Butternut Squash, by Andrea Hill.
I've unpacked my Uniqlo cashmere V-neck and my suede Beatle boots. I'm ready, but maybe not as willing as I should be. Fall used to be my favorite season. Now I make the bad mistake of gazing beyond into the future. I know that's not very Zen of me, but I already feel winter breathing down my neck. And New York winters now seem grayer and creepier, more drawn out one-tone affairs. Is it just me who thinks the seasons are changing? We hardly even get seriously cold weather or snow to break things up anymore. And when I go to the market to try to perk myself up, what do I find? Tons of hard squash. Nothing juicy going on right now.
Butternut squashes, both long and bulbous, are piled high at the Union Square market, along with all sorts of pumpkins and brown and green hard ribbed things that look fibrous and impenetrable. But, you know what, I love the flavor of butternut squash. It can be a challenge for a cook, as I'm sure you know, especially for a cook like me who focuses on Mediterranean flavors. But even Southern Italians have to deal with rough stuff in chillier weather, and they've found excellent ways of doing so. This pasta with squash and pork sausage is a good example.
I love this dish. It smells and tastes like the Thanksgiving of my dreams. And it's great a for a party, which is what I recently cooked it for, followed by a fennel and celery salad. To me this particular pasta speaks of the season more than any other. It has put me solidly in the present, which is where I prefer to be.
Here's a video from my preparation for that party.
Set an extra-large sauté pan over medium heat. Drizzle in about a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Add the butternut squash and the leeks, and sauté for a minute or so. Add the garlic, and season with salt, black pepper, the allspice, the rosemary, and the sage. Continue sautéing until the squash is tender and fragrant and the leeks are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the splash of vermouth, and let it bubble for a few seconds.
While the squash is cooking, get out another, smaller sauté pan, and set it over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the sausage, and sauté until it's browned. Add a splash of vermouth, and let it bubble.
Bring a big pot of pasta cooking water to a boil, and season it with salt. Drop in the orecchiette.
Add the sausage to the butternut squash. Add the lemon zest, and give everything a good stir.
When the orecchiette is al dente, drain it, saving a little of the pasta cooking water. Add the orecchiette to the pan with the squash, and sauté it over low heat for about a minute, just to blend all the flavors, adding pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce. Taste for seasoning.
Pour the pasta into a large serving bowl, and grate on some primo sale. Give it a quick toss, bringing the rest of the cheese to the table.
Nice post and wonderful video! It looks like you were having a great time. How did the guests like the dish? Even though I am in California and I have absolutely no right to even comment on the weather or change of seasons, I do understand what you are saying about the weather changing and a plethora of squash at the market. I have a dear friend who basically foisted a huge Kabocha squash on me after gifting me with luscious tomatoes and basil from her garden. I really appreciate it and, thanks to your recipe, I am inspired to make a pumpkin and pasta dish. Ciao!

Briefing a case requires you to put the material into your own words. To do this
Briefing a case requires you to put the material into your own words. To do this, you have to understand it.
Underlining text does not require you to understand it. Moreover, briefing a case reduces the volume of
material so you can find what you need. Underlining does not accomplish this goal either.
You will complete a brief on the following case and submit it to Chalk and Wire no later than Sunday
11:59 PM EST/EDT of Module 4:
**!Brady v. National Football League, 640 F.3D 785 (2011)**!
Submit the Case Brief 1 to Chalk and Wire using the link in the Module 4 folder. Students that do not
submit the assignment to Chalk and Wire will receive a zero. This is a key program assessment; the
results are used to ensure students are meeting program goals. Video and PDF instructions can be found
on the course home page. PDF instructions are also located in the Start Here folder.
Every lawyer briefs cases differently. A case brief generally consists of a series of topic headings with the
specific information from the case under each heading. Most case briefs contain similar information but
the headings and their sequence may be different. Some professors have a preferred briefing format. You
are only required to follow the general format as set forth below.
The following is adapted from A Practical Guide to Legal Writing and Legal Method (Dernbach, et al.,
1. Case name: Include the full citation, including the date of the opinion, for future reference and
citation. An example would be as follows: State v. Holloran, 140 NH 563 (1995). Refer to Bluebook to
determine the correct name for the case.
2. Pincites: Include pinpoint cites (cites to a particular page in the case) throughout the case brief so
you can find material again quickly within a case.
3. Procedural History: What happened to the case before it arrived in this court? If it is an appellate
case, list the decisions made by the lower court(s) and note what decision is being reviewed (e.g.,
jury verdict, summary judgment). You may need to look up procedural phrases with which you are
unfamiliar.
4. Facts: Include only the facts that were relevant to the court's decision. You are unlikely to know what
these are until you have read the entire opinion. Many cases may include procedural facts that are
relevant to the decision in addition to the facts that happened before litigation.
5. Issue: The particular question the court had to decide in this case. It usually includes specific facts as
well as a legal question. It may be expressed or implied in the decision. Cases may have more than
one issue.
6. Holding/Decision: The legal answer to the issue. If the issue is clearly written, then the holding can
be expressed as "yes" or "no." (Be careful not to confuse the holding with implicit reasoning. See # 8
7. Rule: The general legal principle(s) relevant to the particular factual situation presented in the case.
8. Reasoning: The logical steps the court takes to arrive at the holding. It can be straightforward and
obvious, or you may have to extrapolate it from the holding. Some reasoning is based on social
policy, which tells you why the holding is socially desirable. Understanding the reasoning behind a
decision is essential.
9. Disposition: A statement of what the court actually did in the case (affirmed, overruled, etc.)
10. Dissent/Concurrence: Although this part of the opinion is not considered law, it may help you better
understand some information about the legal reasoning in the case. Not all cases have a dissent or
concurrence, while some may have more than one.
11. Comments: Include your own responses to the case here. For example, does the reasoning make
sense? Is the holding consistent with other cases you have read? Is the case relevant to the question
you are trying to answer? This is a good place to note connections between the case you are briefing
and other cases you have read.
Sample Case Brief
Remember, most case briefs contain similar information but the headings and their sequence may be
different than what is outlined above. You should include in your brief all elements that you deem
necessary whether or not they are included in the sample below.
Luke Records, Inc. v. Navarro, 960 F.2d 134 (11th Cir. 1992)
Procedural History
Appealed from the trial court decision.
Luke Records, Inc., a recording label, held a contract with the musical group 2 Live Crew. This group
was well known in the genre of "Rap" music, which has repeatedly been accused of incorporating
"obscene" lyrics into the music. Obscene, in this sense, pertains only to the legal definition of
obscenity, not what any particular person or moral code may deem obscene. Luke Records, Inc. was
a Florida Corporation and Nick Navarro was the sheriff of Broward County at the time. The sheriff
obtained an ex-parte injunction (this means an injunction without both parties being present at the
initial hearing) granting the sheriff an injunction (a court order to "stop" doing a particular act). This
injunction was served on local record stores in an effort to have the music removed from Florida retail
sale. After the local Florida Circuit Court in Broward County issued the injunction, the decision was
appealed to the United States District Court for Southern Florida where the Court ordered the sheriff
to stop enforcing the injunction, but did, in fact, rule that the music was obscene, especially the song
"As Nasty As They Wanna Be." The sheriff appealed the case to the United States Court of Appeals,
11th Circuit, in Atlanta.
Is this music obscene under Florida state law and/or federal Constitution?
Holding/Decision
Obscenity must meet three part rule. Based on Supreme Court case Miller v. CA. All three parts must
be met:
(a) whether "the average person, applying contemporary community standards" would find that
the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
(b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically
defined by the applicable state law; and
(c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
The burden of proof could be clear and convincing or preponderance of the evidence test: however,
at the time the sheriff was granted the music, he offered nothing into evidence except a tape of the
music played before the court. There was no additional evidence presented that showed an average
person applying contemporary community standards would find the song appealing only to a prurient
interest. Further, the sheriff failed to prove part (b) and (c) of the test as well simply because he made
no attempt to enter any other testimony or evidence into consideration before the court. The sheriff
failed to meet his burden, although it is well possible that had he submitted all evidence as required,
he could possibly have met the test.
Case really determined by the sheriff's failure of proof. No discussion of nature of music. No
discussion of rule. No proper evidence submitted to the court.
To complete the assignment, you will need to first locate the case in the WestLaw database through the
Saint Leo University Online Library. Follow the steps below and contact the university library directly if you
have any technical difficulty (see the syllabus for contact info). Do not contact the eCollege Help Desk. If
you have access to a local law library, feel free to obtain copies of the assigned cases there instead.
1. Log on to the Saint Leo Portal at http://my.saintleo.edu.
2. Click Library at the top of My Saint Leo Home page.
3. Click Databases under FIND INFO.
4. A new browser window will open. Click WestLaw from the list of databases (you may need to scroll
down). Note: As long as you are logged on to My Saint Leo, you will not need to enter a separate
password for WestLaw. If you are not logged on to the portal, you will be prompted to logon (use your
portal UD and password).
5. Search for the case by entering the case name as your search terms. You can use any of the search
tools available, though the simplest may be "Find a document by title" under Shortcuts. This allows
you to enter the names of the parties in the case. For example, to search for Brown v. Board of
Education, you would type "Brown" in the first text box and "Board of Education" in the second text
6. Click Go after entering the names of the parties.
7. The case documentation will display once the search completes. If the search is unsuccessful, check
that you entered the names of the parties correctly. You are encouraged to print a copy of the case to
better assist you in completing the assignment.

Mar 22 Spotlight Jayme Fahrer
Jayme Fahrer creates heartfelt works with acrylic pours. Her mantra "Jayme pours out" is a reference to both the physical act of pouring paint, and the emotional connection she has to her work. Jayme states, "Have you ever felt so excited that screaming with joy did not express your excitement enough? Have you ever felt so angry that going to the gym and punching a punching bag for an hour did not exhaust all your anger? If not joy or anger, maybe fear, sadness, envy or doubt. Those over-the-top, beyond bodily capability, mind numbingly overpowering feelings are what ignite my artwork."
Join us for what promises to be an enlightening look at the career of an artist and her work: 'It is OK not to be OK and you are not alone."

May 11, 2015 May 19, 2015 Samuel Makanga Cultures in Uganda
The Bakiga people inhabit the Kigezi region in the counties of Rubanda, Ndorwa, Kabale, Rukiga, Rubanda, parts of Rukungiri and Kinkizi district. As a result of land fragmentation, the Bakiga have migrated to several other laces in Uganda especially in the districts of Kabarole, Hoima, Kasese, Rubirizi, Mubende, Masindi and Ibanda. The Bakiga have also settled in the districts of Rakai and Masaka. The Bakiga belong to the Bantu ethnic group and they are naturally strong and energetic people.
The origins of the Bakiga are embedded in a range of traditions and some of the traditions assert that the Bakiga initially lived in Karagwe after their migration from Bunyoro following the Luo invasion and they are associated with the Tanzania's Banyambo. Another tradition which is popularly believed asserts that they originated from Buganza in the neighboring Rwanda and their migration was influenced for the search of fertile land. After their departure from Rwanda, they passed through Bwisa, Bugoyi and Rutchru in Congo before settling in Kigezi.
Regarding their social setting, the Bakiga lived in clans and the biggest was the Basiga clan. Every clan had various lineages and each lineage had its head locally known as Omukuru W' Omuryango and a man was not supposed to marry from his clan.
Regarding marriage, Bakiga held a lot of attachment to the marriage. According to them, there was no marriage that could be honored when the man has not cleared the bride wealth. The boy's father or the uncle would organize the marriage for the boy and the bride wealth would be paid by his parents. The bride wealth included cows, goats and hoe and the amount differed from family to family and group to group. The Bakiga considered it a taboo to sell the cows given as bride wealth; it would be used as bride wealth for the brothers of the bride. The Bakiga are polygamous people and they could marry as many wives as they can so long as the bride wealth and land are available. The part of the bride wealth would be given to the close relatives and the notable ones included maternal uncle (Nyinarimi) an paternal aunt (Ishenkazi) and it was believed that of any of them went away sad, he could render the girl into bareness by including the ill wrath of the spirits of the ancestors.
Regarding divorce, it was a bit common among the Bakiga and the major causes were bareness and laziness on either sides along with other misunderstandings. Following divorce, the divorced woman was free to get married afresh but would bring less bride wealth as she was no longer virgin. The issues that caused divorce would be given attention by elders and the couple would at times be rejoined if the matters were amicably sorted out. If the divorce continued, the man would get his bride wealth that he paid to the parents of the girl.
Regarding religion, the Bakiga believed in Ruhanga the creator of heaven and earth with all its belongings. At the lower levels, they believed in a traditional cult called Nyabingi and this cult is said to have emanated from Karagwe and had its base in Kigarama close to Lake Bunyonyi. Endaro were special shrines for the Nyabingi cult and the cult's representatives were called Abagirwa who would worship and offer sacrifices of roasted meat and beer to Nyabingi.
Regarding production, the Bakiga grew crops especially sorghum, beans and millet. They also reward goats, sheep and cattle not forgetting bee keeping. Some of the Bakiga were Black Smiths and made hoes, spears and knives. The Bakiga were also porters and had a wide range of pottery items. They also practiced carpentry, art and crafts. They lived in communal settlements and bush clearing, grazing, cultivating and harvesting were done on a communal basis. They also practiced barter trade between themselves and their neighbors. In fact, regarding their sharing practice, it was considered a good practice for a visitor to come and wash his hands and join the people of a given family eating without waiting to be invited.
The local brew Omuramba had a significant role among the Bakiga. They could gather around it with their long tubes and would discuss the community affairs as they drink. The elders would also use the scene to settle disputes, recite their deeds which are heroic along with their history and then sing and dance around the Omuramba pot. They were very good zither players and would play it whether alone or in groups.
Regarding the equipment, the Bakiga had pots, winnowing trays, baskets, grinding stones, stools, wooden pestles, mingling ladles and mortars. The other households included bows, spears and arrows for hunting and defense, entrainment items like drums and harps not forgetting the grass mats for sleeping locally known as Ebirago and the Emishambi for sleeping. The Bakiga women used to put on cow hides called Enkanda or ebishato and also wore bangles on their arms and legs.
Regarding punishments, the Bakiga were very tough people. Activities like Sorcery, stealing, blocking paths and night dancing would be punished for if caught. The case of murder would see the killer being buried alive with the deceased in the same grave. For young pregnancies, the girls be taken to the forest tied to the tree feet and then would be thrown over the cliff. But he most notable as the Kisizi falls where the girls would be taken and then thrown down. The survivors would be cursed and disowned by their people.


After some time i (old forumname pvwoerkom) fired up the old atom and am back in bussines.
Project: Monocopter single wing rotating flying device.
Wing, Rc Receiver, BAP24, brushless motor+controller, compass and some code.
I will post some of my experiments to show what i have been up to so far.
Her some weird code to measure a RC receiver pulse.
Hooked up P0 to receiver channel.
The pulses from the RC receiver are measured in the backgroud using allmost no overhead (edge triggered).
push.w e0 ; save away any registers we use.
If you do an asm version you have to save and restore any registers you use where the basic version saves and restores all 7 32 bit registers (which takes many cycles). You have to clear the condition that caused the interrupt, which you were already doing. With WKP interrupts, you are also responsible to know which WKP interrupt had happened (All 6 are on one actual interrupt) and you must do a return from exception (RTE).
Monocopters rock! I have flown done some experimentation with rocket powered monocopters. Flight time is limited as is altitude but the THWUMP...THWUMP...THWUMP sound was great.
Anymore info on the airframe? Pics?


IMSA's 50th anniversary offers ample opportunities to look back at the history of the sport. This week, Hurley Haywood reveals the origins of the Daytona Prototypes.
Haywood's career vaulted in the early 1970s with victories in two of the championship's storied events. Wins at Daytona and Sebring made him one of the most recognizable names in sports cars.

yeah, right!
I guess they have bears here now
They have been few and far between for the past year plus, but Paul Ford's writings on Ftrain still have a quiet majesty to them that make me get all excited when his rss feed pings me with an update. This guy could write about the phone book and make me hang on every word.
I'll have to wait on the phone book essay but am happy to settle for this description of his walk home from dinner.

Q: java, работа с файлом БД (mysql) напрямую (без локального сервера) Итак добрые люди, прошу сразу не судить строго ибо только учусь писать код)
Вопрос следующий - есть некое javaFX приложение которое хранит свои данные в БД mysql, но сейчас оно подключается к ней через локальный сервер(open server), так вот, что нужно делать чтобы работать конкретно  с файлом БД без локального сервера, чтобы в итоге этот файл БД можно было "сшить" с программой, запихнуть в .exe и спокойно запускать его на другом пк без установки локального сервера и подключения к нему.
Заранее большое спасибо!

A: Если вопрос состоит в том, как подключиться к бд из кода, то след образом:

Episode 28- Tell me, have you ever been saved by an Orc?
Episode 28 of Inter-Party Conflict is here. In this episode we discuss alignments and how to go against them, as well as lots of resources for helping with your game. I also want to take a brief moment to direct you all to our buddies over at Crit Academy- they're a great podcast I think you would all benefit from listening to.
I haven't got a ton else to say at the moment, but thank you all for listening and telling your friends about the show. We've had some record-breaking numbers over the last couple weeks, and it's all because of you! So keep up the good work.
Oh! I almost forgot to mention. This episode marks the introduction of a new segment, the Funeral Pyre. If you have any interesting stories about player character deaths, send them to us (along with any questions or magic items) to InterPartyConflict@gmail.com and we may use them on future episodes! Try to keep Funeral Pyre stories short if you can, but we can always trim them down if need be.
So thanks again, and I hope you enjoy the show!
1. What are some ways to show players that alignment is not a concrete thing and to stop hastily making assumptions when they see a monster?
2. What are some tools or resources you use to help run a game?
Donjon- I'd heard of this but never used it, and it kept coming up while searching for resources. This site has generators for just about everything- names, cities, taverns, entire adventures, for multiple different editions of the game, too. Definitely a great resource.
The image board I mentioned- be warned, this link is NOT safe for work, and I strongly recommend using an adblocker.
Reddit's Imaginary Image network- I've found a link that combines all of the /r/Imaginary subreddits (ImaginaryCharacters, ImaginaryLandscapes, ImaginaryMonsters, etc.). Great for inspiration and portraits.
A Fellowship has been born!
Attention, everyone! I am pleased to announce that we have been made Fellowship members with the amazing podcast, Crit Academy. I've talked about them several times on Inter-Party Conflict in the past few episodes, but I just wanted to direct anyone that hasn't listened to them to check them out. They're a great resource for character concepts, monster ideas, magic items, and anything you could need to take your game from being good to being great. Go to their website (Http://www.critacademy.com) to see what they're all about, and if you sign up through their form, you can actually win things just by listening! And, hopefully, you'll have a great time on the way.
I'll be putting a permanent link somewhere here on the blog, but until then I just wanted to tell everyone what's going on.
So as Justin would say, keep your blades sharp and spells prepared, heroes!
In this week's episode we talk about killing your players because they don't know how to play the game, telling other players at the table what to do, making your puzzles impossible, and tacking on extra plot twists to pad out the campaign. (Or... wait, maybe those were the other way around. Is it opposite day? No? Then that means yes?) We also have another item from Justin at Crit Academy, and hopefully no sound issues this time.
One thing I should note: There's been a buzz around the proverbial water cooler that supposedly Soundcloud is having issues. If that's true and not just rumor, then that will probably mean some changes for us in the future, though I'm not certain exactly what. I'll play it by ear and let you all know whenever I know- though I doubt it will mean much of a change (beyond me having to go back and edit thirty or more links in the blog here...).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this (tangent-filled) episode, and thanks for listening!
1. As the DM is it my responsibility to make sure characters are playing to the best of their ability or should I let the other party members sort that out? Should I run combat encounters in a more forgiving manner or play on the side of realism?
2. As a player, how do you discourage another player from hogging the spotlight constantly but do so with tact?
3. When creating a puzzle or riddle for the players, should I always have a backup ready in case they can't solve the puzzle or should I offer hints until they do?
4. What do you feel about campaigns having plot twists that make the game longer?
Episode 26- and a surprise milestone!
Hey, everyone! It's another week, and another episode of Inter-Party Conflict. We discuss finding a group, using the same monster over and over, taking initiative and developing characters and campaigns. We had some (very minor) audio issues during this episode, but I put a disclaimer at the beginning just in case it bothers anyone. I'm also going to be looking into creating a custom website for us- as utilitarian as this blog is, I'll be the first to admit it doesn't look all that great and after finding out how Justin at Crit Academy designed their website I'm going to try and make one too. So keep your fingers crossed that we might have one in the upcoming weeks.
In this episode (way at the end) I also mention a new segment that I'd like to include! It's going to be called the Funeral Pyre, and we'll be reading listener stories about a memorable character death. It could be your first character death, or one where the dice stabbed you in the back, or just one where your character went out in a blaze of glory. If you have any character death stories you want to share, or if you want to submit an item for the Dragon's Hoard, or you have questions for us to discuss, please send them to InterPartyConflict@gmail.com!
1. What is the best way to go about finding or starting a game?
2. Are there any methods you can recommend to make rolling for initiative simpler? Also have you ever had a DM or been a DM who keeps forgetting a player's turn frequently and is there a trick to correcting this habit?
3. As a DM, how does one break out of the habit of just using the same type of monster over and over?
4. How do you plan out your campaigns? What do you think is the best way to plan out a campaign?
5. What are some ways to get players to develop their characters more? Should I let players be as two dimensional as they like if they are having fun?
In this episode, I mentioned a monster called the Gravorg from the 3rd Edition Monster Manual 2. Click this link for its stats and description; once you've done that, Click Here for the official artwork depicting one. Something about the two seems a bit off.
Monster in my Podcast, a small-servings podcast going through the 2nd Edition Monster Manual. It's also part of the Duckfeed.tv podcasting network, which has provided me with literally hundreds of hours of free gaming-related podcasts.
Episode 25- we've been doing this for half a year!
I forgot to mention it while we were recording, but this week's episode marks the 6 month point from when we started. Six months! Half of a year! The time flies when you're having fun (and, incidentally, it flies when you're editing a podcast twice because Audacity crashed; time flying isn't a good thing when you have to get up early the next morning). So wherever you are reading this or listening to the episode, kick back and enjoy a can of RC Cola and celebrate the half-anniversary of what I hope is your favorite tabletop gaming advice podcast.
This week's episode deals with fudging dice, paintings of dragons, tieflings that aren't demons and breaking ribs because the DM told you so. Give us a listen, tell your friends about us, and if you have any questions for future episodes or items for the Dragon's Hoard, submit them to InterPartyConflict@gmail.com!
1. Should the DM fudge dice rolls, and if so, when is it appropriate?
2. How do you address a DM who you feel has ruined an encounter by not so discreetly fudging rolls?
3. Are there any elements of D&D that you don't think fit into the setting?
4. What are your thoughts on the DM tracking [player] hit points and not relaying numbers to the players, but instead relying on vivid descriptions?

Have You Heard Of FAME Fields Of Study?
Students who attend top schools, such as West London College (known for its business subjects in hotel and tourism management, marketing and finance and accountancy) have come to appreciate how business courses can make learning more interesting by inter-relating these subjects under the popular acronym of FAME – finance, accounting, management and economics. These four subjects are among the most influential fields of study at graduate level universities and business schools in the UK and world.
Today, graduates of business schools command higher salaries and, in most cases, can obtain a position before they graduate. That is because the subject of business, as the FAME acronym indicates, touches on most facets of society. Therefore, obtaining a business degree is synonymous with achieving a level of diversity in your search for a dream job or career. Because careers in business usually command better salaries and are, as indicated, more diversified, some students quickly see the wisdom of studying business and making a career in the field their primary goal and objective.
There are a number of business degrees from which to choose, each offering varying specialisations and advantages and each applicable to individuals at different phases of development. Indeed, some people who obtain business degrees are in very different careers when they graduate.
The term "business degrees" is generally understood to mean that this type of education includes a fairly wide range of coursework, with some of the subjects highly specialised while other topics are described as interdisciplinary in nature. Other topics are more academic while some business subjects mainly concentrate on professional or practical development. Each of the types of disciplines is further classified by tiers or levels and by types of degrees – either direct or supplementary in their focus.
Therefore, some of the subject curriculums include management sciences, finance, computer science, accountancy, finance, sociology, entrepreneurship, law, modern languages, human resource (HR) management, strategic management and economics.
At the lower tier of study, most students obtain a foundation as to the varying facets or aspects of the business world. This enables them to choose a spsecilisation. For higher degrees, business studies are focused on a specific aspect of business, although some schools do allow some amount of flexibility in the development of course material.
Business administration, accountancy and finance and marketing are all subject areas that can be further explored. When students go on to advanced classes, they have already usually obtained a significant amount of professional expertise. Therefore, at this point in their career, they are concentrating on developing professionally.
Whatever level of study you are pursuing—whether beginning or advanced—you can expect that all business degrees will place a strong emphasis on a practical application of theory, whether it is introduced in case studies, in project and team work or in solving certain tasks. Often placement schemes and internships are also incorporated in the learning process.
The combination of an academic challenge and the focus on practical application makes the prospect of business study very appealing for anyone who has an entrepreneurial bent or who is attracted to collaborative yet competitive activities. However, the choice to study business is mainly contingent on an individual's desire to pursue a specific subject area, such as accounting or marketing.
It is not surprising that even business grads who specialise in accountancy then can wear one of many hats in this niche area of business. Some business grads may even take jobs that you normally would not associate with business. Business grads can be found in roles in finance departments – one area that hires a lot of business graduates, as well as other sectors, such as business consultancy, retailing and human resources. The plenitude and variety of careers in business truly underlie the appeal of the subject for many of the students interested in the industry.
If you have just begun an interest in business and do not know how to proceed or you have just graduated with a business degree, you may be considering entering one of the many graduate training schemes that are featured by worldwide conglomerates and companies. These kinds of schemes frequently permit graduates to spend time in traineeships in various areas of the company's business as well as different regions internationally. Doing so allows the trainee to finally realise the best career track to pursue his studies.
You might also obtain a degree in business and pursue a role in a company called an SME (small-to-medium-size enterprise). The degree can also be utilised in non-profits, NGOs, start-ups and charities. If you have a unique idea and the business acumen to support it, you might even consider pursuing the entrepreneurial route.
Research shows that business grads who pursue a degree in entrepreneurship often outrank their peers when it comes to salary. Most grads who pursue an entrepreneurial calling in the field can earn 100,000 pounds per year in a very short time – provided, of course, they have a keen insight into the various areas of business.
Indeed, the business grad can really test his interests in business when he holds a degree. Graduates can assume roles in such areas as management consultancy, marketing, teaching and training, chartered accountancy, retail buying, advertising and market research. Many grads also go on to pursue jobs as public relations officers, bank managers or insurance underwriters. Sales managers, consumer products specialists and logistic managers can also all hold degrees in business.
As indicated, the salaries of business grads are far better than many of their peers, which, in turn, is at the heart of an individual's motivation to pursue a degree in business. While acquiring a degree in business does not guarantee a high salary, it certainly will open doors for a graduate where a higher wage can be discovered and found.
If you are assessing the merits of a degree in business, you will find there are many advantages and benefits to this field of study. The field is diverse so you can explore and find your true calling in the industry.

It seems to me like it has taken a long time for Moonlight International Preschool (MIP) to arrive, but it also feels like it all started only yesterday. It all begun just in the heads of the preschool director and mine to establish an international preschool. How could that come true…?
There was nothing where the preschool is now built.
We asked many people for advice and a lot of people helped us.
We were able to found the first Social Welfare Corporation in Hatsukaichi.
It began slowly, but surely and definitely, it happened.
We had the chance to talk with the local people through the construction information session we held.
We were able to explain the modus operandi of the preschool through an information session to parents and guardians.
And finally, this month, April 2019, has come! It marked the historic occurrence of Moonlight International Preschool entrance ceremony. Congratulations to the parents for allowing their children to enroll in our preschool.
All the children who were then bored with our speeches suddenly glowed with smiles and enjoyed our skit. Finally, all the teachers sang their hearts out to the school song that the head of the preschool composed. It is in both English and Japanese. We hope the children will be able to sing it from time to time.
There were many difficulties and challenges on the way, but we were able to overcome them and, to see the smiles of the children on this day is a great fulfillment of our dreams. We owe the many people we came into contact with on this journey to the opening ceremony of MIP. We would like to express our gratitude to all the numerous people we owe to the children in a form of kindness to all the children enrolled in MIP. We will do our best to ensure beautiful, successful graduation of all the children from MIP, and we thank everyone for their continued support and understanding. May all our cherished dreams come true!

In North America, where 133,512 of the Audi 5000 C2s were sold, just five-barrel motors were accessible. The diesel was initially not accessible in California, as Porsche-Audi of North America was not able meet that state's strict emanations principles. The normally suctioned diesel was likewise just accessible with a five-speed manual, an impediment in the American market. It was not until the 1983 presentation of the turbodiesel that these issues were amended. The 5000 had twin round headlamps for the initial two model years, after which they were supplanted by rectangular units.
In 1980 the 5000 Turbo touched base in the US. This model just conveyed 130 hp (97 kW), more than twenty percent not exactly the European spec model. Beside meeting the strict US discharges, this model additionally had lower help weight to have the capacity to keep running on the lower octane unleaded fuel accessible in America. While the Turbo likewise got a harder, sportier suspension, greater aluminum wheels, and other execution redesigns, it was additionally just accessible with a three-speed programmed transmission. Street and Track could achieve a top pace of 113 mph (182 km/h) in the federalized auto, slower than a normally suctioned European market 2.1 E. In the US, mirroring the Audi's extravagance intentions, 90 percent of 5000s got the expensive "S" gear bundle.

Rise up, ye garden party skunks
On January 15, 2015 January 15, 2015 By aronsbarronIn Culture, Media, Politics
Driving down the Mass Pike the day after Boston was tapped for the 2024 U.S. summer Olympics bid, there on the WGBH electronic billboard, the five Olympic rings logo against our beautiful skyline. A frisson of excitement. Wow; it's coming here! Congratulations to the bidding group. And in a split second, I wondered what (and who) will get lost in the process. I felt the locals had eaten the catnip and nothing was going to stop this bid from going forward.
Boston 2024 executive Dan O'Connell said as much to Adam Reilly last night on Greater Boston. They'll modify plans perhaps if, for example, there's overwhelming opposition to a particular venue, but this baby is moving out. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh says they'll be listening to the public, that this will be "the most open and transparent and inclusive process in Olympics history," but he opposes a city referendum. (This is the same man who championed the right of Bostonians to vote on casinos affecting their community.)There's no doubt that the farther he goes down the road with the elite, self-appointed group of 2024 proponents, the harder it will be to pull the plug.
It's not reassuring that it took Freedom of Information suits to get the organizers to let the media peek at their Bid Book documents. This morning Boston 2024 made public some renderings of venues. But O'Connell et al won't distribute copies of the bid because of so-called "proprietary information" (and alleged pressures from the IOC). Excuse me, but whose city is this anyway? Plus, O'Connell explained, the proposal is already changing. Well, we're grownups. We can understand when something is in flux.
Already there's a tendency to label critics as so many skunks at the garden party. Naysayers. As if every question were a symptom of craven negativity. But we need those skunks to raise very legitimate questions. Of course, if ultimately chosen,we're capable of pulling it off. But should we? What are the real costs? Not just in dollars, but in lost opportunities to do other things.
Supporters claim the only public dollars (beyond federal money for security) would be the $4.5 billion needed for infrastructure, already authorized in state transportation plans. But it doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to realize that state priorities would be reordered to advance the Olympics and that projects for the central and western part of the Commonwealth would be moved to the back burner. This happened with the Big Dig, a huge and worthwhile project but a testament to wild cost overruns and diversions of road and bridge money from projects important outside Route 128. (Will Governor Charlie Baker, getting aboard the bandwagon, jettison his campaign promises to take economic benefits to the whole state?)
The data from other Olympics are overwhelming. There is no economic benefit from being chosen, and most winning cities suffer great losses. Smith College economist Andrew Zimbalist, who has just published a book on the subject, says Boston would be lucky to lose the Olympics. Boston's budget can be expected, as the NY Times put it, to "trampoline."
Studies abound showing that notwithstanding promises that no public dollars will be spent (except for infrastructure), that promise is rarely kept. Host cities swim in red ink for years. The best that can be said is that some residents in host cities benefit from enhanced self esteem and short-term happiness from participating in a world spectacle. Even claims that locals are inspired by the athletes and exercise more are baseless.
Olympics booster and Boston Globe business columnist Shirley Leung made one good point in the reams she has written marketing the idea. She has reported how New York, in losing its bid to London, came out a winner because of all the beneficial planning that was part of the process. If that's what comes out of the Boston Olympic bid process, that is all to the good. But planning our future should drive the Olympics bid, not the other way around.
A Boston Globe editorial wisely intoned that Boston's selection as the U.S. nominee "should only begin the public discussion of the wisdom of hosting the Games here, not end it." Let's hope the local media don't get swept along in the tide of boosterism and seduced by sugar plum fantasies of economic gains at little to no taxpayer expense.
A full and public debate is essential, including perhaps a statewide referendum on a 2016 ballot. Listen carefully to the bid promoters and also visit the No Boston Olympics website. Let's be supportive of a well reasoned process and not be carried away by the glamour, hyperbole and mythology. If we do host the Olympics, it should be part of an overall long-term strategy for investing in our collective future, not just a five-week party for the well connected, one that leaves us and our children holding the bag for their fun and games.

Thanks for an acurate analysis of the risks that a Olympics planning can easily push aside all other planning and projects. I note that you refer to Shirley Leung's recent piece that tries to recount the impact of New York's 2012 bid on neighborhood planning. She is wrong. Here's what I sent to the Globe in response to her article:
As a former New York City Planning administrator, I was surprised to read Shirley Leung's highly distorted explanation of New York's planning history, which asserts that the 2012 Olympic bid was the prime reason for the success of numerous neighborhood renewal projects, in particular, Hunters Point Queens and Hudson Yards, Manhattan. (January 14, 2015 at page C1) She quotes two sources in the city, whose recollections imply that in both areas, redevelopment was stalled in endless discussion until the Olympic promoters came along.
This odd story is offered as proof of the much-repeated argument that an Olympic bid provides the opportunity to focus attention on how the city can work better, and that its deadline forces inefficient planners and city leaders to get things done.
Contrary to what is said in Ms. Leung's piece, both Hunters Point and Hudson Yards were areas of the city that the New York City Planning Department was actively working on in the 1980's and 1990's. Both were planned under the city's Charter-mandated procedures, which required the staff of the city departments to work closely with the pertinent Community Boards, Borough Presidents and the neighborhood associations and civic groups that had interest in all aspects of development and renewal.
In Hunter's Point, the initial neighborhood planning focused on area's declining manufacturing and need for housing renewal for its low-income and working class residents. The neighborhood plans anticipated a series of re-zoning actions over an extended period – covering, first, certain strategic blocks near the subway stations; then extending to blocks that would remain industrial and other blocks for loft conversions, housing preservation, and re-constructed housing at modest scale. Finally some blocks would become high-rise commercial and housing and luxury waterfront development (including the sites proposed for the Olympic village). The first re-zoning took place in 1986 (allowing the Citibank Tower to be built) and there were additional re-zonings in 1995, 2001 and finally in 2005. Each zoning action was accompanied by other city investments in infrastructure and re-planning of roads and public spaces. The long time line has insured that all the pieces have fit together and that the luxury housing and commercial projects (now under construction in 2014) are balanced and integrated with the earlier priority projects of low and moderate income housing and industrial/commercial preservation.
The New York experience should teach Boston a very different lesson than that advocated by Ms. Leung. Routine processes of neighborhood planning, in which citizens and community organizations are fully empowered players, are not a failed or inefficient method of planning. They create high quality neighborhoods and insure that all good ideas get on the agenda and able to compete for resources and the attention of city leaders and technicians. The risk of an Olympics bid is that only the projects and ideas that fit the single-purpose agenda and the deadline, are pulled out and given priority, distorting the give and take of neighborhood planning and pushing aside weaker citizens and communities.

This is a really thoughtful reply, all leading up to the key point: "The risk of an Olympics bid is that only the projects and ideas that fit the single-purpose agenda and the deadline, are pulled out and given priority, distorting the give and take of neighborhood planning and pushing aside weaker citizens and communities." That should be the test against which everything should be measured.
Fiscally speaking in plain English, the notion of Boston hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics is total B.S.
Victor DeRubeis
Planning our future SHOULD drive the Olympics bid and not the other way around, Marjorie, but it usually takes a crisis (and make no mistake: this is a crisis in the purest sense) for that to happen. My hope is for Boston to do all this great planning and have the bid go to Rome. It will give us a chance to see what our leaders, particularly Marty Walsh, are really made of.

Crossover Appeal
Strong Female Character Friday: Gina Linetti (Brooklyn 99)
It's been kind of an intense week on the blog so far. And, to be honest, it's been kind of an intense few months for me. So instead of getting all sad and mopey this Friday, I think it's time we celebrate and have a fabulous time. Why? Because we're here to talk about Ms. Gina Linetti, and she would definitely not want us to be sad. Mostly because she doesn't want us bringing her down.
No, seriously, I've actually been planning to talk about Gina for a while now, because as Brooklyn 99 goes one, she's become a really complex and interesting character. We've talked before about Rosa and Amy, but now is the time to talk about Gina. Because Gina really doesn't seem like she should be line to be lauded as a great female character. Right? She's kind of the worst, actually. She's shallow and vain and proud of her flaws. She is the stereotype most women in the workplace are trying desperately to avoid. She's a slacker who doesn't care about her job, mocks others mercilessly, and carries a hairdryer in her purse.
And for all of those reasons, she's actually an amazing character.
As a quick backup, Brooklyn 99 is a half-hour "workplace" comedy on FOX that follows the lives of a bunch of detectives and admins in the Brooklyn 99th precinct. Gina (played with such skill by Chelsea Peretti) is the precinct's civilian administrator and is eventually promoted to being Captain Holt's assistant. While the rest of the characters are generally interested in solving their cases and dealing with crime, Gina doesn't care at all. She takes long naps, refuses to answer her phone, and makes paper airplanes out of official documents.
This is the Gina we know and love or loathe for most of the show. An unrepentant narcissist with enough personality problems to keep a house party full of psychiatrists enthralled for hours, Gina is pretty much a standup of the standard annoying coworker who somehow never gets fired despite doing absolutely nothing productive.
What makes her an amazing character is that she is definitely all of these things, but as the series progresses we see she's also a bunch more.
For example, when Gina's apartment is robbed in season one, Amy and Rosa laugh it off, figuring that Gina is the kind of insensitive where nothing like this should ever bother her. But it did bother her - she's not a robot, she has real feelings. And while she goes about expressing them in a particularly juvenile way, that doesn't make them invalid.
Later in the season we discover that Gina and our protagonist, Jake, have been friends since childhood. She's weird but she's still totally able to keep a friendship going that long. Furthermore, we find out in that episode that Gina has close to half a million dollars in savings, because she's been living in a tiny shoebox apartment since she first moved out and has saved all her money. That's right, Gina Linetti is shallow and self-centered, but also incredibly fiscally responsible. And she's even really giving, offering to buy Jake's apartment and then rent it back to him. He turns her down (rightly) and lets her buy it herself.
Heck, for all that Gina is absolutely definitely a narcissist, she's also a pretty good friend. She asks about Terry's kids when no one else will. She's the only person from their precinct to successfully befriend Holt's husband, Kevin. She has a level of emotional awareness that puts everyone else to shame and is frequently the only one to figure out when a coworker is distressed.
And it's made clear that she's still a growing and changing person. When the series starts she really doesn't care about anyone at work, but over time she becomes really close with Captain Holt and Terry. They believe in her and as a result of their trust, she starts to actually go places with her life. She goes back to school. She gets serious about her (admittedly awful) dance troupe. When she finds out that Captain Holt didn't go to one of her performances, she's devastated.
She even manages to befriend Amy, after having spent years mocking her, by showing her how to get out of her own head and have some fun. Gina's not a bad person, is the thing. She's a complex one. She has her good and bad moments. She can be a bitch or she can be the person you most need to hear. And that's pretty realistic.
I guess part of the reason I like Gina is because I see in her a truth that we often forget. The people we interact with on a day to day basis are much more complex than we tend to acknowledge. We go through life barely paying attention, but every once in a while it's important to stop and remember: the people around you have lives when you're not around. They do things. They cry and snore and wonder if anyone likes them. They have whole worlds of personality that you haven't seen, and just because you haven't seen it doesn't make it invalid.
People are people whether you're looking or not. It's easy to forget when you see the outward sass and ridiculousness of Gina that she's a breathing, feeling human, but she is. And that's the beauty of her character.
It's also a huge part of why I love and respect Brooklyn 99 so much. They're not afraid to make Gina a person even when it would be easier, from a narrative standpoint, to let her stay the same. It's hard to write realistic growth and depth, but they've done it anyway and I really appreciate that.
This past season saw a number of plotlines revolving around Gina that gave us whole new insights into her personality. First there was her fling with Boyle. At first it felt like just another throwaway joke where she was ashamed of having sex with him because he's not super hot, but it turned into a rather complex look at both of their characters. In the end, when the revelation that their parents were dating made them immediately break up, Gina handled it all with a lot of grace and dignity.
Granted, it's a special kind of dignity that involves standing on a chair in the bullpen and loudly proclaiming her sexual history, but she's a special kind of girl.
Next we saw a touching storyline about Gina's relationship with her mother and all the many reasons why she was worried about her mom getting together with Boyle's dad. We got to see how protective she is, and also where a huge chunk of her personality comes from.
There was the scene where we find out how much she respects Kevin and what he and Captain Holt mean to her. There was the entire episode about her attempts to become better friends with Amy (through alcohol). And there was all this character growth about her coming to view her job not just as a place to nap in between dance rehearsals, but as a place full of people who will support her. Still not a place to do actual work, but we're getting there.
Gina Linetti is a great character because she's not a simple one. She takes the negative stereotypes about women in the workforce and fleshes them out, builds them up - makes them into a person. Like we talked about last week with Karen Page in Daredevil, it's not the attributes themselves that I object to, it's how they're usually used to create a female character with no real depth or agency. Gina has both depth and agency. The writers have taken little scraps of character and sewn them into the Lycra bodysuit that is Gina Linetti.
It's been a long week, and sometimes all you really want is to just kick back and let your worst self take over. That's who Gina is. But that's not all she is, and that's why we love her.

Q: CPLEX+JAVA: Retrieving Solution inside Heuristic Callback behaves weirdly I have the following problem: I solve a large VRP with many synchronization constraints using CPLEX integrated with a heuristic component to improve incumbents. The general algorithm is as follows: If a new incumbent is found in  CPLEX, or if a time limit is reached, I move to a heuristic, and try to improve the current incumbent. The former is done using an Incumbent Callback, the latter using a Heuristic Callback. While I am able to query all variables in the incumbent callback, I get some weird behavior in the heuristic callback:
When I query
this.getStatus().toString()

this returns "Optimal", even though the solution is not optimal yet (there is an incumbent, but still a rather large integrality gap). I made sure that the model actually queries the correct cplex object by looking into objective value and current integrality gap, they match the log. Then,
this.getIncumbentValue(v[n][i][j]);

fails (it also fails if I query the values using this.getIncumbentValues(v[n][i]);).
When I check in the model (using cplex.exportModel(String filename), all variables are present.
I was thinking that this might be related to the fact that I use CPLEX as a singleton, but the status is already "optimal" when I use the singleton for the first time (in the first iteration however, all variables can be queried, this problem only exists in the second iteration).
I create the singleton as such:
public static IloCplex getCplex() {
    if (cplex == null) {
        try {
            cplex = new IloCplex();
        } catch (IloException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } else {
        try {
            cplex.clearModel();
            cplex.setDefaults();
        } catch (IloException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    return cplex;
}

Did I maybe do something wrong here?
EDIT: The exact error message including back trace is:
ilog.cplex.IloCplex$UnknownObjectException: CPLEX Error: object is unknown to IloCplex
 at ilog.cplex.CpxNumVar.getVarIndexValue(CpxNumVar.java:295)
 at ilog.cplex.IloCplex$MIPInfoCallback.getIndex(IloCplex.java:13648)
 at ilog.cplex.IloCplex$MIPInfoCallback.getIncumbentValues(IloCplex.java:13807)

 at SolverHybridCRP$InsertSolution.getV(SolverHybridCRP.java:2091)
 at SolverHybridCRP$InsertSolution.improveIncumbent(SolverHybridCRP.java:2054)
 at SolverHybridCRP$InsertSolution.main(SolverHybridCRP.java:2024)
 at ilog.cplex.CpxCallback.callmain(CpxCallback.java:160)
 at ilog.cplex.CpxHeuristicCallbackFunction.callIt(CpxHeuristicCallbackFunction.java:48)

 at SolverHybridCRP.solveModel(SolverHybridCRP.java:1525)
 at AppHelp.runtimeTest4(AppHelp.java:1218)
 at AppHelp.main(AppHelp.java:61)

it occurs when I query ANY variable, but only after I query the cplex object the second time. (So: I start the program, it iterates over a lot of instances, the first instance is fine, all heuristic callbacks work, in all further iterations, I end up in the catch-block and get the above exception trace.)
That is why I assumed that maybe the singleton does not work exactly as supposed, and not everything is deleted from the first iteration.

A: Looking at the reference documentation you can see for IloCplex.HeuristicCallback.getStatus()

Returns the solution status for the current node.
This method returns the status of the solution found by the instance
  of IloCplex at the current node during the last call to the method
  IloCplex.HeuristicCallback.solve (which may have been called directly
  in the callback or by IloCplex when processing the node just before
  the callback is called).

In other words, the function does not return a global status but only a node-local status. It is expected that the node is currently solved to optimality when the callback is invoked.
With respect to the exception in the callback: you are trying to access a variable object that is not in the model being solved. Typical cases in which this happens are:

*

*You created the variable but it does not appear in any constraints or in the objective, i.e., it is not used anywhere. You can force its usage by explicitly calling cplex.add() with the variable as argument.

*The variable was created in a previous iteration and is no longer part of the model in the current iteration. A good way to debug this is to assing a name to each variable and have that name include the iteration index. Then in the exception handler print the name of the offending variable. That should give a very good hint about what is wrong.

I've been working in a marketing role at a medium-sized retail business for the last three years. Recently, I proposed a new initiative to the board to integrate sustainability principles into our business model, and they said there wasn't budget. So I guess it is time to try to move on. But I am unsure about how my skills will translate, what the market is like now and how I will find the time for a job search while in this demanding role. Sustainability is a critical emerging issue and I want to be a part of shaping it for a retail company that is committed to making a difference. Can you help?
Making a career change is scary and exhilarating all at the same time. Fear of change, failure and the unknown are usually what hold us back from diving into a change. Or perhaps a bit of laziness, too?
Thomas Jefferson once said, "If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done." Fear, uncertainty, nervousness and reticence are the nieces of nephews of the Great Unknown, but rather than resisting them, you now have the opportunity to use them to their best advantage by recognizing them and putting them to work.
I always ask my career-coaching clients to think three years down the line in their job or career and ask themselves, "Did I have an impact in those three years? Did I make a difference? Did I challenge myself to grow? Did I enable others to live into their values?"
Figure out what those three years need to look like for you to meet your personal and professional goals. It's time to dream.
A career change is especially scary because it affects your financial security. But we are a "portfolio career" generation where moving from job to job has become more accepted. It's now less common to stay in one career for the whole of your working life. A career change can provide a new opportunity to live your values and find an organizational culture that you are more aligned to. If you already have tried to create that sustainability space within your role and company but there isn't an appetite, then perhaps it is time to explore options. Maybe one of your competitors is looking for an eager marketer with a sustainability lens right now? You won't know unless you look.
How can fear help you?
For our ancestors on the African savannas, fear was something they experienced in short intense bursts to help them make an immediate decision to stop and fight, or run. Once the situation that gave rise to the fear was over, the body reverted to its non-stress state. Today, however, we are bombarded with choices and have to think on our feet and, what's more, we apply fear to future situations that haven't even arisen yet. Moving beyond fear requires an acknowledgement that fear is an irrational reaction in the majority of contexts, and that rather than being afraid, it's far more productive to examine our fear reactions in order to move beyond them responsibly.
Why is making a career change so daunting?
• The market is tight with hiring managers seeing 100 to 300 applications per role.
• The "easy" route of finding a role online is 60 percent less likely to convert to a job than networking, which for many is not a comfortable or favorite sport.
• You have to create and communicate your personal brand to stand out from the crowd and have the confidence in putting yourself out there.
• Sustainability is an evolving and diverse agenda within companies and sectors, so navigating the jobs market around it is not clear or straightforward.
Do any of these ring true for you? Make a commitment to unpacking, understanding and ultimately overcoming your own fears by first clarifying them, naming them, writing them down and sticking them on a dartboard or mirror. Then look hard at them in the cold light of day, and ask why are they holding you back.
• Is this fear valid?
• Is it something I can control? Is it about me and my abilities, or the external environment?
• What is the worst-case scenario that could arise from this fear?
• What factors would make this outcome more likely?
• How can I minimize each of those factors?
• What is the best-case scenario that could arise from this fear?
• How can I maximize each of those factors?
By plucking your fears out of the deepest, oldest and least rational parts of your brain, dusting them off and shining a spotlight on them in full view of your frontal lobe — that's the part of your brain that deals with higher order functions, and the part that got you the job in the first place — you make your fear manageable and less, well, scary.
Reach out to your support network. Whether on social media through issue-specific LinkedIn groups, or by identifying an individual who has led on a similar project and contacting them, or by looking to colleagues for an internal champion and trouble shooter, there are people with experience, wisdom and insight to offer — and it's often been hard-won. Talk through your fears with someone you trust and value and you will gain perspective and clarity about what is holding you back.
Best of luck making the change you are craving by diving in head first to combat your fears. Need help navigating your career transition? Contact me to learn how you could benefit from my tried-and-tested tools and hands-on facilitation.

Philip Pullman novel to become children's opera
11 December 2012, 17:40 | Updated: 18 September 2014, 14:47
The Firework-Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman is to become a major new opera for children from Opera North, touring the country in 2013.
Novelist Philip Pullman's The Firework-Maker's Daughter is to be turned into a full-scale opera for children by Opera North and The Opera Group. The production will have its world premiere in Hull Truck Theatre in March 2013 before touring the country.
The opera has been adapted from Pullman's novel by librettist Glyn Maxwell, with the score written by award-winning composer David Bruce. It features a cast of five singers and two puppeteers, including soprano Mary Bevan, counter-tenor James Laing and bass-baritone Andrew Slater.
Direction for the family-friendly opera will come from John Fulljames, Associate Director of Opera at the Royal Opera House. The production will also have two-week residency at New York's New Victory Theatre.
Rebecca Walsh, Education Director for Opera North, commented: "This promises to be an explosive introduction to opera for families. As we are Opera North, it is an especially exciting first for us that the opera will receive its world premiere in Hull, rather than our home city of Leeds."

Q: What should be structure of Vue component? in which order functions should be added? Is there any systematic structure for Vue component? In which order computed , methods, components, mounted watch etc should be written?

A: No, there is not. 100% personal preference. I like to start with the data, methods and usually end with the lifecycle methods. That is similar to how it is usually positioned in the docs and seems convenient because data and methods get changed a lot, and lifecycle methods not so much. However, there is no reason to do it like that from the framework. Go your game.

A: It's possible to maintain the order of object keys in practice in JavaScript, but this isn't guaranteed for ES5 specification, which is supported by Vue. So it shouldn't be expected that the framework will rely on the order in which component properties are defined.
Component functions can maintain a certain order for consistency like other answers explains, but they should not. This is purely a matter of style.

A: Update
For component I mostly prefer putting script tags before html tags. As the idea that we mostly use to play with js so I feel itchy to move down always in the page. Else make your layout as per your preference
As per Vue official style guide -
Component/instance options should be ordered consistently.
This is the default order we recommend for component options. They're split into categories, so you'll know where to add new properties from plugins.
Side Effects (triggers effects outside the component)
el

Global Awareness (requires knowledge beyond the component)
name
parent

Component Type (changes the type of the component)
functional

Template Modifiers (changes the way templates are compiled)
delimiters
comments

Template Dependencies (assets used in the template)
components
directives
filters

Composition (merges properties into the options)
extends
mixins

Interface (the interface to the component)
inheritAttrs
model
props/propsData

Local State (local reactive properties)
data
computed

Events (callbacks triggered by reactive events)
watch
Lifecycle Events (in the order they are called)
beforeCreate
created
beforeMount
mounted
beforeUpdate
updated
activated
deactivated
beforeDestroy
destroyed

Non-Reactive Properties (instance properties independent of the reactivity system)
methods

Rendering (the declarative description of the component output)

renderError

After creating your own WordPress site, you need to think about saving its current state and be sure that nothing that's been done is lost.
Hacker attack. It is extremely difficult to find all the hacked and infected files in your site and it is of course much easier to restore the previously created backup.
Errors on hosting. Even the best of us are mistaken. There were cases when the hosting "accidentally" deleted the site completely and the person could not restore the latest version. Therefore, it is important not only to have a backup but also to store it remotely, for example on a dropbox.
Error while updating. It happens infrequently, but it happens. For example, a theme or plugin was updated and something went wrong. It's always faster and easier to restore a backup than repairing a breakdown.
Errors in the development – you make changes to the theme files and something went wrong. The solution is the same – backup.
Transferring a site to another hosting/domain/subdomain – when you change the domain name of a site (URL) and/or a hosting provider – the best way to transfer a site is to restore it from backup, but already in a new location.
Here is a list of proven tools that will help warn you against the above problems with the site.
One of the best hosting for WordPress – WP ENGINE uses this service to transfer sites from other hosting sites (that says a lot). In addition, this is the favorite Cloud service of many developers.
The most popular and one of their best tools for backups (backups), which is worth their money.
Easy to use. For beginners, for anyone. The plugin is extremely sensitive to hosting, any deviations in the hosting settings lead to errors and the inability to create a backup.
Very popular with WordPress users, especially the free version. Although the premium version has many additional useful features, like backups on a schedule and remote preservation on the cloud.
If you are not already using a backup for WordPress, we recommend you to select one of the options listed above, as soon as possible. Good luck!


They're in fighting form for the upcoming 32-woman tournament.
International standout Toni Storm, NXT superstars Lacey Evans and Sarah Logan, and lucha libre champion Princesa Sugehit are the first four competitors officially confirmed for WWE's inaugural Mae Young Classic.
The announcement brings into focus the global scale of the 32-woman tournament, coming this summer to the award-winning WWE Network.
Twenty-one-year-old Storm is the first and reigning PROGRESS Women's Champion in the United Kingdom. Already an eight-year veteran, Storm has carved out a reputation worldwide: Born in New Zealand, raised in Australia, and based in the U.K., she wrestled in 13 countries before age 20, capturing championships along the way. With an aesthetic flair that finds inspiration in '80s rock, plus a ring style that is equal parts technical and hard-hitting, Storm looks to impress on her biggest stage yet in the Classic.
Evans, of Parris Island, SC, is a familiar face to WWE Network subscribers. A newcomer inside the yellow ropes of NXT, Evans joined the WWE Performance Center in April 2016. Prior to pursuing sports-entertainment, she served in the U.S. Marine Corps for five years, including time spent as military police and a member of the Special Reactions Team, which is the Marine equivalent of a SWAT Team. Nicknamed "The Lady of NXT," Evans has said she hopes to use her platform in WWE to show women all over the world, including her 4-year-old daughter, that there are no limits on what you can achieve.
Hailing from Louisville, KY, Logan is proud to have been "born in the woods and raised in the mud," as she puts it. Like Evans, Logan is an NXT competitor and recruit at the Performance Center. She began her in-ring career on the U.S. independent scene in 2011, and quickly gained notoriety for her rough-and-tumble fights. She refined her skills in Japan under former WWE Light Heavyweight Champion Taka Michinoku before signing with WWE in October 2016. Logan, who has also won Olympic powerlifting competitions, made her NXT TV debut earlier this year.
One of the most esteemed grapplers in Mexico, the masked Sugehit, from Monterrey, brings 20 years' experience to the Classic. Since turning professional in 1996, Sugehit has earned countless accolades while competing in her home country's top organizations, CMLL and AAA. Not only that, but she has claimed the masks of numerous rivals over the year, which is considered the ultimate sign of triumph in lucha libre. She is also the current Mexican National Women's Champion.
