In today’s demanding and unpredictable business environment it is of paramount importance that an organisation’s teams are agile, effective, productive, innovative, fully engaged and are working towards a common goal.
In order to ensure ever increasingly complex challenges are handled in the most effective way, in recent times many organisations have brought together multi-disciplinary teams with a goal of facilitating team performance and agility through a sharing of a variety of skills, knowledge, information, expertise and contacts.
However, this diversity can lead to stress points in the team, as bringing together a group of very unique people whose values, experience and beliefs are very different, can have a somewhat dysfunctional impact on the team.
At the heart of any great team is great team leadership that inspires all members to be and give their best and ultimately achieve the goals set for the team, although achieving this is not without its challenges.
So, how can team leaders inspire and get the best out of their people?
Organisational psychologists have identified a set of key principles, that when acknowledged can drive the success and performance of teams and increases effectiveness, engagement and ultimately the wellbeing of team members.
Identify what unites us - to achieve ‘buy in’ from all members, it is first necessary to identify and build an identity and vison that all members share. Yes, it can initially be time-consuming, however by working through tensions, frustrations and anxieties that members have and ensuring that there is a collective vision, the team will be more cohesive, more resilient to setbacks and significantly stronger.
In addition, the team will be able to thrive, perform and learn more effectively as members are more fulfilled and satisfied.
Work together on how to achieve the shared vision - to feel a deep sense of purpose and to encourage engagement people need a sense of meaning to what they do at work and need to feel they are drivers of their own destiny.
By ensuring there are opportunities for employees to contribute to a shared vision through voicing their ideas and being heard everyone can feel respected, valued and able to achieve through interdependent working.
Building team potency - when a shared vision is achieved the result is a strong common belief that the team can handle the challenges and setbacks that today’s working environment can throw at them. This team potency builds resilience, engagement and increases the overall wellbeing of the team. As a direct consequence the team works harder and offers more successful, productive and innovative results.
Be clear on roles and responsibilities - people like to know where they stand and what is expected of them in the role they perform, as without it they can feel adrift which can impact the whole team's performance, successes and wellbeing.
To reduce stress, frustration, conflict and possible duplication it is paramount to clearly define each team members role and communicate to all.
Create a culture of learning and psychological safety - Irish writer James Joyce probably said it best when he wrote “mistakes are the portals of discovery.” Mistakes should be viewed as “cognitive catalysts”; they challenge our assumptions and stimulate the formation of new and even better ideas.
In today’s ever increasing and pressurised working environment teams need to feel that they are able to openly innovate and experiment which initially might increase the number of mistakes made. However, the long-term gains can mitigate any short-term losses and increase the team’s performance overall.

Ten years ago, on January 2, 2004, I hit "publish" on the first post for this blog: Canadian Privacy Law Blog: Welcome to the Canadian Privacy Law blog. That was immediately after the full coming-into-force of the Canadian federal privacy law, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
Since then, there have been 3647 posts and over two million page views. But, more importantly, I've had the opportunity to connect with and in many cases meet many of my colleagues and others who share my interest in privacy law. As a lawyer based in the relative hinterlands of Atlantic Canada, it has enabled me to build a practice exclusively devoted to privacy and internet law, working with great clients around the world who have to grapple with questions related to Canadian privacy law. I am sure that this would not have been possible without my blog.
For those who have been following since day one and others who have found this blog more recently, thanks so much for your support and encouragement. I am grateful. And I hope I can keep it up for another ten.

Almost a million Australians, both men and women, served in the Second World War. They fought in campaigns against Germany and Italy in Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa, as well as against Japan in south-east Asia and other parts of the Pacific.
The Battle of Britain: a brilliant triumph that involved far more than just the chosen few At 4.30pm on 14 August 1940, 87 Squadron scrambled to their Hurricanes, quickly got airborne and started speeding towards Weymouth on the Dorset coast. “One hundred and twenty plus approaching Warmwell from the south,” came the calm voice of the ground controller in the pilots’ ears. “Good luck, chaps.” Pilot Officer Roland ‘Bee’ Beamont swallowed hard and began desperately to scan the sky. They were over Lyme Regis and flying at around 12,000ft when Beamont saw them, still out to sea – what looked to him like a gigantic swarm of bees all revolving around each other in a fantastical spiral from around 8,000 to 14,000ft. As the Hurricanes drew closer, Beamont could see there were about 50 Stuka dive-bombers and two-engine Messerschmitt 110s above, and single-engine Me109s above them.
The Australian Home Front during World War 2 - Overview The Home Front - World War 2 An overview by Robert Lewis Initial Reactions When war broke out in September 1939 the Australian Government was much better prepared for it than in 1914. Stalingrad: the crushing of the Reich From its foundation in the mid‑16th century, the old fortress town at the confluence of the Tsaritsa and Volga rivers has had three identities. Originally called Tsaritsyn and today labelled Volgograd, it was known for a mere 36 years (1925–61) by the name with which it will be eternally associated – Stalingrad. The very name quickly became shorthand for the Nazi defeat in the east, and even at the time was considered a turning point of the Second World War, by all sides – Soviet and German included. At the 70th anniversary of Stalingrad, the achievement of the Soviet people remains just as awe-inspiring.

(Baton Rouge, La.) Did you know real firefighters wear pink? At Livingston Parish Volunteer Fire Department District 5 they do to help raise awareness and funds to support the fight against breast cancer.
Selling and wearing pink fire helmets during October 2014 was the department’s first annual Geaux Pink fundraiser benefitting Mary Bird Perkins – Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center.
As part of the purchase of a helmet, the participating company’s name was printed on the front shield. The firefighters wore the helmets, which met official safety requirements, on all calls throughout the month of October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. When not actively in use, the distinctive helmets were displayed on the front of the fire truck to help promote sales to other companies.
“Even if the firefighters were just out to lunch or at an event, they would leave the pink helmet on their dashboard to keep promoting both the business donor and breast cancer awareness,” explained Chad Robinson, assistant fire chief.
One hundred percent of the funds raised through this Geaux Pink event will help support early detection and screening programs and raise breast cancer awareness throughout the Greater Baton Rouge area.
Fire Chief Koczrowski presented a check to the Cancer Center on Dec. 4 with representatives of participating businesses in attendance. Supporters included Big Mike’s Sports Bar & Grill; Cornerstone Custom Cabinets; Gulf Coast Hydro; Hooters; Magnificent Monograms; Maria’s Mexican; MJ Networking; Premier Credit Union; Tim Kinchen Fine Homes LLC.

Are you looking for additional financing, above and beyond federal student loans, for college? Or maybe you’re considering refinancing your student loans with a private lender?
Either way, the process for finding and applying for private student loans is a bit different from the process for federal student loans. With federal loans, your loans are assigned to a loan servicer, and the terms you get are whatever the federal government has signed off on for that school year.
With private loans, on the other hand, you can shop around for your lender and even negotiate for better rates and repayment terms. You might assume that private lenders only offer one student loan option with a set interest rate and repayment terms. But this is actually not the case. Several popular banks and private financing companies offer a variety of interest rates, as well as flexible repayment plans.
Before we launch into the list of five student loan companies that currently offer flexible repayment options, let’s get something straight. Flexible repayment here isn’t the same thing as flexible repayment under federal student loan programs.
With federal student loans, you can choose from a variety of repayment plans at the time you enter into repayment. And throughout your repayment terms, you can also change your repayment plan when needed. So if you start out with a higher standard payment but run into financial trouble, you can easily switch to an income-driven plan with a lower monthly payment.
This is not necessarily the case with private student loans. With these loans, you’ll choose your payment plan at the beginning of the loan term. The flexibility comes in your ability to choose between fixed and variable APR, and to also choose your loan term. A longer term and lower APR will result in a lower monthly payment, or vice versa.
But once you lock in an interest rate and payment plan for a private student loan, you’ll need to stick to it unless certain circumstances arise. With some lenders, you can put your payments on hold if you’re in a time of financial stress. But you may have to go through a refinancing process to actually change your interest rate or repayment terms.
With that said, these benefits vary from one lender to the next. It’s always worth asking whether you can change your repayment terms down the road when you’re applying for a private student loan.
Currently, the market for private student loans is fairly small. This is partially because so many students get their funding needs met with federal student loans. In general, it’s best to start with the government-backed loans, which come with a variety of benefits, and then consider refinancing with a private lender after graduation.
This isn’t always the best scenario, though, especially if you have a good credit score and a solid income. In this case, you may be able to avail yourself of a lower interest rate on a private student loan. This is why it’s important to shop around and understand your options before taking on any student loan debt.
This company started out specifically focused on student loan refinancing, but has expanded to offer other types of financing. It doesn’t offer traditional student loans off the bat, but it does offer student loans for parents. SoFi is also a great option for refinancing your student loans.
Right now, on its student loan refinancing option, SoFi offers variable rates from 2.54% and fixed rates from 3.899%. As with many other companies, SoFi offers an interest rate discount when you sign up for automatic debit payments. The lower-end rates advertised are available to those who sign up for AutoPay. This lender also has several repayment term options for student loan refinancing.
If you’re a parent looking for additional funding for your child’s education, SoFi does make student loans available for parents. These have variable rates from 5.74% to 14.60% and fixed rates from 5.99% to 16.49%. These loans are available for up to the total cost of attendance, have no origination fees, and have two term options: five years and ten years.
This longstanding bank offers student loans that are available directly to students. It allows students to choose their repayment term at the beginning of the loan, and offers some benefits similar to federal student loans. Benefits include forbearance on payments when you’re in school, on active-duty military service, or volunteering for a qualifying public service organization. Forbearance is also available in times of financial hardship.
Wells Fargo’s student loans offer variable and fixed rates, and give borrowers a .25% interest rate reduction when they sign up for automatic payments.
Reader Question: Should You Invest or Pay Off Student Loans?
Traditionally known for its credit cards, Discover has launched into the realm of student lending. It actually offers a variety of student loans tailored for different purposes, from undergraduate studies to MBA degrees, and law school and medical residency. These no-fee loans offer deferred repayment options similar to federal loans, so that you can put off making payments while you’re still in school.
As with the other companies listed here, Discover student loans offer both variable and fixed APR options. Right now, variable rates are 3.62% to 10.62%, and fixed rates are 6.24% to 11.99%. You can also choose your repayment term when you sign up for the loan.
Discover loans have some interesting additional benefits, too. They offer borrowers the standard .25% interest rate reduction for automatic debit withdrawals. But they also allow for a 1% cash reward on each new student loan that you take out if you have maintained a 3.0 GPA. So if you’ll need private student loans for multiple school years in a row, this could turn into a valuable benefit.
This bank offers student loans through SunTrust, which also services federal student loans. Its private student loans come with repayment terms of 7, 10, or 15 years, and you can choose your repayment term when you sign up for the loan.
Union Federal offers variable interest rates of 3.863% to 8.692% and fixed rates of 4.597% to 9.769%. Borrowers can get up to a .75% interest rate reduction by making on-time payments consistently (.25% reduction), signing up for automatic payments (.25% reduction), and making automatic payments from a SunTrust bank account (.25% reduction).
Citizens Bank offers both private student loans and student loan refinancing. These no-fee loans let you choose your repayment term, either 5, 10, or 15 years. You can also choose your repayment plan while you’re in school. The options include making full payments immediately, paying interest only, or deferring payments altogether until after you drop below half-time enrollment.
As with the other four options listed here, Citizens Bank offers interest rate reduction rewards, including a .25% rate reduction when you have a Citizens Bank account before you apply for your loan and a .25% interest rate reduction for signing up for automatic payments.
Whether a federal student loan or a private loan is your best option depends on your educational needs, income, and even your credit. If you don’t have a solid income source or your credit is less-than-ideal, a government loan is probably a better place to start. If you (or your parents, if they’ll be taking out your educational loans instead) have great income or credit, you may be able to better find what you need through a private lender.
The five banks shown above each offer a number of repayment option, making your educational debts easier and more flexible to pay back. No matter which route you choose, though, be sure to fully explore all of your options before signing on any dotted lines.

The recovery from the Great Recession has been distinguished by record high long term unemployment. Data shows that a significant number of job cuts are impacting employment on a permanent basis and are particularly hard hitting in lower-income communities, revealing a need to redesign workforce development programs for this challenging environment. What new skills are needed? What resources are available? What organizations are providing assistance to individuals who are looking to get back into the job market?
This interagency-sponsored workshop will begin with an FDIC economist providing an economic overview with an emphasis on labor market and unemployment data. Participants will then hear an overview of local government programs before learning in greater detail about nonprofit agency programs that are designed to address these needs for targeted populations. The workshop will conclude with a discussion on what more might be done to expand workforce development programs in our communities and the role financial institutions might play in this effort.

« One of the Best Ever.
I didn’t really mean to write about all of this. Traveling over the Santiam Pass on New Year’s Eve, I wrote notes for something vastly different. But that will have to wait.
December needs to be revisited first.
I have been so afraid and so deeply sad. I lost my eye. I almost died. My face is still a mass of bruises, swelling, and pain. I will heal, I know, but there will be scars inside and out.
This past month keeps replaying itself in my memory. My world exploded on December 1 – a catastrophic fall on our sailboat. Four days later, Erik and I traveled painfully back to the States with the help of porters at every airport. Over the next two days, I saw my first eye doctor at the Casey Eye Institute and then a facial reconstruction ENT surgeon. It was decided to do a new ultrasound on my eye and operate on my face toward the end of December. The news that I could be looking at multiple surgeries was more than disheartening.
But Erik, being who he is, pushed to move the ultrasound up to December 15 to give us time to reevaluate should any new information come to light. We drove back over the pass to OHSU in a blizzard, avoiding an avalanche, to have the ultrasound. The technician, a brilliant and perceptive angel, noticed some issues with my eye.
We were ushered in to a meeting with the retinal surgeon who told us my eye was too damaged to save, that to leave it in could damage the other eye. We took time to breathe, think, and decide.
We put out an all-call on Facebook, and with a speed and love I never could have imagined, we began receiving support and help from all over the world.
A friend of Erik’s – a lovely woman he introduced me to in the line at the post office, and to whom I spoke for maybe 10 minutes – offered to put us in touch with a world-renowned retinologist. A member of our “racing family” introduced us to a professional who studied with my retinologist in England. My niece introduced me to a “friend of a friend” who had faced the traumatic loss of an eye. Just messaging her helped.
And the love and prayers that cascaded over us … from “wraparound hugs” to entreaties to call should I need anything … from friends I’d had since high school to my sorority sisters, from my family to my person to my brand new racing family … tears fall as I type this knowing I would not be here without you all.
I had my surgery on December 20, and after four days in the “ambulatory” surgical unit, Erik drove me back home. Getting over the pass was intensely painful, despite his best efforts. Christmas was saved by the presence and hugs of our children.
We went back over the pass to see my doctors on December 30, just a week and a half after they put my face back together. Details were revealed that the doctors had told me, I was just not coherent enough to fully realize.
The orbit of my right eye was broken in so many places, the facial reconstruction surgeon had to find a piece that was still attached to my skull and tie that one to the next and the next one to the next. The only comparison she can make is to a patient she had who fell five stories and landed on his face.
My right cheek was disintegrated to the extent they had to use a thicker titanium plate to rebuild it so it would hold shape. My right eye had literally exploded. My septum was deviated and the right side of my nose broken in pieces too many to count.
The injuries to my face were the kind associated with the head-on collisions of drunk drivers. Minor in comparison, I tend to forget the depressed skull fracture on my right temporal lobe.
I was stunned. “Jesus,” I thought, “how can this be so bad?” I lost an eye, but it’s more than that. The pain, the loss, the fear. I can’t write these words without tears. I don’t know why it wasn’t just enough to give me Parkinson’s.
I hadn’t believed them when they said the pain and bruising from this operation would be greater than the original accident. After they rebuilt my face from one incision in my mouth at the gum line and other incisions behind my eyelids, I learned they were right. My allergy to opioids caused wracking nausea and vomiting, making narcotics as brutal as suffering through the pain. After two days I retreated to Tylenol, Advil, and Excedrin.
I cried in his office as the finality washed over me again. Erik held my knee and told me it was ok to cry, that I had to grieve.
But here I am now, December 31, New Year’s Eve, sitting on the couch in the Tree House in Sisters. There’s no dancing, but there is a love that will sustain us through bone-deep fatigue, pain and sorrow, and enable us to find joy in all things.
We are making plans to go back up to the boat soon, and still plan to sail to Alaska this summer.
So while I have many more rows to hoe, bones to mend, bruises to heal, and lessons to learn, I can begin my new year with tears for the trials of 2016, a sense of dread about the pain I still have to endure, but also gratitude for the love of family and friends, and the man who brought me home.
Second star to the right and straight on ‘till morning.

Travels and Trdelnik: All-Star Lineup. The Very Favorites.
My most treasured reads. The books that took my breath away. The ones that stayed with me long after I finished them. The ones I bought straight away because I knew I would read them again and again. The stories I find myself recommending to others, often, over and over. The ones I love to re-read, even as I go forward and read various new books in between, these are the ones I continue to come back to.
An inspiring, thought-provoking, deeply emotionally moving story about the idea that upon death, we each meet 5 people upon entering heaven. These five people may have been people we have met before while we were living, they might have been someone to whom we were quite close, this person may even have been a stranger. But upon death, these five people explain the significance of the meaning of the life we just lived. A poetic and beautiful read.
An awesome, page-turning, visually glittering, historical fiction book. The story begins at an all boys school where a murder takes place, and the lengths to which the young boy who committed the murder will go to cover this up. The story spans over decades. Its scandalous, romantic, dark, exciting and suspenseful. The characters in this book are great fun. It takes you from glittering ballrooms to seedy brothels. I LOVE this story.
"When It Happens to You" opens as a tale of a marriage that may be falling apart but doesn't know it yet, told in the form of eight short stories.
"When it happens to you, you will be surprised. That thing they say about how you knew all the time but just weren't facing it? That might be the case, but nevertheless, there you will be. You will feel like you have been kicked in the stomach, that your insides have just separated to make room for something big.
This chapter refers to Greta's inner experience and emotions upon finding out about her husbands affair. This chapter is emotionally affecting and powerfully written.
Next we explore the new friendship between Betty, the lonely widow next door, and young Charlotte. After that, we spend a good bit of time delving into the inner Phillip with his shrink and, then later, with his brother. By the time we arrive at the last story--the "Can this marriage be saved?" story--we will have gotten to know this cast of characters very well indeed and have our own opinions on that subject.
A believable novel brilliantly conceived in short story form that worked wonderfully well....and which I highly recommend!
I personally loved this book because again, like others that I love, its about relationships and the complexity of navigating these. I found this a gripping and wonderful read.
The is one of the best books I have read, related to both romantic and non-romantic relationships. Its just an excellent and insightful read about how to be a more mature, loving and open-minded person in relationships, in general. Very worthwhile to check out. It offers insights one likely never considered but that are surprisingly sound and wonderful advice.
This is a really fun read about the complications of various romantic relationships, and its wonderfully written.. The story follows 4 specific relationships, the turns they take over the span of a few years. The book is a sweet, surprisingly gripping and engaging read. An especially good summer read.
I love this book. Its readable and interesting. About how one can be both a better friend and love to others, providing personal examples one can easily relate to and stories about others. I find it especially inspiring and thought-provoking. I find myself coming back to this once or twice a year and paging through it.
A breathtaking and heartbreaking true story/memoir about a young girls impoverished childhood. Her father is an alcoholic, yet incredibly intelligent, romantic and creative. He creates fun and adventure in the hearts of his children. Her mother is imaginative, emotionally absent and a hopeful romantic (even sometimes a delusional one). This story is about the sadness, heartbreak and hardships she and her siblings endure, but also about the magic and wonder they experience growing up as well, with these two people as their parents.
Hands down, the very best book series ever written. For those of you who are still holding out on reading these, for those of you who dismiss it as "children books" or by saying "eh, I am not into magic stuff." BIG mistake. These books are neither of those things. Yes, magic is sprinkled throughout the stories often. But these books are sweeping, epic, towering novels. They are filled with themes that are incredibly adult. They are dark, suspenseful, magical, romantic, scary, heartbreaking, exciting and sad. These stories contain themes of: enduring lifelong love, loyalty, confronting ones greatest fears, giving up what one loves the most for the greater good, etc. Showstopping reads.
Lily Dane has returned to Seaview, Rhode Island, where her family has summered for generations. It’s an escape not only from New York’s social scene but from a heartbreak that still haunts her. Here, among the seaside community that has embraced her since childhood, she finds comfort in the familiar rituals of summer.
But this summer is different. Budgie and Nick Greenwald—Lily’s former best friend and her former fiancé, now married to each other—have arrived, too, and Seaview’s elite are abuzz. Under Budgie’s glamorous influence, Lily is seduced into a complicated web of renewed friendship and dangerous longing.
I love this book, Just Kids. These two are the definition of soul mates. Not only is the portrait she paints of NYC in the 60s visually stunning, poetic and outstandingly written, but the story of Patti and Roberts friendship is deeply romantic and gripping. These two met as destitute, starving teenagers, both alone in NYC, budding artists-to-be. They became fast friends. They fell in love and became a couple. However Robert later out came out as being homosexual, breaking Pattis heart in the process. However instead of turning away and terminating their relationship like most people would likely do in response, or letting this revelation diminish their friendship, Patti works through her pain and they reunite, closer then ever. They remain soul mate-like friends for the rest of his life, maintaining the closest of connections, until he dies of aids in his 40s. This is a page-turning, outstanding read, as well as an inspiring one.
An absolutely stunning read. This one will knock the breath out of you. Initially the story is about a young recluse female baker who strikes up an unlikely friendship with one of her male elderly patrons. Yet later on down the road in their friendship, he asks a monstrous favor of her.
This ends up connecting to his past, as a former SS officer during WW2, as well as to her grandmother who was a prisoner in a concentration camp during that time. Two very opposite yet equally horrific experiences.
As the reader, we receive first-hand accounts narrated by each of these two people. One about the SS officers experience during the war, while in this position. And the other about the young woman and her experience in a concentration camp.
This is a visually stunning and emotionally breathtaking book. Hands down, my very favorite on this topic and time period. Incredible.
Historical fiction, Witty, Smart. Relevant. This book really packs a punch. A read that is great fun.
A wonderful, nostalgic-inducing read. This book will stir you with feelings of anticipation, autumn, leaf-swirling, cool-aired, back-to-school days. The story focuses on 5 people specifically. Henry, the showstopping ball player who runs into a mental block that we are unsure he will be able to surmount. The college president, gentle, intelligent Affenlight, who falls dangerously in love with a student leaving us with a surprisingly relatable and touching, yet obviously ill-fated love story. Mike, the baseball team Captain who has put his entire career and academic life on hold to help mold Henry into the showstopping player he is (yet, resentment is beginning to brew). Pella, the presidents daughter who flees her hometown and comes to the college after her marriage collapses. And finally, Owen, the quiet, intelligent, thoughtful roommate of Henry who suffers a disastrous injury during one ball game, which changes the fate of these five people forever. LOVE this story.
Most of you have likely read my review on this book already, which I posted a few weeks ago. If not, definitely take a moment to read it here. This is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. Here is a link to my previous, short and sweet review on this book.
Outstanding book. Loved this. So many beautiful life lessons in here.
Francie Nolan, avid reader, penny-candy connoisseur, and adroit observer of human nature, has much to ponder in colorful, turn-of-the-century Brooklyn. She grows up with a sweet, tragic father, a severely realistic mother, and an aunt who gives her love too freely--to men, and to a brother who will always be the favored child. Francie learns early the meaning of hunger and the value of a penny. She is her father's child--romantic and hungry for beauty. But she is her mother's child, too--deeply practical and in constant need of truth. Like the Tree of Heaven that grows out of cement or through cellar gratings, resourceful Francie struggles against all odds to survive and thrive. Betty Smith's poignant, honest novel created a big stir when it was first published over 50 years ago. Her frank writing about life's squalor was alarming to some of the more genteel society, but the book's humor and pathos ensured its place in the realm of classics--and in the hearts of readers, young and old.
This is an incredibly emotional and thought-provoking book. Its about an old man who finds himself dying, and a young man (his prior student) who comes and meets with him weekly during the time he is slowly passing. Morrie (the elderly man) gives Mitch lessons each week that he himself has learned about life, both along the way, and now that he is dying.
The result is an insightful, powerful and incredibly motivating read.
I hope my list provided you with some reading inspiration and recommendations. Especially since summer is the PERFECT time to pick up a great book!!
What are some of your favorite books??

A biography of legendary sociologist C. Wright Mills, author of The Power Elite and White Collar, among other works, by eminent sociologist Irving L. Horowitz. Charles Wright Mills (1916-1962) was a famed sociologist, social commentator and critic. Noted for his anti-authoritarian, flamboyant character and radical ideas, he has been described as an ‘American Utopian’ – committed to social change, angered by the oppression he saw around him, and critical of what he saw as evidence of U.S. imperialism. His legacy includes a series of classic books – including The Power Elite, White Collar, and The Sociological Imagination -- and he has made a distinctive contribution to American sociological theory, especially in the area of class, power and social structure.

LUCKNOW: While pesticide and insecticide toxicity and environmental degradation are causes for growing concern, several alternative cropping practices are being increasingly explored as ‘healthy’ agricultural practices.
LUCKNOW: While pesticide and insecticide toxicity and environmental degradation are causes for growing concern, several alternative cropping practices are being increasingly explored as â€˜healthyâ€™ agricultural practices. Prominent among these, are organic farming, nature farming, angara, rishi krishi, panch kavya, biodynamic farming, etc.
The most outstanding aspect of biodynamic farming is that none of the inputs are purchased from outside. According to senior scientist, Dr RA Ram, Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture (CISH), 500 g of compost developed through a â€˜cow pat pitâ€™ obtained at a marginal cost, is sufficient for an acre of farm land.
For a similar sized field, comparatively, 4-5 bags of relatively expensive urea will be required. In addition to this, the soil usually absorbs only 46 per cent of the nitrogen released, and the rest is wasted. Leeching causes the formation of nitrous oxide that has been linked with the destruction of the ozone layer, and nitrates are responsible for the pollution of groundwater.
A national level symposium on â€˜Organic farming in horticulture for sustainable productionâ€™ was organised by CISH on Friday, and was inaugurated by member agriculture, planning commission, Dr Sompal Shastri. In his inaugural address, Dr Shastri said organic farming is not new to India, as it has been practised by farmers in India for over 10,000 years now.
â€œSome believe that organic farming causes a reduction in crop yield, but with modern varieties, mechanisation and better irrigation facilities, this factor too has been negated,â€� he explained.
Dr RK Pathak, director, CISH, said that chemical-based plant protection practices have led to the compaction of soil, low organic matter content in the soil, increase in salinity, sodicity and land submergence, adverse effect on flora and fauna and also a deterioration in the quality of the farm produce.
In sharp contrast, â€˜Biodynamic agricultureâ€™ means â€˜working with the energies that create and maintain lifeâ€™. Under this system, the energies from the cosmos, earth, the cow and plants, are systematically and synergistically harnessed for enhancing crop production and to establish, maintain and increase the soilâ€™s ecosystem.
Examples of successful farming practices can be seen in mango orchards for the rejuvenation of the trees. A biodynamic tree paste made from mixing cow dung, clay and sand, was used to seal and heal the wounds and for the protection from and control of diseases that are like a plague, wreaking havoc in mango orchards.
G Kalloo, DDG, ICAR, Delhi, said that there are a number of organic compounds that may be used as parasite predators and used to replace chemical fertilisers. â€œThere is a need to develop technology for the identification and development of bio-agents and also a system for certification, inspection and accreditation of organic crops,â€� he stressed.

Do the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes?
Before we can determine whether the rich pay enough we have to first ask what would be “fair.” How much of total tax revenues should, say, the top one percent of households pay? Five percent? 10 percent? 20 percent?
According to new IRS statistics from 2014 tax returns, the top one percent of households paid almost 40 percent of all income taxes collected by the federal government.
In 2014, 139,562,034 filed an income tax return, putting just under 1.4 million people into the category of “one percenters.” They earned 20.58 percent of all income and paid 39.48 percent of the taxes. The average adjusted gross income (AGI) for the group was $465,626 (the “poorest” people in the group had an AGI of $257,110).
This chart by the Wall Street Journal’s Richard Rubin highlights that the top 25 percent (avg. AGI: $77, 714) paid nearly 86.78 percent of all income taxes.
It makes sense that high-income households would pay more in income taxes since, to paraphrase the bank robber Willie Sutton, “that’s where the money is.” Yet there is more to consider in assessing tax fairness than merely whether high-income earners are paying enough.
As Abraham Kuyper famously said, “there is not a square inch in the whole domain of human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!’” This is important consideration for Christians to keep in mind when we think about money, especially when we think about how to “redistribute” the income of our neighbor. Their income—like our own—both comes from and is owned by God. How it should be spent is ultimately the Lord’s prerogative. We don’t have free reign to write a check to the IRS from our neighbor’s bank account.
This does not mean, of course, that we shouldn’t expect those who have been blessed financially to help share the burden of funding our government. What it does mean, though, is that when we think about at what level of funding we need to perform proper government functions we must not assume that merely because our neighbors have high earnings we are justified in taking from them whatever we want.
When we think about what constitutes a fair system of taxation we must not only ask whether the wealthy are paying their “fair share” but also whether our system is fair to those to whom God has given much.

The marine mammal died before the recuse team could get to the scene.
ORLEANS, Mass. (AP) — A dolphin that stranded on a Cape Cod beach died even as a rescue team was on the way to help.
Orleans police reported the dolphin on Nauset Beach to the Yarmouth-based International Fund for Animal Welfare late Sunday morning.
Melanie Mahoney, IFAW’s wildlife rescue communications officer, said the marine mammal died before the recuse team could get to the scene.
A necropsy is planned to determine the cause of death.
Mahoney says it’s not unusual for a stranded marine animal to die quickly, especially if its health is compromised.

Sarah Hughes made the world a better place; the Sarah M. Hughes Foundation is dedicated to following her lead. We seek to share the joy she brought us through targeted giving to cancer research, medical and educational scholarships, and financial aid to children in need. It is our goal to keep Sarah’s fire aglow and spread her light throughout our community.
Sarah Hughes was 7 years old and just completing first grade when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her young world was turned upside down as she immediately went in for surgery, then to Houston, Texas, to receive proton radiation, followed by six months of intense chemotherapy at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Through it all she maintained her silly, sparkly personality. She attended school, played soccer with the Dragonflies, skied with abandon, and was dedicated to her family and friends.
Sarah handled her treatment well and never complained about her countless hours spent at the hospital. The entire staff at Seattle Children’s Hospital was incredible and Sarah received the best care available. After several months of “remission” Sarah’s tumor returned in August 2009. Sarah faced the terrible news with an incredible amount of strength and courage, ready to fight and continue to live her life.
After months of new and different chemotherapies, gamma knife radiation, and an enormous amount of hope and prayers, Sarah lost her battle against cancer and passed away in May of 2010.
Sarah’s sparkle continues to shine, and we are lucky to linger in her light.

We recently demonstrated that marrow stromal cells (MSCs) augment collateral remodeling through release of several cytokines such as VEGF and bFGF rather than via cell incorporation into new or remodeling vessels. The present study was designed to characterize the full spectrum of cytokine genes expressed by MSCs and to further examine the role of paracrine mechanisms that underpin their therapeutic potential. Normal human MSCs were cultured under normoxic or hypoxic conditions for 72 hours. The gene expression profile of the cells was determined using Affymetrix GeneChips representing 12 000 genes. A wide array of arteriogenic cytokine genes were expressed at baseline, and several were induced >1.5-fold by hypoxic stress. The gene array data were confirmed using ELISA assays and immunoblotting of the MSC conditioned media (MSC(CM)). MSC(CM) promoted in vitro proliferation and migration of endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner; anti-VEGF and anti-FGF antibodies only partially attenuated these effects. Similarly, MSC(CM) promoted smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration in a dose-dependent manner. Using a murine hindlimb ischemia model, murine MSC(CM) enhanced collateral flow recovery and remodeling, improved limb function, reduced the incidence of autoamputation, and attenuated muscle atrophy compared with control media. These data indicate that paracrine signaling is an important mediator of bone marrow cell therapy in tissue ischemia, and that cell incorporation into vessels is not a prerequisite for their effects.

Concrete grinding is starting to become a popular concrete-related service across the residential, commercial, and industrial market segment. It's a concrete service where the surface is finely scrubbed and ground using diamond-embedded rotary discs. This process, which is not the same as concrete polishing, can be sought for a number of reasons and applications. Check them out below.
If your concrete floor is damaged due to wear or rough use, you can repair it via a concrete grinding service. The concrete grinder can get rid of tiny pits or rough patches, allowing your builder to plaster or re-render the affected areas afresh. This application can be used for light cosmetic damage or medium wear.
If your concrete surface has severely deteriorated, you can opt for concrete grinding as a faster and cheaper way to restore it instead of doing a complete resurfacing. That is, instead of having the concrete surface cut and a new layer installed, you could just have the area ground smooth and a fresh coat of rendering applied to create a new finish.
Concrete grinding is also largely used when there is need to remove top coatings on the concrete floor. For example, the process can be used to grind away coatings such as rendering, exposed aggregate, glue, grout or cork. Concrete grinding makes it possible to do so without damaging the concrete in any way. Plus, it's fast. Once done, the concrete surface can remain in its natural state or it can be coated afresh.
Concrete grinding is also commonly used to level uneven concrete surfaces such as driveways and outdoor concrete pavers. Not only does doing this create a more visually pleasing look, levelling uneven concrete surfaces also helps to prevent tripping. And in cases where vehicles or heavy machinery is being used, a level surface makes navigation easier while preventing wheel damage.
Concrete grinding is also a good way to prepare your surfaces for overlay installations such as tiles, laminate flooring, vinyl, timber etc. Through the grinding process, the floor is levelled and tiny imperfections eliminated. The floor is left smooth and bare, ready for application of adhesive and installation. The result is a better attachment of the overlays to the concrete and a more even and professional finish.
The cost of your concrete grinding surface will depend on the span of the area to be worked on, the nature of the concrete floor (how hard it is), and how deep you want the surface ground. Talk to a concrete contractor for an estimate if your need meets any of the applications detailed above.

As the name suggests, the idea is to go vegan in January, the best time of year for making changes. The whole Veganuary campaign is hugely popular and successful and there are plenty of resources on the website to guide and encourage new vegans. They also have a very helpful myths section to debunk some of the strange ideas surrounding veganism and to explain in more detail why it’s a necessary change for the environment, for health, and for animals.
One of my main worries is eating out – will I be able to find a place that offers something for me? I’ve been a vegetarian for years and it has always been simple eating out as there are always some veggie options. In fact, it has been easier – while my friends spend ages trying to decide between the lamb and the salmon, I scan the menu and select the only veggie option available. So I’m glad to find that there’s another really helpful section on the Veganuary website that lists high streets restaurant chains and coffee shops and lists the vegan options available.
I’ve read some of the books, have some comprehension of a vegan philosophy but do not wish to watch any of those films or documentaries like Earthlings or Cowspiracy that turn a lot of people vegan – I already know, or at least, can guess.
So what I’d really like from you, Dear Reader, is some recommendations and advice – where to shop, what to watch out for, how to stock up on the essentials? Are you trying Veganuary this year or did you do it last year?
My advice is that you shouldn’t feel intimidated to speak up and ask for advice at restaurants. Give the staff the opportunity to come up with a solution if they don’t have a vegan option on the menu. You may end up with pasta marinara or a salad or you may get something really great. Good luck!
Thank you, that’s good advice to bear in mind.
My partner and I did veganuary last year and we remained ‘imperfectly’ vegan all year. Good luck!
Good to hear you’ve come out the other side and stuck with it, even if it is imperfectly!
We feel better for it. The main issue has been things like quorn – my partner has a gluten allergy and many of the meat substitute s have either gluten or egg in as a binder – we have to go with the egg versions. Other than that I think it’s a really good time to try it – lots of restaurants (particularly some of the big chains) are coming up with vegan options now – the demand is there.
I love infographics, so I was excited :) I was just trying to remember some of these figures yesterday to pass on to someone. Welcome to the journey sugar pie.
Good work! You’ll do great if it is what you really want to do. I did the Vegan Easy challenge seven years ago and am still vegan. My suggestion is don’t be too strict on yourself. If you eat something that isn’t vegan, no big deal, it’s how we had been eating most of our lives anyway. Stay strong to what you think is right. You’ll get to know local places to eat and what foods from different cuisines are a go to. Happy Cow is a great app to find vegan food in your proximity.
Ah thank you, I will check out that app. I’m enjoying finding new foods at the moment and have learned so much already.
Hi. I hope you can keep it up, if that’s what you want to do. I know what you mean about finding places to eat where they have a vegan option. I don’t go out to eat alot, but Indian restaurants if you ask them can have quite a few vegan dishes to choose from.
Some of the supermarkets are introducing new vegan meals ranges to their shelves.
I find pub meals are still quite back in the dark ages, and only vegan option is salad and chips.
Like you i haven’t been able to watch any the latest movies highlighting suffering and cruelty in the meat industry around the world. Like you say, but i can imagine the horrors.
I’ve just noticed Lynda McCartney plain sausages now have palm oil in them. So i’ve stopped eating them. But her red onion range are palm oil free.
Palm oil is another thing i’m checking labels to see if it has it in it before i buy it. If it does, i don’t buy it. Or some now say, the palm oil used in their product is from a certified palm oil place.
Good for you, I was veggie for almost two years before going vegan. At first it was because I was uneducated on it. “But they’re not killing the animals, so it’s fine” And then like you, even when I went vegan, I had these worries. They caused me to “kind of” vegan for a few months before fully committing, That was over a year ago now, and honestly these worries don’t even cross my mind anymore. So the best advice I can give you, is don’t be too hard on yourself. I actually just made a post about veganuary, if you’d like to check it out. I wanted people like yourself to not worry, and help out in any little way i could. Honestly, once you get used to it, it’s the easiest thing in the world.
Best of luck, and keep us updated.
‘Kind of vegan’, that’s a great way to put it. Thanks for your comment and advice, I will take a look at your post.
Hi there! I’m a vegan – but it’s been an off again on again effort to get there. It’s really hard to weed out all the eggs and dairy in every little thing. The best advice I have for you is to try to make everything yourself from scratch – that way you know exactly what’s going into your food! Good luck! It’s a delicious journey! Great blog by the way. I’ve got a lot to learn from folks like you about blogging!
My family and I are trying to go vegan in 2018, and helping to educate our daughter is a big part of it. I am “imperfectly” vegan, and it’s nice to know there are others out there. Thanks for the infographic! I love your blog, and will be following!
Well done. I have been vegan for just over two years and found there are so many vegan alternatives out there, it’s a great time to try it out.
Yes, bean dishes! They are a godsend. And anything involving quinoa.
Ah, thanks, yes it’s only been going for a few years.

You’ve probable heard about Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons being used to help the visually impared navigate on their own around public transport systems. This has been trialled in Bucharest on buses and in London Underground. These are examples of relevant information being pushed to users’ smart phones based upon their location. Other similar use cases might include telling passengers when they are approaching the stop at which they plan to get off, or telling them that their selected vehicle is about to arrive.
The use case I am more interested in is the one that allows passengers to travel without paying upfront and be charged afterward based on the journey that they took. We implemented this with TfL in London using contactless bank cards and it has become known as ‘Aggregated Pay As You Go’. This works well, but relies upon the passenger rembering to ‘tap in’ and ‘tap out’ to mark the end point of each leg of the journey in order that the back office can calculate the journey taken. Appropriate charges are made to the passenger’s bank card account at the end of the day.
Beacons could be used in implementations for this use case. Such a beacons trial is to be carried out in 2017 in West Yorkshire as part of the Transport for the North’s Integrated and Smart Travel (I&ST) programme.
The aim is to automatically determine the bus journey taken by the passenger and charge on a PAYG basis. Therefore, we need to know accurately where the passenger gets on and off the bus. This information will be determined by a smart phone app by interacting with beacons and sent to the back office where the charge is calculated and payment taken.
how the journey timestamp and location information sent to the back office in such a way that can be trusted and not open to fraud.

Many projects have been in place to increase the numbers of female workers in the IT industry. Through diversity reports we can see that the real cenario is not pretty, most IT companies have less than 20% of women technical jobs.
So, why it is important to increase these numbers? And why are they so low? In this talk I will show how teams with women gain with the diversity.
This talk is not about competition between genders, it is how combined efforts can improve a team. All data here come from scientific studies and companies diversity reports.

The distinction between plastics and resins is 'arbitrary' (Encyclopedia Britanica). They are polymers, which are very long-chain molecules. It is the great length of the chains which produces their characteristic flexibility and ability to soften when heated (hence the name 'thermoplastic'). Natural resins, containing cellulose, are exuded from coniferous trees and have a delightful aroma. Artificial resins use oil as a feedstock.An epoxy resin is is a polymer with oxygen and carbon atoms in the ratio 1:2 bonded into long chains. Epoxy derives from epi-, above and oxygen. Epoxy resins are used in paints, glues and bonding agents. Epoxy resins set hard when two components are mixed. They can be clear or have an amber or brown colour. Epoxy resins are highly durable and have great adhesive strength.Weeds do no grow through resin bound paving.
Given the above properties, resin is superior to bitumen as a binding agent for paving: you see the natural colour of the gravel aggregate instead of the sticky blackness of bitumen. The disadvantage is that resin is much more expensive than bitumen. It has therefore become common practice to lay a base of bitumen-bound paving and surface it with a thin layer (4-8mm) of resin-bound gravel. To produce a thin layer, and save money on the resin, small-size gravel aggregate is used. The resultant paving is much pleasanter than bitumen paving - but very much more expensive than unbound gravel paving.
If a layer of resin is applied to an impermeable base course, then the resin-bonded gravel will also be impermeable. to water.
If a pre-manfactured resin-gravel compound is used, the pavement can be permeable if laid on a permeable concrete or macadam base.

CRIME, GUNS, AND VIDEOTAPE: Few Additional Details Emerge From CHP Officer’s Deadly Marriage Encounter.
Few Additional Details Emerge From CHP Officer’s Deadly Marriage Encounter.
Compton, CA—After training and two years of police work under her belt it appears that CHP officer Tomieka Jones Lemons felt threatened enough by her husband to do the unthinkable. The off duty cop shot and killed her spouse, Marcus Lavar Lemons.
Through official Los Angeles Sheriff’s channels I’ve requested the 911 recording involved in the event along with descriptions of any injuries found on Officer Lemons. I also ask for additional information about the actual location of the shooting since the Sheriff’s press release is in conflict with some people who have contacted me claiming to be witnesses. I will post any information as I get it, right here.
We will have to wait for reports of the examination of blood and urine of both parties to surface. The obvious question was alcohol or drugs involved that caused violent behavior?
This whole mess will get the review of Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley who has a poor record of supporting self-defense rights of any armed survivors of violent attacks. Cooley may bankrupt this officer and her family just to let a jury decide whether this was a justified killing.
Even if the dead suspect was unarmed the issue of disparity of force would allow this young woman to use a firearm to ward off an attack.
I hope that the officer was smart enough to make no statements outside the presence of a lawyer. I see the need for an independent defense investigation to aid any defense lawyer instead of waiting for police reports to slowly filter through the discovery process.
Here is the very latest that ABC7 has to offer.
mediocre. I can see where that could be a source of stress in that union.
I will never understand why SO much emphasis is placed on "looks"!! That has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything! I have know people whom society might label as "homely" or "unattractive" but were beautiful because of the goodness of their hearts. On the flip side, I have also known some that were aesthetically "beautiful" but had no conscience or soul! Your perception of "what one looks like" should NEVER cloud your judgement of one's guilt or innocence!!! SHAME ON YOU!

Part of performing a garden soil type test is to classify your garden soil as sandy, loamy, or clay. You have already calculated the percentages of each layer of sediment of your garden soil as describe in our page on garden soil testing. Now you can easily determine what type of garden soil you have by transferring the results onto the soil triangle.
This is quite easy to do. Say you have 12cm of soil in your jar or bottle, with the bottom layer of sediment being 6,8cm, the middle layer of sediment being 3,5cm and the top layer of sediment being 1,7cm.
The bottom layer of sediment is sand, which is 6,8cm high. We take 6,8 and divided by the height of the soil sample, which in this example is 12cm, and then multiply it by 100 to convert it to a percentage. This works out to approximately 57% (6.8 ÷ 12 × 100 = 56.667). Plot 57 on the bottom axis of the soil triangle (A) and draw a line parallel to the axis that plots the percentage of silt.
The middle layer of sediment is silt and is 3,5cm high in this example. We take 3,5 and divided by the height of the soil sample, and then multiply it by 100. This works out to approximately 29% (3.5 ÷ 12 × 100 = 29.167). Now we plot 29 on the left axis of the soil triangle (B) and draw a line parallel to the axis that plots the percentage of clay.
The top layer of sediment is clay and is 1,7cm high in this example. So we take 1,7 and divided by the height of the soil sample, and then multiply it by 100. This works out to approximately 14% (1.7 ÷ 12 × 100 = 14.167). Now we plot 14 on the right axis of the soil triangle (C) and draw a horizontal line across to the axis that plots the percentage of silt.
Now determining what type of garden soil we have is simply a matter of checking where the three lines intersect on the soil triangle.
In this particular example the three lines intersect in the sandy loam area of the soil triangle. We can now proceed to make the appropriate soil amendments to make our garden soil more loamy. In this particular example this can be achieved by adding some organic matter such as compost.
