Meet the man: Chris Reid Esq.
We can’t give too much away, but we’re working on a very rad project together with the International Trend Institute (ITI) and the exciting Chris Reid. We felt we simply couldn’t keep him all to ourselves; he’s just too interesting. You must meet this man.
Who is Chris Reid, and who or what is the ITI?
I’m a work-nerd turned advertising-geek turned trend-researcher. ITI, aka the International Trend Institute, is the design and branding agency where I work, that allows me to combine all three of these things.
A trend is simply a tendency at any point in time – the two words even share a similar etymological route. Trends are common sentiments we share; whether it’s about how we live, what we wear or how we furnish our homes.
What is the greatest misnomer about trends?
That they all have predetermined lifespans – a year, a season, etc. They’re far more organic than that.
To what degree should we follow trends?
Everyone should follow (or at least be aware of) trends – you’re stagnating if you’re not progressing. I think the trick is just to make sure you don’t lose yourself in the process.
What is the absolute worst aspect of being a trend forecaster?
People asking for you to elucidate on ‘the next big thing’ in 10 minutes or less.
What/who/where is on your radar?
I’m really into Afrofuturism as a concept at the moment, and all the imaginings of Africa’s potential that it explores.
Streaming is the new downloading. At the moment I’m listening to a lot of the new Tame Impala album and Petit Noire, watching Mr Robot and always listening to podcasts like 99% Invisible.
What is your social media weapon of choice?
Where do you get your trend inspiration from?
I’m still a big magazine man. I read The New Yorker for long-form journalism, Elephant for art and design, Fantastic Man for style, Lucky Peach for food and other, more trend-specific publications like Bloom and Mix too.
What is your colour prediction for 2016?
The 70s are on their way back, so I’d learn to love ambers and earthy greens and oranges again if that doesn’t do it for you at the moment.
Need to get hold of this chap?
Need more trend information in your life?
That’s what we’re here for. Sign up to our newsletter here, to ensure that you never miss out.

General 1. Remember, this is a personal vehicle, not a commercial rental! Bring it back clean and in the same condition you received it. See "Instructions for cleaning" below. 2. No pets or animals of any kind. Except tribbles. We're cool with tribbles. 3. Absolutely no smoking. A cleaning fee will be charged for smoke or other unusual odors. 4. Your satisfaction is my #1 priority. Rent with confidence from your best partner on Turo! 5. See "Fees" section below for fees you may incur by bringing the vehicle back in an unsatisfactory condition. FREE Car Wash Locations Body Beautiful Mission Valley: 4282 Camino Del Rio N, San Diego, CA 92108 Body Beautiful Downtown (Near Airport): 2045 Pacific Highway , San Diego, CA 92101 Instructions for cleaning 1. You are responsible for bringing the vehicle back in the same condition that you received it. 2. If the car requires cleaning, you may either take it to one of the car wash locations listed below for a free-to-you cleaning or you may have it cleaned at any car wash of your chosing at your own cost. We can also wash the car for you for a flat fee of $50. 3. If you do chose to have the car taken to a wash of your choice, make sure that it is a reputable commercial operation. DO NOT clean the car yourself or take it to one of those high-school or church fundraising car washes. Also, no automatic washes. They WILL scratch the paint and you will be responsible for any damage that is caused. 4. You may have the car cleaned for free (to you) at one of the locations listed above. 5. Go to one of the above locations. If you are returning to the airport, the Downtown location is probably best for you. If you are returning to the vehicle location or coming from north of San Diego, the Mission Valley location is probably best for you. 6. Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time, especially during busy hours. You should shoot for having the car cleaned the day before the return date or 1 - 2 hours prior to the drop off time. 7. Go to the location and tell them you are using a GotCarWash membership. Request the Limited Full Service. The member holder name is Lucas Altic. The member ID is the same as the license plate number (7UUF760). Fees The following fees will be incurred if the vehicle is brought back in an unsatisfactory state Cleaning: The car is cleaned before you get it. If it is dirtier than when you pick it up, you should have it cleaned. If cleaning is required when you drop off the vehicle, the following fees apply: Basic washing (if returned dirty) - $50 Soiled or stained seats or fabric - $50 in addition to basic washing Spilled liquids on dash, trim, non-fabric - $15 in addition to basic washing Smoke or pet smells - $200 Minor Damage: Small surface scratches that can be removed by buffing - $50/inch Larger scratches that break the paint - $250/inch Small paint chips smaller than a dime - $150/each Paint scrapes or scuffs - $600/square inch Scratches or scuffs on hub caps - $25/each Cracked hubcaps - $100/hubcap Windshield stars - $75/each Major Damage: Major damage will be submitted to Turo as a damage claim. Turo will collect payment for major damage from you on a case per case basis. Refueling: See the "Instructions for Refueling" section below. Instructions for Refueling 1. Bring the car back with the same fuel level as when you received it. This is always the best option. 2. If you are unable to replace the fuel, notify me at least 2 hours in advance, the longer the better. 3. You will be charged for the price of the fuel plus a $20 refueling fee.
I won't split hairs on a few extra miles.
Are you a stickler on pickup and return times?
You can pick up and drop off any time within your rental period. Being a little late usually isn't a problem unless another customer happens to be waiting on you. But I'm confident we can work out any issues. Communication is the key!
This is my first time using Turo and I'm a little worried. What confidence can you give me?
Rest assured that I will do absolutely whatever I possibly can to make this experience a seamless one. I am prompt, polite, friendly, compassionate, and here to help. Consider yourself taken care of.
What happens if I can't replace the fuel I used?
Don't worry! We know how challenging it can be to time your vehicle return around the demands of your trip. If you can't replace the fuel, simply let us know a minimum of 2 hours in advance, bring it back and we'll refill it for you for a $20 refueling fee plus the cost of the gas.
Am I responsible for washing the car before I return it?
You are responsible for returning it in the same condition you received it. So if you are ridiculously tidy and you only drive it around town and it's just as shiny as when you received it, you probably don't need to clean it. But if you had it out for more than a few days or took it on a long, buggy, road trip, or took it to the beach and got sand everywhere, then you probably do. The good news is that I have partnered with several car washes in the San Diego area to provide free-to-you car washes. Just take the car to one of the listed locations as close to your return time as possible and follow the instrucitons given in the "Guidelines" section below for a free wash.
Great first experience! Will rent from Lucas again!
This was a great vehicle! Awesome gas mileage and gets a lot of pick up! Definitely plan to rent this vehicle again!
Awesome car! Great pick up and delivery thank you !

Serverless is one of our technological pillars. In that context Frederik and I were at Serverless Computing London 2018. As usual London was great, and so was the conference. It was a great opportunity to check out the state of serverless and meet some leaders in this space. Below are some of my key takeaways as seen through the eyes of a cloud engineer.
As we all know security is something we need to keep in mind when evaluating new technologies. Similar to the move from classic servers to containers, the move to serverless also has an impact on where we need to put our focus.
One would assume that without servers there is no more risk involved but this is not the case.
Serverless improves a lot of pain points that some of us might struggle with. Serverless on the other hand will make some other aspects more difficult to manage.
The obvious improvement is that you don’t need to manage the OS layer anymore. Therefore you don’t need to worry about patching OS dependencies like heartbleed, spectre, meltdown, etc. The patching of these leaks are the responsibility of the provider now.
Another improvement is that you are less vulnerable to denial of service attacks. The functions are triggered based on events so there is no need to implement auto scaling or over provision your platform to mitigate these attacks. There are however some concerns to be mindful of: AWS Lambda still has the default limit of 1000 concurrent executions, the backend database can still be the bottleneck and last but not least: you still need to pay for the requests.
While there are no new security problems (at least not while writing this post) there are some new pitfalls that we need to watch out for. Using serverless functions by themselves is quite basic. You can run some code and at the end the function stops. If you want to build an application with it you need to use some services to glue the functions together (for example a firehose, a queue, a third party service,...). In serverless we expose much more data and send it between services and functions. We need to be aware of that and make sure that we secure that data.
If you are looking at serverless you may see that it involves a lot of services and vendor third party tools to bind your functions together. If you are scared of being locked into a certain cloud provider you could say that going serverless on a cloud provider is a no-go. If you look a bit deeper into the principle of lock-in, every platform or tool that you use has some binding to it. From choosing a programming language to choosing where to run your code. Every decision that you make will have some cost to on- and off-board. When you are aware of this we can take a deeper look at how cloud independent serverless actually is.
During the talk from Avi Deitcher he showcased that you could deploy the same application on AWS, heroku, kubernetes and openfaas without much pain. The conclusion for me about this topic is therefore that it is healthy to be aware of the fact that every decision that we take involves a lock-in in some way.
During the conference I noticed that there is still a lot of uncharted and unclaimed territory. While AWS is going big on serverless we see that other cloud providers are going big onto providing serverless tools for their customers. This is something that will develop further in the near future and will be interesting to see what these key players will offer to take up the lead.
Tooling around serverless is still in development and still has a long way to go. Currently there are not a lot of logging/monitoring/scanning tools that are made for serverless environments but they are still improving.
One of the biggest advantages to go serverless is the cost. For startups that are not live yet it's quite easy to stay within the free tier limit from Amazon which creates opportunities for these types of customers. They don’t need to pay to have development infrastructure running that doesn’t generate revenue. Therefore you only start paying for your runtime environment when you are receiving traffic.
The serverless ecosystem is a big step forward but it requires a different approach than what you may be used to. The abstraction level is higher and it’s easy to get lost in the jungle of tools and technologies.
Personally I think serverless is the way forward. From day 1 your code is infinitely scalable and can handle huge production workloads without any special requirements. This lowers the investments that development companies need to make and therefore enables them to grow.
Want to know what this means for you? We can help. Get in touch with us below!

A new study from the University of Liverpool in collaboration with The University of Western Australia has examined why some people feel motivated to walk their dogs regularly and others don’t.
There are more than 8 million dogs in households across the UK. Unfortunately, not all of them are taken for regular walks.
The study, led by Dr Carri Westgarth from the University’s Institute of Infection and Global Health, examined the demographic and behavioural factors that contribute towards owners reporting having a strong sense of encouragement and motivation to walk provided by their dogs, which the team call ‘the Lassie effect’.
As part of the study, data was collected from 629 dog owners participating in the RESIDE study, a 10-year study of 1813 residents in Perth, Western Australia.
The results of two survey outcomes, ‘Dog encouragement to walk’ (how often dog encouraged me to go walking in last month) and ‘Dog motivation to walk’ (Having a dog makes me walk more), were analysed to identify both positive and negative factors associated with them.
Explaining her findings Dr Westgarth said: “There are both dog and owner factors that are associated with an owner’s sense of encouragement and motivation to walk the dog, which in turn has been found to be associated with increased dog walking behaviour.
“We now know that owners feel more motivated to walk larger dogs, and if they believe that walking keeps the dog healthy. A strong relationship or attachment to the dog and reporting feeling that their dog enjoys walks is also motivating to owners.
The study was conducted in collaboration with Dr Hayley Christian and Professor Matthew Knuiman from The University of Western Australia’s School of Population Health, and was funded by the Medical Research Council.

Lane added the "ultimate irony" would be the possibility that Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, who landed himself in hot water for his racist medical school yearbook page, is the "lone survivor" from the ordeal.
Meanwhile, a woman came forward with a statement accusing Fairfax of attacking her when they were students at Duke University in North Carolina in 2000.
The two undergrads were "friends" at Duke but did not date or see each other romantically, according to Watson's lawyer, Nancy Erika Smith. "She said he knew that she didn't like what was happening, but he kept pushing her down".
Watson wants Fairfax to resign from office, Smith said. Watson reportedly told Fairfax about the incident.
Fairfax swiftly denied the allegation and called for an investigation into the accusation. Northam is facing mounting calls to resign. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of NY and Elizabeth Warren of MA.
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax presides over the state Senate at the capitol on Thursday. Gillibrand called the details "sickening and horrendous".
He pushed back against any "parallel" some may draw between the allegations made against Fairfax versus those made against Kavanaugh.
Yet, if Fairfax does not by Monday, Hope has pledged to file articles of impeachment.
The scandals have rattled the Democratic Party in a state where it has been gaining ground in recent years and that will play a key role in picking the victor of the 2020 presidential elections. Steve Newman, the Senate's pro tem, serve as both a voting senator and temporary lieutenant governor.
The revelation comes after Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring both admitted to wearing blackface while in college.

After The Crash by Michel Bussi has been huge hit in France, where it was originally published, despite Bussi’s previous novels being relatively moderate sellers. The story begins in 1980 with a plane crash in the Alps in which every passenger is killed and their remains burnt to ashes – except for a baby girl who is discovered at the very edge of the wreckage, alive and unharmed. The problem is that there were two baby girls travelling with their respective parents on the flight from Turkey, and in the days before DNA testing, there is no obvious way to determine which one the miracle is.
Is she Lyse-Rose de Carville, born into an immensely wealthy and powerful family? Or is she Emilie Vitral, whose working-class socialist grandparents scrape a living selling chips and crepes from a van on the seafront at Dieppe? Judges eventually come to a decision, but can ‘Lylie’, whose hybrid nickname is a constant reminder of her uncertain origins, ever be certain that the ruling was correct – and what effect has all this had on those who may or may not be her surviving family? Her possible sister Malvina de Carville is desperate to the point of madness for Lylie to be her sister, while her potential brother Marc Vitral, in a complicating twist, is equally desperate for her not to be his.
The gradual unravelling of the 18-year-mystery of Lylie’s identity takes place from multiple points of view, including long sections told in flashback in the notebooks of Credule Grand-Duc, a private detective engaged by the de Carvilles to uncover the truth.
After The Crash is without doubt a gripping thriller. It’s full of twists, murders, thwarted love affairs, unlikely alliances and a race against time (and across France) that features a particularly awkward road trip undertaken by Marc and Malvina. As a page-turning beach read, it’s a winner. It is also, however, absurdly improbable – something that’s even acknowledged at times by the characters, as Marc wonders aloud why Grand-Duc’s notebooks are presented in the style of a fictional whodunnit (or who-is-it) instead of an investigation report. Some of the cliffhangers are so contrived as to be absurd – pages ripped from files only to finish mid-sentence just before the truth is revealed, and so on. There are endless implausible complicating factors, unlikely stumbling blocks, perfectly-timed interruptions and repeated coincidences.
According to the blurb on the front of the book, The Sunday Times compared After The Crash compared to the work of Stieg Larsson, and although I don't think the comparison stands up to much scrutiny, I can see where it's coming from. After The Crash is very, very French in the same way that The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is very, very Swedish. More to the point, both of them have some impossibly larger than life characters and plots that are, while deeply engaging, essentially barking mad.
It’s always hard to review the quality of the prose itself in a translated novel, as it’s difficult to know what idiosyncrasies are the author’s and which are the work of the translator. There are plenty of sentences in After The Crash that seem clunky and amateurish to me, including some misplaced melodrama which almost made me laugh. However, the primarily colloquial, no-frills style does make for a very easy, fast-paced read.
In short, this is a highly entertaining read if you disengage your brain before you start. I did, and I enjoyed it. You just have to be happy to go along for the ride.

Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has thrown his support behind a proposal to ‘tax’ (more accurately ‘fine’) offenders who commit serious crime in order to fund victims of crime compensation schemes.
The fine would be $100 in the Magistrates’ Court and $350 in the County and Supreme Courts and would need to be paid within 28 days following conviction.
The proposal is a more narrow take on one put forward by the Victims of Crime Commissioner Greg Davies earlier this week to the Law Reform Review into the Victims of Crime Assistance Act.
Mr Davies proposed in his submission to the Review that a small fee be added to all criminal offences (including infringements) to fund victims of crime claims. This appears to have received some early support by the Andrews Government.
Matthew Guy, has previously supported more comprehensive redistribution schemes for victims of crime. Early last year he floated a proposal to force offenders to forfeit their superannuation money to victims.
It is estimated that the ‘crime tax’ scheme could raise up to $50 million to support Victims of Crime, however this benefit is likely to be majorly outweighed by unintended harms.
Crime statistics have consistently shown that individuals who commit crimes come from lower socio-economic and disadvantaged backgrounds.
Indeed, there is a clear correlation between socioeconomic disadvantage and an increased risk of reoffending. This correlation is particularly evident for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander offenders.
Any scheme which increases the dire straits of offenders is also likely to increase their propensity to commit further crimes. Whilst this scheme is intended to assist victims of crime, it may unintentionally increase the number of victims in the process.
A key feature of our legal system is that everyone is treated equally under the law. However, financial penalties in an economically unequal society do not punish individuals equally.
A $100 fine to be paid within 28 days following conviction will be experienced as a ‘slap on the wrist’ for an individual earning over $100,000 per year, but is highly disruptive for an individual surviving off a $538.00 a fortnight Newstart payment.
Indeed infringement regimes which imposed a fixed fine on offenders have been shown to disproportionately punish disadvantaged offenders.
In the recent discussions about the ‘crime tax’ little mention has been made of the partners, children or other dependent family members of offenders who may require financial support.
Any attempt to ‘tax’ offenders will inevitable have a negative financial impact on all innocent individuals who depend on the offender for financial security.
Crime not only causes direct harm to victims but also often has a devastating impact on the lives of friends and family of the offender. This needs to be considered in assessing the ethics of any proposed fine.
It is worth stopping for a moment to reflect on why neither the Andrews Government or the Opposition’s Guy supported the idea of Mr Davies to impose the “fee” on infringement notices.
I suspect the reason has much to do with the attraction of the narrower proposal to the major political parties – it’s an easy and vote winning policy that pits “them”(the criminal offender) against “us”(the law abiding citizen).
But not such an attractive dichotomy when you include all of “us” who get the occasional ticket.
Sadly, the crime tax proposal continues the trend in the lead up to the Victorian election of populist ‘law and order’ rhetoric overshadowing evidence-based criminal justice policy.

We know that relationships rule. We see our partners as keepers of solutions for their own businesses. We are committed to bringing out the best in people and teams through coaching, mentoring, facilitation and experiential education.
CEO Jane Wells Schooley discusses the biggest challenges facing businesses today. What is keeping leaders up at night?
After working with Northstar Team Development I have a different outlook on guest services and have applied major improvements in my communication. The assessment from the Master Class Series helps me understand others by understanding my own motivators and triggers. The outcomes from the workshops relate to my work in a different, positive approach. Northstar Team cares about their participants by using a variety of interactive activities as compared to lectures and provides a high level of trust.
Are you a lifelong learner? If you are, then, like me you find learning exciting. The Master Class Series One is exciting times 3. The 8-week class, facilitated by Northstar Team Development CEO, Jane Wells Schooley, impacted me intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. I recommend the series to anyone who wants to be their best self both personally and professionally. Before beginning the series, each particpant takes an assessment that clues you in on your behavioral style and the behavioral styles of others. You learn based on whom you are how others should interact with you and based on the style of others how best to interact with them. The assessment is a gold mine of information. The ensuing 8 weeks features a different topic each week from how to work effectively (which does not include multitasking!), to the difference between coaching and mentoring, and how best to coach others. Every week I left with nuggets of information that felt transformative. For example during the last week, while discussing death, Jane shared a sentiment that was profound and personally life changing given a life circumstance I was experiencing. While the course is highly organized and a standard core curriculum is delivered each series, because the course is interactive, each student has a chance to sway the content. You can’t be disappointed. You get to meet new people, Jane is an amazing instructor, each week you leave with resources (hand-outs, names of books to augment your learning, videos) and each topic is germane to personal and professional growth and development. Go Northstar!
Dealing with Northstar gets to the heart of the need of the client. They look at each vital part, not as a transaction but as a fulfillment of the client’s needs.
Throughout the leadership program, I have been able to identify my strengths and weaknesses and have developed a better sense of what I need to work on to continue to grow as a leader. The class assignments and materials, and the accountability partner relationships were unique to the program and supplemented the core curriculum with every day examples I can take back to my team. One other key thing that sets Northstar Team Development’s Master Class program apart is gaining different perspectives and challenges from a varied number of individuals from profit and non-profit organizations.

Taipei, Dec. 6 (CNA) Liberal International (LI) has expressed support for President Tsai Ing-wen's (蔡英文) efforts to uphold freedom and democracy in Taiwan and abroad, according to a statement issued Thursday by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
LI, a world federation of liberal and progressive parties, said in its World Today Resolution in Senegal on Nov. 30 that it recognizes the leading role Taiwan plays in the advancement of democracy and liberalism in the Asian region, the DPP said.
"LI therefore expresses concern on the continuing pressure it (Taiwan) faces in light of China's rising global influence," according to the resolution, which was adopted at LI's 62nd congress in Dakar, capital of Senegal.
"Liberal International supports the Tsai government in her efforts to uphold democracy and freedom, domestically and abroad, amidst immense pressure from China," the resolution states.
The LI congress also expressed concern about what it said was outside interference in Taiwan's elections.
"The recent local elections results indicated that the government of President Tsai is faced with increasing threats of economic and political influence and meddling from an authoritarian institution," according to the resolution.
It said China's continued military build-up in the South China Sea, including the construction of bases on disputed atolls, was alarming.
LI said it was also concerned about "China's increasing pressure on Taiwan's diplomatic allies, international bodies and global companies to strictly adhere to the Mainland's interpretation of One-China policy."
The 62nd Congress of LI, which took place in Dakar Nov. 28-30, was hosted by Alliance Pour la République (APR) and Senegalese President Macky Sall, with the participation of 218 representatives from 41 countries around the world, including the presidents of Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, and Liberia.

Dissertation writing can be extremely tough. The highly specialized level of knowledge required can be taxing on an individual, and this along with the high level of effort required to conduct your research and write everything down, can be highly stressing. Thankfully there are ways in which you can make it easier on yourself to write a great paper that will impress your supervisor. These tips have been compiled to alleviate the stress and anxiety many students experience while writing their thesis.
Choosing the right topic is pivotal in making your work easier for you. When you supervisor mentioned that PhDs consist of writing something original, you probably thought that it meant you had to completely revitalize your subject field with your paper. However this is simply not the case. Think of how thousands of PhDs are granted every year. If all subject fields were revolutionized with each and every thesis then humans will have colonized Mars by now!
The reality is that all new knowledge is built upon already existing knowledge. So you need to choose a topic that is an extension of current ongoing research, which you can take a little further. Choosing a topic with this view will make your life much easier. Instead of splitting hairs trying to find something field changing you will enjoy the process of writing your dissertation.
Making use of adequate research tools is also important in making your life easier when writing your paper. You can use many avenues to cite good research in your work.
Using the Internet is one of the best ways to research well. Most, if not all, ground breaking research conducted at universities can be found online, usually on the website of the university which granted funds for the research. These papers are usually, but not always, available to view. If you cannot view them then do not hesitate to send an email to the relevant faculty at the university – sometimes you have to pay to access research papers.
You should also access your university’s publications to see what research you r professors have also done in their field. The advantage of this is that you can also easily ask them for further information or clarity.
You university will have a library and they will have stocked many books relevant to your field of study. You should go online and search for the best books pertaining to your subject field and borrow these books from the library. Many books written by specialists in your fields will have very important information that you can use in your paper that you cannot find online.
So now before you start writing your work, make a plan for what you will be aiming to write for each section. This will help give structure to your writing, and planning will ensure that you have all your ideas written on paper, so in case you forget them or go off track you can refer back to your ideas.
Dissertation writing can be extremely tough and taxing on students, but with the right guidance it can be made easier. These tips will greatly help in reducing stress and coping with the heavy workload that comes with completing PhDs. We wish you the best of luck in your work and hope you can succeed with the guidance of these tips.

In his commentary on Habakkuk, Calvin comments that the difference between justification on the basis of faith, and justification on the basis of one’s own works, indicates not only a distorted view of God and salvation, but also betrays a misguided interpretative principle for one’s own self, and for the world. Moreover, Calvin contends, it is only with the appropriate lens of interpretation – justifying faith in Jesus Christ – that any man will ever find rest in this life, in the midst of evil, sin, and suffering.
This verse stands connected with the last, for the Prophet means to show that nothing is better than to rely on God’s word, how much soever may various temptations assault our souls. We hence see that nothing new is said here, but that the former doctrine is confirmed — that our salvation is rendered safe and certain through God’s promise alone, and that therefore we ought not to seek any other haven, where we might securely sustain all the onsets of Satan and of the world. But he sets the two clauses, the one opposed to the other: every man who would fortify himself would ever be subject to various changes, and never attain a quiet mind; then comes the other clause — that man cannot otherwise obtain rest than by faith.
But this principle ought ever to be remembered — that whatever benefits the Lord confers on the faithful in this life, are intended to confirm them in the hope of the eternal inheritance; for however liberally God may deal with us, our condition would yet be indeed miserable, were our hope confined to this earthly life. As God then would raise up our minds to the hopes of eternal salvation whenever he aids us in this world, and declares himself to be our Father; hence, when the Prophet says that the faithful shall live, he certainly does not confine this life to so narrow limits, that God will only defend us for a day or two, or for a few years; but he proceeds much farther, and says, that we shall be made really and truly happy; for though this whole world may perish or be exposed to various changes, yet the faithful shall continue in permanent and real safety. Hence, when Habakkuk promises life in future to the faithful, he no doubt overleaps the boundaries of this world, and sets before the faithful a better life than that which they have here, which is accompanied with many sorrows, and proves itself by its shortness to be unworthy of being much desired.
Men indeed glory in a foolish conceit as to their own righteousness: but all philosophic virtues, as they call them, which men think they possess through free-will, are mere fumes; nay, they are the delusions of the devil, by which he bewitches the minds of men, so that they come not to God, but, on the contrary, precipitate themselves into the lowest deep, where they seek to exalt themselves beyond measure. However this may be, let us be fully convinced, that in man there is not even a particle either of rectitude or of righteousness; and that whatever men may try to do of themselves, is an abomination before God.
Grant, Almighty God, that as the corruption of our flesh ever leads us to pride and vain confidence, we may be illuminated by thy word, so as to understand how great and how grievous is our poverty, and be thus taught wholly to deny ourselves, and so to present ourselves naked before thee, that we may not hope for righteousness or for salvation from any other source than from thy mercy alone, nor seek any rest but only in Christ; and may we cleave to thee by the sacred and inviolable bond of faith, that we may boldly despise all those empty boastings by which the ungodly exult over us, and that we may also so cast ourselves down in true humility, that thereby we may be carried upward above all heavens, and become partakers of that eternal life which thine only begotten Son has purchased for us by his own blood. Amen.

text: This is going to be the chewy piece of candy that you have been searching for in an e liquid. Sour Apple Gum is the e liquid that is ready to give you a couple sweet and sour flavors to give you an amazing combination. When you take a pull of this e liquid, you can taste the sour flavor making its way in. It tries to be sneaky with it at first, but there is no hiding such a potent taste. Do not worry though because the candy flavor from the gum is going to give you a bit of sweetness to balance everything out. But can the gum hints take on the sour and the tart sensation of the green apple alone? No, no it can't. The sour flavor is too potent and the green apple flavor is just so rich and juicy that your mouth might begin to pucker when it meets all of these flavors at once. However, there is one flavor that is going to help out the gum flavor so that this whole experience does not become unbearable. The icy, yet sweet, spearmint is going to give this e liquid a feeling like no other. Once the flavors have all gathered and battled it out to see whether sweet or sour is better, they make their way down your throat so that you receive a tiny throat hit. You will feel a burst of flavor splitting up inside your mouth. The sourness will become stronger, and the sweetness will become richer. While all this happens, you feel as if you just popped several amazing sour green apple piece of candy that is enjoyable and fun to savor. Exhaling will be amusing because you will be able to watch all of the clouds as they flow out of your mouth and vanish before your very eyes! This is the perfect e liquid for individuals that do not mind a little sour punch.

Love has no boundaries and on this Valentine Day here is a story of a husband and his never ending love towards his bed ridden wife for the last 25 years. His wife is suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and needs utmost care to live.
In today’s world where we see marriages ends as fast as it happens the story of Haresh Dodeja is a living example for everyone. The love story which starts about thirty years ago is still going strong in spite of illness of his wife who is bed ridden for the last 15 years.
32 years ago love blossoms between Haresh Dodeja and Manjitkaur Kundaliya from Rajkot. They both ran away from their homes get married in 1989 and start their new life. However everything was not good for them as Manjitkaur was detected Multiple Sclerosis which has no treatment.
“Before marriage my wife had symptoms of the disease but it was undetected as that time no MRI machine was available here. After marriage she worked for two to three years and in 1993 the problem increased after the birth of my son. In 1999 the problem deteriorates further and in 2003 she was totally bed ridden depending on us,” said Dodeja.
The strong bonding between the two gives strength to Haresh and he slowly changed his lifestyle accordingly. “I am working in a bank and to take care of my wife I changed my lifestyle accordingly. I adopt a girl and taught her the whole system of my house including nursing training to take care of my wife as a daughter. She is well settled in Vadodara now and even after marriage takes care of my wife like a daughter to her mother,” said Dodeja.
After so many years of care Haresh Dodeja still love her wife and don’t allow frustration to get inside his mind. “Sometimes I feel frustrated a little but the smile on my wife face is what gives me strength. He total body is still only the head is moving. Last one and half years ago she also lost her voice and the only thing that keeps me moving is her smile,” said an emotional Haresh Dodeja remembering the old days.
With so many years of love and care the couple is still together and gives true meaning to the day we called Valentine Day.

Abstract: Objective To summarize and discuss the laboratory characteristics of children with incomplete Kawasaki disease（IKD）in recent 10 years and provide some evidence for early diagnosis. Methods A retrospective review was performed on 67 children with IKD and 67 children with respiratory tract infection（bacterial infection）from 2005 to 2015 in the First Hospital of China Medical University. Results The age of children with IKD varied from 2 months to 11.3 years，with the average age of 31 months. Totally 86.5% of the children were less than 5 years old. The male to female ratio was 2∶1. The incidence of the disease in spring and summer was 72%. The incidences of the increasing of white blood cell，C- reactive protein，alanine aminotransferase，aspartate aminotransferase，glutamyl transpeptidase，and platelet and the decreasing of hemoglobin and serum albumin were 82%，94%，27%，24%，45%，72%，61%，and 94%，respectively. Conclusion The levels of the hemoglobin（<109 g/L）， serum albumin（<34 g/L），platelet（>393×109/L），C-reactive protein（>74 mg/L），alanine aminotransferase（>51 U/L），and glutamyl transpeptidase（>43 U/L）may have a certain reference value for the early diagnosis of IKD.

A new compiler feature in Xcode 5 is modules. Modules simplify importing header files and linking frameworks. They also can build your project faster, working similarly to precompiled headers.
To use modules you must be using either the Mac OS X 10.9 SDK or the iOS 7 SDK. Modules do not work with earlier SDKs. Module support is currently limited to C and Objective-C code.
Xcode has two build settings for modules. If you want to use modules in your Xcode project, you must set the Enable Modules (C and Objective C) build setting to Yes. Setting the Link Frameworks Automatically build setting to Yes keeps you from having to manually add frameworks to your Xcode project.
Currently you can use @import only with Apple’s frameworks.
If you have existing code that uses #import or #include to include headers, you can support modules without changing your code. Set the Enable Modules build setting to Yes, and Xcode will use modules to build your project.

text: A cavalier individualist, Francis Picabia became an internationally renowned avant-garde artist, spearheading Paris and New York Dada with his friend Marcel Duchamp and also contributing to Dada in Zurich and Barcelona. Picabia was a car enthusiast who embraced modernity, viewing the machine as a form expressive of the modern spirit from which he drew a new and revolutionary artistic idiom. Picabia also drew upon the tenets of the Puteaux Group and, upon arriving in New York to exhibit at the Armory Show in 1913, was lauded as a leading Cubist. He worked for a time in Orphic Cubism, a blend of Cubist, Futurist, and Fauvist themes and techniques to which he added ‘‘abstracted’’ industrial and biomorphic forms. Although he maintained an interest in the figure, Picabia is known primarily for his early dialogue with abstraction and his development of a quasi-machine aesthetic. He looked to industrial diagrams for artistic inspiration and, upon returning to New York in 1915, during a period of involvement with photographer and modern arts patron Alfred Stieglitz’s famous 291 Gallery and journal, produced the famous Mechanomorph series. Depicting Stieglitz and his entourage as bizarre, seemingly dysfunctional, industrial forms, Picabia’s Mechanomorphs shaped the visual vocabulary of New York, and later Paris, Dada. Picabia’s ironic stance in relation to art and culture has prompted scholars to interpret his conflation of human and machine parts as also playful punning of morality, sexuality, and blind faith in technology.

This recipe calls for my Basic Tomato Sauce and shows why it is an essential part of my cooking. As you will see, Basic Tomato Sauce is great as a base for numerous pasta sauces, but it is also an essential ingredient to my Chicken Parmesan recipe.
The traditional method for making this dish is to coat the chicken with grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs, hence the name. But most of us make a different version that could be called “Chicken Mozzarella” where the chicken is coated with bread crumbs, topped with Mozzarella cheese and a basic tomato sauce, then finished with some grated Parmesan cheese.
Both cheeses are delicious but completely different in texture and taste. Parmesan is a hard, dry cheese made from cow’s milk and has a rich, sharp flavor. There are Parmesan cheeses made all over the world but the best is Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Although more expensive, this granular textured cheese whose processing method hasn’t changed in the last 700 years is usually aged for 2 years. Two reasons why Parmigiano-Reggiano has better taste and consistency than other parmesans; (1) the flavor of the milk comes from cows on strictly controlled diets, and (2) the strict production codes dating back centuries.
Mozzarella (maht-suh-REHL-lah) is a soft white cheese with a mild flavor typically made from cow’s milk. It came from southern Italy where it was originally made from water buffalo milk. If you are lucky enough to find real buffalo mozzarella in your local market, try it. Although expensive, it’s like eating ice cream compared to frozen yogurt.
Whisk the eggs and water together in one bowl and stir the Parmesan cheese into the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
Keeping one hand for dry ingredients and the other for wet ingredients, dredge the breasts in the flour coating both sides, then the egg/water mixture, and then the parmesan/breadcrumb mixture.
Sauté the breasts in the olive oil for one minute on each side in an ovenproof sauté pan until the breasts are golden brown. Don’t over crowd the pan or your chicken breasts will steam and not sauté properly. (If you don’t have an oven proof sauté (frying) pan, sauté in your pan and transfer to a casserole dish.
Remove from heat, cover the breasts with basic tomato sauce and top with slices of mozzarella.
Cook in oven until the chicken is done approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
I like to serve this dish with a side of spaghetti topped with some of my basic tomato sauce. A glass of Chianti goes great with this dish.
Hey there! When you refer to grated Parmesan, are we talking the powdery stuff?
One more thing, can I use the fresh breadcrumbs they sell at the bakery? Or does it need to be the kind in the can?
Hi Justine, in our house, I try to use freshly grated Parmesan cheese whenever possible. I’m not sure what you mean by the “powdery stuff” but if you are referring to the cheese in a green can, go for it if you can’t get your hands on the real deal. As for the fresh breadcrumbs, yes, they will work perfectly.

Any sale is about much more than simply providing a product or service. A sale is really about delivering a promise to the customer. Unfortunately, many companies have no idea what their sales promise is. Sure, they may have a company vision or a mission statement, but those things usually don't address the specific processes the company uses to deliver value to its customers.
A true sales promise goes way beyond a tangible deliverable. It's about the customer's interaction with your company throughout the sales cycle. It's a sense that everyone from every department is aligned on customer satisfaction. It's about the service and interaction with the company after the sale. It's about making customers feel confident that your company as a whole — not just a single product, service, or salesperson—can deliver the results the customer wants and exceed expectations.
In essence, it takes every single department to fulfill your company's sales promise. When you actively define the promise you want to make to your customers, and then make sure everyone in the company knows what that promise is, you can deliver on your promise and exponentially grow your sales.
making sure your sales promise is crystal clear.
In order to deliver on a promise, you first have to know what the promise is. Get the various departments together and ask them, "What do we want our customers to experience as a result of working with us? What do we want our promise to be?" Then listen to the issues or expectations each department brings up.
Having this conversation in a group format with the various departments represented is crucial, because people need to see how the different departments work together to deliver on the promise. Of course the billing department wants to send out accurate invoices and reminders, the engineering department wants to create workable solutions, and the shipping department wants things shipped on time. But if no one sees how their process impacts another department's process, then the process as a whole will break down — along with the sales promise.
Therefore, after you define the promise in general terms, pay attention to the small details of the promise. Look at everything, including customer callback times, product turnaround times, billing cycles, shipping times, customer service follow-up, etc. Be specific. Simply saying, "We promise to call customers back quickly" is not specific. What is quickly? One hour? Four hours? Two days? Without the details defined, it's easy to break the sales promise.
Once you have the promise defined, provide ongoing training to each team member on what the sales promise means and how everyone in the company can work together to deliver on the promise. Educate all new hires with the premise and details of the sales promise, and ensure that current employees are always on board with the message.
Also, make sure everyone in every department can clearly communicate what the company's sales promise is and how they and their departments play a role in fulfilling that promise. Make it clear that everyone is responsible for fulfilling some part of the sale and impacting some aspect of the customer's experience.
Finally, as part of the training, ensure that everyone understands it's their job to hold each other accountable for delivering on the promise, and train them on how to do so. Remove the corporate silos, where departments operate in a vacuum, and train people how to communicate across department lines so they can all work together to ensure that the sales promise gets delivered to every single customer.
With all the details worked out, and everyone in alignment with the company's sales promise, it's time to communicate that promise to customers. But customers don't need or want to know all the detail work you've just done. They simply want all those details to flow smoothly as they interact with you.
A good sales promise from a customer's perspective is something broad and global — something that resonates with people. Perhaps all the detail work you've just created gives customers "the easiest shopping experience ever" or "the best casual dining atmosphere" or "the latest technology innovations simplified."
Whatever your promise is, promote it in a way that speaks to what the customer truly wants. With that broad and global sales promise being promoted, employees will then be empowered to use the newly-created processes to go above and beyond to exceed the customers' expectations.
When the people within your company focus on the fact that everyone in every department is involved in the sales process, creating and living by a sales promise is much easier. So if you want to grow sales and create a following of raving fans who are eager to do business with you, get started on your sales promise today.
Remember, the sale is just the start; the promise is ongoing.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is coming to the old consoles as well as to the new ones, so even the people who haven’t upgraded (yet) can experience the game. But if it were up to Kojima, he’d prefer people to play it on PlayStation 4.
There are no huge differences but according to what Kojima said earlier, the better hardware will allow for more realism and an improved performance. It will also make use of the DualShock 4’s built in microphone.

Gone are the days when you must talk to any potential love matches via snail mail or wiat for them to call. Today, it’s easy to meet people from all around the globe due to the internet, which also allows us to chat online to people for free or low cost via a variety of apps or maybe a chat line. Now that we are mostly keeping things to texting or chat lines, there is a whole new protocol of how to interact with potential dates online. Whether you’re new to online chat or just want to find out how to better communicate with people via text, these are some tips that can help you!
In today’s fast paced world, people are always on the go. They don’t have time to read long paragraphs and diatribes. Keep your messages to short 1-2 sentence lines that keep the conversation going and encourage discussion. If using a chat line, save your long stories for later!
As previously mentioned, people are busy. Even if you can see that someone has read your message, give them some time to reply. It’s reasonable to wait a whole day for someone to get back to you. People have work, families and other responsibilities that might be more pressing than texting a potential match, but they will get back to you eventually. The worst thing you can do is get mad at someone who doesn’t reply within 5 minutes. Chat line users should make sure to pause to let the other person talk!
Even if you have an idea of how you want the conversation to go, make sure you’re reading what the other person is saying and responding to their messages before you put your own agenda into the texting conversation.
4. Avoid all caps, too many emoticons, etc.
Too many exclamation points can make you seem too excited and too many emoticons can make you seem silly. Keep your use of these text assists to a minimum so that they make a point when you actually do use them for their intended purpose.
This is the most important dating advice, no matter what the medium. Be honest and display your true self whether you’re talking to someone face to face, via text message or online chat.

I was doing some geostatistical analysis (variogram+kriging) for a "presence only" type data in a species distribution modeling context. Since, we know that when estimating the (empirical) variogram, the attribute is basically assumed to be a realization of continuous random variables (although an attribute can occur in counts too). If the attribute is just the presence, and no sub-categories then all the values at all positions will be same (say 1, if we denote a presence by 1). Hence the variogram can not be calculated, not even the indicator variogram. One of the approaches to deal with such data pseudo absences or background data were generated using some algorithm e.g. Maxent etc (see e.g. [1, 2]). The pseudo absences are generated taking many factors into account and stacked/combined with actual data. This is equivalent to merely generating random positions (x, y coordinates) and giving them an absence status (say 0s). The new data is now a binary data with two categories, presence 1 and absences 0.
How many absences (as compared to actual data) should be generated and how to decide it?
Tomislav Hengl, Henk Sierdsema, Andreja Radović, Arta Dilo, Spatial prediction of species’ distributions from occurrence-only records: combining point pattern analysis, ENFA and regression-kriging, Ecological Modelling, Volume 220, Issue 24, 24 December 2009, Pages 3499-3511.
Interesting method to use; have you considered running the model with equal numbers of pseudo absences and then increasing or decreasing the proportion of known absences to pseudo absences to see if a trend appears in how it effects the model output? This approach may also give you insight into the uncertainty of the model as well.

The Hamptons and North Fork restaurants landscape seems to be ever changing, especially in these final months before summer. Here is just some of the local food world news and scuttlebutt this April.
Customers at BuddhaBerry in Sag Harbor last Saturday congratulated the Food Network personality and former Dan’s Taste of Summer host Katie Lee and her fiancé, producer Ryan Biegel, on their recent engagement. The pair got engaged during a romantic trip to France late last month. Biegel worked with his soon-to-be bride on Beach Bites with Katie Lee, among other reality shows.
The South Fork’s only Cypriot Cordon-Bleu trained chef, Water Mill’s Bistro Été owner Chef Arie Pavlou’s April 12 cooking class—followed by an equally exclusive dinner—sold out weeks ago. So he added an April 19 class and that sold out in a day! You can now call to be placed on the May waiting list or book your own private event.
There are still a few seats left for Mattituck cookbook author Stephanie Villani’s talk at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton on April 12, at 5:30 p.m. She’s bringing samples of her smoked fish dip recipe from The Fisherman’s Wife: Sustainable Recipes and Salty Stories.
Sag Harbor organic farming pioneers Dale Haubrich and Bette Lacina have just returned from their permaculture farm in Arizona where they winter and they’ll soon be bagging up their famous baby greens for sale at their Sag Harbor farmstand (next to Bay Burger).
Francesca’s on Ponquogue Avenue in Hampton Bays, voted Dan’s Best of the Best Pizza is expanding! More dining, more pizza, more red sauce. The restaurant has also switched over to a new gift card processor and phasing out the old cards. If you have an old one, bring it in to redeem the balance or transfer to a new one.
Orlando’s Cafe in Hampton Bays is now under new management. The newly named Azao Cafe Restaurant is offering everything from the Orlando’s menu plus great service.
Wolfgang Ban, who owns the popular East Village Austrian restaurant Edie & the Wolf is set to open a French Mediterranean hotspot called Maison Vivienne in the former Kozu space at 136 Main Street in Southampton.
Claudio’s in Greenport has sold after 147 years of same-family ownership, but the new owners are wasting no time getting the trio of restaurants—Claudio’s, Crabby Jerry’s and Claudio’s Clam Bar—back in business. More news coming soon.
Dan’s Taste of Summer is back for another season in the Hamptons, and it all kicks off on Memorial Day Weekend with the second annual Dan’s Rosé Soirée presented by Porsche. Get tickets at RoseHamptons.com.

Welcome! I'm an entrepreneur and startup mentor, and I was proudly nicknamed "The Roadshow" by my sales team. Most recently I co-founded SocMetrics, where we develop AI-powered tools for SMBs to build their Instagram followers in a targeted way. Prior to that I co-founded Going, acquired by AOL.
You can follow me on Twitter @royrod, see my About Me or LinkedIn, or email me.
In 1997 I had just finished my undergrad and was planning to go to a PhD program. Due to timing (Georgia Tech was on the quarter system, which I loved, but since changed to semesters) I had a gap and ended up doing a follow-on master’s at Georgia Tech, but decided to start seeing what my life might be like with the PhD by doing a summer at Xerox PARC, my dream research job.
A number of us from Tech where there that summer: Josh Marinacci (now an O’Reilly Java author and Sun evangelist, moving on to Palm), Jason Ellis (who did continue down the PhD and research path and is now doing very interesting work at IBM Research on leveraging mobile technology in Africa), Rob Orr and others. And who can forget the inspirational tale of “Mike Netscape and Nicole HP”?
Back the my total savings was probably $500, so finding an apartment and transportation were a pretty big ordeal. For housing, Josh’s aunt and uncle in San Jose generously put us up (well, I guess they would do it for him, but generously let me stay as well 🙂 ) for our first month while we looked for a place, which we eventually found in Mountain View. Renting a car for 3 months was exhorbitant, so I ended up buying a bike for $200 and biking a few miles from Mountain View to Palo Alto, which ended with a killer hill –Hillview Ave. to Coyote Hill Road– to the PARC campus. Sometimes the hill was just too steep and I would go up a third of the way and then into the Fuji labs and walk the rest of the way up.
The place we landed at in Mountain View was Village Lake Apartments, 777 West Middlefield Rd. As Rhonda Dean said in White Men Can’t Jump, “We live in Vista View but ain’t no vista and ain’t no view.” But it was a nice, quiet place for the summer. It was a sweltering hot summer, and to make it through I would walk to the Fairway nearby and get a freezing-cold ice cream pop. You know those ice-cold-beer commercials where people are stuck to the couch and all of a sudden a magic cold front sweeps through and they’re free and refreshed? Yeah it was like that. Only with a chocolate-covered vanilla popsicle instead of brewski (I was still a teetotaler at that point 🙂 ).
The part that tickles my memory now is that we were a mile from the Googleplex- except Google didn’t exist yet, they would incorporate later that year. However the G-boyz had already come out to PARC to give a talk about Pagerank. I remember thinking “yes, this definitely makes sense to me, and the recursive authority approach seems better than the current purely textual search engines.” Back then I had no idea the level of influence across the Valley and the world would follow.
Many other memories from that summer -of course working with Keith Edwards; the amazing feeling of history at PARC’s Computer Science Lab with Mark Weiser’s presence permeating as an aura of inspiration throughout the place; the site visits to Sun, IBM Almaden (where I first met the inimitable and unforgettable Ted Selker); and most of all the amazing night sky near Yosemite with a density and brightness of stars like I had never seen before or since.
I’ve been an entrepreneur, in one capacity or another, for over 15 years. I’ve been fortunate to develop a network of fellow entrepreneurs (David Cancel, Nabeel Hyatt, Andy Payne …), co-founders (Rebecca Xiong, Geoff Menegay), board members (George Bell, Bob Davis, John Pleasants …), advisors (Coach Wei, Eric Silberstein …), team members (Brian Morgan, Dr. Raymond Lau, Evan Schumacher …) among myriad others that has helped me learn, question and grow.
I have advised dozens of fellow entrepreneurs starting out, and have always found it very rewarding (and, I’m told, usually helpful to them as well). Now that AOL has acquired Going and I’ve had some time to reflect, I’m very excited to begin sharing some of what I’ve learned -face plants, sweet successes, the whole gamut- with a broader community.
how2startup – Entrepreneurial Learnings is just getting going but I hope to make it a real resource and community for entrepreneurs, collecting a lot of knowledge and tools that are dispersed by the sharp bloggers out there and doing what I can to further innovation, creativity and more people taking the bold leap that is, as David Cancel puts it, “making something from nothing.” Please join me there.
Hi there, welcome to my site. Although most of my blogging and social media activity is taking place elsewhere, I may occasionally post more personal commentary here. For now the only content is the About Me page which probably borders on the ludicrously long, but hopefully has enough entertaining nuggets to justify itself.
Why is this blog called The Roadshow?
I have had many nicknames over the years, especially ones around the alliteration in my name. My favorite without doubt, though, was The Roadshow. I believe it was Paul Souza, now at Google, who came up with it while we were colleagues at iPhrase. Roadshows have a few meanings, from finance meetings for a new offering, to PR tours, but in this case it referred to all the sales calls we were doing. Paul was the bag-carrying sales guy and I was the product manager, out evangelizing, getting real-world feedback, and -oh yes- selling with the credibility that not being officially in sales affords. We made a good team.
Since those days I could never wait to get in front of real people -users, clients, investors, doesn’t matter who as long as they aren’t on the payroll or otherwise at risk of groupthink- to learn from, evangelize, and interact with them.
I was born in Argentina and have lived in Brazil, Mexico and Germany, and in the US since 1992.
I used to be a hacker, but was always interested in the humanities as well. Probably that is what took me to grad school at the MIT Media Lab, to do research in social media before the term was common as part of the Sociable Media Group.
After grad school I worked in engineering, usability, product management, marketing and then general management.
I’ve been involved with startups one way or another most of my life, and most recently co-founded Going -a user generated local events company for people looking for cool things to do in major cities, as well as for venue owners, event promoters and ticket sellers- which AOL acquired in June 2009.
Startups are still my passion, as I work toward my longer-term interests in furthering education, international cooperation and other goals.

Maybe we do this instead of future elections.
Noted Corvette enthusiast vice-president Joe Biden will soon be joining in retirement former Secretary of State and noted Volvo enthusiast Colin Powell, and to celebrate, Jay Leno organized a drag race between the two for an upcoming episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
Biden is the original owner of a gorgeous green '67 'Vette given to him by his father (who was a Chevy dealer) as a wedding present. It is a 327 4-speed, so it is the real deal.
Powell, meanwhile, recently got a hot 2015 Corvette as a Christmas gift from his children, and he's surely been looking for a chance to show off its speed.
To see who wins, we will have to tune in to Jay Leno's Garage. But numbers don't lie and Biden's 300-horsepower classic is hopelessly overmatched by Powell's newer 455-horsepower hardware. Regardless, just remember that Biden's real car is this cool Corvette, and not the tacky Trans-Am in the infamous the shirtless car-washing photos of this Onion story.
