In the church plan provision is made for the needs and development of every age group. So itis fitting that the Sunday School which encompasses all age groups should have been the firstorganization to become active, June 26, 1898, right after the first families came to the Valley. Fromthat first tentative beginning with a superintendent, Samuel Carter, and two teachers, William H. andDelle R. Ivins, a somewhat more complete organization was effected the next year, 1899, withWilliam A. Terry, Superintendent, William H. Ivins and Ras Millen, Counselors, Robert Ashby,Secretary and presumably teachers. This was done under the direction of Bishop Judd before thestake authorities came to organize the different auxiliaries.
When the stake authorities came in November 1900, W. A. Terry was retained as Superintendentand W. H. Ivins as first Counselor with Robert Chadburn replacing Ras Millen as second Counselorand Ella Baxter taking Robert Ashby's place as Secretary. In the ensuing years a number of menserved as Sunday School Superintendent, Heber C. Smith, Samuel Alonzo Gardner, Claude Fawcett,Thorley Fawcett, Hugh Reid, Benjamin Sinfield, Anthony Ivins, Gardner Scow, Milton Gardner,Clinton Scow and Vance McKenzie.
As an extension of the Sunday Sacrament meeting, the class work of the different age groups isconcerned with spiritual and religious training. The Sunday School's chief contributions to theholiday season are its special programs at Christmas, Easter and the Twentyfourth of Ju!y stressingthe spiritual meaning underlying the observance of these holidays. A float in the Twenty-fourthparade each year carries out this theme in a variety of ways.
Separation of the youngest members of the Sunday School from the main group has resulted inmore effective teaching of the three to eight year olds. This was accomplished by the organizationof the Junior Sunday School in June 1952. Elinor Gardner was the first Coordinator with GeraldineOxborrow as Assistant. Other coordinators have been, Juanita Hendrix, Joyce Ivins, Darlene Reid,Alice Hendrix and Sharon McKenzie.
Assistants: Carl Fawcett, Morris Oxborrow, Milton D. Gardner, Neil Gardner Jr.

Chinese hacker school shut down
By David Neal on Feb 9, 2010 12:10AM
Raid on Black Hawk Safety Net.
A report in the China Daily newspaper claims that the country's biggest hacker training site has been shut down by the authorities.
The paper said that three people have been arrested, and that assets to the value of ¥1.7m ($287,536) have been seized, suggesting that the site was big business.
The Black Hawk Safety Net site was set up in 2005, and had some 12,000 members, all of whom may have paid up to ¥2,000 ($341) for training in hacking and other online criminal activities.
A further 170,000 people were registered on the site, but had not paid a fee and had received only low level hacking tips and tricks, according to the report.
The authorities seized a number of web servers, five computers and a car.
China's recently created anti-hacking laws make it illegal to attack software and other computer programs.
However the country's reputation has recently been tarnished by allegations that hackers from the region have been involved in cyber attacks on Google and UK businesses.

NATS 'Very Pleased' with Windows 7 Upgrade
Started 9 years ago by RichT
RichT
Britain's National Air Traffic Control System was said to be 'running very smoothly' last night following its upgrade to Windows 7.
The Application which is used to monitor Britain's entire aircraft industry had been running on a copy of Windows XP for the last 8 years after an attempt to upgrade it to run on Vista failed dramatically at the license key page, however Microsoft had been pressing for the upgrade as the possibility of having more than 999 planes in the sky at any given time would have caused the well known operating system to crash, with the resulting "blue screen of death" having ironic implications for the aircraft it would have been guiding.
"It's business as usual and customers can go on holiday happy that they are in safe hands" said chief controller Charlie 'Biggles' Waithwaite who leads the 200 strong team at their centre in Brightnorton.
At a demonstration today NATS they were keen to show off their new system. "Not only are we on the latest Microsoft platform" boasted Mr. Waithwaite, "but we've moved from a bog standard Dell PC to this top of the range AlienWare Gamer System which has one of the best graphics cards in the business. And the power button glows blue when you turn it on!" he declared with a suitably awed assembled press uttering gasps of astonishment as the plastic light lit up upon pressing it.
After a brief panic about username's and passwords the main screen was beamed onto the 10 metre display at the front of the control centre. A quick game of minesweeper later and it was time for the showcase with Mr. Waithwaite duly clicking on LandPlanes.exe for the Nations Air Control Software to Launch.
Within seconds the screen was filled with little dots portrayed over a copy of Google Maps and Mr. Waithwaite was grinning like a Cheshire cat. "Ignore the bit about evaluation has expired at the bottom" he requested, "we're getting something in the post for that soon I'm sure".
Microsoft we're on hand to add some glitz to the occasion. "We're very pleased NATS is now running on the latest Windows version" said PR Director Hillary Bowden, "and with Microsoft Updates turned on automatically they can rest assured the software will keep itself in tip top shape, installing security updates and restarting all by itself when it needs to."

Q: Facebook forcing a redirect For some reason, Facebook is picking up on a redirect on my posts which is leading to issues with sharing.
Take a look: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
Then try this URL in the debugger: http://punsdepot.com/pun/22
What's odd is if I change the permalink structure to use the post slug, it doesn't redirect.
I disabled all plugins to see if it was plugin related and found nothing. I also tried a couple of redirect detectors and everything seems to come back as a normal 200 response.
Any ideas?

Djokovic wins fourth Wimbledon title and 13th major
Last updated Jul 16, 2018 11,086
Novak Djokovic raced to a fourth Wimbledon title and 13th career Grand Slam crown on Sunday when he defeated a battling but exhausted Kevin Anderson 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7/3).
World number 21 Djokovic added the 2018 title to his wins in 2011, 2014 and 2015 as he became the lowest-ranked champion since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.
It also took his Slam total to within one of Pete Sampras and just four behind the 17 of Rafael Nadal who he defeated in the semi-finals.
"It's more special as it's the first time I can hear my little boy say 'daddy, daddy'," said Djokovic whose son Stefan was up in the players box.

"I would like to congratulate Kevin, he had an incredible run. He had quite a few hours on the court.
"In his first Wimbledon final he didn't play his best in the first two sets, but in the final set he was a better player and I was quite lucky to get through."
This time last year, Djokovic's career was in turmoil after he retired in the quarter-finals with an elbow injury which required surgery and forced him off the tour for the rest of the year.
"It's easy to talk now. I had to really trust the process. I had to trust in myself," he said.
"I had a surgery, faced for the first time this kind of severe injury. There were many moments of doubts.
"I didn't know if I could come back to this level to compete."
Anderson, the eighth seed, was the first South African in the final in 97 years and was bidding to become the first man from his country to be crowned Wimbledon champion.
However, he had spent 21 hours on court getting to the final and that marathon effort came back to haunt him at the worst possible time despite a late rally when he had five set points in the third set.
Victory was 31-year-old Djokovic's first at the majors since he completed the career Grand Slam at Roland Garros in 2016.
It also came just a month after he threatened to skip Wimbledon after a quarter-loss exit in Paris and with his ranking at its lowest in over a decade.
Anderson had needed five sets and saved a match point to beat Roger Federer in the last-eight.
He then played six hours and 36 minutes to defeat John Isner in the semis in the second longest singles match ever played at a Grand Slam.
It was hardly surprising that he suffered a dramatic power failure in the first two sets against a player who he had defeated only once in six previous meetings and that was 10 years ago.
Having arrived in the final with 172 aces to his name, Anderson managed just 10 on Sunday.
He also failed to convert any of his seven break points.
"I tried my best. I came close to taking it to a fourth set but Novak is a true champion of our sport," said Anderson.
"I am definitely not as fresh as I was at the start of the week.
"But this is an amazing tournament and players give everything to be on this court
"Only a few have done it. I would have given another 21 hours to have this opportunity."
– Sluggish Anderson –
Anderson, sluggish in the 30-degree, was broken on a double fault in the first game
That set the tone and Djokovic broke again in the fifth game on his way to securing the opener.
The Serb conceded just three points on his serve.
In the first Wimbledon final featuring two players over 30, Anderson's chances looked slim when he called for treatment on his upper right arm during the changeover.
It was far from the spectacle that the crowd and Royal Box — which included the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prime Minister Theresa May as well as actors Hugh Grant and Benedict Cumberbatch — had anticipated.
The second set followed a similar pattern, Djokovic breaking in the first and fifth games and fighting off the only break point he faced in the eighth game.
Late in the set, the exhausted Anderson's total number of games played in his seven matches at Wimbledon set a new record for the most ever in one edition of the tournament.
Anderson carved out five set points in the third set but all were saved by Djokovic, who went to victory when the South African netted a return.
Djokovic knelt to the ground and munched the grass to celebrate.
"The grass tasted really well. I had a double portion this year to treat myself," he said. –AFP

Thomas Harrigan was a contestant from Survivor: New Beginnings.
Thomas managed to survive the beginning stage of the game due to his pre-game connections to some of the members of the tribe as well as being one of the stronger members of Ferocity. After the tribe swap, Thomas's gameplay became more passive and this allowed Swale to flip the vote off of him and onto Thomas, sending him home in a 3-2 vote.

Pruhs told Ewers during Monday's council meeting that the city must come up with a plan on how it'll recover at least some of the $3 million the city has spent over the past year-and-a-half trying to help homeowners affected by the growing groundwater-contamination problem.
Pruhs said Tuesday the plan would include discussion of how the city could seek compensation for homeowners who he says will be paying for the city's response to the contamination through their property taxes. He says the plan should include a list of agencies, companies and other entities that have used the city's Regional Fire Training Center. That's where personnel trained on the use of fire-suppressing foam that contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, the chemical compounds that've contaminated groundwater near the fire-training center and elsewhere around Fairbanks.
Ewers says training with foam containing PFAS and related chemical compounds took place at the fire-training center for 30 years, ending in 2004.
The burn pit was lined with plastic, but firefighting foam was splashed outside the pit during training. That gave the PFAS and related chemical compounds a means to infiltrate groundwater.
Mayor Jim Matherly said Tuesday that Ewers has been working on a legal strategy to respond to the groundwater contamination. He says Ewers will try to finish the job in 90 days – but he adds it's a very convoluted and complicated case.
"Obviously this takes time to contact everybody," Matherly said. "It takes time to figure out who used what, who used it when. Just because they used the fire-training center doesn't mean they used the fire pit, where the chemical was.
The mayor says the case would get even more complicated if the city decided to go after 3M, the Minnesota-based manufacturer that developed PFAS and helped promoted its wide use in many other household and industrial products.
Other local and state governments that've been affected by PFAS contamination have sued 3M, including Minnesota, which recently won an $850 million settlement with the company. Matherly says Ewers also is considering seeking compensation from local agencies that used the fire-training center.
"His other alternative is to contact the state, the university, some of the volunteer fire departments, and he's done that, to see if they can share the cost," Matherly said.
The mayor says the evolving strategy probably will require city property owners to pay up front, through the extra mill on their property tax bills, to cover the costs of assisting homeowners and pursuing lawsuits until the city can recover damages.
Matherly says the council probably will decide in the fall to consider whether and when to levy the additional mill to help pay for the contamination response.

BREWHIVE
When eCommerce entrepreneurs Kevin Dorren and Andrew Veitch saw a niche in the market to provide a small range of premium, carefully crafted and distinctively flavoured beers for the discerning food lover, Brewhive became a reality.
The challenge for their latest online venture however was how to transport glass bottles and fragile beer glasses to consumers in the most cost effective manner while offering the highest levels of protection. Working with Antalis Packaging to design and develop specialist cartons, Brewhive now has the solution, offering outstanding protection at reduced costs and with minimum waste.
Launched in August 2015, Brewhive's USP lies in the sourcing, provenance and selection of ingredients that are carefully mixed to give each beer its unique recipe and distinctive taste. Equally important is the safe, secure and cost efficient delivery of the bottles to its end-consumer target audience.
Learn how to resolve your packaging cost issues
Anna Roper, Marketing Manager at Brewhive, explains: "our main target audience are consumers that are looking for an alternative beverage to enjoy and savour at home and as an accompaniment to the food they are eating, rather than selling to the retail or catering markets. Therefore, the selection, mix and creation of individual recipes for our beers is vital to Brewhive's unique product offering."
With its heritage in ecommerce, Brewhive has engaged the services of external expert suppliers to ensure the overall experience of product, service and delivery matches consumer's expectations. While recipe development and brewing is the domain of highly trained master brewers, the development of suitable packaging for the glass-bottled beverages lies with the expert development team at Antalis Packaging.
"We're delighted with the outcome which has resulted in a 50% reduction in consumables costs for Brewhive by introducing the new cartons."
says Anna.
Roper continues, "With customer loyalty being so easily and negatively affected when receiving damaged or broken goods, this was a key priority for us when looking for a packaging solution. Equally vital however, was how we could maintain the high levels of protection needed to transport glass-based products while keeping costs and material wastage to a minimum."
Having worked with Brewhive's sister businesses, The Fine Coffee Club and Diet Chef, the Antalis Packaging team already had a well-established working relationship with the organisation, and understood there was no 'on the shelf' solution to Brewhive's requirements.
Brewhive's Account Manager at Antalis Packaging commented "We were involved right at the beginning to design and develop suitable packaging, which not only had to accommodate Brewhive's speciality bottled beers, it also had to cater for the transportation of drinking glasses aswell."
"Unlike the usual online retailers of premium branded wines, each of Brewhive's bottled beers have a much lower unit price. Our biggest challenge therefore was how to successfully devise a carton that would provide maximum protection at the lowest possible cost."
The brief from Brewhive also needed to address the impact and ease of consumer handling and disposal of the protective packaging. Having considered all void-fill solutions, from cushioning, suspension, air-pack products, foam and even chemical mouldings, Antalis Packaging finally opted for a carton made from corrugated board that could easily be recycled in domestic environments.
Brewhive started by offering orders ranging from 6 to 24 bottles per order. However, after the first few months of trading, it saw the emergence of a new and distinct purchasing pattern amongst their customer base, which provided the opportunity for them to revisit their minimum sales orders and adapt their packaging requirements to cater for this new offering.
"Through the various tests and process we had undertaken during the initial design phase, we were confident that corrugated cardboard was the right substrate to use. We therefore set out to review the outer carton and develop and test ways in which we could reduce the size without compromising on protection levels," Antalis' Account Manager explained.
The result, was the introduction of a revised outer case carton that was significantly reduced in size, yet designed to give the flexibility of catering for orders of either 12 or 24 bottles. In addition, the new solution means that Brewhive is now spending less on packaging materials and less on postage costs, without compromising the integrity of their bottled beers and glasses."
"We're delighted with the outcome which has resulted in a 50% reduction in consumables costs for Brewhive by introducing the new cartons," says Roper. "This has not only delivered considerable cost savings for us as a business, it has enabled us to pass on this saving to our customers in the form of more product promotions."
"From the very start, Antalis Packaging understood our business needs for a low cost, high protection solution. They have continued to be extremely responsive and adaptable to our constantly changing business model delivering ever more beneficial packaging solutions in response to our changing demands. What's more, our courier company is also highly impressed, and have reported much fewer breakages thanks to the superiority of the Brewhive packaging."

Rodeo Houston News: Livestock Show and Rodeo 2021 Update
Photo courtesy of Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
2/4/21 - By Roberta B
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo announced the sad news today that COVID-19 has stopped Rodeo Houston in its tracks for yet another year. The annual staple event on the Houston calendar was at first rescheduled for May, in the hope that by then the beloved community celebration could be safely launched. Sadly, this won't be possible. While a few associated activities are still planning to go forward in a limited way (see below), the rodeo itself is reining it in until 2022.
Kids missing rodeo? Maybe try riding a horse in the meantime!
Events cancelled for 2021 include the rodeo competitions, carnival, concerts, entertainment, and other attractions and activities. Families will also have to wait another year to enjoy the Downtown Rodeo Parade, Rodeo Uncorked! Roundup & Best Bites Competition, the World's Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, and the various trail ride activities.
Although the Junior Livestock and the daily Horse Show competitions are still planning to go ahead in March as scheduled, these events will now be held privately—meaning without a public audience. The Junior Market Auctions and Champion Wine Auction are still planning to go forward in May (details still to follow). And the Rodeo Run is switching to a virtual format, with details also to be announced soon.
Above all, the health and safety of the community is Rodeo's top priority, which is why officials reached the only conclusion they could, which was cancelling the 2021 event. As disappointing as this is to everyone involved, Rodeo Houston is looking ahead to return with gusto in 2022 to celebrate its 90th anniversary.
We will share dates and information for the 2022 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo as soon as they are announced, so watch this space. In the meantime, families can try to distract themselves with the many other great outdoor Houston activities that can get kids out of the house safely in these challenging times.

Cuomo: Some hospital visits will be allowed for coronavirus patients
Sixteen hospitals in New York state will allow visitors as part of a pilot program addressing the heartbreak of Covid-19 patients suffering while isolated from their families and friends.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said visits under the two-week pilot program will be time-limited. Visitors will need to wear protective equipment and will be subject to temperature and symptom checks.
Strict visitation rules were adopted to check the spread of the virus, but they have resulted in painful scenes of patients relying on phones or tablets for emotional conversations with loved ones.
Memorial Day celebrations will be allowed, but not in the five boroughs
State widens testing eligibility as social distancing hits snag
"It is terrible to have someone in the hospital and then that person is isolated, not being able to see their family and friends," Cuomo said.
Nine of the hospitals participating are in New York City, with the rest spread out around the state.
Cuomo made the announcement as COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths continue to decline. There are an average of 335 new hospitals admissions a day.
There were 105 new deaths recorded Monday.

Q: SSIS - Bulk Insert with Format File and Single Quotes I am using SQL Server 2014.
I am being supplied a csv file that has 3 columns (AddressLine columns below) that MAY contain values surrounded by single quotes....example...
Name, Age,  AddressLine1              ,  AddressLine3  ,    AddressLine3,  Job
Paul, 31 ,  '59, Reed Close'          ,  Ashby         ,    Essex       ,  Carpenter
Jane, 39 ,  Bond Street               ,  Rochford      ,    Kent        ,  Nurse
Mary, 31 ,  'Tomb Lodge, Reeve  Close',  Poole         ,    Essex       ,  Football Player
Ian , 31 ,  66 Puffin Road            ,  'Maine, Kent,',    'Kent, UK'  ,  Policeman

I am tying to execute a SQL Server bulk insert statement using a format file...
The load is failing around the Address columns - probably an error in my format file.

<RECORD>
    <FIELD ID ="1" xsi:type="CharTerm" TERMINATOR="," MAX_LENGTH="255" />
    <FIELD ID ="2" xsi:type="CharTerm" TERMINATOR="," MAX_LENGTH="255" />

    <FIELD ID ="6" xsi:type="CharTerm" TERMINATOR="\r\n" MAX_LENGTH="15" />
  </RECORD>

Is there a way I can handle optional single quotes in the data in a format file or another way?

A: The problem is really your csv file having spaces.
If you format your csv like this:
Name,Age,AddressLine1,AddressLine2,AddressLine3,Job
Paul,31,'59, Reed Close',Ashby,Essex,Carpenter
Jane,39,Bond Street,Rochford,    Kent        ,  Nurse
Mary, 31 ,'Tomb Lodge, Reeve  Close',  Poole         ,    Essex       ,  Football Player
Ian , 31 ,  66 Puffin Road            ,'Maine, Kent,','Kent, UK',  Policeman

Then you can use text qualifier like this:

with results like this:

Bread - Make It with You (1970)
Download Audio:
Make It with You is a song written by David Gates and originally recorded by the pop/rock group Bread, of which Gates was a member. The song was well-received by easy-listening stations at the beginning of the singer-songwriter driven soft rock era, reaching number four on the Billboard Easy Listening Top 40.
The song first appeared on Bread's 1970 album On the Waters. Released as a single in June 1970, it would become the group's first top ten and only number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S., spending the week of August 22, 1970, at the top spot. Billboard ranked the record as the No. 13 song of 1970. The single reached number five on the UK Singles Chart. It was also certified gold by the RIAA for sales of over one million copies.
When the song was released, Gates' mother was asked by a local interviewer how her son's music career was going. Misunderstanding the song's title, Mrs. Gates replied her son, David, and his group had just recorded a song called "Naked With You."

Baby I'm-a Want You by Bread from the album Baby I'm-a Want You
Baby I'm-a Want You is a popular song by the American pop-rock band Bread. The single was released in October 1971. It became the title track for the album of the same name, released in January 1972.
It was one of Bread's highest-charting singles in both the U.S. and U.K. In the U.S., it reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1971, the third of Bread's four top-five hits ("Make It with You", #1 in 1970; "If", #4 earlier in 1971; and "Everything I Own", from the same album, #5 in 1972). "Baby I'm-a Want You" reached the top of the easy listening chart and rose to #14 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1972.
It was certified as a gold record by the RIAA. As with virtually all of the band's well-known recordings, the song was both written and produced by the band's lead vocalist, David Gates.

Bread - It Don't Matter To Me
Bread peaked at #127 on Billboard's (North America) Pop Albums chart. A remake of "It Don't Matter to Me" charted in 1970 after the release of Bread's second album. It peaked at #2 and #10 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary and Pop Singles charts, respectively.
The album's cover, with whimsical depictions of the band members photos on paper currency, refers to contemporary slang equating "bread" to money.


A very traditional izakaya serving creative Japanese small dishes. Itamae has an expensive vibe, but it's quite affordable. Lunch menus like donburi are priced at 1,500yen. A dinner course, rotated weekly, costs 5,250yen. Itamae is very crowded and you typically need to make a reservation at least a week ahead.


Every once and a while – I am lobbed the classic emerging trend question.
The one that asks you to peer into your crystal ball and reach for something a little extraordinary that isn't on someone's radar. Something grounded with a hint of evidence but not yet here in the marketplace. Something useful. Patterns not yet present.
and when I answer – sometimes I get nods. Sometimes I get the 'you're a few bricks short of a load' look.
Here is what I answered with recently..
Typically, I start these conversations by taking off a shoe and detaching the high heel – thereby demonstrating the sheer engineering genius of my dearest friend Tanya Heath and the most innovative wearable invention to hit the shoe industry in a thousand years. Tanya designed a shoe with detachable heels so women can move from short to high heel. I extremely proud to see her shoes in Paris, Australia and Portugal as well as a brand new Yorkville location.
The rise of artificial intelligence and self learning virtual agents an obvious development. (something I'm currently dabbling with – with the amazing @alexglinka – who talks about probabilistic to predictive analytics with Strategy Mag ) i Have you noticed the maturing of SIRI yet? I rely on SIRI to call people – often asking her to call "mom and dad". About 4 weeks ago, SIRI asked me "Is this your mother?" – and for first time, SIRI collected specific data on me. Of course, SIRI has a long way to go. She stills asks me which number to call when I only ever use one of the two numbers I have for my mother. Still – the future is in learning about me – who I call mother, when I call, what I ask for – both implicit and explicit data is coming. Over time – connected with my cell number – a system will learn a lot about me. Its all rather minority report ish.
I also am fascinated with the rise of chat – particularly with LINE and its brand extensions. Here is a massive Korean messaging / search company with no need for an IPO. It has released LINE PLAY- with ability to create an avatar that looks like you and play games with friends *and* LINE PAY – the chat that lets you pay for things.. including a cool 'dutch pay' function so you and friends can go dutch. It already has 1.2 Million subscribers!
But what fascinates me is also the emergence of emoticon based languaging – a language with no words. Could we be moving to a cross cultural language? One that transcends lingual differences? Yet — our North American emoticons are so different from those in Asia. Ever wonder why? Great 2007 article on this..
Also fascinating is the re-introduction of avatars – the ability to design your virtual self. I speculate that second life was six years too soon. This interest led me to @RamonaPringle 's Avatar Secrets – an interactive documentary for the ipad and a very multi-dimensional take on storytelling.
At which point.. I got a bit of blank stare..

I received a lovely letter on March 25th from Reid Hoffman, Co-founder and Chairman of Linkedin. He wrote to personally thank the first 100, 000 linkedin members as Linkedin secured its 100th million user last week. I was member 39, 974 – in the top 0.03% (so better than top 1%) of early adopters for Linkedin. Okay – so my ego is stroked. Honestly though – its not just ego – but I feel strangely validated for having promoted Linkedin to scores and scores of colleagues over the years.
I want to personally thank you because you were one of LinkedIn's first 100,000 members (member number 39974 in fact!*). In any technology adoption lifecycle, there are the innovators, those who help lead the way. That was you.
We hit a big milestone at LinkedIn this week when our 100 millionth member joined the site.
When we founded LinkedIn, our vision was to help the world's professionals be more successful and productive. Today, with your help, LinkedIn is changing the lives of millions of members by helping them connect with others, find jobs, get insights, start a business, and much more.
We are grateful for your support and look forward to helping you accomplish much more in the years to come. I hope that you are having a great year.
*Your member number is the number embedded in your LinkedIn profile URL (after "id=").
I started using Linkedin over seven years ago mostly because as a mobile IBM worker, I had no desk and so keeping a rolodex wasn't digital enough for me. I was also using Friendster, encouraged by a friend in Hong Kong, well before Facebook took over my personal social life and I tried Plaxo for a bit before I gave up.
I really only grasped the huge value of Linkedin, however, when I took my first maternity leave in 2005 only to return 12 months later and instantly be able to find my marketing network because each person had updated their own profile. Heaven.
In 2009, when the market took a dive and I was laid off in my twelfth month of my second maternity leave (after hiring a nanny), I turned to linkedin to better position me and my business. I used Linkedin strategically – optimizing not only my profile but how I used the tool in order to make connections, update my network and secure information.
In the year of exponential social media growth (still in 2009), I had a lot of friends in career transition. Many of whom were not on Linkedin or if they were, not using the tool well. So I started to trade drinks for lessons with friends. I got pretty good so I made my community give back to volunteer at employment centers around the city to teach disadvantaged people how to use social media to find a job. I taught close to 700 people how to use Linkedin. During that time – I started to win business through Linkedin – some quite sizable deals – not to mention provide social media education & consulting across the gamut of networks. I often asserted that too many companies forgot Linkedin as a potential B2B strategy.
This is all a long way of saying how grateful I am for this relationship with Linkedin. And it certainly was nice to see correspondence from Linkedin outside of their proprietary messaging system.

Kaushik Basu
Garima Goswami Darpan, 26 Feb, 2014
As Senior Vice President at World Bank, Kaushik Basu has positively impacted world economies through his well-defined policies.
An individual with extraordinary knowledge and ideas gracefully makes his way to distinct stature and appreciation.
This is the case for Kaushik Basu, who is Senior Vice President and Chief Economist for the World Bank Group. He has humbly paved his way to prominent positions and contributed his expertise towards devising effective policies for economic reformations. Basu not only displayed his genius in India, but has showcased it on a critical global platform.
Basu has held definite roles that have positively impacted the world, but it all started in India. Born in Kolkata, West Bengal, Basu completed his education in India and then attended the London School of Economics to pursue a M.Sc in Economics and later went on to acquire a PhD. During this time, Basu was extremely fascinated with the work of Amartya Sen, a renowend Indian economist and Nobel laureate.
In his elongated career, Basu engaged himself in various roles. One such pertinent role was that of a Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) to the Government of India's Ministry of Finance from 2009-2012. Prior to that, Basu was Chairman of the Department of Economics and had also held the position of Director at the Center for Analytic Economics at Cornell University in the United States.
Residing in the US with wife Alaka Malwade Basu and two children, Karna and Diksha, Basu took on the latter roles while he was on leave from Cornell University. Additionally he was also a visiting professor at renowned universities such as Harvard, Princeton University and M.I.T.
Born in 1962, this expert economist is also an ardent writer and has contributed features to notable media firms such as The New York Times, BBC News, Hindustan Times and India Today.
In 2008, former President of India, Pratibha Devisingh Patil, conferred Basu with the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award in India. The milestone was one of the many accolades this prominent economist has been bestowed with.
At a time when the globe recently experienced a major recession, Basu's appointment as Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at World Bank speaks volumes for his skill and competence. His sturdy endeavours have garnered much appreciation and profusely reflect his passion towards transforming the world's economy.
What were the biggest obstacles you faced to reach where you stand today?
For me, it is very important that I do what I enjoy. Hence, at most stages in life I made my choices by what seemed the most interesting without much thought about long run consequences. This is a risky thing to do. All I can say is that I have been lucky and did not face any serious obstacles.
Memories of childhood?
I grew up in Calcutta, now called Kolkata. I loved the city, had lots of neighbourhood friends and lots of relatives. My fondest memories are my times with them. I also used to go on regular vacations to Bihar with my parents and sisters. Bihar seemed like a blissful place.
Indians around the world have made significant contributions to their immigrated countries, what do you think of this accomplishment?
It is important to learn to love people no matter where they are from or what their background is. That is the spirit in which we should interact with people. That makes life enjoyable and also contributes to success.

How the Tea Parties Almost Killed America (Revolutionary War Edition)
By John H. Richardson
You've heard about the brave patriots at Valley Forge who waged war with bloody rags wrapped around their feet? Do you know why they couldn't afford proper boots?
Because the American revolution couldn't raise any money.
Why? Because of the Tea Parties.
"The states balked at taxing citizens during a revolution against onerous taxes, and Congress had lacked the power to levy taxes, leaving borrowing as the only solution," says Ron Chernow in his bestselling biography of Alexander Hamilton.
That's right, folks — because of its Tea Party-inspired hatred of taxes, America came into the world broke and in debt.
Hamilton had tried various fixes. He campaigned for a "federal impost," a 5 percent duty on all imports. He called for federal tax collectors who could supersede state laws, which was necessary because the states didn't like coughing up the money.
He got nowhere. By the winter of 1783, freezing in its winter quarters in Newburgh, New York, the Revolutionary Army came close to mutiny. In June, armed soldiers began marching on Philadelphia to demand their money. By the time they got to the city and prepared to march on Congress, there were 400 of them stabbing their bayonets into the air and raiding arsenals for more weapons.
Part of the problem was lack of a national currency. States had their own money, and exchange rates were so unpredictable, many merchants still worked in pounds and shillings.
By the end of the Revolution, the outstanding debt was huge: $79 million dollars. The federal government sold its last warship and the army dwindled to about 700. Trade disputes between the states were so intense, many feared a civil war.
The states tried to settle their individual debt by raising state taxes, which caused strife in part because some states had much higher war debt than others. In Massachusetts, the large debt drove state taxes so high that farmers in the western part of the state exploded in a wave of violence that came to be known as Shay's Rebellion. "Rural turmoil erupted in western Massachusetts as thousands of indebted farmers, struggling with soaring taxes and foreclosures on their lands, grabbed staves and pitchforks, shut down courthouses, and thwarted land seizures by force."
This was when Jefferson, writing from Paris, gave the famous line so beloved among today's Tea Partiers: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." It's startling to realize that he was dismissing so blithely an armed rebellion against the United States.
Instead, Massachusetts passed debt-relief legislation that made the "rich" pay the bill. In Rhode Island, revolutionaries began calling for an end to all debt and equal division of the wealth.
Hamilton saw only one solution. "The rural uprising vindicated his sense that the federal government had to distribute the tax burden equally among the states," Chernow writes.
Hamilton also believed that the federal government needed to have debt, which wasn't any more popular then than it is now. "Many Americans still regarded banking as a black, unfathomable art, and it was anathema to upstate populists." In fact, the popular term for businessmen and bankers was "aristocrats," a term often used without irony by Southern planters with vast wealth. With their allies among the Jeffersonians, they argued that commerce was inherently corrupting and decadent and would lead people to live in cities.
But Hamilton had served as George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolution, and he'd seen up close how much an effect a national credit rating could have on something as basic as war — no loan, no boots. That led him to a study of the Bank of England, another pursuit that outraged the elite-hating populists of his time. He realized that the Bank of England had stumbled across a great financial innovation in the 1690s when it passed a tax on booze and linked that tax to the public debt — by attaching a revenue stream directly to its debt, England figured out how to make bankers happy and raise a ton of money. Over the next century, as England "vastly expanded the public debt," it turned out the populists were drastically, grievously, dangerously wrong. "Far from weakening the county, it had produced manifold benefits. Public credit had enabled England to build up the Royal Navy, to prosecute wars around the world, to maintain a global commercial empire. At the same time, government bonds issued to pay for the debt galvanized the economy since creditors would use them as collateral for loans."
Government debt was the "price of liberty," Hamilton insisted.
And so, because America was bankrupt, the colonists finally gathered at the Constitutional Convention to write a Constitution. Hamilton led the "federalists" who wanted a strong central government, and began writing the Federalist Papers to explain (among many other things) how international commerce worked, why credit was a good thing, why America needed a navy in order to become a commercial power, why federal courts had to have the right to "judicial review" of state laws, etc. The arguments over states' rights were so bitter, they almost killed the country before it began.
Hamilton's next fight was for a national bank, another bitter dispute with the Jeffersonians who dreamed of an America of small farms. It took years, but finally he got a charter for the Bank of New York and immediately got the federal government a $50,000 loan. You could even say that was the real beginning of America, the moment when it stopped being a revolutionary fantasy, gave up the adolescent dream of limitless freedom and became boring, practical, functional, and adult.
By late 1790, government bonds had tripled in value, the United States had a "sizeable" government surplus, and the economy was booming.
Back in the old days when Republicans were sane, these were the reasons they loved Alexander Hamilton and named one of their leading activist groups The Federalist Society. Hamilton was the poor meritocratic genius who rose through hard work and created the capitalist system in America. But now that they've decided to throw their lot in with the Tea Parties, Republicans sound exactly like the populists who fought against the Constitution because it might lead to higher taxes. "It's idiotic to think about increasing taxes at a time like this," says Sarah Palin. "That's going to be their plan in September, to raise taxes in the middle of a recession," says John Boehner.
They're talking about the Democrats' plan to let the Bush tax cuts continue for anyone making less than $250,000 a year but stop for anyone making more than that—in other words, at a time when Republicans have been warning us about the exploding deficit in nearly apocalyptic terms, to the point they're even willing to fight against an extension of unemployment benefits, they still think the most important thing they can do is cut taxes on the rich. It's a losing argument, which is why we've heard so much noise recently immigration in Arizona, racism at the NAACP, and this weird new obsession with Islamic mosques nearly ten years after 9/11 — the flag-burning amendments of our time. As Chernow says: "Hamilton's besetting fear was that American democracy would be spoiled by demagogues who would mouth populist shibboleths to conceal their despotism."
Nothing has changed. We're still at Valley Forge, our feet are still bloody, and phony populists are still trying to distract us.

The 2017 R1S features much of the same technology built into the R1 and R1M but with minor changes that make it the bike of choice for canyon carvers and commuters.
A 6-speed transmission is built to match the engine's delivery and character for excellent response. The transmission "stacks" the input/output shafts to centralize mass and to keep the overall engine size shorter front to back, which optimizes engine placement in the frame for outstanding weight balance.
Available as an option is the Yamaha-exclusive Communication Control Unit.The CCU allows riders to communicate with the vehicle via Wi-Fi through Yamaha's exclusive Y-TRAC smartphone and tablet app. The system is comprised of the CCU and GPS antenna, running data can be recorded via a data logger, with course mapping and automatic lap timing managed by GPS. This data can then be wirelessly downloaded to the Android® or Apple® iOS® app where it can be analyzed. Changes to settings can be made via the Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) setting app and then uploaded back to the R1S.
