? Despite—or maybe because of—all these information management systems, senior managers are increasingly out-of-touch. This is an unfortunate reality in so many organizations today. Senior management often seems to live in a parallel bubble universe, making impossible promises and wanting to hear only positive stories about how these promises are being met. You need to play your part in bursting the bubble without the vengeance of management raining down on you. The actual experience of your customers is your spear point. If anything will burst the bubble and bring a true desire to become customer-centric, this will. Many in senior management are genuinely unaware of how horrible they have made things for their customers and employees. When they are shown evidence, it can be a real lightbulb moment.
Be careful, though. Avoid putting forward your opinion because your opinion versus a senior manager’s gut instinct is not a battle you will win. Use data of customer experience to move things forward. Show how the customer is having a really bad experience. Keep talking about the customer.
The Ebola factsheet page from the WHO website became a classic example of the worst of office politics and organization-centric culture and silo-based thinking. This page was a critically important resource. It has had many millions of visitors since it was launched.. It seemed that everybody within WHO wanted to publish something on Ebola, to show what they or their division was doing to combat the disease. WHO knew how important the factsheet page was, how it was infinitely more important than the vast majority of other pages on Ebola, but it too was paralyzed by old model organizational culture as it found itself caught up in a tsunami of internal publishing. It was caught up in that old, corrosive culture of organizational ego: “I am important. Therefore I publish a lot.”
That is why as a first step in digital transformation you must establish the customer top tasks—what is really important to them. Unfortunately, what you will often discover as you go through the process of identifying top tasks is that what is most important to the customer is often least important to the organization—and vice versa.
Ebola factsheet page from the WHO website
Once you have identified the customer top tasks, you must measure them. How many customers are able to successfully complete these tasks? How long is it taking them? Show how they can’t find basic facts. Show how they do find out-of-date information.
Measure use, not what you produce
Built into our old model DNA is the strong impulse to produce, to create, to publish, to own, to have, and to be seen to have. That’s because we come from a physical world that is based on the laws of scarcity. Value is measured based on production and having lots of things. This is at the heart of organizational culture. It is alien to most organizations to continuously improve—to review, renew, and where appropriate, remove, that which already exists, particularly when it comes to content.
There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, the organization feels it always has to show it is doing something new. Old model marketers, communicators, developers, designers are obsessed with the new, whether it is new customers, new events, new products, new features, new channels, new formats, new programs or new initiatives. They rarely see it as part of their job to focus on current customers, current programs, products, content, etc.
Secondly, in the old model things age, break down, degrade, fade away, get lost. Most physical stuff that is printed disappears over time, or as they used to say: “Today’s news is tomorrow’s fish ‘n’ chip paper”. That print brochure or factsheet you published in 2010, where is it now? Most print ends up in history’s dustbin.
Not so for digital. Unless the system crashes and there’s no back-up, then digital stuff is going to stay around forever. If there is no process to renew or remove what is out-of-date content, redundant or simply no longer necessary, then all that old stuff will grow and grow and grow. Year in, year out it will become a larger percentage of the digital landscape. In other words, unless you maintain and continuously improve your digital environment, then the entire environment will naturally degrade. In a network, if you do nothing, things get worse. The US Department of Health had 200,000 pages on their website. They finally got around to deleting 150,000 of them that were old and out-of-date. Nobody noticed.
Your future will be more about continuously improving what you have created than creating new stuff. That’s a big shift. You need to change habits. Your questions must be: “What can I remove? What can I improve?” Not: “What can I add? What can I create?” I know that management wants you to produce, not maintain. Real work—real value in the old model—is when you create something new, not when you improve or delete something. You are rewarded and measured by what you produce—a traditional input-based metric that often ends up rewarding worst practice in a digital world.
We must change the metrics. We must change the model. You need metrics that are focused on how customers find and use what your organization produces. When you measure these customer outcomes, you will notice the negative impact of the old and outdated. In a network, you need outcome-based metrics that focus on how people use things. Traditional metrics of production merely measure what happens within the organizational silo.
In October 2014, I searched for “latest Ebola death figures” on the WHO website. The first search result was from April 2nd, the second result was from April 1st, the third result was from August 4th and the fourth result was from April 22nd. Isn’t that shocking? Research on how people use search engines show that over 60% will click within the first three search results. Are these out-of-date search results acceptable? Of course, not. But most organizations do not measure findability (the outcome). They just measure the input (the search engine itself and the content that is indexed). This culture must change.
When in August 2015, I searched for “ebola death toll by country” on the WHO website, I got the following results.
WHO search results for “ebola death toll by country”
None of the results were particularly useful. In fact, on the first page of search results 8 out of 10 of the results were PDFs. Nothing better illustrates an organization-centric, old model culture than the proliferation of PDFs on a website because one thing is for sure: digitizing print documents is not digital transformation.
When I did the exact same search in Google, I got the results shown on the following page.
This is the digital future. We don’t want to search. We want to find an answer quickly. What is the purpose of the WHO website when Google gives answers more quickly and easily? Wikipedia is becoming as popular as WHO as a source of health information.
Google search results for “ebola death toll by country”
Increasingly, if traditional organizations cannot overcome their organization-centric cultures, so as to professionally manage and maintain their own information, they will be supplanted by more efficient network operators. If WHO can’t become useful on the Web, then someone else will do its job for it.
Endlessly flexible, evolving cultures
We’ll never get our organization to change, I often hear the beaten-down web professional say. They’re too fixed in their ways. But it only takes one generation for something to seem like it was there forever. Things are a lot more fluid than you might think.
“Funerals can confuse a visitor to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia,” Stanley Meisler wrote for The Atlantic Monthly in 1973. “Is he on the western coast of Africa or in New Orleans?” Meisler described how the “the big brass band marches down Broad Street on a hot Sunday afternoon, playing rollicking hymns ….”
Things have always been changing and intermixing; we just don’t notice sometimes. Culture is always changing, just sometimes slowly enough for most to think everything is remaining the same. Digital is much faster than physical. It changes much more rapidly and it will drag culture along whether it likes it or not. Those organizations that can’t change at the speed of digital will wilt away in the network.
Today and tomorrow and forever more, we can’t avoid seeing the change, and willing—or unwilling—being part of that change, because it’s all speeding up. It’s all at a frenetic pace now. Nothing is ever finished. Nothing is ever over anymore. There is no definitive anything, no fundamental truths, no absolute answers. We have entered an age of great uncertainty and we’re just going to have to adapt—and we will!
There is no guarantee of a happy future for Liberia. Throughout 2015, Liberia had isolated incidents of Ebola. The system must be ever vigilant. It’s actually much easier to change back to old model organizational culture because old model is tribal culture, and this is the deepest and oldest culture of all. Organizations are just another type of tribe, and it is always more comfortable to look inwards; comfortable but not safe.
Are you thinking that in some ways it was easier for Liberia to change because they faced an existential crisis, an extinction event? They had to act. They felt they had no choice. There are always choices. To do nothing is a choice. To move slowly is a choice.
We are living in an insecure and complex world where random events with major consequences are happening with increasing frequency. We must get used to it because insecurity and complexity is only going to increase.
For traditional organizations, and traditional, rigid minds, the extinction event has, in fact, already happened.
It’s called The Web.

Arslān al-Muẓaffar al-Basāsīrī, (died Jan. 15, 1060, Saqy al-Furāt, near Kūfah, Iraq) Islāmic military leader.
Al-Basāsīrī was born a Turkish slave, and his activities were first mentioned about 1025. At the time, the weakened ʿAbbāsid caliphs at Baghdad, who represented Sunnite Islām, were under continuous pressure from the Fāṭimid caliphs of Egypt, representing the Shīʿite sect, and the insurgent Turks commanded by Toghrïl Beg. Al-Basāsīrī, a veteran of many battles in these struggles, joined with Arab tribesmen in 1058–59 to attempt to defeat the ʿAbbāsid caliph al-Qāʾim in favour of the Fāṭimids. He was unsuccessful and was killed by the Turks in 1060. ... (100 of 130 words) |

Everything that you do, personally or professionally, will fall into one of four buckets: Slow Success, Fast Success, Slow Failure, or Fast Failure. (Spoiler alert: if you do nothing else, avoid Slow Failure as much as possible).
Fast Success
" There are no shortcuts to any place worth going." - Beverly Sills
You do not and cannot plan for Fast Success. If you do, you will not achieve it. It's foolish to assume it will happen because 99.99 percent of the time, it doesn't (and won't). On the exceedingly rare occasion it does, you're an outlier, a lottery winner, you were struck by lightning and this post isn't meant for you (congratulations!). Think Instagram, which Facebook snapped up for a cool $1B a mere 19 months after it started and YouTube, which saw its first video go up in April of 2005 and then - 19 months later - pulled in $1.65B in its sale to Google.
Fast Failure
"Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." - Denis Waitley
Anything substantive and worth having professionally typically comes after lots and lots of failures, both large and small. Fast failure is a perfectly reasonable and normal outcome of effort. Call it the growing pains of professional success, where the real learning takes place. In fact, you could take it one step further and look at fast failure as success. Failing quickly - whether it's a relationship, an experiment, a role, a company or a product idea - is ultimately a blessing. You're killing it at understanding what will not work - and consequently, you'll be more attuned to what success really looks like.
Slow Success
"Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did." - Newt Gingrich
Almost anything worth doing is in this category. You work hard over an extended period of time and make steady progress against whatever the particular goal is that you are trying to achieve. Each day you're slightly better than the last and the sum of your incremental gains becomes something great, something you can call a success. Like the tortoise in the fable, slow and steady will win out: the general trend will be measured, consistent, and up and to the right.
Uber and Facebook are classic examples of slow success, though they're often mistaken as meteoric in their respective rises. Yes, in the world of multi-billion dollar companies, both achieved incredibly high value relatively early on. But it wasn't overnight and both had years of fast failures to find the right fit before becoming the large and successful companies they are today.
Slow Failure
"Stagnation is a slow death." - Ellen Hopkins
Slow failure happens when we're scared to face the truth because doing so will force us to make a move. If you've been complaining about your boss or job for years, nothing's going to change. If you've been waiting for that friend in your life to finally start treating you with the respect you deserve, it's unlikely to happen. Time is your most precious commodity. Cut your losses now. Don't get caught in the trap of slow failure.
You'll find one of two things will happen. You'll either make a change (pivot, build a new product, hire a new person) and the anticipated outcome will change. Or you'll call it a day and take another path that will likely lead to slow success.
Ultimately, fail fast and succeed slow but be brave enough to reject slow failure at all costs. This is really, at its core, about your life - the only one you have - and it's damn short. Take heart, take courage and inspiration from those whose paths you admire - and don't be deterred by fast failure. Learn, adjust and. |

Jesus said, “I am the bread of
life: whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever
believes in me shall never thirst” (John 6:35).
You’re sitting at a table in your
favorite restaurant, looking over the menu, thinking, “Im
hungry, but I don’t know what I want.” If it’s an
unfamiliar place, you may even ask the server, “What’s
especially good here?” You look to the next table to see
what they have. Then you order a large platter of rich
fried food, and when you get done you are stuffed and
wonder, “Why in the world did I order that?” You know
there’s a big difference between being stuffed and being
satisfied.
I think this is a picture of
life. We’re handed a menu filled with options that
promise satisfaction. And we look at others’ lives and
what they’ve ordered and we think, “Well, if I just had what
they have, I think I’d be satisfied…if I had their marriage,
their kids, their job, car or house I’d really be
satisfied.” For many of us, our souls are starving and
we don’t even realize it because we’ve stuffed ourselves
with cheap substitutes. And we are
undernourished. We have tried to satisfy our deepest
needs with the things of this world and don’t even know that
it is a spiritual hunger that is really crying out for food.
And the reason we don’t feel hungry
for God and the things of God is that we are so stuffed with
all this other stuff that we don’t even think we’re even
hungry. Perhaps you’re reading this and you aren’t
very hungry for the Bread of life. Maybe you went to a
church as a child and you weren’t really into it. You
fled as soon as you could and haven’t had a taste of the
Bread of life or a sip of the Water of life in a long, long
time. It’s been so long that you don’t even feel
hungry for it anymore.
I learned recently about starving
children in third world countries. With no food to
eat, they literally use up all their body fat and muscles
until all that’s left is just skin and bones. Their
stomachs have bloated and their black hair turns a shade of
reddish blonde. The skin dries out. They’re
malnourished and starving to death. And I learned that
there’s another thing that happens to these children that I
didn’t know, and it is that they lose their appetite.
They’re starving, but not hungry. When you offer them
a piece of bread they will push it away and turn their head
in another direction. They don’t want it.
And I think this is a good picture
of what happens to people at the spiritual level.
They’re starving but not hungry. Their soul is
completely undernourished but they don’t want a bite to
eat. Then I kept reading about those little
kids. And what the missionaries do is they’ll take a
piece of bread, or some food, and force the kids to open
their mouths and force them to swallow. And if they
can just get them to swallow a few bites their appetite is
rekindled, and they get hungry again. They eat and
live.
I don’t know how you take someone
who isn’t spiritually hungry and make them eat. I wish
I did know. Because there are some people dear to me
that I would do just about anything to see them eat just a
few bites again. I think they’d find that that is what
they wanted and longed for and needed all along.

Testing the Status Quo mighty ancestor to all North African women.
Tunisia has a strong history of feminine emancipation as it was the home of the great warrior Queen Kahena; Carthage was the first empire to be built by a woman; and Tunisia became the first Arab country to promote gender equality, ban polygamy and grant women the right to vote, back in the 1950s. Educating girls on the values of autonomy, competency and knowledge has nurtured individuals with great potential.
READ: All you need to know about the 1st Arab Women Forum in Saudi Arabia
Thirteen centuries after the fall of Kahena, in present-day Tunisia however, social and religious norms seem to have curbed that pattern of glory. The most telling indicator would be the media’s portrayal of the female persona – the diligent housewife, doting mother, alluring seductress, trendsetting-fashionista, damsel in distress – stereotypes all widely spread around the world, not just in Arab countries. Tunisian brands have yet to take a bold stance regarding these formulations, despite a solid presence of women working in the marketing communications industry in the market. Such a timid performance is partly due to the conservative mass audience, which is resurging even stronger following the revolution. The upturn of values such as tradition, faith and safety, are making advertisers hesitant to rock the boat.
In order to test the status quo, J. Walter Thompson Tunis conducted an experiment on female representation in commercial messaging during a campaign on football. Now, football is predominantly considered a man’s playground – but is it really? What if a mighty brand such as, national operator Tunisie Telecom, issued content to congratulate not only male football fans on Tunis’ qualification for the 2018 World Cup, but all Tunisians, equally? The “Ya Russia Jeyin” music video was in fact the first piece of work of its kind to be edited with gender parity at its core: men and women had equal screen-time, 1347 frames each, as well as exactly equal presence as actors and voices. Such an edit was a true disruptor to advertising standards, but did it have a perceptible impact on viewers – would they notice and comment; would men decry the inclusion of women on their turf?
ALSO READ: How advertising is, can and should, empower women
The answer is, no they didn’t, and that says a lot about the gender norms in the Tunisian society. “Ya Russia Jeyin” was viewed five million times in a country of 11 million, and not one viewer expressed unease at seeing so many women cheering about football. And why would they? Women represent 50.5 percent of the population, which implies that in real life, male supporters are comfortably surrounded by as many men as women on a daily basis. Women are widely present in the workplace, public spaces, family spaces, schools and practically every aspect of daily life. Yet, where we see them missing is in the media, in advertising and in political leadership position – the spaces that establish a perceived “norm” by virtue of their broadcast potential.
The problem for Tunisian women – who once built empires and stood against invading armies – is the struggle to find an equal voice to express themselves in the public domain. But as you read these words, a wind is blowing, awareness is rising and change seems to be imminent, because the truth of the matter is, in their daily lives Tunisians recognized gender parity over a millennia ago, and confirmed that belief in the middle of the last century. Today’s Tunisian women need look no further than their own country, history and education, and put into practice the values of autonomy, competency and knowledge to re-establish the true norm in the public domain.
