Ever been to the Louvre? While it's known as the most famous art museum in the world, that title comes with some drawbacks.
Throngs of crowds parade through its hallowed halls every day, and you'll have to stand in a long queue just to get a glimpse of the Mona Lisa.
But what if you could have it all to yourself? Airbnb is partnering up with the Louvre to celebrate 30 years of its iconic glass pyramid, most famous in that one Dan Brown book, by offering one lucky winner and a plus-one the chance to spend the night sleeping INSIDE the pyramid itself!
Not only will you be able to one-up pretty much every travel Instagrammer in the world, you'll also get the whole museum to yourself, coupled with some pretty awesome once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Hosted by Mona Lisa herself, you'll have drinks with the mystery woman in her own lounge before exploring the artworks on a VIP tour. After that you'll sit down to dinner with Venus of Milo, where a personal chef will prepare a feast that is as gorgeous to look at as the art surrounding you.
Before tucking into your bed under the stars, you'll be serenaded by an acoustic musician inside Napoleon III's opulent apartments.
All you have to do is enter on the Airbnb website and write 800 characters on why you would be Mona Lisa's perfect guest, be able to travel from 28 April to 2 May and have a valid travel visa or authorisation for France.
But if you don't happen to be that lucky winner, do not fret! From May until the end of the year, a series of exclusive Experiences at the museum will be bookable on Airbnb, from intimate gigs in the museum's Café Richelieu to exclusive visits in September where you can take a tour of the Louvre after doors close.
Just stay tuned to their website, and you might be able to have a little one-on-one with the most mysterious woman in the world.


There are some big changes happening right now in the Greater Charleston area. We usually see a bit of a shift around this time of year, but some of the things we are noticing are pretty atypical.
Over the last three months, we've had 5,200 homes come on the market. However, our pending listings have dropped from 3,500 to 3,000 in that same time frame. That's a significant difference. In addition to that, the price per square foot is in the high $160s right now, but homes are selling for about $134. It tells me that there are a lot of homes on the market right now that are overpriced.
Part of the reason buyer activity has slowed down is because buyers are deciding that homes aren't just worth what sellers are asking for them and it's causing a bit of a shift. Will it continue? I have no idea, but it depends on where buyer confidence is above all else. If buyers continue to not buy and decide homes are overpriced, the market will slow down.
If you've been thinking about selling your home, right now is the perfect time. In fact, this is one of the best seller's markets I've ever seen.
If you have any questions for me or want any buying or selling advice, give me a call or send me an email. I would love to hear from you soon.

ACL Injury Exercises Knee Ligament Tear Sports Surgery & Post-op
Tearing Your ACL: Advice from Former College Athlete and Athletic Trainer
Jennifer Keitel, a native of Dewitt, Iowa, grew up as an Iowa Hawkeye fan. Little did she know, she would soon be wearing the University of Northern Iowa's logo on her chest. She had been recruited out of high school by the University of Iowa, but as soon as she stepped foot on UNI's campus, she knew that's where she would be playing basketball. When asked why she chose UNI over U of I, Jen says, "I really liked the facilities, the coaching staff, the size of the campus, and that it felt like I was going to be a part of a family and of something great! I think the impact of my official visit and being offered the scholarship also made a difference, as UNI was the first school to officially offer me a scholarship to play basketball."
As a former college athlete, Jen has an array of memories on the basketball court. She had experienced everything from leading the University of Northern Iowa Women's basketball team, being named First Team All-Conference and First Team All-Academic in the same season, to tearing her ACL during the next. This changed Jen's plans for her upcoming season.
Optimistic about her upcoming season, after two honorable awards her Redshirt sophomore year, Jen was excited to get the ball rolling again. The 2014-2015 season was underway when Creighton University came to the McLeod Center, home of the UNI Panthers, to play a non-conference game early in the season.
Ten minutes into the first half, the ball was passed to the player Jennifer was guarding. Thinking she was going to put up a shot, Jennifer hurried to close out. At the last minute, the Creighton player decided to drive the ball left instead, causing Jennifer to shift her body at the last second.
This instinctual movement proved to be devastating for Jennifer. She immediately collapsed, overtaken by pain. She was quickly shuffled away by the athletic trainer and team doctor to the training room. Shortly after beginning the tests to her knee, they knew that Jennifer had torn her ACL.
3 Steps After Tearing Your ACL: What Happens Next?
Prehab
Prehab refers to exercises prior to an event or surgery to strengthen the surrounding muscles. When you get surgery, your muscles atrophy very quickly; prehab helps to slow this process down.
The ACL reconstruction surgery is very simple. Typically, your doctor will use arthroscopic surgery on your ACL. This means they will insert tiny tools and a camera through small cuts around your knee. This is a good method because it allows for less scarring than an open-knee surgery.
Your doctor will remove the torn ligament from your knee, replacing it with new tissue. This is so your knee will become stable again and have the full range of motion that you had before you got hurt.
The Weeks Following Surgery
Light exercises are encouraged to start right away after surgery. According to Hannah Hutcheson, a certified Athletic Trainer and recent graduate of UNI, quad sets are the most common exercise that patients start with. This is done by sitting down with your legs extended and contracting your quads, holding it, and then relaxing again.
1-2 Weeks After ACL Surgery
The first 1-2 weeks, you will be on crutches, until you are comfortable walking without them. During weeks 1-3, you will be focused on decreasing the swelling and increasing knee extension. A large part of this will be Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (RICE).
Week 2-6 will have an emphasis on strengthening and stability. Now, the exercises will help to re-educate your muscles. During this time, a lot of the exercises will be done in the water. Jennifer Keitel shared her experience with the 'Hydroworx' machine that UNI's athletic department uses.
The Hydroworx machine looks like your average, small-sized pool. At the bottom, there is a treadmill that allows athletes or patients recovering from an injury to exercise without putting weight on their injured ligaments or joints. The water is kept at approximately 94 degrees Fahrenheit in order to keep muscles, joints, and ligaments loose.
More Than 6 Weeks After ACL Surgery
You will be able to start more challenging exercises including balance and proprioception exercises during weeks 6-12. You can also start swimming, cycling, and jogging at this point.
3-6 Months After ACL Surgery
During the 3-6 month phase, the emphasis should be placed on sports. You will do high-level sport specific rehab exercises and activities during this time. After this, during the 6-9 month phase, you should be able to return to contact sports. Most athletes will wear a supportive brace to help keep their knee stable.
Advice From Former Collegiate Athlete and Athletic Trainer on ACL Tear
Jennifer and Hannah both offer the same piece of advice: DO YOUR STRETCHES AND EXERCISES. It is a long process, but small gains are huge in the long run. Hannah says, "If you want to be healed around the 6-9 month mark, follow the protocol the professionals give you. Don't be discouraged if you have setbacks or aren't recovering as fast as your buddy did when he had ACL surgery. Everyone and every situation are slightly different." The exercises and stretching may seem pointless at the moment, but over time those movements are the one thing that will help your knee return to how it was before.
Jennifer advises, "Focus on the process because it is a long one and there are going to be good days and bad days where you feel frustrated. If you have an athletic trainer working with you, thank them, because it is not just you going through the process, but them as well. They are there helping you from the time you get injured to the time you are cleared; they are just as invested!" After a long recovery process, Jennifer finally returned to normal and was on the court once more.

Dropped Call: Studies Refute Contention That Cell Phones Cause Cancer
Because the long-term health effects of cell phone usage have yet to be discerned, a study is being carried out to track 250,000 users over three decades
Dear EarthTalk: What's the latest research on the question of whether cell phone use causes cancer?—William Thigpen, via e-mail
Cell phones have only been in widespread use for a couple of decades, which is far too short a time for us to know conclusively whether or not using them could cause cancer. Research thus far appears to indicate that most of us have little if anything to worry about.
According to the federally funded National Cancer Institute, the low-frequency electromagnetic radiation that cell phones give off when we hold them up to our heads is "non-ionizing," meaning it cannot cause significant human tissue heating or body temperature increases that could lead to direct damage to cellular DNA. By contrast, X-rays consist of high-frequency ionizing electromagnetic radiation and can lead to the kind of cellular damage resulting in cancer. Nonetheless, some cell phone users and researchers still worry about our cell phone usage, given how much we now use them and how little we know about their potential long-term effects.
The reason the issue keeps coming up is that some initial studies in Europe, where cell phone usage caught on a decade before the U.S., showed links between some forms of tumors and heavy cell phone usage. As a result, researchers teamed up to do a more definitive study, called the "Interphone" study, across 13 countries between 2000 and 2004. The results, published in May 2010 in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Epidemiology, indicated no increased risk of developing two of the most common types of brain tumors, glioma and meningioma, from typical everyday cell phone usage. Study participants who reported spending the most time on their phones showed a slightly increased risk of developing gliomas, but researchers considered this finding inconclusive due to factors such as recall bias, whereby participants with brain tumors may have simply remembered past cell phone use differently from healthy respondents.
Researchers looking to get past the relatively short timing window and the recall bias issues of the Interphone study recently launched a longer term study, dubbed COSMOS (short for Cohort Study on Mobile Communications), in Europe. Some 250,000 cell phone users between the ages of 18 and 69 and located in Britain, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark will participate by allowing researchers to track their cell phone usage and health over three decades. According to an April 22, 2010 article in Reuters, the study will factor in the use of hands-free devices and how people carry their phones and will also be on the lookout for links to neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
There are some precautions you can take to minimize whatever risk may exist. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) suggests reserving the use of cell phones for shorter conversations, or for times when a conventional phone isn't available. Also, using a hands-free device places more distance between the phone and your head, significantly reducing the amount of radiation exposure. If the fact that many states require hands-free devices for using a cell phone while driving isn't enough to make you go out and spend the extra money on such an accessory, maybe the cancer risk, perceived or real, will.

Q: fullPage.js loading issue caused by calling I'd like to use fullPage.js ( by https://github.com/alvarotrigo/fullPage.js ) inside a div in another directory of my site, but I don't understand where's the issue and How to solve. I've broken my mind over the net with any result :(
Test site: http://simonenicosia.com/fullPage/
I guess the problem is I'm calling an html to another dir ( /projects/timeline.html ) to load content and it doesn't activate:
$('#fullpage').fullpage({
        sectionsColor: ['#1bbc9b', '#4BBFC3', '#7BAABE', 'whitesmoke', '#ccddff'],

      });

Click on the following image to activate the script there:

A: You are not showing us enough code so we can only guess.
The problem is not in the initialization but on when you call the initialization.
If I click on the image (so the #fullpage div is added) and then in the JS console I add $('#fullpage').fullpage()  to initialize fullpage.js, it will work as expected.
So one thing is clear. The problem is when you initialize it.

The Youngstown State volleyball team will welcome three teams to Beeghly Center this weekend as it hosts the YSU Invitational. The Penguins will play Friday matches at 11 a.m. against Saint Francis U (Pa.) and at 7 p.m. against Tulane, and YSU will take on Toledo in the final match of the invitational on Saturday at 1 p.m. Also on the slate are Friday matches Tulane versus Toledo at 1 p.m. and Toledo versus Saint Francis at 5 p.m. Saint Francis and Tulane will also play Saturday at 11 a.m. Live stats for all six matches will be available on YSUsports.com, and live video for each of YSU's matches will be streamed on the Horizon League Network.
The Penguins went 2-1 in three matches at the Coastal Carolina Invitational with each match being decided in five sets. YSU beat the host Chanticleers in the first match of the tournament 25-20, 23-25, 20-25, 25-21, 16-14 behind 15 kills apiece from Alexis Egler and Aly Ryan and nine blocks from Jenna Cavanaugh. The Penguins led Iowa 2-1 before dropping the final two sets in a 20-25, 25-16, 23-25, 25-18, 15-11 setback. Missy Hundelt had a career-high 30 digs in that match while adding 18 kills. Less than an hour later, YSU dug itself a 2-0 hole against Wofford before rallying for a 15-25, 18-25, 25-21, 25-16, 15-13 victory. Egler led the team with 16 kills while hitting an efficient .378, and Nichele Johnson had seven blocks.
Missy Hundelt needs 39 kills to become the 11th Penguin in school history to reach 1,000.
The Penguins last hosted a non-conference tournament in 2010. YSU was 1-2 that weekend, opening with a 3-1 win over Howard and dropping matches to Niagara and Central Michigan. Missy Hundelt was YSU's representative on the all-tournament team.
YSU went 2-1 at the Coastal Carolina Invitational last weekend and had a 2-1 lead on Iowa before losing. Had the Penguins held on, it would have given them their first win over a Big Ten team in school history.
The two wins already represent the season total that the Penguins had in 2010, the freshman year for YSU's senior class.
The Penguins are 2-1 for the first time since starting 5-0 in 2007.
Before coming back from a 2-0 deficit against Wofford on Saturday, the Penguins hadn't won a match in which they dropped the first two sets since Sept. 16, 2005. Conversely, they'd lost six matches in that time frame when they led 2-0.
Missy Hundelt's 30 digs against Iowa were not only the most of her career, they were the most by a Penguin since Karla Everhart had 34 on Sept. 29, 2007, at Green Bay. Hundelt is only the third YSU player to post 30 digs in a match since rally scoring started in 2001. Hundelt's previous high for digs was 21 against UNC Wilmington on Sept. 15, 2012.
Alexis Egler surpassed 500 career digs last weekend against Iowa. She currently has 511 in her career.
Chelsea Guerrieri surpassed 100 career digs against Iowa.
Erika West reached 750 career digs in the Iowa match.
Hundelt's five service aces tied for the eighth-most for a single match since rally scoring began in 2001.
Missy Hundelt needs 39 kills to reach 1,000 for her career.
Jenna Cavanaugh needs five kills to reach 300 for her career. More impressively, she's just 15 blocks from 250. Currently, only 11 players in school history have reached 250 in their careers.
Alexis Egler is 13 kills away from 500.
Aly Ryan needs seven blocks to reach 100 for her career. She's played in just 32 matches and is averaging 0.87 blocks per set over her career.
Youngstown State senior outside hitter Missy Hundelt has 961 kills in her career, needing just 39 to become the 11th Penguin in school history to reach 1,000. Hundelt would become the first Penguin to surpass 1,000 since Ruth Boscaljon in 2008. Hundelt currently ranks 12th in school history in career kills, trailing Ebony Barbosa's total of 985 by 24. The senior also ranks sixth in school history with an average of 3.12 kills per set. Hundelt also has 794 digs in her career. Only four players in school history have surpassed 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs.
Saint Francis went 0-4 last weekend at the Virginia Tech Hokie Invitational, losing in straight sets to Michigan State, Pacific, Virginia Tech and Towson. The Red Flash were held to a combined hitting percentage of negative .019 and allowed 2.3 aces per set. Sophomore outside hitter Hannah Kutny averaged a team-high 2.27 kills per set, and freshman middle blocker Sophie Murdock averaged 0.67 blocks. The Red Flash were picked to finish in a tie for fifth in the Northeast Conference preseason poll. Last season Saint Francis U ranked third in the country with 1.82 aces per set and finished with a 14-16 record. The Penguins are 28-3 all-time against the Red Flash, but Saint Francis U has won two of the last four contests dating back to 2005.
Tulane went 3-0 at its own tournament – the Kathy Trosclair Memorial - last weekend and added a four-set victory at Southeastern Louisiana on Tuesday for a 4-0 start. The Green Wave has won four straight matches for the first time since 2009 and is 4-0 for the first time since 2007. Tulane has eight newcomers on its team, and they've been big contributors. Freshman outside hitter Annie Shurtz is averaging 3.67 kills per set on a .366 clip, and fellow freshman Sarah Strasner has 25 kills while hitting a very impressive .605. Tulane has a team attack percentage of .280 and is averaging nearly five kills more per set than its opponents. The Green Wave was 6-21 last season and was picked to finish 10th in the Conference USA preseason poll. YSU has never played Tulane in volleyball.
Toledo split its four matches last weekend at its Blue/Gold Invitational, beating Loyola and Eastern Illinois and falling to Marist and West Virginia. Senior outside hitter Lauren Rafdal is averaging 3.94 kills on a .279 attack percentage, and senior middle blocker Dakota Harkins is averaging 1.07 blocks per set. The Rockets were 8-21 last season and were picked to finish sixth in the MAC West division. The Penguins are 3-16 all-time against Toledo with the last win coming in the last meeting between the teams in 2008.
Youngstown State is coming off its best season in 13 years, and the Penguins' seven seniors are looking to raise the bar with almost everyone returning from last season. More than 96 percent of the team's kills and blocks return from last season, and 91 percent of the digs return. There are four players who are gone from last year - a middle blocker who played in 21 sets, a defensive specialist who appeared in four sets, a backup setter who played in five sets and a setter who played in 97 sets as part of the 6-2 offense. Among Horizon League teams, YSU returns the highest percentage of kills, blocks and digs from last year's squad. The Penguins return the second-lowest percentage of assists.
Youngstown State has a Horizon League-leading seven seniors on its roster for the 2013 season. Valparaiso has five seniors and two redshirt juniors, and Green Bay has five seniors. Cleveland State has three seniors on its roster, and Oakland, UIC and Wright State have two apiece. Milwaukee has just one senior on its roster. Bowling Green is the only other Division I team in Ohio to have seven seniors. No other school in the Buckeye state has more than five seniors.
Youngstown State will be trying to put together an impressive non-conference record for the second year in a row. Youngstown State was 10-4 and won eight straight matches at one point during non-conference play last season. The 10 non-conference wins last season were the most since 1999, and the Penguins used that to springboard into a 15-14 mark for the season, which was their best record in 13 years.
Youngstown State was among the most-improved teams in the country last season, its first under head coach Mark Hardaway. The Penguins' 10-win improvement - going from five to 15 - tied for the 10th-best mark in the country. Further, their 99-spot improvement in the RPI was 15th-best in the country.
Youngstown State seniors Jenna Cavanaugh and Missy Hundelt both earned preseason honors by the Horizon League Coaches in their preseason poll. Cavanaugh was voted the league's preseason defensive player of the year after leading the conference in blocks in 2012. Hundelt was picked to repeat as a member of the all-league team.
Even with the significant amount of experience returning for the Penguins in 2013, Youngstown State was picked to finish seventh by the Horizon League coaches in their preseason poll. YSU finished sixth last season with a 5-9 mark in conference play and earned the final spot in the conference tournament. YSU received 20 points in the poll, just five behind league newcomer Oakland.
Head coach Mark Hardaway would prefer to run a 6-2 offense with the Penguins' roster composition, but YSU will have to go with Casey D'Ambrose as the lone setter for at least a couple weeks. Jessie Gerig is the only other setter on the roster, and she was out the entire preseason and the first week with a wrist injury. The Penguins employed two setters in their offense at some point in 28 of their 29 matches last season. The only exception was the season opener.
The Youngstown State volleyball team will play Arizona State at the University of Illinois on Thursday before playing three matches at the Saint Louis Billiken Classic next weekend. It will be a homecoming for Penguins senior Missy Hundelt, who is a native of St. Louis suburb St. Charles.

I think I may have reached the pinnacle of my baking adventures. Right now, I can't think of anything more magical than this lemon meringue pie. It has the requisite crisp base, zesty set centre, and fluffy - so fluffy! - meringue topping. And it is vegan. I wasn't confident going in, but can now say that meringue without eggs really is possible!
I knew I wanted to make a lemon meringue pie for Vegan MoFo, but this wasn't one of the dishes I prepared ahead of time. In fact, I only made it this week. I was worried it wouldn't work, or that I'd be up all night repeating my efforts if the first pie failed.
In the end, it was oddly easy. I made the meringue topping with egg replacer - a hefty 1/3 cup of it - which was whipped for 5 minutes with water while gradually adding sugar. In other words, it was just like making regular meringue. The same was true for the rest of the pie. There is a lot of sugar and the recipe is a little bit time consuming, but the end result is very much worth it.
For those of you who can remember what we do and don't have in our kitchen, last week I didn't have electric beaters but now I do. This doesn't signal the arrival of our shipment (although it is looking positive for that coming in just over a week). Instead, I remembered that I didn't ship my beaters. I donated them to my sister. Having remembered that, I hastily bought a new set just in time to make this.
It has been a while since I've had lemon meringue pie, but as far as I can recall, this tastes like the non-vegan versions. My 'meringue' component didn't brown on top as egg versions do, and perhaps tasted a little bit different to meringue made with eggs, but you would have to pay a lot of attention to notice. Perhaps the best accolade is that the pie was well received by Mr Bite, who is a big lemon meringue pie fan.
All in all, I am calling this a success and venturing a confident assertion that I'll be making it again.
Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl, and then rub in the non-dairy spread with your fingers. Add a drizzle of water to bring the dough together, if needed. Roll the dough out to 1-2cm (1/2 inch) thick and arrange in the bottom of a pie tin. Put in the fridge while you heat your oven to 200'C (400'F).
When the oven is ready, prick the pastry at the bottom of the pie tin, and then cover the pastry with baking paper. Fill with enough baking beans, nuts or seeds to hold the paper down. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until just firm and golden.
Set aside while you make the lemon filling.
Put all ingredients in a non-stick saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring regularly with a wooden spoon. Once boiling, stir constantly for 4 to 5 minutes, until the mixture is thick and very difficult to stir. Pour into the prepared pie base and allow to cool for at least 2 hours (I left mine to cool for 30 minutes at room temperature and then 1-1/2 hours in the fridge).
Place the egg replacer and water in a clean mixing bowl and stir to combine. Beat with electric mixers for 5 minutes on high speed, adding the sugar gradually as you go. The mixture is ready when it has formed soft peaks and look like meringue. If you have a stand mixer that does the beating for you, this would be a good time to use it!
Spoon meringue over the lemon filling, covering the base, and then add dollops in heaps around the centre of the pie to form discrete peaks.
Let the pie stand for approximately 15 minutes, while you heat your oven to 100'C (210'F). Bake for 30 minutes until the meringue topping is just crisp on the surface.
Best served chilled, although you may not be able to wait for it to fully cool before trying some!
Are you a lemon meringue pie fan? Or do you have much experience with vegan meringue?
This post is part of my participation in the 2014 Vegan Month of Food. This week I have been focusing on dessert options. I'm also sending this recipe to Healthy Vegan Friday.
Ohhh look at that vegan meringue! Lemon meringue pie was one of my favorite desserts as a kid, haven't had it in forever though. I'm not sure how much I trust the American egg replacers, but I'm wondering if I can make up something by looking at the ingredients list of the Orgran egg replacer, because this looks totally amazing.
Wow! Amazing! It's so beautiful too!
oh gosh! So awesome. I actually was in Boston, MA (U.S) last night and bought a slice of vegan lemon meringue pie! It was so good but I was sad that I didn't know how to make it myself...so, perfect coincidental timing!
oooh congratulations, this is fabulous! I haven't had a vegan pie and this was one of my favourite dessert pre-vegan!
Hopefully now you can have it as a favourite again!
Isn't it exciting?! I can't believe it took me so long to summon up the courage to try - I too thought meringue would be impossible.
I hope you enjoy it Kate!
I agree and think that the best judge is a no. 1 fan of a certain pie. I'll take Mr Bite's nod on this and put in my list! Thanks for the share!
One of my favorites before becoming vegan. I'm definitely going to make this. Yum!
I have this recipe bookmarked from Guardian Winess, as well as another blog, but am so happy to see it on your blog, as it has encouraged me to make it much sooner than I had anticipated. Really looks fab, I wonder what my husband will make of the vegan version.
This pie looks fabulous! I love how you turn traditional treats into vegan versions.
Oh yum! I haven't had meringue in ages. Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks Charlie - I was delighted at the meringue height!
I take heart from your comment that it may taste a little different to the meringue made with eggs because I was never a fan of lemon meringue pie but they always look so spectacular that I wish I liked them - this might be my answer. It looks amazing - and I am surprised it didn't brown as I would imagine sugar would be important in the browning.
Perhaps it was just me under-cooking it then! The top did get the slight crunch on top I associate with meringue topping, but I was also surprised at the lack of colour.
Consider my tiny mind blown. I was never a huge fan of lemon meringue in my pregan days, but this looks so fun, I'm massively tempted to try it. Fluffy topping in particular looks beautiful!
I'm the same - lemon meringue pie wasn't my favourite before, but there's something about thinking it impossible to have vegan that increased its appeal!
This looks absolutely amazing! I'll have to hunt down some egg replacer and give it a go.
I hope you enjoy it Imogen!

Most Common Mistakes When Writing a Mission Statement
By: Jason Duop
On: 5 June 2015
Mission statements seem so inherently simple that managers don't put much thought into them. Read: any thought into them. Because there's no way to get a mission statement wrong. Or so they think.
Enter stage left every other mission statement ever written. Demeaning, demotivating, deteriorating, past the stage of defibrillation and ready to be deleted. These mistakes are so common that managers don't realise how much they harm staff motivation.
Here are some of the most common and easily overlooked mistakes in mission statements. However be warned – you might just want to loosen your collar first.
Your Mission Statement is a One Size Fits All
To create a shopping experience that pleases our customers; a workplace that creates opportunities and a great working environment for our associates; and a business that achieves financial success."
– Albertsons
So you've done it. After minutes of thinking about how special your company is or googling good mission statement templates, you have crafted a mission statement that fits your organisation perfectly. Unfortunately it also fits every other organisation under the sun.
Now you might be wondering why this is so bad. I mean, shouldn't a broad mission statement mean it fits the future direction of your organisation? Perhaps – if you want future staff to be as uninspired as they are now.
A good mission statement is unique and distinctive. Just think about how great your organisation is and what they do differently. Think about unique competencies or an interesting organisational history. Now is the time to put on your beanie and begin your "I'm a special snowflake" thinking.
Your Mission Statement Needs a "Read More" Tab
Avon's mission is focused on six core aspirations the company continually strives to achieve… (Continues on for six paragraphs)
-Avon
Your organisation might be the best in history. You might make a billion dollars per day and feed it all back into the community while saving giant pandas from extinction. You might strive to accomplish more than can fit into a concordance. However even this (as impressive as it is) does not give leeway to write a wordy mission statement.
After all it is called a mission statement for a reason. It is supposed to be concise and easily digested. I like to think of it as the back cover of your organisation – a place where stakeholders can get a good grasp of your company without being overwhelmed. Short, sweet and straight to the point.
It is also called a mission statement for another reason: it is to be all mission no data. Tell the world what you aim to achieve but not how you intend to achieve it. It should be broken into two concise categories: the definition of your business and your mission.
Try to keep it within 50 words. A common mistake is starting with "Our mission statement from 2010 onwards is to." No no no! You don't need to give so much context. Just get to the point and free your readers.
Your Mission Statement is a Marketing Pitch
Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices with iPad
– Apple, of course
To a certain extent, a mission statement is promotional. It is to promote the business and general and inspire both customers and employees. But this mission statement stepped it up a notch. This mission statement has been called the worst on the internet. If I could make one small adjustment, this would be it:
It's okay to have passion for your products. If it helps you to fall asleep at night by telling yourself your app store is revolutionary, that is perfectly fine. I'd even recommend saying something along those lines in the product blurb.
But please, please keep it out of the mission statement. Referring to how I defined mission statements, this is not a mission statement at all. It does not tell what you intend to do, why you intend to do it and what your business values are. I'm surprised they didn't just make their statement "iPods 35% buy now"
Your Mission Statement Has an Expiry Date
Exxon Mobil Corporation is committed to being the world's premier petroleum and petrochemical company. To that end, we must continuously achieve superior financial and operating results while adhering to the highest standards of business conduct.
-Exxon Mobil
Your mission statement might be nice and snug for your current business. But keep in mind your business is likely to evolve and adapt. By starting with a strong and future proof mission statement, you can avoid the fuss of sprucing up your mission statement at least every few years.
The best way to do with? Refer to the industry as opposed to individual products. Take for example Roger Ramsey, Waikato renovations servicer. A poor mission statement would be "We specialise in renovating small town properties with a specialisation in installing granite counters." This statement is too specific and relates to current fads.
A better mission statement would not reference current customers, trends or specific operations.
Is your mission statement in need of a good shake up? Comment below any tips you have to writing a perfect mission statement.

So maybe what I'm getting at here is that I'm craving more time in my day?! Or maybe a better schedule for myself? Sigh, L is three months old, and I'm still trying to figure out life with 3 kids. It's fun, tiring, awesome, crazy, and challenging (in a good way!)!
Listening: I love listening to the Rosary on the (free!) Relevant Radio app. Recently, a friend mentioned how great it was, so I downloaded it right away. She was right! They have 2 versions - one that is 16 minutes and one that is 28. No more excuses as to why I can't say it when it only takes 16 minutes!
Grilling: Looks like B is grilling just about everything...including the condiments! Other than when we're playing pretend, we've just been enjoying good ol' hamburgers, hot dogs, and steaks this summer. It sure hits the spot!
We're so happy that we can finally have L baptized now that the adoption has been finalized. Welcome to the Catholic Faith, L!
Follow Sweet Little Ones's board Birthday Ideas for Little Girls on Pinterest.
I've been working on some summer home decor with hydrangeas that I got on clearance after Easter!
So what have you all been up to so far this summer? What have you been craving, listening to, grilling, planning, and decorating? I love getting to see what everyone has been up to lately in the Currently link ups with Anne, Jenna, and Becky!
What fun pictures, Jess. I'm definitely slow at decorating too . . . unless tacking up the kids' art work counts!
HAHA Love that little grill. What a sweet picture. And I'm so glad you wrote what you did about decorating - I am the same way. We have almost zero pictures on the wall because I just can't decide what to do.... but party planning is always a fun booster!!
We have lived in our house for 12 years....I'm still not done! It seems never ending and just when I think it is almost completed it's time for something else. Have a super 4th!
So much to celebrate this month!! Yay!
B at his little grill is adorable! We're the same way with decorating, if no ones going to see my house, I tend to care less. I'm sure I should be making my house nice for ME, so its a place of calm or something but lets get real!
I've got to get on the bandwagon with these Currently posts - I love them!!! Thanks for sharing at Waiting on...Wednesday! Hope to see you back tomorrow!
How cute is your son with his grill!! Congrats on your little one's birthday and baptism! What a busy month of partying you have ahead of you!
Love the hydrangeas, can't wait to see what you do with them!!

2018 SL UG updates #16/2: Content Creator User Group
Posted on April 20, 2018 September 22, 2018 by Inara Pey
A rally of (Animesh) raptors on Aditi
The following notes are taken from the Content Creation User Group (CCUG) meeting, held on Thursday, April 19th, 2018 at 13:00 SLT. The meeting is chaired by Vir Linden, and agenda notes, etc, are usually available on the Content Creation User Group wiki page.
Medhue Simoni Live streamed the meeting, and his video is embedded at the end of this summary. My thanks to him for providing it. Time stamps are included in the text below to allow easy referencing to the video for details.
Initially, the meeting opened on Aditi at the Animesh test regions.however, Voice issues across the beta grid regions resulted in the meeting decamping to the TPVD amphitheatre on Agni, and these notes reflect the meeting from that point onwards, starting at the 7 minutes 19 seconds point in the video.
Animesh Project
The goal of this project is to provide a means of animating rigged mesh objects using the avatar skeleton, in whole or in part, to provide things like independently moveable pets / creatures, and animated scenery features via scripted animation. It involves both viewer and server-side changes.
Project Viewer
The project viewer with the updated Animesh land impact / tri count formula was released on Monday, April 16th. Version 5.1.4.514468 also brings the viewer to parity with the current release viewer.
Vir's provides a detailed explanation in the Animesh updated limits and cost formulas forum thread, However, in summary:
Animesh attachment limit = 1: only one Animesh object can be attached to an avatar at a time. This is unchanged from the original estimates.
Triangle Count Limit = 100,000: an animesh object (linkset) can have at most 100k triangles, where the count is based on the estimated size of the largest LOD (normally this is the high LOD). This includes all mesh triangles, static or rigged.
Land Impact: streaming cost = 15.0 + 1.5 * ktris + cost of non rigged prims: for a rigged mesh prim in an animesh linkset, the streaming cost will be 0.0015 * effective_tri_count – that is, 1.5 per thousand triangles. The value for effective_tri_count is derived from the estimated triangle count of the various LODs in the prim as follows:
High LOD: all of the estimated triangle count included in the effective_tri_count.
Medium LOD, Low LOD and Lowest LOD: the allowed number of triangles can be up to ½ of the LOD above, or 64, whichever is larger (i.e. Medium can be up to ½ of High, or 64, whichever is larger). If there are more triangles than this limit, that excess will be added to the effective_tri_count.
These values are also reflected in ARC (avatar rendering cost) calculations for Animesh items.
[7:23-8:43] The viewer also incorporates a change where it will automatically switch to skeleton based rendering for Animesh as soon as it detects the use of an avatar skeleton in an object, rather than waiting until an animation starts playing on an Animesh object in order to make the switch. It is hoped this will avoid issues between an Animesh object's static and animated states, which can cause visual glitches when the animation based switch is made. It should also avoid potential exploits with people using multiple Animesh objects without necessarily animating them.
[9:13-9:32] It is believed the majority of bugs for Animesh are now in hand, however if any finds specific issues with the new impact calculations or with the latest project viewer in general, they are asked to file a JIRA bug report.
Rigged Mesh Level of Detail / Bounding Box Issues
Beq Janus has reported on issues with rigged mesh LOD issues related to the avatar bounding box. Essentially, attachments on avatars swap their LOD models as if they were scaled to the overall avatar Bounding Box. Some creators, deliberately or otherwise, force the bounding box to be far larger than is required, which then creates problems
For example, if an avatar bounding box is forced to 15 metres on a side, any rigged object worn by that avatar will swap LODs as if it were 15 metres in size, no matter how small, forcing viewers around it to use its highest LOD model unnecessarily (see BUG-214736 for more).
[8:44-9:12] Graham Linden has been investigating these, as has some proposed changes which he and Vir hope to implement in the near future, the implication being these will be folded into the Animesh viewer.
Environment Enhancement Project (EEP)
A set of environmental enhancements, including:
The ability to define the environment (sky, sun, moon, clouds, water settings) at the parcel level.
New environment asset types (Sky, Water, Days – the latter comprising multiple Sky and Water) that can be stored in inventory and traded through the Marketplace / exchanged with others.
Experience-based environment functions
An extended day cycle (e.g a 24/7 cycle) and extended environmental parameters.
This work involves simulator and viewer changes, and includes some infrastructure updates.
[10:35-11:05] Rider Linden has been involved in dealing with other issues, which have delayed progress on EEP. He hopes that with this worked cleared, he'll be able to focus on getting the viewer updates out in a project viewer.
Extending the current avatar baking service to allow wearable textures (skins, tattoos, clothing) to be applied directly to mesh bodies as well as system avatars. This involves server-side changes, including updating the baking service to support 1024×1024 textures, and may in time lead to a reduction in the complexity of mesh avatar bodies and heads.
This work does not include normal or specular map support, as these are not part of the existing baking service.

New Bake Service Slots
[11:30-12:25] Anchor Linden is working on adding three new texture slots to the Bake Service, these being skirt tattoo, hair tattoo and eyes tattoo. These updates should hopefully be incorporated in the next viewer update. The idea is to allow tattoos for any component of the system avatar and have them reflected on mesh faces, making the Bake Service more flexible for use with mesh.
Bakes on Mesh and the Applier Market
[12:38-24:32] There have been a number of requests for API to be provided in support of Bakes on Mesh. Mostly, these are considered by the Lab as items to be considered as a part of any follow-on project which may arise after the current Bakes on Mesh work.
However, it has been pointed out that providing an API to allow scripted insertion of textures into the bake stack so that people don't have to use the system layers could offer a four-fold benefit for creators in the applier market:
It offers back compatibility for a huge range of existing applier based skin and clothing options (many of which have specific adjustments to match the UVs of the body to which they are being applied, which cannot be mirrored using the generic SL avatar UV)
It offers a continued ease of use to consumers: they don't necessarily have to pour through folders and folders of layer items to achieve a look.Or even learn what system layers actually are, given many may never have had cause to use system wearables due to the preponderance or mesh applier systems and the widespread use of mesh bodies, etc.
It potentially allows broader use of the Bake Service to achieve effects offer far greater us of the Bake Service to achieve additional effects.
It could serve to speed the adoption of Bakes on Mesh over continued use of applier systems.
A feature request covering some of these ideas has previously been raised (BUG-214631). However, Vir and Alexa Linden has requested a specific Feature Request on this one issue is raised and filed so that the Lab can consider it in more detail.
[24:33-30:56] The two-step approach to SL projects: Vir reiterates that the approach taken with Bakes on Mesh (like the majority of user-facing current projects) is to offer a minimum set of features to launch a new capability, then see how it is used and iterate from there. This means the initial work is simply a means to leverage the Bake Service without necessarily needing to make extensive changes to the service itself – something any provision of APIs would require.
The concern here is that such a two-step approach will not work in this case, because some body / head creators are already looking at Bakes on Mesh as a means to reduce the complexity ("onion layers") in their products (a stated hoped-for result for Bakes on Mesh).
However, doing so could cause widespread disruption in at least two ways:
It would result in "breaking" existing applier systems, requiring applier based clothing makers to re-work their entire back catalogue of products and present them to users in a less easy-to-use form (in a reverse of benefits 1 and 2 above).
It could cause consumers to resist updating their mesh heads and bodies to newer, less complex versions in favour of retaining the ease-of-use presented by their current body versions and existing applier systems.
Even mesh body head creators who may opt to try to offer some form of "transitional period" with two products – a "current" range of bodies / heads that work with applier systems, and an "Bakes on Mesh" version – are faced with uncertainty as the two-step approach doesn't really offer any clarity as to future direction and time frames for enhancing Bakes on Mesh.
[44:30-50:30] The two-step approach to releasing Bakes on Mesh is returned to, and Vir takes a straw man poll on whether Bakes on Mesh should go this route, or go more like Bento, with a longer gestation period (Bento was around 18 months) to allow a more rounded feature set to be supplied. The majority of the feedback indicated people would rather it have a longer gestation period and be released later, possibly with a more rounded feature set, possibly with the script API support. Obviously, as a straw poll, the feedback doesn't mean the project time frame will be re-evaluated, but it did offer useful feedback for the Lab.
[31:00-35:50] Ensuring persistence: Vir points out that a major problem in supplying any form of API for texture insertion into the Bake Service is that of persistence.Currently, the Bake Service retains no information relating to system layers (which items are worn, the order in which they are worn, etc.), once the current combination has been replaced / changed (or beyond the current log-in session; the information is held solely within the avatar inventory, and recalled at log-in.
Applier systems, however, send the UUID for a texture to be applied directly to the corresponding mesh ("onion") layer of the body / head that is to wear it. Thus, if these textures are to be arbitrarily injected into the bake stack by means of a script, the issue is where should the information relating to these textures (what they are, where they sits in the stack of wearable layers, etc.) actually stored? The Bake Service has no means of either storing it, or directly sending the information to the mesh layer where it can be stored.
Bakes on Mesh: Mesh Conflicts and Resolution
[36:39-44:30] Even with the additional Bake Service slots Anchor linden is implementing (above), mesh bodies are broken up into more parts than can be supported by the Bake Service slots (they have separate hands, feet and hair, two arms (as opposed to on arm being mirrored as part of the Bake Service upper body slot). This can potentially lead to conflicts in where and how system layers are applied.
Cathy Foil has proposed the introduction of new Bake Service slot / wearable: BAKE_AUX, which could be used to apply additional wearables to a mesh face using that slot / channel – with the added flexibility that each face assigned to BAKE_AUX could utilise a different wearable. The would require changes to both the Bake Service and the viewer Appearance Editor (to offer a tattoo layer input field where the textures for the BAKE_AUX wearable (see BUG-216084 for more).
The Lab's concern is that providing BAKE_AUX presents a "blank cheque" for abuse. As up to 60 wearables can be worn at a time, it might allow someone to present the Baking Service with an additional 60 tattoo layers which have to be composited, on top of the six existing bake slots, significantly impacting Bake performance. However, there are potential benefits to this approach as Cathy notes in the JIRA. It is also one of two ideas for additional slots that has been proposed, and is potentially the more flexible, as such the Lab has accepted the JIRA to give it further consideration.

Random People's Porn Star Cover Letters Are Perfect On Stock Images
By Alec MacDonald
I've always wondered how people get into the porn industry.
I kind of just assumed if you have what it takes -- I think the technical term is "a horse penis" -- then they send you a letter like the one Harry Potter got from Hogwarts.
The reality is it's just like getting any other Muggle job: You have to put yourself out there, send emails, subject yourself to humiliation and most of all, you have to be OK with doing it for free for a while.
But, some folks out there want to join the business and get paid for it.
In fact, RedTube, a porn streaming site, receives thousands of emails from people from all over the world asking for jobs in the stimulating field.
Despite the fact that RedTube doesn't actually make porn and, therefore, can't give any of these "guys with dicks" jobs, the site compiled many of these amazing cover letters on Tumblr, plastering them over stock photographs for added effect.
First of all, you need a porn name. I suggest "The Royal Baby-Maker."
Second step: Make business cards. I hear MOO's templates are really great.
I. Use. Big. Peepee. For. Good. Cause.
I'd like to think "Old Age Stay Home" is actually a militant organization hell-bent on keeping old people indoors.
This one reads like a disturbing children's book.
"I Think I Can Do This," an illustrated tale by Eddie McMuffdiver.
This fella is up for anything, including all those very sexy "dog hourse" videos people have been raving about.
I feel like there are other animals you would have sex with before you got to donkeys. You know, sheep and stuff. I dunno, I could be wrong.
Most of these people barely speak English...
OK, let's all start spelling it "pinis."
...so they let their penises do the talking.
Women's wear is on the second floor, next to the lawn equipment.
Yes, please send him everything he needs to know about porn. Everything. Do not leave anything out. He will know if you do.
I wish I could actually send people emails like this.
Your dear friend came to the conclusion he would like to now be in sex videos.
But he's only willing to work part-time. He's gotta get back to his dream of opening a yoga studio for the deaf.
I'm very unsettled by your need to make the distinction between woman and girl.
Oh, you're not in the US? That's totally fine. What's your address? We'll fax you a woman or girl immediately.
You had me at "hello."
But then you lost me with, "I want to have sex with all woman."
Please note the Important Capitalized Letters.
"Eating a cum" sounds hard, but really, all you need is a freezer and some ice trays and voilà!
Yeah, I bet you aren't as "active and strong" as you claim.
Question: How many cums can YOU eat?
And finally, there's this very straightforward gentleman.
I am 100 percent positive this guy is German. I can't explain it, but there is no way this penis-haver is not German.

The Best Rappers in the 90's
Kayvon Mosby, Contributor
As some of you might be known the 90s was a huge decade for hip hop. It was regarded as the "Golden Age" of hip hop/rap. Of what started in the 80s and strived from thereon. Here are some of the most popular rappers some of you remember.
Tupac Shakur: Human activist who likes to keep it real.
The Notorious B.I.G: Regarded as a pimp, he was very influential as his songs were always on Billboard.
Snoop Dogg: With his career starting to take off, he was very different refers to himself as the "tog dog" in hip hop.
Bone Thugs N Harmony: With having both the ability to rhyme very fast and to harmonize and sing was something we never hear. First to record with Eazy-E, Biggie, and Tupac before their deaths. (Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, Flesh, and Wish Bone)
Twista: Rapid fast lyrics and speed. Originally labeled as the fastest rapper in Genis World Records.
Dr. Dre: Left N.W.A to pursue a solo career, he definitely named a name for himself.
Wu-Tang Clan: RZA, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God and Masta Killa were definitely known for their top song CREAM.
Mary J. Blige: Very influential and very successful female rapper/dancer.
OutKast: The rap duo who have opposite personalities, Andre 3000 and Big Boi have the same goal to make music.
All of them are regarded as classics and completely original. Each of them with their own style and rhythms with their songs. Hip Hop wouldn't be the way that it is without any of these articles.

Just a few years back, experts recommended you shared hosting for your small business. Shared hosting was the perfect solution at that time because of the resources that you were given access to and the affordability factor. However, when you grow as a business, it does not mean you instantly fit to go for a managed or dedicated server hosting plan. These are expensive forms of hosting and suit enterprises the most. That's where managed VPS hosting solves the big problem. It is a route between shared and dedicated hosting. It is perfect for small, midsized, and even some large businesses.
Let's take a look at the main reasons why so many new businesses want to go with managed VPS hosting.
With shared hosting, you don't have access to ample resources. You are sharing the server resources with many other websites and so you can't place your separate demands. On the other hand, when you go for VPS hosting, you have a virtual machine dedicated to your website. You can decide how much RAM, storage, and other resources you want for your website. Once you have placed your requirement, you get access to the exact server. There is no other website on the server that can share your resources with you. It is like your own dedicated server. The only thing is that it is a virtual one.
You have a lot of control on your virtual private server. When it comes to managed VPS, you are giving the maintenance, upgradation, etc. tasks to the VPS service provider. However, you still have root access to your server. You can control just about anything on your server. You can decide which operating system you want on your server or what applications you want to run. You can in fact turn off and turn on your virtual server at any time you want. It will not affect the performance of other virtual machines on the main server. You could not have done that with conventional shared hosting plans.
In the past, the next step to shared hosting was usually dedicated server hosting. In this type of hosting, you had to choose a server and its specifications, and then have it rest on the shelves of the dedicated server provider. It was more like renting space in someone's datacenter. However, this type of hosting was considered the most expensive type of web hosting. On the other hand, virtual private servers are considered one of the most affordable options, especially when you look at the value they offer you and your business.
Now that you know the reasons why so many businesses are choosing VPS hosting over other forms of hosting, you can consider it as an option for your website as well. Look for the only the best North American managed VPS hosting providers if you want top notch hosting services as well as reliable customer support.


I like watching the waves and this is part of a series of beaches in the Illawarra, painted for an exhibition that is happening on the 9th and 10th November 2013, with the Illawarra Arts Society.
I'm looking forward to it again. This is painted on 18" x 24 " gallery canvas.
Good one Pamela. I think you have really captured the froth & bubble of the surf.
Hope it does well in the show.
Great sense of lovely big waves rolling on in! I can almost hear the sound of the surf crashing in on the beach.
Have you thought of trying a similar painting with surfers?
Good luck with the exhibition ... are you hoping to sell it?


My thoughts go back to Greece today. To Greece indeed, but actually it's the leaders I'm thinking of. Not just political leaders but business leaders.. And that's because I want to separate in my mind irresponsible people from irresponsible actions.
The truth of the matter is that even if Greece had implemented all the reforms imposed by Europe, it would have gone belly-up anyway. It is a cert, if you analyse the coverage of the crisis carefully. Had it given in and accepted the reforms, the EU would have won and no one would have tried to get ideas about rescuing the economy by improving its competitiveness while weakening its currency (which at that point would not have been the euro). And if some of that debt would have been forgiven in the process, hallelujah! It's precisely such ideas that are incubating in Spain, Portugal and Italy. End of decades of European stability, and of peace in Europe. The Greek government took a big gamble.
But there is the other side of the coin: the Greek government is probably the first government in Europe, if not in the world, to have taken its voters seriously. It came into office saying No to the reforms imposed by Europe and kept its word. With its back against the wall, when it was clear that Europe would not back down, the government called a referendum. The nation spoke and backed the government all the way. The move would have the effect of lifting the responsibility off premier Tsipras's shoulders if by failing the negotiations Greece were worse off than as a result of the widely anticipated cost of the reforms. Tsipras would always be able to say then: I have fulfilled my mandate. Earlier on Tsipras had had much of the responsibility taken off him by members of the Eurogroup – who refused financial help until the referendum took place.
What is the responsible thing to do when faced with the uncertainty of the consequences of one's actions? What is responsible and what is not? Putting aside all the economic and social aspects of the Greek crisis, we – business leaders – are about to find out from this salutary lesson in history.

Formula One: Kobayashi cleared over Aussie crash

MELBOURNE (AFP) - Japan's Kamui Kobayashi was cleared of any blame over a first-lap crash at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday after an investigation discovered a brake failure.
The Japanese, in his first race for Caterham, ploughed into the back of Felipe Massa's Williams at turn one in an incident which ended the season-opening grand prix for both drivers.
Massa later called for Kobayashi to be given a one-race ban over the crash, the same punishment handed to Lotus's Romain Grosjean after a similar incident at Belgium in 2012.
But after reviewing technical data, stewards found the crash was caused by a "serious technical failure completely outside the control of the driver".
Kobayashi had initially accepted blame, but after the investigation he said: "That isn't how I wanted my first race back to go, and I'm sorry for the team and for Felipe that both our races ended early.
"From the initial data it looked like I had a brake system issue which obviously meant I couldn't do much about the contact and when we got the car back and looked at the information in much more detail it was clear that was the problem.
"After the race I went to the stewards and they went through the data from the car and confirmed this was the case. We'll have a close look at what caused that problem and make sure we fix it."

Watching Women Watching TV: Lessons From The Field
This is a presentation given by Samia Rahim at the Cultural Crossroads Conference held in Hong Kong on 20 June 2010 on research conducted into how women in Bangladesh interacted with television and the media. The research countered dominant discourse which devalues women's relationship with television and in using a wide range of methodologies across a range of research locations uncovered that women do not only use television to accumulate new knowledge, but also strategies, tactics and ways to handle various situations. …
What Does It Mean To Be A Feminist Within A Global Policy Institution? Challenges Of Identities, Alliances And Accountabilities
Since February 2007, a small group of feminist activists working from inside the head offices of international development organisations (bilateral, multilateral and INGO) have been participants in a project to explore how they can encourage their organisations to be pathways of women's empowerment. The project's objective is to encourage greater strategic awareness among the policy activists themselves concerning their room for manoeuvre, and secondly to stimulate discussion among others as to how they could optimally support those working from inside bureaucracies. In this paper, presented to 'Pathways: What are we Learning?' Analysis Conference, Cairo, 20-24 January 2009, I explore the challenges facing these feminist activists in building relations for institutional and policy change for women's rights. Research participants believe that the principal factor in successfully changing institutional arrangements, albeit subversively, is networking and alliances within and between organisations as well as with the wider women's movement. …

Whose Vision, Whose Needs? Appropriation In Nigeria's National Economic Empowerment And Development Strategy (NEEDS)
This paper presented at a conference on 'Reclaiming Feminism: Gender and Neo-liberalism organised by IDS and Birkbeck College from 9-10 July 2007, examines the reform programme of the Obasanjo government (1999-2007), as laid out in the National Economic Empowerment Development Strategy (NEEDS). Initiated halfway through the first term of Obasanjo's tenure, this was the first explicitly articulated 'economic and development agenda' during his administration, as opposed to the characteristic one-off programmes previously developed on an ad hoc basis. Initial expectations of the government's goals and intentions were high, given the long-awaited end of military rule and Obasanjo's status as the first elected civilian head of state for decades since the Second Republic of Shehu Shagari. In this paper, the author reflects on processes that are involved in instrumentalist and opportunistic uses of 'gender' and 'empowerment' by the state, specifically the Olesugun Obasanjo two-term administration of Nigeria (1999 to 2007) and its NEEDS programme. …
Women And Religion In Bangladesh And Pakistan
With growing observance of the veil, a rise in faith-based schooling, and the increasing popularity of Islamic television channels, religious activity has come to play a more and more significant part in the lives of women in South Asia. Pathways' research sought to explore what the changes in the cultural and political landscape signal for women's understanding of self and their ability to live "freely" in the world. Does religion become all encompassing and stifle women's sense of self? Or do women find ways to use new idioms to feel empowered? …
Women And Religion In Bangladesh: New Paths
In south Asia as elsewhere in the world, religion has come to play an increasing role in shaping and reshaping women's lives. This process is a particular challenge to people like Firdous Azim, a feminist who "grew up" intellectually and politically via involvement in the women's movement of the 1980s in Bangladesh. The activism of that period was explicitly secular; its main priorities were the issues of rights, inequalities and violence prevalent in a young state which had achieved independence only in 1971. Firdous Azim is professor in the department of English and the humanities at BRAC University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. …
Women And Rural Trade Unions In North East Brazil
Whilst there are numerous cases where women workers experience a regressive double marginalization (as workers and as women) in globalized export agriculture, it is important to investigate cases where gendered working practices have given rise to more complicated, and possibly, more progressive outcomes. This chapter takes the case of women workers in export horticulture in North East Brazil to explore what these new sites might sometimes offer women workers, and whether they have been able to increase their bargaining power. The study looks at the context in which the rural trade union Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Rurais (STR) was operating, the ways in which women workers have engaged with the union, and the extent to which they have won benefits as workers through this engagement. The chapter places this case study in the broader Brazilian context; explain the reasons for, and extent of women's employment in the São Francisco valley, documenting how women have become increasingly active in the valley's rural trade union and how this has, in turn, resulted in important changes both within the trade union and to women's working conditions in the grape sector; and finally offers some preliminary conclusions to this study. …
Women Health Workers Creating Particular Pathways Of Change
The Lady Health Worker Programme (LHWP) is a major public sector initiative to provide reproductive health care to women in Pakistan, employing almost 100,000 women as community health workers. The LHWP directly addresses women's reproductive health needs by providing them with information, basic services and access to further care. The experience of LHWs can provide valuable insight into the impact of paid work on their lives and communities, and how processes of women's empowerment are shaped. The LHWP is a huge employer of women and the most important link between communities and primary health care in the country. …

Q: Unable to run vbscript file on windows 10 When I try to run a .vbs file on my Windows 10 laptop it shows the following error.

A: I can think of two reasons this might happen:

*

*The script is downloaded from the internet, so it is blocked. Unblock it via properties on the file.

*You have some sort of anti-malware installed that blocks access to the file. Check your logs for any information.

A: EDIT
Based on comment from Peter (thank you for that), I edit my answer.
You probably either rights issue - you don't have rights to execute your script on your desktop or you maybe the scripting is blocked altogether?  More information is needed from you - what kind of script is that?  The best would be to provide the source code + what are the rights on the directory (or directory chain) where you try to execute your code.
This is in case you need to elevate the rights of your script which is not yet your case:
You have to have privileges to run your script.  You can either start your command prompt as Administrator
Or
use runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\administrator your_script.vbs from your user command line
Or
Finally you can add UAC directly to your script:
This is source code from Microsoft technet:
'---------------------------------------
'Elevate this script before invoking it.
'25.2.2011 FNL
'---------------------------------------
bElevate = False
if WScript.Arguments.Count > 0 Then If WScript.Arguments(WScript.Arguments.Count-1) <> "|" then bElevate = True
if bElevate Or WScript.Arguments.Count = 0 Then ElevateUAC
'******************
'Your script goes here
'******************

'-----------------------------------------
'Run this script under elevated privileges
'-----------------------------------------
Sub ElevateUAC
    sParms = " |"
    If WScript.Arguments.Count > 0 Then
            For i = WScript.Arguments.Count-1 To 0 Step -1
            sParms = " " & WScript.Arguments(i) & sParms
        Next
    End If
    Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    oShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", WScript.ScriptFullName & sParms, , "runas", 1
    WScript.Quit
End Sub

A: Check to see if the file is on the "Public Desktop". If it is, it will appear
on every user's visual "desktop", but Windows will fail to find it in the
user Desktop folders.

Nils Fredrik Palmstierna, född 1 december 1788 i Hömbs församling, Skaraborgs län, död 11 juni 1863 i Hamburg, var en svensk friherre och diplomat. Han var sonson till Nils Palmstierna.

Palmstierna var ursprungligen militär, trädde i diplomattjänst 1809 och var 1818–1820 envoyé i Wien och i Sankt Petersburg 1820–1845. Han återkallades därefter, sedan han som en av konservatismens ledare vid 1844/45 års riksdag stött sig med Oskar I, och begärde samma år avsked ur krigstjänsten, där han 1843 avancerat till generallöjtnant och tillbringade sina sista år i Hamburg.

Dell, AMD Roll Out New Products For Windows Server 2012
Robert J. Mullins
Dell and Advanced Micro Devices are among the hardware makers who are introducing new products in conjunction with the release of Microsoft Windows Server 2012.
Dell is introducing a series of PowerEdge servers that will be pre-loaded with Windows Server 2012, including Microsoft's Hyper-V technology to support server virtualization.
Dell actually introduced this 12th generation PowerEdge line earlier this year but now the company will ship the servers with the new OS.
Meanwhile, AMD is also announcing recently released AMD Opteron 4200 and 6200 series processors have been optimized to run Windows Server 2012. AMD said that its Opteron processors run in servers that power Microsoft's Windows Azure public cloud service.
Hardware and software producers in the server, processor, OS ecosystem are under pressure to deliver improvements in the performance metrics that are most important to customers who expect the latest platforms to be faster, better, simpler, higher-capacity and more energy-efficient.
"We've got to drive simplicity in the management of that infrastructure. We've got to automate things," said Brian Payne executive director Dell PowerEdge platform marketing.
Dell's new servers-the M420 and M820 series-emphasize ease of deployment with Microsoft System Center Manager, said Kevin Noreen, marketing director for PowerEdge operating system and systems management technology at Dell.
"If you plug your Dell server into the wall, and you plug your network cable into the wall, it will automatically appear in the System Center console," said Noreen. "I don't even have to hit my power button. I can now push out configuration information or updates to that server without even powering it on and when it powers up it will automatically configure itself based on the configuration that you push to it."
This automatic configuration means that administrators in a Dell data center spend 85 percent less time firing up a new server than if it were an HP server, he said, and that the process takes 86 percent fewer steps.
The rivalry between Dell and HP can be seen in the latest server market share numbers from IDC. Dell was the only one of the top server vendors to increase market share in the second quarter in IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker report, growing by 5.9 percent to a 16 percent share. Noreen said Dell's second quarter server revenue grew by 14 percent.
However, HP leads the market with a 29.6 percent share to IBM's 29.2 percent share, although IDC considers any difference of less than 1 percent to be a statistical tie.
AMD, meanwhile, points out how its AMD Opteron processors help Microsoft attain some of the virtualization performance enhancements it sees with Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V, including support for up to 64 virtual processors, up to 1 terabyte of memory and support for up to 4,000 virtual machines.
Editor's Note: This article has been updated to clarify when AMD released its new Opteron processors and how these chips have been optimized for Windows Server 2012.
