Rain this morning…but going up near 60 later today as we start the first weekend of the New Year.
Thursday morning…it's only the third day of the New Year and already there are articles reminding us that Valentine Day is coming up. Seriously?
Back to work in 2019 we go.
Happy New Years! Hello 2019. Although some folks are still holding onto Christmas. At the McDonald's I was in this morning early…Christmas music is still being played. How many shopping days left?
A little rain with the threat of a thunderstorm starting the day here in Nashville.
Well I surely hope you and yours had a very Merry Christmas!
Do You Hear The Bell?
Christmas Eve! And it's foggy here in Nashville this morning. A projected high of 44 today with zero chance of snow on Christmas. And by next Friday we'll be at 66 degrees for a high!

Who Is at the Helm of Our City?
When a city employee retires from the City of Ashland, PERS (Public Employees Retirement System) rules state that they may be hired back by the city for no more than 1,039 hours in a calendar year.
Mike Faught, Director of Public Works, retired on March 31, 2017 and was rehired on April 1, 2017. He is considered a "new hire" according to his 1,039-cap contract, a copy of which is available to the public upon request from the City Recorder's office. In this contract, Mr. Faught will receive his same departmental salary plus $350/month for use of his own car for public business, plus healthcare insurance benefits of $10,000+, for a contract period of six months.
According to Administrative policy (refer to Policy No. 2004.01.20), the subject of which is "Treatment of city of Ashland retirees continuing work with the City temporarily with no break in service," the policy clearly states that "Premiums for health insurance will be the employee's responsibility…." Temporary post-retirement employees will receive no other (COBRA) City benefits."
Why is Mr. Faught receiving these benefits when no other City employees hired under a 1039-cap contract is entitled to receive such benefits?
City Attorney Lohman, and former City Administrator Kanner both signed Administrative Policy No. 2004.01.20 on October 17, 2014. The contract between the City and Mike Faught was signed by John Karns, Interim City Administrator, and Mr. Faught on March 23, 2017.
Why are taxpayers being asked to pay $10,000 in unauthorized retiree benefits for Mike Faught, benefits clearly disallowed under Administrative Policy? Why have the City Council and Mayor failed to notice or completely overlooked this contractual error? Has the Council been asked to approve the new contract that specifically includes payment for illegal, expensive, and unfair benefits?

I agree with much of what you say here Andy. The experience the community member receives can have more to do with the relationship building (or lack thereof) that happens during the transaction. So even if you don't get the exact right response (and sometimes there isn't one or your goal is to get the person moving in the right direction within 5 minutes of arrival – not provide an indepth research response), how you manage the experience is critical.
In my mind, good or bad reference experiences do not hinge on the resolution of the inquiry, but on the type of customer service a patron receives. How much does the result matter when the experience was unsavory or unpleasant versus engaging or personable?
Again, agreed, but I'd add to it that the reference experience is often more than just what happens at the reference desk during the transaction. Over at Designing Better Libraries I've written about the importance of "totality" or "high fidelity" as being crucial to the library experience. That means that even if you provide amazing customer service at the desk – and then the member goes to the stacks and gets lost – or is frustrated because a needed book isn't there – or finds the book and then gets treated like crap at another desk or your bathroom is dirty – that is all going to detract from your great reference service. In fact – by the time that person walks out the door they might even have forgotten about you and your great service. So while you are right that it's important to give a great reference experience – it's even more crucial to offer a "total" library experience. Of course – that's much harder to do and requires a more concentrated effort from the staff.
What else do I think we could do to make it a great experience? Follow up calls. How many libraries are doing that?
You're right in that there are other aspects that can add/detract to the reference interaction. I had limited my post in scope to just that encounter without consideration to the other outside influences before the reference desk. But it is no less important.
Follow up calls are an interesting suggestion; my gut reaction is the staff time and logistics to make it work on a consistent basis. Coupled with gather people's phone numbers (I can imagine the myriad of reactions to collecting such data), I think it could work. But to work most effectively for both staff and patron, a call should be sent out only for certain types of inquiries (such as involved research questions). I think that would be time well spent, for those people interested. (I might have to start this as my own experiment.) Email might also suffice.
What about 'thank you' postcards for people who attend programs or use services at the library? While the card may be formulaic, a hand written name or short note would be the right touch.
In fact, what is needed, as you point out so well, is for librarians to recognize the value of the customer (patron) interaction in the reference experience, not simply the outcome – answer/no answer. The success of that interaction is measured by whether the customer comes back, or takes their business elsewhere.
Great post Andy, and Steven adds an interesting dimension by asking what happens *after* the initial encounter.
If you're not familiar with Dr. Marie Radford's research on the relationship aspects of reference, check it out. Marie's research reveals that there is a disconnect between how librarians judge the success of a reference interview, and how customers judge the success of a reference interaction. Librarians traditionally judge based on whether the question was "completely answered." Customers however are much more likely to judge the interaction successful if they had a positive interaction–regardless of whether their question was completely answered.
I wanted my library colleagues to know about your blog–especially this post–so I've mentioned in on The Surly Librarian.


Strength Training Strategies That Actually Work!
Over the years there has been a surge of different strength training techniques that have come onto the market and just faded away. This article lists some tried and true techniques for making real gains.
Planning Your Training Frequency: Timing Is Everything!
Whether you are sold on heavy weight and low reps, or less weight and more reps, if your training frequency is not planned with the same scrutiny as other aspects of your routine, you may be wasting time unnecessarily.
Remember it's not the training volume but the intensity and recuperation that are important when it comes to gains in strength and muscle.
Tests under strict gym conditions have revealed that you've only got a limited amount of (readily available) energy to use for a weight training session. Blood tests on individuals have also revealed that blood sugar levels (available energy) drop dramatically after 20 to 30 minutes of high intensity training.
Performing three to four exercises with high intensity during a session are what most people are capable of. All the main structures of the body are worked hard during this time.
If you're able to generate the same force and intensity for this second set then it'll be pretty obvious that not enough effort has been put into the first set. Thus you'll have to raise the intensity level you put out for the first set.
If you give the first set 100% effort and work the exercise hard to total failure (eg. you cannot move the bar after the last rep) then there will not be more requirement for further muscle stimulation on that specific exercise.
If you think that volume training (multiple sets) is more effective then you're wrong! The latest research shows that single set training is as beneficial as multiple set training. Training one set will decrease the chances of over-training. It will also allow you to save more energy for other exercises required during the workout.
The development of muscle and strength is interrelated, it always has been. Strength training Sessions produce increases in strength that is equal to increases in functional muscle. (You'll become stronger and grow muscle).
Repetitions can be cycled, the higher repetition range will stimulate the slow twitch muscle fibers and promote endurance. Moving further down the scale, the lower repetition range will activate the fast twitch muscle fibres and increase strength and muscle size.
As a professional trainer over the last 20 years I have had the opportunity to train many athletes and bodybuilders.


GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If you are looking for Chris Sale over the next few weeks of Spring Training, try the back fields at Camelback Ranch.
The White Sox ace will throw focused bullpen sessions, simulated games and even in a Minor League contest before he gets into Cactus League action around March 19, as mentioned by pitching coach Don Cooper on Friday. There's nothing physically wrong with Sale, a fact he celebrates daily after spending most of last Spring Training rehabbing an injured right foot.
But Sale was able to get through a full season in '15 without making a Cactus League appearance. So the White Sox have worked out a special schedule designed to keep him fresh for the entire '16 campaign.
"We're slowing him down a little bit, but also mixing in plenty of opportunities for hands-on, focused work," said Cooper. "Tomorrow is his second BP. The next time he does something will be behind-the-scenes stuff.
"We'll get the catcher, hitters and work on specific stuff. He's just got a little different schedule. We need to get his innings and pitches up, I can tell you that. We're going to do it in a lower leveraged, stressed kind of environment. Simulated games, stuff like that where we're working on stuff -- his arm side stuff, working on the opposite side, backdoor breaking ball and specific stuff on days as we go.
"He'll be ready for the start of the season, and he's going to be ready to go at least seven innings and probably 110 pitches," Cooper said. "That's for all our starters."
Cooper also plans to incorporate a plan of mixing up White Sox pitchers against Cactus League opponents such as Oakland and Cleveland, whom the White Sox will see over seven games during the regular season's first week. The team believes there's no reason to give these teams an extra look while in Arizona.
That thought process will allow starts for pitchers such as Erik Johnson and Jacob Turner, as well as prospects such as Carson Fulmer, Tyler Danish, Chris Beck and Jordan Guerrero.
"Even with Coop and his plan, it doesn't always look smooth the way he throws it out there at people," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "But it's a good plan."
Major League Baseball enforcing a 30-second time limit on mound visits doesn't worry Ventura.
"I'll be all right. I'll be fine," Ventura said. "I'll be able to get out there and back."
And as for Cooper hitting the time limit?
"That one we're going to work on," said Ventura, having a little fun with his pitching coach. "I know when he blew his hammy out, there was a question. There are times when he hasn't made it.
"They're just trying to clean up some time where they can. That's part of it, being able to identify the spots that are just wasted time. Some of it is needed.
"Some of it, you're protecting the guys out in the bullpen that they can get the proper amount of warmups," Ventura said. "You don't want them to warm up too much. There are times you can sit a guy down and take a little more time to be able to get him up, and it's not like you're getting him hot all the time."
The White Sox will play intrasquad games Monday and Tuesday. They have "B" games scheduled for March 5 and 6.
Carlos Rodon threw a career-high 149 1/3 innings last season, but Ventura admits jumping to that 200-inning plateau might be a little much for the southpaw in '16.
"That's a lot. He's a big strong kid, and he wanted more last year," Ventura said. "There wasn't any question he wanted more.
"If he can continue down that path with his health and strength and all that, it's a possibility, but I think that's a real high number for him, just where he's at in his career. That's a big jump, but we'll see when we get there."
Rodon, 23, could be skipped a start or two to give him extended rest as the club did last year and with Sale in the past.
"It just shows that if you play good baseball, you are going to win more games than not. That's what we are going to do this year." -- Jake Petricka, on mimicking the Royals' winning style of baseball.
"What we've always said is, 'If you are not trying to improve and get better, what are we doing?'" -- Cooper, on his pitchers.

Joseph William Arnison (27 June 1924 – 1996) was a South African professional footballer, best known as a player for Scottish club Rangers and English club Luton Town.

Playing career

Arnison was signed by Glasgow club Rangers for the first post-war season, 1946–47, initially playing in the wartime Victory Cup and Southern League Cup. He scored four goals in ten games for Rangers, an impressive return, but the next season saw him isolated at Ibrox. 1948 saw him move south, when English Second Division side Luton Town offered Rangers £8,000 for his services. Arnison soon became a crowd favourite at Kenilworth Road, scoring a hat-trick in his fourth game as Luton beat Cardiff City 3–0. He finished the season as top scorer, even though he missed a large part of the season with an injury to his right knee.

After three major operations, Arnison retired from the professional game at 27 and returned to South Africa, where he became a physiotherapist.

European Telecom Sector Welcomes Landmark Progress on Digital Service Regulation
Brussels, 25 November 2021 – The European telecommunications industry applauds EU legislators for making progress this week on two key regulatory initiatives that have the potential to reshape the socioeconomic dynamics of digital platform ecosystems.
The recent European Parliament's vote on the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and today, the Council's General Approach, pave the way for inter-institutional discussions and final approval of this major piece of legislation, throughout next year.
ETNO and GSMA welcome both positions of the co-legislators, which offer solid foundations towards a final regulation that will effectively tackle anti-competitive behaviours of large online gatekeepers, and remedy imbalances in the digital platform economy.
It is now crucial that the Parliament, Member States, and the European Commission seize the momentum to swiftly agree on a DMA regulation that couples robust obligations for digital gatekeepers, with a governance system that allows for effective implementation of the new rules.
In a time when essential digital ecosystems largely depend on a few global tech giants, the DMA must ensure that European users – citizens and enterprises alike – are treated fairly. Likewise, the DMA should boost the contestability of digital markets by creating new opportunities for market entrants to compete on an equal footing with benefits for innovation and consumer choice.
In addition, the new framework will support the EU's digital leadership ambitions in strategic areas like cloud computing in the years to come.
ETNO and GSMA praise Member States for achieving a General Approach on the Digital Services Act (DSA) in today's Competitiveness Council. Online platforms – including content sharing services and social media – have driven worldwide e-commerce, and powered the borderless exchange of content, communications, culture, and ideas. But at a cost: they have amplified and enabled the spread of illegal material, disinformation, and the erosion of trust in institutions.
That is why it is a priority to deliver a new regulatory framework that meets the challenges of today's digital services, with sensible checks and balances on the way products and content are traded online.
We welcome the approach taken by the Commission and endorsed by the Council, which recognises the major changes in the digital ecosystem since the eCommerce Directive was adopted in 2000; new business models and technology require an updated approach, based on the established principles.
At the same time, with Parliament's remaining discussions ahead of their vote in the coming weeks, we call for a higher degree of proportionality in the regulation of intermediaries lower in the internet stack, especially those service providers acting as mere conduits, e.g. Internet Access Providers. A fair allocation of responsibility to different intermediaries, according to their role along the digital value chain and their technical capabilities to act against illegal material in targeted manner, is critical to ensure that the fight to keep the internet safe does not impinge on fundamental rights.
ETNO and GSMA remain ready to support EU institutions as they step closer to adopting the DMA and DSA regulations. As with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the move will strengthen Europe's leadership as the global standard-setter of principles and values in the digital economy.

Happy Monday! School and work started back today and oh man, I'm really wishing I was back in Mexico right now haha. BUT only two months left of school so I'm ready to grind it out. Josh and I spent the majority of our Spring break on a 5 day cruise going to Mexico. It was both of our first cruises and boy was it quite the experience haha. I had SO much to say about our 5 day cruise that I decided to round it up into a post and share with you all in case you're thinking about booking your first cruise or want to know what we thought. I figured I would break it down by day and go from there.
Day 1- Galveston and board the ship.
We got on the boat around 2pm and we anchored away around 3:30pm. We of course went with a group of friends so we sat at a really nice bar on Deck 5 called the Alchemy bar. They had the best drinks, my favorite was the cucumber sunrise. As soon as I could feel that we were moving and looked out to the window, I got SO dizzy. I got even more dizzy when I started walking on the boat and looked out to see us moving. I felt really uncomfortable like I might would pass out so I immediately took a dramamine. THANK GOD we bought a tube of this before we got on the ship. I would 100% make sure you have this… our friends had these really awesome patches for motion sickness they put behind their ears the whole trip and I wish we would've grabbed those too. After about an hour though my head and body adjusted to the movement and I was completely fine.
Something we learned last minute about the first day is that if you buy the drinking package, it is NOT included in the first day. Beware, drinks are expensive (each of my cocktails are $10-$15 a piece). We spent a good $60 between Josh and I in just drinks the first few hours were on the boat. After touring and getting our bearings down for the boat and figuring out what was on each deck, it was time for dinner. I MOST DEFINITELY recommend the late dining. At first our friends were doing this and I wasn't too keen on it because I personally eat dinner around 5 or 6pm each night. But as I sat through our week, I felt SO thankful we had that later dining because between how busy each day is, docking at new places, and physically NEEDING an afternoon nap before dinner, there was no way we would've made it to the 6pm early dining. Around 4pm each day I typically headed to the dining hall area and grabbed a piece of pizza to hold me over.
This day was so much fun. We were in international waters and the temperature was perfect. We got up early to go lay out and our friends joined us later as we just drank, ate, and lounged our day away. We spent ALL of our time in the Serenity 21+ lounge. It had a whirlpool, awesome outdoor bar, and comfy pool chairs and couches we laid in while we sunbathed. I just have to mention that thank the lord these cruises have a dedicated adult area. There was also another adult only pool towards the back of the boat that we spent time in.
I absolutely adore kids. I babysat/nanny'ed all of high school, and worked at a daycare my second year of college for a year. I loved it all and the precious kids. I did not love the amount of kids on our boat. I completely understand now though why so many parents bring their children on these cruises haha. It's safe and they can lounge by the bar while the kids run around aimlessly. The main pool area blared Frozen and played PG movies all day while children ran back and forth from the ice cream self serve to their seats. It was A LOT BUT, I thought the 5 day cruise would be SO MUCH FUN for kids. I wish my parents would've taken us on one because there was way more to do for kids. They had their own sections, little "kid clubs", night time outdoor movies, like I was low key jealous they had all this fun stuff going on haha! If you have kids, this would be such a fun trip for you all!
Outside of laying around, we ate burgers from Guy Fieri's stand (so good!), checked out the spa, and went to dinner. Dinner is so much fun and the staff is incredibly friendly. I though it was extremely cool how every staff member is literally from all over the world. Our favorite bartender was from India, our waitress at dinner was from Croatia, our steward was from Indonesia and they just had incredible stories as to why they work on the boat and how they got there. I think that was one of my favorite parts. They are amazingly kind and really great at what they each do. That night, our friends were all about the casino (Josh and I aren't gamblers) but we had so much fun watching them!
This was definitely my favorite day. I loved getting off the boat and seeing Cozumel. Excursions are quite expensive and we were trying to keep this trip as cheap as possible so we booked a beach club with everyone. It was called Mr. Sancho's Beach Club and this place was amazing! They had a kids side with fun blow up slides and courses in the ocean and then a more adult side with a pool and bar. It was all inclusive food and drinks for just $50 all day. We sat at a table on the beach and ran back and forth from the pool to the ocean. Our waiter was AMAZING too and constantly made sure we were enjoying our time. They also offer other fun things to do on the beach like water ski jets, ATV's, etc.
On our way back to get back on the boat, we stopped by a really fun bar called Fat Tuesday that was right next to where our boat was docked. They blared some typical rap music and was jam packed with college students. We jammed out and enjoyed our last hour in Cozumel!
That night, we napped, ate dinner, and I was so exhausted that I went to bed. The ship that night was going through some really bad waves and I am not kidding when I would walk I would literally fall. You just swayed heavily back and forth and after an hour, I was incredibly sea sick. I couldn't sleep until 4am and it was my worst night. Josh couldn't sleep either but he didn't get sick. Most people on our ship had been on cruises before and every time I asked they said our ship was the most they've ever felt the ship move on a cruise so I'm wondering if it was just ours!
We didn't plan anything for Progreso as we were just going to explore the city and see where it takes us. We took a little bus to town and a tour guide came on and told us about this beach club about 45 mins away and it sounded just like what we did in Cozumel so we went for it! Our tour guide was so nice and we drove to this hotel and it was all inclusive drinks and food with two pools and the ocean. It was a blast and we really found that these beach clubs were the best option for our group. Everyone was so nice and this day was a blast. You have to be back on the boat around 5:30pm and we all napped and then went to dinner. Such a great day!
After the last two days, everyone slept in LATE this day. I think we made it out for breakfast at 12:45pm and then realized we had to get lunch haha. We lounged all day outside by the pool but it was super windy and chilly so I just read my book with pants and a pullover on top of my bathing suit haha.
The day after we docked in Galveston and we off the boat by 10am! This trip was a BLAST with friends but I can't say I'll ever go on a 5 day cruise again. I think its a wonderful option for families though!
The last thing we learned: Cruises are more expensive than what they put off. SO many things add up and drinks on the boat are overpriced. We could've stayed a week in Cancun with the total amount spent. It was so worth it but we definitely learned. I would just double check all of the charges and know what to expect when you're planning.

Paradise Valley 'dream team' goes Over the Edge in support of Special Olympics
Dec 12th, 2017 · by Melissa Rosequist · Comments:
Paradise Valley Police Chief Peter Wingert prepares to repel down 27-stories in downtown Phoenix in 2016. (submitted photo)
Twelve members of the Paradise Valley community — including a former mayor, police officers, and a school teacher — will be scaling down the side of a 27-story office building in support of Arizona's 16,000 Special Olympics athletes.
Beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 9, Special Olympics Arizona is hosting the Over the Edge event, where members of the community rappel down the 385-foot CityScape building in downtown Phoenix.
Members of the Paradise Valley Police Department are taking their fundraising efforts to the next level, by committing to raise at least $13,000 for the event, and enlisting the help of others.
The Special Olympics is often the only place for people with intellectual disabilities to have an opportunity to participate in their communities and develop belief in themselves. According to the Special Olympics Arizona website, Special Olympics sports provides a gateway to empowerment, competence, acceptance and joy.
"I believe in the Special Olympics Arizona program," Police Chief Peter Wingert explained of his motivation to repel down 27-stories.
"This is a great organization where over 95 percent of the funds raised go right back into the programs for the Special Olympic athletes."
Fifty percent of people within the Special Olympics program are gainfully employed in Arizona, Chief Wingert says, whereas only 10 percent of individuals with intellectual disabilities not in Special Olympics have jobs.
"Special Olympics program changes a life, maybe even your own," he said, in a Dec. 6 emailed response to questions. "It's addictive to see the smiles on the faces of the athletes when they reach their goal."
Repelling down the side of a skyscraper —- a somewhat uncommon event, even for the local police chief — will bring butterflies to your stomach, Chief Wingert says.

"The journey to the top of the building for the descent brings butterflies to the stomach and the first three steps off the side of the building are nerve-wracking," he explained.
"After that, the journey to the bottom is fun and relaxing. The view from outside of the 400-foot building is awesome, the company of the team is great on the rappel, and the cheerleaders are enthusiastic."
Chief Wingert and Patrol Lieutenant Freeman Carney participated in the event in years past. Their overall goal is to become the No. 1 agency per capita in Arizona for Special Olympics fundraising.
"Each team member needed to raise $1,000 to be able to go over the edge. $1,000 will support two athletes for an entire year," Lt. Carney said in a Dec. 6 emailed response to questions. "Last year we raised $2,355 and this year with the additional team members, we have knocked that out of the park."
Joining the police officers this year, in what has been coined the "Paradise Valley Dream Team," includes:
Former Paradise Valley Mayor Ed Winkler
Paradise Valley Police volunteers Ellen Andeen and Rich Lyons
Paradise Valley Police officers Chris Hadley, Amy McGhee and Steven McGhee
Community members Maverick Gamez, Sierra McGhee and Jennifer Moore.
Paradise Valley police officer Steven McGhee says he is participating in the event to support his brother.
"I am doing it for my brother who is a Special Olympic athlete," Mr. McGhee said in a Dec. 7 emailed response to questions. "I want to support him and a friend by raising the $1,000 so each can receive the services offered by Special Olympics for the next year."
In total, 95.4 percent of funds raised will go to programs and services for the athletes. Special Olympics Arizona offers health education, healthcare referral resources, leadership opportunities, and life changing sport opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities, Mr. McGhee says.
The department has raised nearly $15,000 for the event so far, and is still accepting donations throughout the year to reach their goal of No. 1 donor.
"Since each department's fundraising efforts will fluctuate year to year, we believe if we hit $26,000 for the year we would be ranked No. 1 per capita. Any help will get us closer to our goal," Mr. McGhee explained.
For most of the Dream Team members, this will be their first time going "over the edge."
"More than anything the feeling is excitement because they've worked so hard to raise their funds and they realize it is going to a good cause," Mr. McGhee said of the team's feelings prior to the event. "We will be looking for new Dream Team members from our community next year to replace those who have taken the leap and gone Over the Edge."
Local entities have also contributed to the cause, including generous support from local resorts JW Marriott Camelback Inn, Andaz, Hermosa Inn, Mountain Shadows and the DoubleTree Resort, Lt. Carney noted.
"People with intellectual disabilities encounter daily adversities, and they overcome those as they participate in these athletic competitions," Lt. Carney said.
"We can help raise money for them as we step into their shoes and find in ourselves a portion of the courage they exhibit every day when we go down the outside of a very tall sky scraper. It is a great thing to be able to raise money for such a tremendous cause and then to participate by rappelling down a 27-story building makes it that much more thrilling."

Q: Humans fake FTL-communication - Story identification I read this story in about 2010 or earlier.  It is probably much older, as I think it was bundled in a collection (which consisted of standalone-works).

A group of powerful races establishes contact with humanity. The humans can send one person to a trial, where he will be asked questions which will decide something really important (I forgot what exactly, but failure was not an option).
For some reason the scientists assume that the aliens are not able to communicate over interstellar distances in real time. This means wherever the trial is hold (either forgot or is never mentioned), the judges must be there (it later turns out they were holograms, the judges sat at home using FTL-communication). If the human can successfully fake that he is capable of FTL-communication, the trial will be guaranteed to end in his (and humanities) favor.
The judges ask the human some questions which he should answer without help, but thanks to a hidden headphone he can get the answers from the best scientists of earth.
In the end it is revealed that the device is just a recording and not actually capable of transmission. The judges are amused by the try and decide in favor of humanity, though they never tell that they saw through the trick. In the end it is revealed that the aliens are indeed capable of FTL-communication.

Especially the end might be oversimplified. I also can't remember what was on stake, continued existence or approval to join the aliens in their big family.

A: This is likely to be "Conviction" by Brian Aldiss, based on a previous question's answer.
Someone (perhaps the OP?) indicated via comment that a very similarly-described story was either this title or "Panel Game," but an ultrabrief synopsis of "Panel Game" indicates it's a different story (about a "consumer dystopia").
Courtesy of an online review [with thanks to FuzzyBoots, who located it], here's a brief synopsis of the plot, which certainly seems to match:

Poor David Stevens is just an average kind of guy who is suddenly
  picked randomly to represent Earth before a tribunal of God-like
  overlords of the Universe. He has been given just months to prepare
  his case before his trial.
If Stevens fails to convince the mighty beings that we are worthy to
  join their federation, Earth will be annihilated. Stevens does his
  best and hopes getting advice secretly through concealed microphones
  connecting him to the US government will be enough to save us.

Shares of Big Hit Entertainment Make Strong Debut
Bycryptoskoop_admin
The listing price for Big Hit Entertainment was twice its issue price making it one of the most-successful public listings in the last three years.
After a massive IPO response last month from South Korean investors, shares of Big Hit Entertainment – the music label of K-pop superstars BTS – made a strong debut today on Thursday, October 15.
The Big Hit Entertainment shares opened at double its issue price. The issue price was 135,000 Korean won per share while the stock gave an opening at 270,000 Korean won per share. During the IPO, the company raised a whopping 963 billion won ($840 million). This made it the largest IPO in South Korea in the last three years.
Just before the trading started on Thursday, Big Hit valuations were 4.8 trillion won ($4.1 billion). this was more than the combined valuations of the three-biggest listed record labels in South Korea. This was all because of the massive rise of BTS which accounted for 97% of Big Hit's sales last year. Speaking to CNBC, Daniel Yoo, head of global investment at Yuanta Securities Korea, said that South Korea's entertainment sector is making a mark on the global scale.
"We think that the entertainment industry will be very important industry for Korea for investor(s) to invest," Yoo said. However, he also admitted that the current valuations for Big Hit Entertainment "might be too expensive". As noted Big Hit's current dependency is entirely on the seven-member boyband BTS.
South Korea's Entertainment Market and BTS' Rise
Beyond-the-Scene (BTS) started in 2005 with the contribution of Bang Si-hyuk, popular as "hitman" Bang. Since its, debut, BTS has grown at a tremendous speed to become the country's top band. BTS has also a massive fan-following overseas, especially in the United States.
It is also the first South Korean group to hit the top spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with the song "Dynamite". K-Pop's success has really transformed Big Hit's fortunes. Over the last few years, Big Hit's sales have skyrocketed to unprecedented highs. However, some analysts think that now it is a public listed company, too much dependency on one band isn't good. Park Ju-gun, a business analyst from corporate analysis firm CEO Score, told CNN:
"Ninety percent of Big Hit Entertainment's revenue is from BTS, so the risk is there. But it has started to shift its revenue structure to a multifaceted portfolio."
Another major disruption for BTS could be South Korea's compulsory military service rule for all healthy men below 28. This might create some headwinds for the band's performance going ahead.

Carpet Beetle Facts
Carpet beetles deserve to rank near the top of your list of uninvited guests. These oval-shaped flying insects can ruin your carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, and clothing as well as cause irritating dermatitis in children and sensitive adults. These are unwelcome guests you really want to "show the door" as quickly as possible. Learn more carpet beetle facts below:
The four life-stages of carpet beetles are egg, larvae, pupae, and adult. Female carpet beetles lay up to a hundred eggs, which hatch into larvae in approximately 35 days. This stage is the most damaging because larvae feed on carpets and clothing. The larval stage lasts 6 to 18 months, during which these voracious insects do the most damage. The final part of the larval stage is metamorphosis, after which the adult beetle emerges. Adult carpet beetles can live up to a year.
The larvae are very small, so it can be difficult to spot them. Larvae look like tiny, hairy worms and prefer dark, undisturbed areas such as under furniture, rugs and in closets. Adult black carpet beetles are black with brown-colored legs, and their length in inches ranges from 1/8 to 3/16. As larvae, these pests shed skin and fecal pellets, each of which can cause allergic reactions in some people. Carpet beetles do not bite people or animals. The irritation caused by contact with carpet beetle larvae can be confused with bites from bed bugs or fleas. Property damage from carpet beetles is very similar to moth damage. Small, irregular-shaped holes in clothes and rugs are a telltale sign of either a carpet beetle or moth problem. If it is a moth problem, you will usually see moths in the area. Adult carpet beetles prefer to live outdoors and graze on pollen.
Maintaining cleanliness may not be enough to avoid an infestation from carpet beetles. Since these pests can enter on food packages, luggage and on shoes, they are difficult to avoid—especially if you have a pet, as larvae feed on animal fur and dander. Along with vacuuming, professional carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning are essential. Detergent and hot water kill the larvae, so this is an important means of limiting carpet beetle populations indoors.
Other recommended measures to reduce the likelihood of a carpet beetle problem are:
Effective sanitation including routine vacuuming and housekeeping of pantry shelves and pet feeding and sleeping areas helps reduce the breeding sites and food sources;
Storing items like wool clothing, leather and fur coats in sealed garment bags;
Checking flowers, patio plants, and any second-hand items carefully before bringing indoors;
Dry cleaning and using a clothes dryer on high heat to kill carpet beetle larvae in clothing and drapes;
Ensuring that air ducts are clean and attics and crawl spaces are free of animal nests or carcasses.
Pesticides may be necessary to eliminate an existing infestation. Choose a pesticide designed for carpet beetles and follow label directions. Eliminating a heavy infestation is best left to a professional pest control specialist. If you suspect that you have a carpet beetle problem or want to avoid one, call Clean Pro Cleaning & Restoration so that we can clean your carpet, upholstery and drapery. That is a logical first step to eliminating these destructive invaders.
